Best Xbox Black Friday Accessories — The best deals on the best gifts and gadgets for your Xbox Series X|S and Xbox PC

The first gaming headset I ever reviewed was a Turtle Beach headset, and it has been fun watching the firm chase perfection over the years. The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 (Gen 3) is arguably the closest the firm has ever come to that, delivering a headset that feels premium while sitting in a far more affordable price range. This is the headset I recommend to anyone looking to step above the entry level.

The notoriously pricy Xbox Seagate Storage Expansion cards are all currently on sale, ranging from 1TB all the way up to a huge $120 saving on the 4TB model. These storage cards are essentially plug and play, just stick them in the back of your Xbox Series X|S and you'll immediately have additional storage. It also makes moving game content between devices easy, too. I've had mine since launch and have never had any issues whatsoever.

I've tried a lot of "gaming earbuds" and found that they usually came up short, either with connectivity issues, software quirks, or degraded audio. The SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds (Xbox/PC/Bluetooth) changed all that. With great audio quality, a supremely comfortable fit, and great battery life, the Gamebuds might even replace your Samsung or Apple earbuds. They sure as heck replaced mine.

The Backbone Pro is arguably the best and most ergonomic smartphone gamepad, compatible with almost any USB-C capable phone. In addition, this also supports Bluetooth, so you can use it as a regular controller on top. It's ideal for Xbox remote play, NVIDIA GFN, and Xbox Cloud Gaming, and it's got a decent saving for Black Friday.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro was my go-to headset for years and years, owing to its versatility. You can connect two USB-C devices with this, and feed another Bluetooth device on top. The retractable mic makes it an option for lifestyle use, and the handy DAC is a great tool for desk-based gamers. Hot swappable batteries seal the deal.

Need a player two? The standard Xbox Wireless Controller is currently on sale for 38% off, netting you a tidy saving on a variety of standard colors. The Xbox Wireless Controller supports Bluetooth, making it compatible with devices like the Amazon Fire Stick, phones, and TVs, and lets you bring your own batteries on top.

While I was searching for deals, I couldn't help but notice this absolutely excellent limited edition controller was not only still in stock, but actually on sale at Best Buy. The DOOM: The Dark Ages Xbox controller is one of the best custom designs in a long line of custom controllers from Microsoft, and well worth considering if you missed it the first time around.

When the first version of the official Xbox Wireless Headset launched, I wasn't particularly impressed with it. The audio quality wasn't fantastic, and the headset had some software bugs to boot. The latest version is a big improvement, however, offering solid entry-level wireless audio for casual use, with good connectivity and build quality. It won't blow you away, but neither will its affordable price point.

Need an even cheaper player two and don't mind a cable? "Cheap" controllers are usually trash, but GameSir actually made one that fits the bill, and in a couple of ways it's even better than the official Xbox controller. For player two, you don't want to be screwing around with batteries and the like (or maybe even player one). The long cable ensures you're never without power. It has Hall Effect sticks and triggers too, eliminating drift. It's lightweight, ergonomic, and has a high-quality feel despite the price. Definitely consider this. I use it mainly when docking my Xbox Ally.

Wait, isn't this the same as the above controller? Well, not quite. This "G7" controller takes the experience a step further by adding back buttons, as well as improved materials. Back buttons are a boon for competitive play, allowing you to do things like jump and activate abilities without having to take your fingers off the joysticks. In games like Overwatch and Call of Duty, it can save your life. It's up to you whether or not you think you need that, of course.

I'm lucky enough to have a variety of headsets to choose from thanks to my job, but if I was looking for a $100~ range option, this Black Friday deal would be really tough to beat. This is a mid-ranger kind of headset with broad compatibility for a variety of devices, focused mainly on Xbox. The audio is decent albeit not spectacular, but it arguably becomes killer at this price point.

The Razer Kishi Ultra really is the "Ultra"-mode option for those seeking an Xbox / NVIDIA cloud-capable mobile controller. This large option gives you full ergonomic tilt over other more "travel"-sized options, complete with support for even small tablets like the iPad Mini. If you want to move away from smaller screens for your remote play set up, look no further.

My Razer Kishi Ultra review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

While this deal seems to be for Prime members only, it is the best dock I've been able to find for the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X thus far. Most of the docks aren't designed with the Xbox Ally grips in mind (including this one honestly), but its raised profile makes it compatible by default. Support for 100w throughput and a variety of ports makes it a great and affordable option to put your Xbox Ally on a larger monitor.

I've been using Elgato capture cards for years and years at this point and have reviewed virtually every model. This is the the culmination of everything Elgato has learned over the years, delivering something that has required virtually zero tweaks to perfect at the user's end. If you want to capture Xbox gameplay for streaming or YouTube, look no further than this great deal.
