I've reviewed gaming headsets for years and this is the Prime Day deal I've been waiting to shout about

Something premium for a record low? Yes, please!

The Amazon Prime Day gaming deals have got off to a strong start in the UK, and this particular deal is one I've been waiting for and hoping would appear - because I couldn't possibly recommend it more.

There's a current Prime Day gaming headset deal that brings the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless gaming headset down to a record-beating lowest-ever price right now - it's plummeted from £329.99 to £269.99 at Amazon UK. This is the lowest price by a solid £20 and represents getting one of the best PS5 headsets, or the best Xbox Series X headsets (and the older consoles too, mind you) with nearly a whole fifth off the price. And for a record low! (Have I mentioned that bit, yet?)

This is my main headset for PS5 (and it has been on PC, too) and it is absolutely superb. It really is the full package when it comes to a wireless gaming headset, and the first part of that comes from the very fact that - whatever version you buy - it's multiplatform. We've linked to the PC and PlayStation variants here, but the Xbox/PC one is also reduced, a little further even, to just £255.55, by the way.

Anyway, elsewhere, the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless combines brilliant, SteelSeries-pedigree audio quality, a wonderfully clear and crisp (and retractable) microphone, an ingenious battery solution, and a dedicated DAC unit to the game to offer a really rounded experience for PS5 or PC. I don't give out many five-star scores when looking at tech, but that's exactly what I did when I reviewed it for sister site GamesRadar+ last year. Our own TechRadar review, carried out by Michelle, was equally as complimentary and she gave it four and a half stars too.

Unfortunately, in terms of US pricing, the same deal hasn't been reciprocated on the American side of the Atlantic but we'll be updating this post the moment that does happen if the price drops.

Also, we do recognize that this price still represents quite a commitment and investment still. As a result, we've also included a cheaper alternative below. But if you have been saving up for a big gaming audio upgrade this year, then the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless comes with my highest recommendation. As early contenders for non-Amazon Prime Day PS5 deals, and Prime Day headset discounts go, this is one of the best.
