SteelSeries makes some of the best gaming gear, and I know because I have their stuff all over my desk. Right now, you can find everything from gaming headsets and speakers to mice and keyboards at some of the best prices ever. Here are just a few of my favorites.
First up is the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro wireless headset, which is over $80 off. This system includes a gaming DAC that can be used to pair with PlayStation consoles, PCs, and other devices, and easily switch between them. It also includes two batteries, so you can charge one in the DAC while using the other. They’re easy to switch between, so you’ll rarely run out of power.
One of my favorite SteelSeries gadgets, the Arena 9 speakers, are currently on sale for $245. This is a great desktop audio system. It features five surround sound speakers — two front speakers, two rear speakers, and one center channel — as well as a massive subwoofer under the desk. The two front speakers also feature built-in RGB lighting, so you can enhance the ambiance of your battle station without buying any extra gear. If this system is too expensive for you, SteelSeries also offers a couple other kits with fewer speakers that are also on sale right now.
Finally, if you’re into streaming or just want to get a clearer sound during your Zoom meetings, the Alias Pro Microphone Bundle ($125 off) is a great option. Professional audio gear typically requires learning specialized gear like interfaces and preamps. This bundle offers a simplified interface with a prominent gain control, headphone mute, and mic mute buttons. The Alias microphone uses an XLR connector, so you can upgrade to a higher-quality mic in the future. This bundle delivers solid audio quality right out of the box and has plenty of room for expansion.
