The best gaming headset I tried this year is $60 off for Black Friday
Earlier this year, I reviewed the Fractal Scape, a wireless gaming headset made for PC (also compatible with Switch 2) that really wowed me. Frankly, I wasn’t expecting much in this debut headset from a company known mostly for making PC cases, but it’s one of the most thoughtfully-designed models that I’ve tried recently.
If you’re in the market for an elegant headset that sounds great and docks to recharge (keeping cable clutter to a minimum on your desk), I suggest checking out the Black Friday special on the Scape. The discount on these initially brought them down to $169.99, but you can now snag a pair at Amazon and B&H Photo in both black and gray for $139.99, which is $60 off the usual price.
The Scape doesn’t do it all; it lacks active noise cancellation, it can’t pair via 2.4GHz and Bluetooth simultaneously, and its ear cups don’t swivel. That all would have been nice, but I’m still eager to recommend it for its great sound quality, sharp Scandinavian design, and because its browser-based settings customization is very good. Also, I have a soft spot for its Digital Crown-like knob used for adjusting volume and for pausing or skipping songs. At $170, it’s hard to do better than the Scape.
Update, November 29th: Adjusted the price to note they’re even cheaper right now.
