This Razer Headset for Xbox Is Next to Nothing at Amazon While This Deal Lasts

Pick up this headset for $10 when you redeem the coupon code — but don’t wait. This deal may not last.

If you’re a gamer and you have an Xbox you desperately need a decent gaming headset. And while high-end models can set you back a couple of hundred, there are plenty of options well below that price point. And even better, with this deal we spotted, you can pick up a $50 pair for essentially $10.

Right now, the Razer BlackShark V2 X Xbox wired gaming headset is discounted at Amazon for $40. When you redeem the on-page coupon RZR30, you will get a $30 digital credit toward future Amazon purchases. That means that you are getting this headset for only $10.

This price is for two of the four colors: pink or white. Black is discounted to $40 currently but the coupon code is not redeemable on that color. Once you purchase the headset at $40, as long as you’ve clipped the on-page coupon, your $30 digital credit will be confirmed via email within 24 hours after shipment is completed. For Prime members in many parts of the country, this headset is deliverable in a day or two.

The Razer BlackShark V2 X has thick cushioned earcups to cover ears and isolate sound better, giving you a more intense, immersive experience. The cardioid mic is bendable for ideal placement and features improved pickup patterns for clarity. And note that this is not a wireless gaming headset. The wired headset has a 3.5 mm jack that is compatible with Xbox as well as other platforms. At this price, it’s well worth considering picking one up as backup for an additional device or future use.

Why this deal matters

Although you’ll have to spend the $40 upfront, the redeemable $30 coupon makes this a deal hard to pass up. Because the headset is already down to $40, with the $30 coupon you’re essentially paying only $10. Unless you have no intention of future purchases on Amazon, this deal just makes sense if you’re in the market for a new headset. But this is the kind of deal we expect to disappear rather quickly, so don’t hold back if you’re ready to buy.
