Experience your favorite PlayStation games the way they were made to be heard with a PlayStation Gold Wireless Stereo Headset, which is currently 27 percent off on Amazon.

Developed by PlayStation, this headset delivers amazing depth and audio clarity, elevating your gaming experience viacustom audio modes created exclusively for PlayStation. When we reviewed the headset, we were impressed with the convincing virtual surround, and the kind of comfort that holds up under marathon gaming sessions — just a few of the pros that earned this headset an 8.5 rating.

Stunning 7.1 virtual surround sound lets you experience all sounds, from big booms to whisper-quiet warnings, with exceptional clarity. Beyond the sound of the games, you’ll also enjoy clear chats thanks to the hidden noise-canceling microphone.

Using the Headset Companion App, you can download custom game modes created exclusively by PlayStation developers that are specifically tuned to enhance the audio in your favorite games. Custom audio modes include those for “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End,” “Ratchet and Clank” (PS4), “MLB the Show 16,” “Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection,” “Until Dawn,” “Destiny,” “Bloodborne,” “Batman: Arkham Knight,” “Assassin’s Creed Syndicate,” and more.

This model comes in jet black with a solid blue interior, but you can customize your look by swapping out the removable faceplates for something that better suits your unique style. As stylish as they are comfortable, you can easily wear the headphones for hours without any strain to your head or ears.

The headset allows you to connect to any PS game system. Connect wirelessly to your PS4, PS3, or home computer, or connect to your PS Vita system or other mobile devices with the included 3.5-millimeter audio cable. Beyond the headset, this set includes a wireless adapter, 3.5-millimeter audio cable, micro-USB recharging cable, and travel pouch.

This jet black PlayStation Gold Wireless Stereo Headset normally retails for $100 but is currently discounted to $73 on Amazon, providing a $27 (27 percent) discount.

Best PS5 bundles: Which PlayStation 5 bundles to buy today

The Playstation 5 system standing upright.

Gamers who are thinking about finally buying the PlayStation 5 should consider getting one of the many PS5 bundles, which will give you more value for your hard-earned money. With more PS5 exclusives on the way, now's a great time to finally purchase the console or to upgrade from the PlayStation 4. Check out the PS5 bundles that we've gathered here, just make sure that you hurry with your purchase because stocks may run out at any moment.
What are PS5 bundles?
Every purchase of the PlayStation 5 comes with a DualSense controller, but if you go with PS5 bundles, you'll be getting more. The extras come in the form of a copy of a game, so you already have something to install right after setting up your new console. Stocks of bundles can come and go though, so if you see one available, it's highly recommended that you proceed with the transaction immediately.
PlayStation 5 Slim Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III bundle -- $500

The PlayStation 5 Slim Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III bundle coincides with the launch of the PlayStation 5 Slim, an updated version of the console with a slimmer design and more storage space. This bundle comes with a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, which is the latest entry in the popular first-person shooter series. The game's campaign features the return of Task Force 101 as they go up a ruthless Russian terrorist named Vladimir Makarov, though most players would probably focus on its multiplayer modes.

This PS5 bundle gets you a PlayStation Portal and it’s not sold out, yet

The PlayStation Portal is an excellent, albeit exclusive handheld gaming console that works with the PS5. In our Portal review, we made it clear that while it cuts a lot of corners, it is an excellent companion to Sony's titular current-gen console. But to make the most of it, you really do need a PS5, which means if you don't have one, there's no point in buying a Portal until you do. Well, we spotted an incredible bundle that includes the PlayStation 5 Slim, a PlayStation Portal, and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 all together, all for you, at one great price. For $750, normally $760, so saving you $10, it's all yours. But here's the thing, the PlayStation Portal has pretty much been sold out everywhere. This bundle gets your hands on it, plus everything else you need to play. It even includes Spider-Man, so you can web-sling as soon as you set it up. If you've been searching high and low for the Portal, don't sleep on this deal.

Why you should buy the PlayStation 5 with PlayStation Portal bundle
The PlayStation 5 is a fantastic gaming console, but the exclusive games available on the platform are second to none. God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn, Death Stranding, I could go on and on. But one of the better features of the PlayStation 5 is the option to remotely play your games on compatible devices, from your smartphone to a PS4 in another room, you can connect in, stream, and play, just like if you were sitting in front of your PS5. The PlayStation Portal takes that to a whole new level.
