Gaming upgrades typically focus on the visual side, but you can never discount the audio part of this equation. For Black Friday 2023, there are some excellent speaker deals available from a number of big brands in this field that you can use to add that touch of immersion to your gaming setup.
First up, there’s SteelSeries and its line of surround sound setups. Relatively new in this space, SteelSeries is offering some sizable discounts on its Arena 7 and Arena 9 hardware. The Arena 7 is priced at $240 (normally $300) and this package includes two stylish two-way speakers and a subwoofer. These also feature Reactive PrimSync that turns your audio into a light show with its array of LEDs, as well as wire-free and immersive audio with its Bluetooth connections. You’re also free to use a more traditional mode of connectivity and you can adjust the audio with the Sonar Spatial program to make it sound just right.
For a more full-featured experience, the $420 Arena 9 (normally $550) includes two front and two rear speakers, a dedicated channel speaker, and a subwoofer. This has all of the same features as the Arena 7, as well as an informative OLED screen with multiple functions and an Arena wireless mic for when you feel like chatting. If space is at a premium, you can pick up the SteelSeries Arena 3 for $90 (normally $120), a pretty sturdy and reliable set desktop speakers.
Razer also has a few good specials for Black Friday to check out. The V2 version of the Razer Leviathan soundbar and subwoofer improves on the original in multiple ways, and overall, you’re getting a stylish piece of equipment that doesn’t take up much space, delivers crisp sound, and powerful bass. It’s worth noting that there are no 3.5mm or optical audio inputs, so this only going to find practical use with your PC. At $200 instead of its usual MSRP of $250, it’s still good value for money if you don’t mind those technical omissions.
Lastly, there’s the Razer Nommo Chroma, which kind of sounds like the name of a weird band. This is a pair of stereo wired PC speakers, with pretty decent sound overall at this price point and with some fancy RGB lighting effects thrown into the mix.
