I've been gaming with the Audeze Maxwell solidly for over a year and there is no better-sounding gaming headset deal I could recommend

Audeze Maxwell | 10 Hz — 50,000 Hz | Wireless | 80hr battery | $299$269 at Amazon (save $30)
There's no getting away from it, $269 is still an awful lot of money to spend on a PC gaming headset, but the Maxwell delivers audiophile planar magnetic drivers, and that means you're getting wireless sound that standard PC gaming headsets cannot match.

Sure, that's not the most stellar discount, and it's still a huge amount of money for anyone to spend on a gaming headset, but it's not a lot of money to spend on a planar magnetic set of headphones.
