If you can spare the extra 10$ the hyper X I think is better.

Is this a good headset for all those Verizon customers who got a $150 Xbox Series S last week?

Would it be better to buy this or to wait for a sale on one of the official wired or wireless Xbox Series S|X headsets?

I personally would refrain from the official xbox headsets, I think they're pretty poor build quality and I've heard the max volume is fairly low. I would stick to steel series or hyperx for budget headsets. This is probably the best $20 xbox compatible headset on the market, but I am no expert

Hyper X is terrible, specifically the pair you're recommending.

I have the wireless version of these headphones and they're awesome. I'm not an audiophile so if you're particularly picky there may be something to dislike, but for general use and gaming I really like these headphones. For $50 less than the wireless version, if you can deal with a cord these are really good.

The deal he was referring to was for the Cloud Core 7.1.

FYI here is a comparison between the Arctis 1 and Cloud Stinger

I'm perfectly happy with my with my $6 Wage deal, they sound better than any earbuds I have - am I missing out on anything with these $20-40 deals?

I have been using it on my gaming setup for more than a year and I think the sound is decent. For $20 this is a no brainer for me. The mic has a 5th line inside the cable to reduce noise and it works well on discord. I would recommend except if you have a cat. Guaranteed chewable cable texture within a week.
