The Steelseries Siberia 200 delivers high quality sound and has a clear microphone for in-game communication.

The Siberia 200 headset usually retails for $79.99, but can be found on sale for $59.99 during the Holidays. This headset comes in seven different colors, which can make gifting these even more fun!

The NES Classic is probably going to be the product in highest demand this Holiday season. It’s in short supply, but Nintendo intends on pushing more units to make it readily available.

It comes pre-loaded with 30 NES games with the ability to save game data and jump in-and-out of games quickly. It connects through an HDMI port and comes with a traditional NES controller. Keep in mind that the cord on the controller is extremely short.

Many resellers are aiming high to make a profit, but the NES Classic retails for $59.99 and should be on shelves for the Holidays.

Both Fire TV Stick and Chromecast offer a simple solution to streaming video to your TV by plugging straight into an HDMI port. They both function similar to one another by letting you access several streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, HBO Now, etc.) given you have a membership. Several apps are compatible with both products such as Twitch and YouTube.

The Chromecast is controlled through a smartphone app. The Fire TV Stick is controlled by a packaged remote and has Alexa voice capabilities. Both connect to the internet through Wi-Fi.

The Chromecast and Fire TV Stick retail for $35 and $40, respectively.

If you want to gift a high-performance mouse, the Razer Deathadder Chroma is an attractive option. It’s not too flashy and has a solid, ergonomic design.

There are two side buttons above where the thumb rests that can be programmed through the Razer Synapse software. Most games will instantly recognize these buttons, and they can also be used as back/forward for web browsing.

It also has full 16.8 million color backlighting, also customizable through the Synapse software. It has an extremely high-precision sensor, as expected for a gaming-grade mouse, and is light at just 105g/4.16oz.

You’ll be able to find the Deathadder Chroma for under $60 when on sale.

For well under $60, the Anker SoundCore Bluetooth speaker is a great value. It’s advertised to provide rich bass and a smooth midrange. The highs could be harsh at louder volumes according to reviewers, but it’s not a deal-breaker considering that reviewers have praised its overall sound quality.

The SoundCore is rated to last 24 hours on a full charge. Its Bluetooth connectivity can also reach up to 60 feet.

If you know someone with a PS4 and interested in getting into VR, you can do them a favor by giving them a jumpstart. Playstation VR requires a Playstation Camera and it’s not part of the PSVR package. It’s quite an expensive investment, so you could help lower the barrier to entry.

The Playstation Camera also functions as a webcam, voice-recognition device, and motion-tracker. However, those features are ancillary to its purpose as a vital component to PSVR.

The Jackery Titan portable charger can be found well under $60 and is one of the more coveted power banks. It has two USB ports and a 2A micro USB port. It’s rated to charge the following devices to full capacity:

• iPhone 6s: 7.5 times over

• Galaxy S7: 7 times

• iPad Mini: 2.5 times
