Over the past few years we've seen a number of premium audio companies catering more towards the rapidly expanding gaming market, and that includes Bang & Olufsen. With its Portal range it offers luxury over-ear headphones for console and PC gamers.

The B&O Beoplay Portal headset is available in two variants, one for Xbox and PC owners, the other for PlayStation and PC. Both now have amazing discounts for Black Friday, starting at £244 in the UK, $299 in the US.

And, as you can also use them with your mobile phone or tablet over Bluetooth, with active noise cancelling on board, they are great for travelling too. See the US and UK deals below.

The Bang & Olufsen Portal headphones for Xbox offer high-end audio and design, but for console gamers. They are available with great deals in the US and UK now, in black, navy or mist colourways.

The second generation version of the Portal headset is for PlayStation and PC owners - the headphones work particularly well with PS5. And, with Bluetooth you can use them out and about too. They are available in the US and UK in the same three colours as the Xbox version above.

A big draw for Bang & Olufsen's headphones - apart from the appeal of the brand itself - is the design and build. The Portal is a sumptuous pair of headphones that's not only designed to look great but be easily worn for long periods of time without getting uncomfortable. The lightweight frame combines with a pressure-relieving design to ensure they don't feel tight or heavy.

The Xbox version features the 'Designed for Xbox' stamp, and that means you get great sound, and very little latency when connected using the 2.4Ghz connection to the console. While the PC/PS model comes with a dongle to use it wireless with your rig or console.

From an audio perspective, you also get lossless audio as well as support for Dolby Atmos - giving you high-quality immersive sound - as well as ANC that can adjust and boost performance depending on your environment. 

Of course, they're not gaming headphones without chat functionality, and so they're also designed to offer clear audio when multiplayer gaming online, thanks to some noise-cancelling mics dotted around the headphones. There's no boom arm, but the virtual mic works wonders and keeps the design tidy enough to look go outdoors as much as in.
