It may be tough to figure out a great gift for teens, but we've got a wide range of useful suggestions; from premium to affordable, from larger to smaller. Whether you're looking for a starter headset for them or want to decorate their desk with something special, scroll below for all of our gifts for teens suggestions with explanations. And good pictures, too.
Earbuds are all the rage now, and everyone wants one. But did you know that they are not so great with gaming? They utilize Bluetooth, which isn't as good. We solved that with our Arctis GameBuds, which use a small dongle to provide a better, lag-free connection with 2.4GHz. This high-speed connection is achieved with a small USB-C dongle, that you can plug in into a PlayStation, Xbox, or PC.
These earbuds are truly special for gamers, as you can use our mobile app to adjust the audio with Parametric EQ presets. These can make the audio specifically better for particular games, or tune up that bass when listening to music, and more. The critics certainly agree.
For the rest of it? There's convenient Bluetooth and 10-hour battery life (and the case provides 3 additional full charges as well). With Active Noise Cancellation, let them drift away into their favorite worlds for a bit. Add on to that highly sought-after water resistance, and you've got a really amazing holiday gift for teens, and not only.
This is our hottest new headset, and it comes with unique app support. Does your teen play a lot of a specific game, such as Minecraft, Fortnite, GTA, and so on? With an easy-to-use app, adapt the sound in the headset specifically to that game with carefully tuned Parametric EQ presets. Just like with the Arctis GameBuds.
We made special presets that highlight all the stuff they need to hear in the game, whether that's footsteps, bomb sets, drink usage, or other important details that can normally be missed. And if they're playing just to chill, there are presets that enhance immersion into the game too! The Arctis Companion App is easy to use and super quick to set up.
No one else offers so many presets like that for specific games to be used while gaming on console. This is a really unique proposition you can only get from SteelSeries.
Couple that with a 60-hour battery life for truly long-lasting action (game for up to a week!). With Quick-Switch Wireless, easily go from gaming on the console to convenient Bluetooth on your phone. And with cross-platform functionality, this headset is truly a win-win. It's a perfect premium gift for any teen, and they'll love chatting with their buddies when using the enhanced ClearCast 2.X microphone.
This multi-platform, wired headset has a real highlight: it has customizable RGB! Set your favorite color using our free software, and then enjoy it everywhere. Whether they plug it in to their switch or any other console or mobile device, the color will be remembered.
It's a great starter headset to give to a teen; it's also immensely comfortable and lightweight, making it a perfect choice for a younger gamer. Still enjoy signature SteelSeries sound quality but on an affordable, entry-level choice.
Dream up an amazing color combination with our Aerox 3 mouse customizer! With 5 selectable body colors, go from a classic white or black onto Royal Purple, Jade, or Ghost. Find a great match with one of 8 color options and even pick out the material!
Either choose a great composition for them, or let your teen make the choice and design their mouse. Don't forget that Aerox 3 Wireless is a super-lightweight, easy-to-use mouse that also shines in brilliant RGB colors. So let your teen truly shine the way they want with an Aerox 3 Custom.
Color your teen's world with their favorite hue! These keycaps can replace the ones they have on their mechanical keyboard, or an Apex Pro Mini, Apex Pro Mini Wireless, or an Apex 9 Mini.
These are fadeproof and durable, and they will stay consistent in texture, clarity, and appearance, even after heavy use. There are multiple colors to choose: Bright Pink, Black, Pastel Blue, and Pine Green.
Match it up, theme it up, and enjoy these amazing colors on a themed mousepad. Available in Pastel Blue, Pine Green, and Bright Pink.
These QcK M mousepads are of very high quality, made from our best micro-woven material that's trusted and best-selling around the world. They're optimized for extremely good tracking with whatever type of mouse your teen is using; they're also very durable and easy to clean.
If your teen loves playing mobile games, reinvent their experience with Stratus+, which is specifically made for that! Watch them never struggle again with uncomfortable touch controls, and instead, elevate their gameplay with a high-quality controller that comes with a fancy phone mount!
Easily play Fortnite and tons of other great Android games by mounting the phone on the convenient add-on and enjoy up to 90 hours of use (fast-charge function available, too). Perfect for trips!
