LucidSound’s LS-30 headset looks as good as it sounds, and it sounds pretty great

Video games have always been known to be visual spectacles, but how you hear the game can alter your experience as well. While many gaming headsets offer premium sound or wireless features, style usually takes a distant second place to substance. It doesn’t have to be this way; just because you’re at home gaming doesn’t mean you should have to sacrifice good looks. Aiming to resolve the issue, LucidSound looks to deliver high quality sound in a stylish shell with their new universal headset dubbed the LS-30. Touting a $150 price tag, 50 mm drivers, wireless capability, and more, do the LS-30 have enough to become your new go-to headset?

In this video we go hands-on with the LS-30 to see if they are more than just a pretty face for gamers. See how the headset works and hear our thoughts after weeks of trenuous use in this quick video review. Featuring unique game and chat volume controls, a convenient boom-mic and built-in mic monitoring, there’s plenty in store.
