Impressive headset from Lucidsound
344424
I have been trying various wireless headsets for my PS4 Pro and stumbled across the LS30. For reference,  I already own the Steelseries Arctis 7 and Hyperx Cloud Flight. While both of those headsets are very impressive,  i still wasn't fully satisfied with either. Both headsets lacked overall volume and the Cloud Flight is mostly plastic. Enter the LS30 from Lucidsound. This headset is metal and very durable. Granted its about 2oz heaviet than my other headsets but nothing that noticeable. I can play for hours with no problems. Sound wise i think the Cloud Flights sound a little better but not by much. The LS30 has 3 eq settings and sounds very good for both games and music. They definitely are the loudest of the 3 by a good margin. I keep the LS30 at about 50% volume and the others at about 80-90%. Comfort wise i actually like all 3 pretty equally. For microphone quality, the Arctis 7 has the best microphone but the other 2 are still very good and perfect for chatting in game. The LS30 has roughly the same battery life as the Arctis 7 from what i have noticed. The Cloud Flight without led lights on wins with avout 30hrs of battery. Price wise i was able to get the LS30 for about $40 less than the others. I honestly could have just bought the LS30 first and been completely satisfied with them. As it stands right now the LS30 is my daily driver headset that i use the most and the other 2 are sitting in my closet. I cannot recommend the LS30 enough.

I will start off by saying that I do like this headset a lot.

Pros:
Voice clarity is great, and mid/high-range comes in perfect.
Stereo imaging is on point, and sounds come from the proper areas in the headset.
Mic works great and is overall sturdier and better designed than the SteelSeries v2 (the precursor to this).
The software works great and is very intuitive for changing the colors/messing with settings.
Headset is extremely comfortable, although I would not recommend it for large heads, as it doesn't go as large as I expected (unlike the V2).
USB connection works immediately with all machines I have used it with - no issues at all (which I cannot say the same for in other USB headsets).

Cons:
The bass is almost non-existent.
Normally I wouldn't really expect this from a headset, but the SteelSeries V2 actually had very impressive bass response.
I've had the SteelSeries V2 for 2 years now, and they still sound as good as the day I got them.
This headset, however, simply does not have the low-end the V2 did.  As a listener of a TON of music that requires even mediocre bass, this headset is a bit disappointing.  However, I have noticed the headset is sounding slowly better in bass over time (I've had them for 3 months now).  Either that or maybe my ears are just getting used to it.  I will definitely update this review if I notice the bass getting better.

That is seriously the only gripe I have with this headset.
Everything else is exactly I expected the quality of SteelSeries to be.

Even with the bass issue, I would still recommend this headset, due to voicechat still being wonderful as well as mids/top end being great.

The sound quality of the headset is crystal clear, and provides a great stereo sound experience whether you are playing a video game, listening to music, or watching video. I could not ask for more at the price point as far as sound quality, which exceeded my expectations. I would add that the mic works perfectly. I have not tried it with an online game yet, but I have used it to record my voice with the Fluenz French 1+2 language learning software and also with Windows Vista voice recognition. The mic was immediately recognized by both, and the recording of my voice with Fluenz was crystal clear. Installation of the headset is also extremely simple.

The only drawback is the fact that the headset feels tight on my head. It can be uncomfortable, and I can't imagine wearing it all day. However, all in all, I would say the positives far outweigh this drawback. This is the best headset, and best mic for my pc, that I've ever owned, and I definitely recommend it.

I've had multiple $100+ gaming headsets from Logitec and Skull Candy and these are BY FAR the best I've ever owned. I love the control you get with the "Maelstrom" box as well as taking the audio processing off of the CPU for better performance. I love how you can switch between the 7.1 and the 2.0 with a touch of a button because the 7.1 sounds AMAZING on all my games and perfect for movies while I like to switch to the 2.0 for music. Mic quality is SUPERB! My guildmates could tell I changed something and they commented how good I sounded. Mic is also made of a bendable rubber that can be adjusted anyway you like.

The padding around the ears and headband is VERY soft and comfortable and have great sound canceling. Ear height adjustors are METAL not plastic like I've had on some head sets. The side of the ear pieces have the RAZER symbol that lets of a soft LED blue glow that matches perfectly with my PC and RAZER mouse. The cord is also wrapped in cloth so it feels more like a rope than a cord which is a very nice touch.

For $150 the price is a bit steep but they are worth every penny! Comes with a really nice hard travel case and packaged in a nice hard sided "cigar box". I recommend watching some unboxing videos to see how impressive it is.

Highly recomended for anyone who what's to have an amazing audio experience.

Fabulous design and super comfortable. The ear pads are semi permeable meaning I can hear someone when they are talking.  The stand/charger is sleek, modern and practical. The Dolby sound quality is tremendous and meets my expectation. I was able to purchase these new at a price not offered anywhere else -on-line or in the stores- Very satisfied Amazon customer....also purchased the A50 Noise-Isolating Mod Kit

The Turtle Beach Ear Force, Heroes of the Storm PC & Mobile Gaming Headset is a much better product than I expected.  I passed up a similar headset Call of Duty: Modern Warfare a while back and went with a cheaper package. Now I see what I was missing.  The sound quality for both the headset and mic are outstanding!  As someone who does sound engineering for various film and audio projects, the quality is close to what I get with my Sennheiser headset that I got with my Avid audio package. The sound is crisp, and clear with distinct highs and very tight bottom notes.

On conference calls, webinars and Skype, the headset performed beautifully. I've got no complaints whatsoever. Another nice feature is the ability to either put into place the Turtle Beach logo on the sides or pass on it. As someone over 30, I found the extra branding unnecessary and am grateful that I was given a choice.  Definitely a good value for the price.

I've owned this headset for a little under a week, so I haven't been able to truly put it through its paces. With that said, here are my initial thoughts:

There's a lot of good to talk about with this headset. Despite its bulk, the headset is surprisingly light and comfortable. It's slightly tight, but not uncomfortable (I wear XL hats, so perhaps it will work well for others). The audio is very impressive (particularly the surround sound feature), and I've enjoyed listening to audio books, making skype calls, and listening to music. The external earcup provide storage for the USB dongle, which is a great feature.

This was my first surround sound headset, and I have to say I am very impressed!

It's digital surround sound so it runs right through the USB. You just download the program and drivers and it runs pretty easily.

The sound quality is amazingly clear compared to what I used to use but I won't go into lows and highs since I'm no audiophile.

A few thing that I have found annoying are that since it runs through the USB, I constantly have to switch where the sound is coming from in my audio settings for things like skype/chrome/etc. I've pretty much switched to the headset only and rarely use my speakers now. Another is that these are not very comfortable after wearing for long hours. My ears start to hurt even after a couple hours. The last thing is the cord. It is very stiff and it hasn't lost its twisted up look from being tied together when I first got it.

The cons definitely do NOT outweigh the pros. I'm really blown away at how well these perform for the price. Plus I'm glad I didn't need a new soundcard or anything.

I received my Kraken 7.1 headset 3 days ago and I'm amazed! With being a hardcore gamer along with a streamer; I felt I needed to find the right headset this time and I have.

Noticeable Points:
-The design and material is amazing! Really love the mic light and headset comfort.
-The 7.1 sound along with the bass settings really amaze me with the games and movies. I found the headset for sound quality.
-The program used for the headset settings is really easy to use and really can be used for a personal fit.
-The Packaging was very exquisite.
-Right out of the box I was able to wear the headset for several hours without headache

Overall Thoughts:
I really would highly recommend this headset to anyone. I have used other headsets,and this one has just out performed and dominated other headsets out of the water. I'm very thankful for this product and this is my review.

This headset is absolutely amazing.

It's extremely comfortable to wear, with significant padding, but a great deal of attention dedicated to managing heat. They are not kidding about those heat sinks, I've never felt my ears getting hot in this headset.

The sound quality is excellent, with the advertised surround sound coming through very clearly. I played Skyrim with this headset and it significantly changed the gameplay experience. While I'm not big on surround sound speakers, in a headset this creates amazing situational awareness, clearly being able to identify the direction of sounds.

Obviously of course, this does depend on the source material. Some games have bad implementations of surround sound.

In terms of microphone quality my experience has been good. There are certainly better microphones available, but it doesn't pick up much noise. The friend I bought a pair for uses it more extensively for this purpose and she's come through very clearly.

The flexibility of the mic arm is a bit misleading. It can bend, but it is very stiff and does not bend far without bouncing back. However, this has not been a problem with using it.

The blast source identifier feature is a nifty gimmick, though not one that generally applies to my gaming. If you play games with loud large explosions, it has rumble motors in the ears that vibrate left or right in response to that. This however seems to affect the audio quality slightly for some reason. From what I can tell, it seems to do this based off of the bass in the audio, setting off left or right depending on the speaker origin, the few times I've used it it seems to work well.

The only real flaw I see to the headset is the LEDs. It lights up... and very bright... with no way to turn off the lights. Basically, if you game in a dark room... it'll light it up a fair bit. Not light bulb bright, but bright like your smartphone screen.

I have purchased two of these so far, one for myself and one as a gift for a friend. After trying mine, my roommate went out and bought a pair as well.

Added brand bonus... everything they make, from every piece of hardware to the software behind it is named after a different greek god. Theology geeky :-)

These headsets are rocking! I quite mean that literally, they feature a dynamic bass vibration feature that is quite impressive. Not only that, the sound quality is spectacular.

I first thought the pink would turn me off from the headsets but I was completely wrong! The pink really adds to the visual flair of these, as well as the changing LED lights on the ear cups. Visually, these headsets are stunning with the pink and white theme even extending onto the corded USB cable.

Audio quality is superb. The bass hits low and the highs and mids are crisp! Love the surround sound features as it helped me a lot during competitive play to pinpoint enemy locations. To go with the excellent audio quality, the mic was fantastic also. In fact, my team mates noticed a clear difference from my normal headsets.

The A60s are big however. But, I love that they are around the ear design. They might be big, but they were comfortable. Unfortunately, I did notice they were a little heavy on my head, but the padding more than made up for it. So, when purchasing these you have to keep that in mind.

Overall, the A60s are a great pair of headphones! Definitely recommend them to anyone!

*Sades sent these to me to review but, the review is 100% my honest opinion*

Very pleased with this headset. The battery life is exceptional and having a second battery for hot swap is a plus. Strong wireless range throughout the house up to 40' plus. Sound quality is good for the 40mm drivers. Comfort is average with the fit being a little snug for individuals with larger skulls. I recommend this headset for those that have the cash outlay for them. Not cheap.

I have owned a pair of Jabre REVO wireless for a little over 3 months now and have been extremely happy with this product. I was looking at several brands and narrowed it down to these and a pair of Dre. Beats. I'm happy I chose these, especially for being $100 cheaper. The sound is excellent, even if you choose not to use Jabra's App on Iphone and Android. Honestly, the app adds a crspness to the music, however it also give off a metalic noise to it so I chose to stick with my regualar music player.

I've paired this headset to my phone, PS3, and ASUS laptop with no difficulty at all. Also, a nice feature they have is if you don't want to burn out the battery of your headset, it comes with a standard 3.5mm headphone jack that will operate the headset when it's powered off and no expense of the soune so if your battery died or a device won't allow you to pair by bluetooth. Love this feature.

There is a switch that you slide to turn on/off and then hold in one direction to begin the pairing process. There are also 2 buttons, 1 on the left ear 1 on the right that help with user interface. The one on the left ear of for connecting to multiple devices and switching between devices. Pretty neat feature. The button on the right side allows you to play and pause music and answer and end calls.

My only "frustration" with this headset is getting it to restart a song or skipping a song. Since it's all done by the touch, the sensitivy of the panel is hard to gauge and often unresponsive for several attempts at trying to get music to switch. I've tried sliding my finger across, which I've noticed that it recognizez that the most, or double tapping the sensor, which works about half the time.

Battery life on this powerful little thing is pretty impressive. I've been able to listen to non-stop music for roughly 12-13 hours without being concerned about it dieing which is wonderful. Out of the box it has a decent charge and doesn't take long at all to get fully charged.

Out of the several brands of headsets I've owned, this is honestly the most comfortable, not the lightest (close though) but definitely don't get any kind of fatigue around my ears which is excellent for extended periods of listening.

The box that this item comes in is pretty cool as well, hard plastic shell that makes sure it won't rattle around or come loose. This also comes with a carry bad with a strap which is very convenient. I've already mentioned the 3.5mm jack that comes with this, the jack also had a call answer and end button on it for when you don't want to have the headset power on.

I've had mixed opinions about call clarity with these however. I've had a few friends tell me they can hear me cleary and a few that said I was muffled and hard to hear so I don't really use these for answering calls anymore just to be safe. Not a big thing for me though.

As of right now I would recommend these to anyone. Can be pricy for some, but compared to other brands these are a steal.

After much deliberation, I've settled on the Bluedio UFO; after around 20-30 hours of break-in and finally getting them to pair with my Windows laptop I'm very happy with the UFO.

Two things aided in my purchase:
1.  I didn't absolutely need active noise cancellation, I'd prefer to have better audio quality for those times that I'm not in a loud space.
2.  The UFO has been compared extensively to the R+ Legend by people who own both headsets, and all confirmed that the Bass in the UFO was more balanced by comparison.

The UFO was very muddy when I first bought them, I was terribly disappointed at first listen.  Music sounded very odd, multiple drivers in each ear cup actually threw me off for a bit.  The balance between the drivers was awful, sounds were coming from certain directions (without surround mode) rather than all the sound being centered on my ear like a single driver would.  I used EqualizerAPO to modify the sound to my liking, but I found that as my listening time progressed it needed constant adjustment.  Much to my chagrin, I turned off the Equalizer and the headset sounded fine, great actually.  I'd recommend anyone give these at least ~30 hours before making any final judgments.

I then subscribed to Spotify and the audio quality was much less muddy when enabling their high quality streaming option.  I expected their free bit stream to lack bass, but it would appear they must temper the highs more, I could speculate as to why but that's for a different time a place.

Each driver is much more closely matched to each other than they were before, and the bass very much present without being overpowering.  These aren't an audiophiles headset, far from it, and I still have Grado SR-80e's on my wishlist.  These do have great clarity thanks to the multiple drivers, and are awesome for low to moderate-high listening levels.  The battery life is awesome, I use these exclusively at work and I've gone an entire work week without charging them, came in on Monday and they're still going, likely thanks to the excellent stand by times as I can't listen to them for the full 8 hours each day.

Pairing to my phone was as easy as Pi.  Pairing to my laptop on the other hand was a huge pain, I'm a very technical person and found the most nontechnical solution.  In the Windows 10 Bluetooth pairing window, once the device shows up in the list, just click the crap out of that sucker.  I've tried being patient, performing a single double click to start the pairing process, but that always timed out.  Clicking the ever living hell out of that thing finally got it to pair and now I can enjoy these as I intended, without interacting with my phone all day and affecting its own battery life.

I'm using this headset on my PS4. It arrived on time and as advertised. Brand spanking new in factory package. Let me start this review by stating that I am an audiophile. This is not an audiophile quality headset. Don't buy it expecting any miracles. But for a console gaming headset, you cannot beat this package! The sound is really good. In game it sounds like listening to a movie over a mid range home theater surround sound system. The Dolby Digital adds a depth and clarity that should make anyone grin ear to ear, especially considering this P11/DSS2 combo is less than fifty dollars.

Headset is light and comfortable on my very large head. Some people complain about the cord getting twisted up. A simple fix is to not twist the cord. Get or make a headset stand and take it off and on the stand the same way every time and the cord won't twist.

The price point to benefit ratio of this bundle is insane. Cinematic game sound with superior voice chat capability. You can't go wrong with this bundle.

I bought these on pre-order from Amazon.com without having seen any feedback.  Generally, I have found that Sony products are of high quality though I did not have much experience with their sound products.  This headset is phenomenal, in a nutshell.  The battery life is outstanding and the sound quality is top-notch.  Playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 I was hearing sounds/noises I have never heard before and they sounded incredible!  The immersion was improved over my 7.1 surround setup at home.  The only con I will say is that after an hour or so of game play my ears started to hurt from the pressure from the headset.  It may be just my head shape and may a better fit for other users.  Overall, I would highly recommend this headset and I would buy them again.

I bought the 20th Anniversary Edition Sony Gold Wireless Stereo Headset from my local Best Buy this past Sunday, and so far I'm pretty impressed. I bought these to play Destiny with a couple of my buddies and be able to talk to them while doing raids/strikes/pvp etc.

COMFORT - When I first put them on my head the thing I immediately noticed was the pretty extreme clamping force; so I stretched em out overnight on the box it came in and it's now much, MUCH better. It's still noticeable, but I can play for about 3 hours before my head/ears feel a bit sore. 15 minute break and that's all it takes for me to be ready for another 3 hours. Very minor inconvenience IMO.

USABILITY - This headset connect to PS4 no problem. Plug in the wireless adapter, turn on the headset, and go. I recommend downloading the Headset Companion App if you enjoy tweaking sound profiles and whatnot. These are about as usable on PC as well, as they are on PS4. Just plug the wireless dongle into a USB port on your PC(don't have a mac to test this on,) select default for both mic and headset and you're good to go. The convenience of this is immense when I really just don't feel like dealing with the cables of my Senn HD558 'phones that have a 10 ft cable that I always roll over with my desk chair lol. Anyway, back on track.

SOUND -  These sound ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL for their price range. I bought them for the full 99.99 but the fact that you can buy the original version of these for around 70 bucks online is more than a steal. In terms of HOW they sound, well that depends. The virtual surround sound comes enabled default out of the box. Do yourself an immense favor and just disable this. Virtual surround sound is a gimmick. With it turned on the bass is entirely sucked out, and the treble becomes so shrill that I just can't listen to it. With VSS turned off what you get is a very good, slightly elevated(also slightly bloated) bass response, warm mids, and very articulate and clear treble frequencies. Soundstage is also quite good for a closed back headphone. I wasn't expecting the Sony Gold's to sound this good, honestly.

MIC - honestly this is probably the biggest downside of the headset. The microphone quality is very, very sub-par. It's quite a bit muffled and sounds like you might be speaking out of a toilet depending on how echo-ey the room you're in is. It's also quite sensitive and will pick up your controller input sounds if you smash buttons like I do. Make sure you're buddies on PSN don't care if they hear controller sounds once in a while. HOWEVER, it is pretty cool that it isn't a boom mic that's always in your peripheral vision all the time and can sometimes get in the way. I don't find this too big a deal seeing as all my buddies want is to be able to hear my voice and understand what I say. Pure quality of voice isn't important to some people.

CONCLUSION - Basically, this is THE best value oriented PS4 headset. I'm sure there's better sounding, more comfortable ones with a better microphone on them. But you won't be able get them for $100 or less. The Sony Gold Wireless headset sounds phenomenal once VSS is turned off. I don't recommend buying these if you wear glasses, I imagine the clamping force would be unbearable. The mic kinda sucks, but it's good enough for talking to your friends. All in all this headset is an absolute steal. Enjoy!
