LucidSound LS15X

I currently use a wired headset when playing on my Xbox and, I must admit, thoughts of a wireless headset have been running through my mind, especially after the last few games of my favourite FPS where the wires got caught under my joysticks and totally messed up my game. It was absolutely nothing to do with my gameplay, oh no… So, about time I took the plunge then!

Other than the obvious benefit of no wire, the sound quality on these is pretty good, although maybe a bit heavy on the bass even when not using the Bass Boost equalisation mode and using one of the other 2 types, Signature or Neutral. It didn’t stop me from hearing everything I needed to clearly however and that’s the thing that I consider really important. The headset sits comfortably on your head and the earpads themselves are made with memory foam, ensuring you can wear them for hours at a time with hardly any discomfort while the frame is lightweight and doesn’t press too tightly on your head.

All of the controls you need are located conveniently on the earpieces including the volume and game/chat balance and you can even do a mic check to see how loud you sound to everyone else in the chat. Speaking of which, the boom mic is removable and a second back up mic kicks in when it is not present, ideal if you’ve had a breakage.

The battery life is good at 15 hours which should be plenty of time for anyone to make use of without panicking and at 30 feet, the range should mean you don’t get disconnected in-between games while sorting out a cup of tea! Consider me converted to wireless, why I didn’t do this a long time ago is anyone’s guess… RRP £69.99
