When LucidSound announced the LS50X at last year’s E3, I was both surprised and worried. For a while LucidSound has been a bang for your buck company, a quality that is great at low to mid-tier, but matters less in regard to high end. Still, the LS50X retained much of what made LucidSound so...
There are a number of items that make a safe bet for gamers. This could be a controller, keyboard, mouse but the most common one is probably headphones. Not only are these prone to breaking, either due to the nature of use or low build quality, resulting in some people just looking for some bang...
Initially gaming headsets were designed with chat in mind. Eventually this evolved into something closer to normal headphones and today they do all kinds of neat things like Waves Nx or Super X-Fi technology. While that is great for anyone looking for a more immersive experience, sometimes people...
One thing I’ve always appreciated about LucidSound is the number of options and value they offer. Even when I gave my friend a pair of their old entry level LS20s, she wore them daily and often commented on them being the best pair she has heard. While LucidSound has found a lot of success at...
Following their reveal at this years E3, LucidSound has finally announced the preorder date of their upcoming LS50X Snoop Dogg Limited Edition headset. First and foremost, this headset will be limited to 3,500 units, each individually numbered, and will be available for preorder from...
One of the hardest things to buy is a good pair of headphones. Very few places have them on display, the ones that do have a small selection and this is not the best setting to evaluate their quality. This is especially bad for gaming, as it’s less about technical specs and more features. This...
When it comes to headset recommendations, for the average gamer I tend to recommend something from LucidSound. They tend to have the best bang for your buck and provide a fantastic experience, whether you’re looking to spend $75 or $250. While we enjoyed the LS25 and thought the LS41 was...
Prior to E3, LucidSound revealed two new models, the LS1 and LS10, that players can enjoy. The LS1 headset is LucidSounds first step into the purely chat headset market and boasts the usual volume knob on the side and what looks to be like a fairly comfortable ear cup. This will come in two...
While I can’t speak for everyone, I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of low end products. Once you go to a certain point, all choice is kind of irrelevant. This is largely how gaming headphones are. After moving past earbuds and chat only options, basic headphones are little more than a cheap...
One of the best things about conventions is trying things you don’t normally get to try. The amount of headphones, chairs, keyboards and mouses on display is a fantastic way to see a lot of products, without having to obtain them. One product that really surprised me was LucidSound. Their...
LucidSound is the new kid on the block when it comes to names in the gaming audio market, but the company is looking to shake things up. Gaming headsets typically have a Tron style look, sharp straight lines and often on the bulky side. LucidSound is here to say you can have great audio and an...
