Posted April 26, 2018 I am looking for a light weight wireless headphone. I only use headphone when I'm playing games while voice chatting or playing PVP FPS like overwatch. I am currently using logitech G633 for a while now, not really satisfy with it, I feel it is too heavy as especially during many hours of gaming. And when I adjust or move the headphone, it will create those annoying squeaky plastic noise which will be picked up by the mic. Speaking of picking up unwanted noise, the noise canceling is poor, on top of those squeaky plastic noise, it will also pick up noise from the background. Wireless is not a must, but I tends to favor it if it doesn't sacrifice much quality compared to wired headphones. I used to complain to one of my friend about his background sound because he his computer is in the living room, so I brought one him a HyberX Cloud as a birthday present and the mic is crisp and the noise cancellation is great. I'm wondering if the wireless version is any good. Any comment and recommendation will be greatly appreciated. I am open to all suggestion, thanks!

Posted April 26, 2018 Not sure why but you dont see much in the way of marketing but I have the LucidSound LS40s and it is by far the most comfortable headset I've ever owned (Kingston Hyper X Cloud II, Turtle Beach somethings, Skarkoon Xstatic Pro, Fancy Sony headset). Honestly I'd say the LS30s are probably the better buy seeing as so few cards do DTS or Dolby Digital Live encoding. They are built very solid as well EDIT: Oh and the best reason to get them.... they show up as 2 different audio devices (Gaming device and chat device) and you control the volume of each using each of the ear cups (you turn the ear cup). By far and away my favourite thing about them as it makes it super easy to adjust volumes on the fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reviews I saw are great, however it is unfortunately I can't get those at where I live. I can still get it via online if I really wanted it. Is a great suggestion, thank you very much.

Posted April 26, 2018 Haha yeah that first sentence is a mess. Sorry about that I started writing it, got interrupted, then started writing it again so its just a jumbled mess. Basically what i meant is that I'm not sure why there isnt much in the way of marketing for LucidSound products. And yes finding them is unfortunately the hardest part. Probably related to the marketing issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
