FINAL THOUGHTS
LucidSound’s brand-new LS35X Rose Gold Wireless Surround Sound Gaming Headset for the Xbox One can easily compete with any of the other available Direct Connect Wireless Headsets for the Xbox One( the Turtle Beach Stealth 600, the Turtle Beach Stealth 700, and the Razer Thresher Wireless Headset).
Originally, the LucidSound LS35X Wireless Gaming Headset (the first model – Full Black, not the Rose Gold) was supposed to be released during December, 2017, but it faced a series of delays and ultimately wasn’t released until last year’s early October (2018).
While all of the other mentioned headsets were released during the year of 2017, LucidSound assured its customers during the unexpected delays that the wait would be worth it. Considering everything that the headset has to offer, the company was definitely right.
LucidSound’s brand-new LS35X Rose Gold Wireless Surround Sound Gaming Headset is one of the best Direct Connect Wireless Headsets for the Xbox One currently available. It features a simple and sleek design, it’s lightweight and comfortable, and offers its users LucidSound’s proprietary quick-access audio adjustments. This is simply one the best headsets ever made by LucidSound (if not the best).
