I received product/compensation in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
As my sons have gotten older, they have started playing less and less with their friends at our house and more now over chat. I do make sure they only friend actual people they know and they never give out any inappropriate information – this is super important to emphasize to your kids.
As far as headsets go, we have been through a lot in the past 3-4 years my sons have been gaming. From different video game systems to gaming on their PCs, I feel like I am constantly looking at headsets.
LucidSound is a company I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of before but they make some pretty awesome headsets. I got the LucidSound LS1X and it is perfect for my son’s needs right now.
First off before you get a headset, do your research and ask questions. Ask your gamer, what device they want the headset for and what features they want/need.
Here are 8 reasons to check out the LucidSound LS1X Premium Chat Headset:
It is super affordable at just under $25! This is great for when you need to buy multiple headsets like in my case where I have two gamers.
It is available for multiple systems so you don’t have to buy a new one for a different system – Xbox One, PC, Mobile, PS4, Xbox Next-Gen Compatible.
Open Back Design on the earcup means it doesn’t interfere with external game audio from your TV or surround system.
Quickly turn the volume up/down with the on-earcup volume wheel. Press the center button to mute and unmute the mic.
There is a Mic Mute Indicator LED that visually lets you know by turning red that it is muted. I have made the mistake of thinking I was on mute before on my phone so this is nice that it lights up red.
Lightweight and not bulky. It is also small enough that it can be stored away easily.
It also only covers one ear which is nice so your gamer is not totally cut off from their surroundings and can still hear you yell that dinner is ready!
Just because its a cheaper priced headset, I don’t feel like I notice a difference in sound quality which is nice to not have to sacrifice.
So next time your gamer asks for a headset or maybe they are new to the gaming world, LucidSound is definitely a brand to check out.

This sounds great! I don’t game, but my husband is an avid gamer, so I’ll pass along the recommendation.
