The fall and holiday season is approaching for gaming, and you might be finding yourself in need of something more. Maybe a new controller to spice things up? Perhaps your headset is out of date, or you're looking for something wireless? Look no further!
Introducing the LS35X from Lucid Sound. Our own Jez Corden reviewed it back in 2018. It still remains our top headset recommendation for Xbox gamers as of 2023. A few years after launch, the LucidSound LS35X is still our go-to recommendation for the vast majority of Xbox gamers due to its comfort, price, general quality, and ease of use. It really is the headset to get.

As Jez Corden puts it, "The LS35X nails design so succinctly, it's hard to find anything to complain about. Utilizing dark materials throughout, the LS35X sports a familiar design for anyone following LucidSound's design conventions over the years. Metal connectors give a sense of robustness missing from all-plastic competitors, and the on-ear dials and controls are intuitive and responsive, giving you access to volume, power, and sound mix at your fingertips."
At $47, this is an absolute steal, especially given the enormous discount. Having used wired headsets for as long as I can remember, I've been looking for a wireless one to have a more relaxing experience. I know I'm picking one up for myself and my wife as soon as she tells me it's okay!
