LucidSound LS500 Wireless Gaming Headset - Sunrise Paradise

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compatible with PS5 and can be wireless which works well so I can move around in between games. They are very comfortable and don't hurt my ears and are very lightweight. Setup was very easy. I recommend them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I primarily game at night after my husband goes to bed so headphones are a must. I've used a couple different styles from regular ear buds to some over the ear models like these but it's been hard to find the right fit. Some are finicky connecting, others have middling sound, it's been hard to find the sweet spot between quality, comfort and price. I'm not going to say this headset is life changing, but for what I'd consider a budget option once you graduate from plugging whatever you have laying around into the controller and calling it a day, these are pretty solid. I am a huge fan of how smooth the connection process was with the dongle. Trying to pair things to my tv and working around the soundbar is sometimes a huge pain with other Bluetooth options. This was a lot easier and paired without any having to pair, forget, re-pair, repeat until my tv finally figured out what I wanted. I think the sound quality is pretty good. It's not going to hold up against more expensive models geared towards audio files but notably clearer than my cheaper ones. I did like that it has three different sound modes that are easy to cycle through by clicking the right ear. I can't tell a ton of difference, but it's nice to have options and FPS mode is a nice touch when I'm trying to pick up on subtler audio clues that get lost in my other headphones. They're reasonably light and comfortable to wear. My ears aren't sore after a longer session and I don't have to worry about earbuds falling out when I move my head or walk around. The mic is fine, nothing super great but functional. I do like the auto mute when you flip it up, makes it easy to switch it on and off without remembering where to click or what sequence of actions. The controls are a small learning curve. Nothing is that complicated but it took a couple sessions for me to remember to triple click to change the audio mode and what not. Adjusting the volume by turning the left cup has been a quality of life upgrade for me. Having to use the remove or click a button is a little annoying and I feel like I get good control over the level with turning the knob. This probably isn't for the super serious gamer but if you want a good all around option at a reasonable price, I'm happy with what it offers.
