Poor design
These headsets feel good and was able to update the headset, but 30 minutes of opening the box the side of the headphones cracked. Returned these for Astro A40s

Great sound, good build
Nicely packaged. Sound great and feel just and good. Comfortable for hours. I wear them while gaming or watching content. Dolby Atmos compatible. Only knock is I wish they were wireless with other devices other than Xbox. And out of the box they had a issue where the headphones would desync and lose sound for a few seconds. LucidSound came with a patch/update that you can easily access and download from their website. If not for that would've given the product 5 stars

Best value in totally wireless Xbox headsets
I bought Turtle Beach headsets for many years - there aren't very many options for totally wireless Xbox headsets, and Turtle Beach made top-notch stuff back in the day. Then Turtle Beach started a death spiral in quality, and I went through a few years paying $200 to $350 for their sub-sound-quality, flimsy plastic sets that would inevitably snap an earpiece off just tossing them on the couch. I finally had enough, and swore them off forever -- and I didn't care if I had to spend $500+ for one of those super-high-end sets. But then I came across these LucidSounds, and at that price had to give them a try. And in 6 months, they've been GREAT - better than any of the last 3 paid over $200 for. All metal frame is stout but lightweight, and earphones are comfortable even when wearing glasses for hours of continuous gaming. Battery will last through a whole weekend of gaming without recharging. Audio is superb (and I never turn the volume all the way up because that's too loud), and mic is great also. And speaking of the mic, one of my favorite features is that when you mute the mic (which you do by just pressing your right earpiece), there's red led light on the end of the mic that indicates it's muted. It isn't so bright that it's distracting while gaming, but it's noticeable - so you don't have those talking-to-nobody-for-15-minutes-because-my-mic-is-muted-and-I-didn't-know moments. The only con, if I had to name one, would be the chat/game volume mixer - the outer ring of the right earpiece is a dial that you turn to adjust the mix (the one on the left earpiece handles master volume) - and although the dial has 180 degrees of rotation, like 10 degrees in the middle is where most of the mix change takes place. So you have to tweak it in tiny little increments to get it just right. That said, once it's right, it doesn't fluctuate or change on its own, so you only need to mess with it if you or your friend/kid/whoever turned the dial and changed it. And even then, its not a huge deal - tweak it a few times over a minute or two in the first match, and you're good again. And at this price, with the quality of the headset is all other aspects, it seems silly to even mention it -- especially considering the other garbage headsets that exist out there at $200 - $400.

Best headset I have owned until it fell apart
Bought this primarily for use with Xbox One, but also used it with my laptop (had to get a Windows 10 Xbox One USB adapter). Worked like a charm. Easy to setup. Sound quality is superb. Detachable boom mic was convenient since it can be moved out of the way without dealing with a retracting cord. The volume wheels are excellent. The headband is extremely comfortable, as are the circumaural cups. Reproduces lows, mids, and highs very well for a headset. Since I was using it with my laptop, I put it in a Boulder Cases heavy-duty foam-lined equipment case for transport. After a couple of months, the plastic connecting the headband to the ear cups began to crack, and quickly led to shorting in the wires that run through the plastic. This did not last long before the headset became completely unusable. The transport case is not exactly flimsy and I was not casually tossing the case around, so I was surprised at the quality degradation of the headset. Long story short, if you are not planning on transporting this headset (e.g., using it at a consistent location) and want something that pairs seamlessly with your Xbox, is unbelievably comfortable, and produces good sound this is a great bet. If you plan to take it with you, I am not sure I would recommend it.

Solid, quality wireless headset for a xbox console
Easy to use. Quality build. Comfortable and sound is solid. Only issue is sometimes when sound stops transmitting from the xbox you get a bit of static through the headset but it goes away one the sound starts back up.
