The Lucid Sound LS 20 Review: Unboxing and Hands-On Experience
As I carefully unboxed the Lucid Sound LS 20, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and curiosity. The device itself is small and compact, with a sleek design that suggests it's meant for portability and convenience. As I began to examine the headset more closely, I noticed that it came equipped with several small plastic key bits, some ears, and additional components.
I found that these key bits were actually quite interesting, as they seemed to be designed for adjusting the headset's fit and functionality. Some of them had little labels on them, indicating their purpose - such as "L" or "R", which likely corresponded to specific ear cushions or other components. I also noticed that some of the parts were just bare plastic, with no discernible function.
As I continued to explore the headset, I discovered a small headphone jack on one side, which seemed to be the only visible connection point for external devices. I wondered if this would allow me to connect my smartphone or other audio sources, and whether it would be compatible with various devices. It's worth noting that I eventually read the instructions to learn more about how to use the headset properly.
The Lucid Sound LS 20 comes with a few adjustable features, including one of the ear cushions, which allowed me to customize the fit for my head. I also noticed that the headset had a bit of "click" to it when I turned it around - likely corresponding to the play/pause button or volume controls. The sound quality was surprisingly clear and crisp, with good bass response and decent treble clarity.
As I continued to experiment with the headset, I discovered that it had some limitations - particularly in terms of its lack of adjustability and ergonomic design. While the adjustable ear cushion was a nice touch, I found that the headset could be a bit stiff and uncomfortable to wear for extended periods. Nevertheless, this may not be a major issue for users who plan to use the headset primarily for gaming or music listening.
One thing that really stood out about the Lucid Sound LS 20 was its affordability - at an entry-level price point, it seemed like a steal compared to other high-quality gaming headsets on the market. Of course, this may also be a double-edged sword - if I were to lose or damage the headset, I wouldn't be too disappointed. Nevertheless, as a review of this device is likely to involve putting it through its paces and pushing its limits, I'll have to see how it holds up over time.
In terms of usage scenarios, I found that the Lucid Sound LS 20 was particularly well-suited for use with mobile devices or gaming consoles. The headset's portability and affordability made it an attractive option for casual gamers or music listeners on-the-go - but whether it would be suitable for more demanding applications like professional recording or mixing remains to be seen.
As I continued to explore the Lucid Sound LS 20, I began to wonder about its potential strengths and weaknesses in comparison to other gaming headsets on the market. While it's difficult to make definitive judgments without further testing, one thing that stood out was the headset's overall value proposition - particularly at its entry-level price point.
I'll have to wait until my next video review to provide a more detailed analysis of the Lucid Sound LS 20 and compare it to other gaming headsets in various categories. For now, I'm just going to wrap up this unboxing and hands-on experience and leave you with some parting thoughts - will this affordable headset deliver on its promises? Stay tuned for my full review to find out!
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello there everybody this is me Jorge Varela from the button smashers comm you can't actually see my face I'm up here hey hey how's it going and so um welcome to an unboxing video right now this is actually one of the first unboxings that I do for this site usually I'm doing game reviews and stuff like that but I'm actually going to be reviewing this little box right here it is the Lucid sound if I remember correctly the ls 2003 some sort of universal gaming focus headset it even has like a little a little microphone and stuff and your really cool looking little like wheels and buttons and stuff and all of it I actually I'm not entirely sure how it works because um I wanted to actually show you these headphones because these are the ones that I use for pretty much everything them for games for recording in my daily life they're Sony branded but they because like 20 bucks out at Walmart they're fairly cheap but you know this is all I got because I can't really afford like a $100 headset like the one that got sent to me for review right now so I'm pretty fortunate but you know we got to put in the work right we got to figure out how this thing holds up to the previous headsets that we have received if you want to look at other unboxings that we've done of previous headsets you can definitely go to our YouTube channel for the button smashers and you'll see more stuff and you can also go to the button master comm you can see our review of you know previous headsets like this one and so we're gonna go ahead and unbox this but of course I want to give a little bit of shout out to lucid sound who gave me you know when I showed up at home today I got this big box and inside it we had this little note and we had the box of course and it says stuff like dear Jorge we're here eluted what am i doing I can't read we here at lucid sound are thrilled thrilled thrilled what is wrong with me today we are thrilled that you are interested in reviewing our latest headsets the LS 20 lucid sound was founded in 2014 yadda yadda yadda I was a history and stuff we wanted to create a gaming headset the gamers would be just as comfortable wearing outside as they are in the living room we hope do you find the like you have any questions you can talk to so there we go that's a nice little little note here and so this is separate along here we also have a document that has like you know bullet points and information about the headset and everything that I got to know and this will definitely be useful for when I write my review so that I know what I'm supposed to expect out of something like this because again I want to reiterate I am pretty much I've never used like an advanced gaming focused headset I've always used like the cheaper ones that I just showed you so I'm gonna go ahead and unbox this and I really don't know what the hell to expect I should actually I should probably keep the document with me so that I know what's actually in this box you also have a little list here showing off everything actually in the box itself it gives you some information of what what it has you know so here it says the package content system compatibility is compatible with ps4 Xbox one PC and Mobile so pretty much everything that is current gen I'm assuming that it does work with ps3 and xbox and all that kind of stuff if you're like me and you have a television with a headphone jack then you probably have an extension cable that goes to either your sofa or your desk like me and you can just plug in the headset right here and I'm assuming it won't work I mean if it says Universal then it has to work with a television at least right I mean it only seems logical especially if we're gonna add in mobile devices into the picture so there we go let's just go ahead and open this up this opens up very nice and smooth and there we go look at that beautiful thing I feel like I'm in an infomercial like look at the beautiful product Margaret Oh beautiful so we have this little thing which is the instruction manual of course or the user guide that's pretty much what it says right there I apologize for my coughing by the way I've been sick for a while but I'm getting better right now I just have a bit of a a bit of a sore throat you got a little a little sticker here if you want to put it on your car show off you know who has the better headset or whatever you have some instructions here you have a little manual teaching you how to so yeah it's talking to you about all the buttons here it has like a like a power mode LED I do is be charging ports Mike okay so I'll print yeah you know you can tell that I don't know anything about this because I'm like what you got a charge it what but you know of course this is just an unboxing this is not like a review or anything I'm just here kind of giving you my first impressions of all of this and then later on off camera I'm going to be experimenting and reading up on all this and really using it and then I'll use this I will record a separate video where I will be experimenting with this headset on a variety of different places I have my phone right here at least I think I do yeah so I have everything it says that it can use portable stuff right so I have my PlayStation Vita right here I have my iPhone and I have my 3ds and so I'm going to be using this headset on all three of these things on this sandwich or portability and on top of that I have a PlayStation 4 over there and a PlayStation VR so let's see how the 3d are do you know holds up with this little baby so when we go over here you will see that you have the power cables you have a USB connection um I'm imagining that this is all that you need to actually make about the headset run and work so yeah there you go you have this connection oh this is the what I can only assume is the microphone so I'm assuming that you plug this in to the headset and you know like you can you can talk like this I'm gonna feel like some sort of secretary or something in an office I'm gonna be like yes hello like and I can I take your call please hold and then I never I never call back so there we go I'm just gonna put this to the side oh you also have like these little little like little small things here in the back that I forgot to mention so inside the bag you have these little there's a little like rubber rubber feet here I don't know what these are for maybe these go on with with the headset or something like that now I'm Charlie show where these are but of course that's what the instructions are for so that I know what they're for later so there we go I'm just right now I'm just showing you what's in the box and of course the main attraction right here there we go no no pesky wires like like the other one that had like you know wires all over and I was struggling with it I had like a spaghetti dish of just wires and stuff but this is like full-on metal I don't think there's anything else here that I can look for right yeah look at that it's totally empty it's just it's just that well it looks cool it looks nice and sleek and protected kind of reminds me of the PlayStation VR box and the way that it opens up and almost like a like a clamshell kind of way so there we go nice-looking box go cool really neat design everything is very clear the instructions are there and you know it shows you all what's compatible with you know what's inside the box and stuff and yeah just overall a nice sturdy little thing that you know I enjoy it open opening this up because it was so easy to do but anyway of course you got you know the sticker a little what is this attention do now return this product to the store here do Knox a big giant red a warning so it's like you know warranty you know right stuff or whatever there's a weird legal legal stuff I'm definitely gonna keep this one if you are the kind of person like myself that has never used a gaming focused peace cannot be see a headset then I highly recommend that you keep the instructions because I'm sure there's going to be a lot of stuff that you're not gonna get you know like you know here's how you plug in the Xbox controller sorry plug in the ps4 one because they're going into it with the idea that you know you're gonna take what's my ps4 controller oh well like just imagine that they know that this is no God oh well I'm just screwing it all up or not they're going into it fully with the idea that you're going to take you know this this headset right here and plug it in over here at the bottom of this controller this is an Xbox 360 controller not an Xbox one controller but you get the idea you know like you you're supposed to plug it in down here and the Sun is supposed to come over here but of course because this is a universal headsets and you know you can apply it to other stuff like light like your phone or on your DS and stuff I don't see how this can stop you from you know plugging it in to a cable like this one where it goes out to the television or you know go into PC so it doesn't matter really if you have a 360 controller like me or not because you can just plug in and I have this 360 controller mostly to play PC games so you can just plug it into your PC and the sound should go in just fine okay so I think that that's pretty much it so you have this so this should be the cable that actually allows you to hear stuff this is the headphone jack this is the mini USB connection to use to charge up your stuff and then you also have the little microphone I'm assuming an extra let's figure out where where all this goes oh yeah so you have the little plastic key bits here some some ears some more stuff here with you know just taking out the plastic some people find it really relaxing sometimes I like to leave it there just you know just so that it's nice and clean and so of course you know you start you know screwing around with it and you'll know that yeah so this one this one right here on my left actually how do I know which one is okay so right here it shows you like a little little a let our little bit I'll let our L and then over here it gives you a little letter or a lot of ours and a little lateral or a little letter R so yeah right here on the left you can actually turn it you can turn it around and and actually it has a little bit of click eNOS to it so I'm assuming that's like the play button the pause button the volume and stuff yeah yeah I totally it has a really nice clicking feel to it and right here on the right on the right as well it has that click eNOS to it you can hear it it there's actually a little bit of clicking there you can do can definitely you can turn the headset like this I don't know why you would do that maybe if you want to like put it away on like a like a briefcase or something like that it twists around like that or you know if you want to be like those artists that you know that they record their songs like this I don't know we're just which is one year I guess I guess that will work but of course you have like little adjustable little things right here so that it fits your head right now it's a little bit you know stiff because there's a brand new thing right but you know I can just put it on like this i justed and there we go I'm whirring it now we can go ahead so I want to know where where I can actually plug this thing in okay so there we go so right here at the bottom you have a bunch of little hole in here and so you know one of these you should be able to there we go so right right there so you got it you got the little microphone and so I can I can wear it and just put it like this maybe I should take this thing out here so I can wear like this and then I just adjust it and there we go I'm talking to people on the internet fighting with little kids in Call of Duty I don't actually see myself using this too much and that just because I like to you know work with you know the microphone that I'm recording with right now you know bigger or more professional microphones I'm gonna have to test this out and see how the Sun quality is because it might you know it might conquer me who knows let's see you also have you know the little headphone jack here and that's it I mean overall you just you know plug all the stuff in like normal use the mini USB to charge it up and turn it on and there we go of course I'm gonna read the instructions so that uh so that you know I know how all of this works and there we go that is the Lucid sound LS 20 to look for my review of this fairly soon I'm going to be showing some footage of different games and you know camera footage of me actually using the thing and describing how everything sounds how it sounds in relation to you know a mobile game and 3ds and a console and PC and you know just seeing what the differences and how it compares to the previous lucid sound headphones and of course how it compares to just a regular ass little you know pair of headphones like these I will probably end up using these for like when I go out and I'm walking because these are really cheap and if they break or whatever I don't care but you know with these ones I'm probably gonna keep these at home for like console stuff and I even use a lot of my portable devices here at home so this will definitely benefit me for the better here rather than taking them out to the dangerous outside world over there I'll use these for now thank you very much so there we go thank you very much for watching this video if
