Most “gaming headsets” are terrible for music. The Audeze LCD-GX is the exception: it’s a high-end audiophile headphone that happens to have a microphone attached.
The Experience
Powered by Audeze’s massive planar magnetic drivers, the sound is visceral and detailed. You will hear footsteps and environmental cues with pinpoint accuracy, but when you switch to music, you get the full, rich Audeze sound.
Is It Worth the Price?
If you are both a serious gamer and a music lover, yes. It eliminates the need to own two pairs of headphones. Just make sure you have a powerful amp to run them properly.
