CONCLUSION

   With the Lavi S LUXA2 gives consumers out there the ability to switch between the two internal stereo drivers and the two external ones whenever they feel like it and i have to admit that i liked the whole concept from the moment we heard about the Lavi S. Unfortunately the very first sample we got was an early sample so we did encounter some audio distortion with the external drivers at maximum volume something which didn't happen with the 2nd sample we got later on. Certainly you can't expect massive volume levels from the two 40mm drivers placed on the exterior of the two earcups but sound is enough to fill a room and aside the lack of serious bass audio was surprisingly clear and accurate with good mids and highs. Personally i think that the internal 40mm drivers perform even better since mids and highs remain just as good but they also offer richer bass levels. The materials used for the headset are quite good (almost on par with those of the REVO wireless) and both the ear and head cushions although relatively small are quite comfortable. As for the microphone again nothing to be excited over since it produced similar results as with 90% of the wireless headsets out there while in terms of battery life at almost maximum volume we never went over 19 hours in headset mode and 2 hours and 15 minutes in speaker mode. Also as stated earlier in the review we were unable to pair our smartphones with the headset switched to speaker mode so do remember to pair it in headset mode and then switch to speaker mode.

   As I type these lines the Lavi S Over-Ear Wireless Headphone with External Speaker by LUXA2 retails for just USD56.35 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 55.89Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de). True there are other wireless headsets in the market at around the same price point with similar audio and build quality but none of them also offers a built-in stereo speaker and that’s the strong selling point of the Lavi S and also why it receives our Golden Award.
