LS30s arrived today. Very elegant and functional design. By far the best controls of anything I've tested so far. Sound is well balanced, non-fatiguing with sensible EQ presets (the bass boosted one sounds best for games so far).
On the downside, there's no surround sound and the earcups are a little snug for my liking, although well padded. No sign of the dreaded 'hot ear' yet so hopefully they'll be ok. There's a little bit of white noise at high volumes. It's very unobtrusive with the mic muted but more noticeable using the built in mic. Haven't tested the detachable boom mic yet.
