Logitech G430 Gaming Headset, for PC Gaming, 7.1 Surround Sound Headset with Microphone, Compatible with Mac, PC, Xbox, PS4 - Black/Blue

Product Information

Over-the-ear headsets often show wear on the ear cups and adjustable sliders for the headbands. On models used for frequent marathon gaming sessions, it’s common to see discoloration and fraying after a year or two.

This is not only daunting for newcomers, but also obnoxious for anyone who wants anything more than a baseline aural experience. Bottom Line Con 3) Fewer Noise-Canceling Options: While Logitech gaming headsets generally provide good sound quality and 3D audio features, other brands have more widely-available active noise cancellation and may provide more ambient noise filtering in crowded or loud gaming environments.

What is the Logitech G432 like?

Many of the newer Logitech gaming headsets offer Blue microphones on a detachable mic boom. This feature helps ensure better-sounding conference calls and more accurate audio on voice chat settings. For the same reasons, you might also consider upgrading to a more focused headset for gaming if you make streaming content. The Logitech G633 Artemis Spectrum gaming headset is a gaming-optimized model that delivers crystal-clear sounds. This device supports 7.1 Dolby and DTS surround sound, delivering directional sounds that enhance gameplay. With advanced 40mm Pro-G drivers, this headset enhances in-game sounds. It has onboard equalizer profiles, allowing users to customize the sound as needed. A noise-canceling boom mic with an LED light alerts users when it’s muted. However, the headband is tight on some people. Hear the game the way the developer intended. Dolby 7.1 sound output appears to surround you as if it’s coming from all possible directions. Con 2) Style of Gaming Models May Not Be to Everyone’s Taste: Some users may find that Logitech’s LIGHTSYNC RGB gaming headphone models have too much of a “gamer” aesthetic. However, reviewers generally consider the higher-end Logitech Pro-X and Pro-VR series to have a very attractive design. The Logitech G935 gaming headset is a wireless model that uses 2.4GHz RF for seamless connectivity to computers and other devices. It has an indoor range of up to 50 feet, offering the flexibility needed to move around the room while playing. Featuring oversized 50mm Pro-G drivers, this headset enables users to hear faint gaming sounds to get an edge over the competition. However, this model sometimes loses signal intermittently.

Logitech offers a 2-year limited warranty on most of its gaming headset models. Some attachments and headset accessories, like the Blue Icepop detachable condenser mic, also get 2-year warranty coverage. The warranty covers defects in materials or manufacturing and extends to original OEM firmware but excludes 3rd party software and accessories. Wireless headsets may be limited to the lifetime of their built-in batteries. Overall battery longevity varies somewhat depending on the type of cells used, but experts suggest that a lifespan of 500-1500 charge cycles is a reasonable expectation for current lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. Logitech headsets vary widely in their expected lifespan. Logitech gaming headsets generally last three to five years, depending on the type of headset, the kind of use, and the storage conditions. On-ear headphones last longer than earbuds, and wired headsets tend to last longer than wireless models. There are several reasons you might want to consider buying a Logitech headset. Gamers looking for improved audio clarity on chats and better in-game communication may find it worthwhile to upgrade to one that offers superior microphone quality and good stereo sound. However, if Logitech doesn’t appeal to you, you’ll want to look at our Astro A40 review. The blue earcups match the blue used on the headband of the G430 and really catch your eye. Logitech used a fabric/mesh combination that is soft and breaths more than a leather or faux leather. This is a little different than what they used on the G930, most likely to save on costs slightly, but I’m happy with the material.We've added a small disclaimer to the App Support test which highlights some of the most commonly reported issues users online have encountered with Logitech's G HUB companion software. To prolong the useful life of your gaming headset, store the headset someplace relatively dry and away from extreme heat. A good headset stand can help keep your headset or pair of on-ear gaming headphones safe from accidental drops and beverage spills. Logitech Warranties First and foremost, unlike with Logitech's mice and keyboards, you cannot make individual profiles for games. If you want to craft a rich soundstage for cinematic action games and a focused one for multiplayer shooters, you'll have to manually redo it each time. This is somewhat baffling, since the various options are fairly deep. You can control general bass and treble, or dive in and fine-tune 10 different equalization settings. Add in the surround sound, and you have too many choices to manage without being able to save profiles. Listening to music on the G430 is like using a built-in laptop mic to record a podcast: It works, but there's much better equipment available for the job. While the G430 is light-years ahead of the tinny, indistinct sounds of the SteelSeries Raw Prism, it has a rather dark and dull soundstage.

Logitech markets affordable gaming headset models under the “Logitech G” gaming accessory brand, while offering microphones, over-the-ear headsets, and high-tech headsets via its subsidiaries, Astro Gaming and Blue Microphones. If you have seen the G930 or the G93 you will recognize the overall shape and styling of the G430. Beyond the new G logo and the blue trim on the earcups the shape is the same as their other headsets. Most manufactures go with a round earcup or sometimes a rectangle shape. Logitech’s earcup design is very unique but if you think about the shape of an ear with the ear lobe hanging down their design makes sense. Pro 1) Good Ergonomics: Logitech’s USB headset and wireless headsets offer well-placed audio controls and a comfortable design. Premium models with over-the-ear headphones typically come with a padded headband that helps for long gaming sessions. Most Logitech headphone models include an adjustable headband for different head sizes, which makes them great gaming headsets for big heads. If you do have a larger head, you need to understand headset clamp force to help ensure you have a comfortable headset for your listening/gaming experience. Stay focused on the game, not your headset. G430 ear cups are designed to be slimmer and lighter, without skimping on audio quality. You might forget you’re wearing them. Con 1) Not as Immersive as Some Headsets: With the exception of some specialty models, Logitech’s regular headphones may not provide the same cinematic quality of headset sound as you can get from some other brands, like JBL’s gaming models. Competitors may offer more bass range and more detailed virtual surround sound.The mic worked with perfect clarity when I tested it with my co-workers. However, since the mic does not possess any noise-reduction features, those using it in cacophonous environments may have trouble differentiating their voices from ambient sounds. Software

Logitech is a Swiss computer peripheral hardware company founded in 1981 by Daniel Borel, Giacomo Marini, and Pierluigi Zappacosta. Headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, and with facilities in the city of Vaud and the United States’ Silicon Valley, the company was among the first to create a mass-market computer mouse. The G430’s microphone swings down just like the G930’s headset. The microphone is fairly solid with only a slight amount of flex in it. This can take a little adjustment for someone like me who is used to the flexible microphone booms from companies like SteelSeries.

What should you get instead?

Logitech wireless headsets benefit from the company’s extensive history with Bluetooth-enabled devices. Its wired headsets generally offer good audio quality and stand out for their mic quality. They provide clear voice capture and great sound for phone calls and game chats.
