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

Product Information

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. Pro 2) Affordable Price Range: Logitech’s lineup is worth considering if you’re looking for the best-sounding wireless headset at a reasonable price. Even some of the cheapest Logitech headsets out there provide decent sound quality and the usual wireless range. 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. Compared to older gaming headsets, the newest models from Logitech offer more versatile connection options and more sophisticated audio technology. With Logitech’s acquisition of the Blue Mic brand and its recent partnerships with Oculus and Playstation, Logitech has made considerable strides in delivering professional audio quality for gamers. How Long Will a Logitech Headset Last? 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.

The Logitech G Pro X gaming headset features high-quality 50mm drivers that deliver astounding audio. Featuring Gen 7.1 surround sound, this device delivers spatial sounds suitable for movie watching and gaming. It has soft memory foam cushions and a leatherette headband to provide comfort. This model features a 3.5mm plug, offering compatibility with computers, consoles, and mobile devices. It comes with a 6.6-foot cable for PC and a 5-foot cable for mobile devices. However, adjusting settings via the G Hub software can prove complicated. 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.

How does the microphone sound?

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. 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. 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. The comfort of the G430’s was great in short and long sitdowns with the headset on. This wasn’t a big surprise considering how comfortable their past headsets have been as well. The earcup design fits perfectly around my ears without putting any pressure on my ears. Typically that pressure is what causes discomfort for me over time. This is why I normally prefer over the ear designs over smaller headsets that press on your ears. Although I prefer floating top bands for their comfort, the padded top band on the G430 did a good job of keeping the pressure off of the top of my head. The mesh earcup design did help a little with keeping my ears from getting warm, but I still had to pull a cup off my ear for a little while when doing heavy gaming. Overall I would still prefer leather earcups for their softness but the mesh design isn’t bad as well. 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.

Update 06/13/2019: We had previously listed the PS4 to fully support audio and microphone. However, we tested this via USB rather than with the 1/8" connectors with a controller. Since they don't come with an adapter, you can only plug the 1/8" audio cable of the G430 into controllers. The score and text have been updated accordingly.When doing through our mix of test music that ranges from classical to rap and even a little Eric Clapton I found myself impressed over and over with the G430’s. I’m not going to say that they would replace a high end pair of headphones designed specifically for music, but they did hold their own, something that a lot of gaming headsets don’t do. Where the G430’s really shined though was in game. Their directionality was great and this really came in handy in first person shooters. Highs were crisp, making it easier to hear gunshots but with the extra bass you will still get the full experience as well. 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.
