Logitech G930 Wireless Gaming Headset

I have a friend who has used this headset for about 3 years now I believe and so I was convinced to purchase one for myself when my old headset gave out. I've used it for over a week now and I really love this headset. A quick look at what I use it for; gaming (mmo's, various Steam games), listening to music, watching movies, chatting on Skype. Below is a little more information on my opinion of the G930. I'll outline a few pros and cons for those of you still on the fence: Pros: Comfort: Headset is light enough that once you wear it for a while you begin to forget it's there. Does not touch my ears except for the slightest feather touch on the very edges, just enough to realize you're wearing a headset until you're distracted by something. Good adjustment options to move and shape to fit your head. Noise cancelling is very good, all noises are well muffled by headset design and helps, especially in gaming, to achieve that immersion into the world you're playing in. Ease of use: Only took a minute of reading the quick start guide to understand the features and what the light indicators mean; the Logitech Gaming Software isn't too hefty a program and it's handy to use to tell you just how long your battery has and for programming your headset. Roll button for volume on the headset left side is genius, easy to to quickly change volume. Performance: Sound is fantastic, the surround sound demo on the Logitech Gaming Software scared the daylights out of me with its realistic sounds; this headset is only limited by the quality of the input it receives. The bass actually sounds like bass too, which is another plus. Mic sounds great, keystrokes are muffled but voice comes through crystal clear even without adding background noise cancellation. Cons: Auto-shutoff: This was going to be the thing that knocked a couple stars off my rating, but my friend gave me a tip about how to fix it and it's been a lifesaver. The problem is that the auto-shutoff only allows the headset to stay on for maybe 15 to 20 minutes at a time. It seems to be quite determined to shut itself off whether you like it or not, no matter what you're doing. This was very annoying straight off, as I would have to scramble to find the small button to press and hold slightly to turn the headset back on, and in the mean time I was missing something. The fix I spoke of requires a bit more than the average computer user will do in their normal interaction with a computer, but it was simple enough and fixed the problem. Now, if the headset does decide to shut off, it comes right back on again; occasionally not even shutting off at all. Not enough to knock off a star since there is a fix, but certainly a frustrating con as a new owner. Battery Life: I wish this could be a pro, but it's a con because although the headset does run on battery for a good long while, I do find myself somewhat confused at the inconsistencies I've noticed. While the Logitech Gaming Software does give relatively accurate battery usage in real time, right now, as I write this, my has gone from 10 hours remaining, to 8 hours remaining, and it has only been 15 minutes. Now, this could be due to the fact that it was not fully charged to begin with, however, I do find that a bit odd. I have, however, used it for quite a few hours before it alerted me it needed to be charged, so all in all I really can't complain too much. Charging: This is more of a pet peeve, but for some reason I have a real whale of a time getting the charger cord plugged into the headset to charge it. I fumble and fuss, usually taking the headset off my head and glaring at the cord trying to figure out which way it goes in, since it only plugs in one way. Occasionally the planets align perfectly at just the right moment and I pop the cord in without batting an eye (or taking off the headset), thankfully it's become slightly easier now that I'm getting the hang of it. Honestly I can't think of anything else that I would consider a con. I really love this headset and I hope to have it for years to come, just like my friend has. If you're still not sure, it's not terribly expensive, and I promise if you're using a wired headset that you're going to love going wireless, and the sound is fantastic!

Here's the skinny: In May, 2011, my wife decided to vacuum up the cord to my Sennheiser headset and then removed the cord by yanking on the vacuum. A few days later these arrived. It is now October, 2015, and I've decided they're too broken to use. The positives: Amazing sound. Having played CS:GO for a while with these (and previously other surround headsets with CS 1.6/CS:Source) I can say that these headset replicate audio very well and allow precise positioning. I've never been unhappy with the usage of the headphones. The wireless functionality is fantastic, I've never had issues with range, but I wouldn't consider myself a heavy roamer. The few times I've had to get up and go to the bathroom while waiting for a Heroes of the Storm match I've been able to tell when the match starts. The negatives: Even though it's a Logitech product, the durability is a big issue. A 12-18 months ago the mini-USB port inside the headphones that the charging cable plugs into basically lost its solder and came off the circuit board. This made it impossible to charge the headphones. I modified it by purchasing a female to male USB extension cable. I modified the headphones by cutting directly into the battery cables and soldering the female half of the extension cable. I drilled a hole and the female end protrudes from the headphones by an inch. I cut the male mini-USB connector from the charging cable and patched on the male half of the USB extension cable. Performing this modification made it so the headphones can't tell their charge level, but hey, they worked! If they ever died I just plugged em in and kept going. Within the last six months the plastic area around the 4 screws where the headband attachs to the right ear cup has cracked, then broken, causing the cup to dangle. For several months I was able to actually wear them by pushing the cup into the band and placing on my head. While on my head, it wore as normal, but when removed the cup would again fall out and dangle by the cable. In the last few days this area has broken further, causing it to dangle and fall out even while wearing. It's basically unusable on the right ear. I have also noticed the covering over the ear cup pads to be flaking and coming off. EVEN WITH ALL OF THOSE PROBLEMS, I still rate these as 5 stars because they are the best I've ever owned. I mean they are 4 1/2 years old, which is longer than most other headphones I've had lasted, and they've been better quality and more enjoyable for usage day to day. Plus, that's 4 1/2 years of heavy geek gamer level wear, putting them on and taking them off several times a day. I'm looking at other cheaper alternatives now that I have 3 kids under 2 years old, but man I'm tempted to just get another pair of these and call it a day for 4-5 more years. Plus I still have an extra battery and charger. PLUS I know how to repair it already. If I do get them again, I'll make sure to reinforce the joint heavily and mount something to the wall to hang them on.

Allgemeine Beschreibung: Dieses gute Stück schlägt auch seine Konkurrenten sehr gut. Es sitzt sehr gut auf dem Kopf und schließt die Ohrmuschel komplett ein, daher sind Geräusche von Außen nicht zu hören. Das Produkt verfügt über wireless (kabellose) Verbindung und wird mittels Kabel (USB auf Micro-USB) geladen. Dabei besteht das Kabel aus einer Rolle, welche sehr handlich und praktisch ist wenn man verreist, da beide Kabelenden aufgerollt und mit den Zäpfen auf der Rolle festgehalten werden. In die Rolle integriert ist auch nochmals ein USB-Anschluss, daher kann man auch die Kopfhörer laden und gleichzeit verwenden wenn man jetzt mal am Platz sitzt. Das Mikrofon des Headsets ist nach oben klappbar und geht automatisch in eine Mute-Funktion (stumm) wenn es nach oben geklappt wurde. Sollte man nicht der Freund des hochklappens sein, so kann man auch die Mute-Taste auf der Seite des Headsets verwenden. Bei den seitlichen Tasten des Headsets gibt es einen Lautstärkeregler und 3 frei programmierbare Funktionstasten. Auf der Hinterseite des linken Hörers befindet sich der Ein- und Ausschalt und der Stereo - Surround Knopf. ###Hinweis: Um die volle Funktion nutzen zu können, muss man auf die Logitech Webseite gehen und den Treiber herunterladen.### Erfahrungswerte: Ich, Freunde und Bekannte haben bis jetzt nur gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Ich persönlich verwendet dieses Headset seit über 2 Jahren und habe bis jetzt noch keine Probleme feststellen können, selbst die Akkulaufzeit ist gleich geblieben. Daher habe ich dieses Produkt Freunden, Freund und meinen Neffen empfohlen und auch über Amazon gekauft. Daher lässt sich auch folgendes sagen: "Funktioniert das Headset auch bei mehreren Anwendern und Anwenderinnen?" - Ja tut es, unsere Konstellation war, 4 Personen in einem Raum mit dem gleichen Headset. "Kann ich das Headset für die Playstation 4 (PS4) verwenden?" - Ja ich habe mit dem Headset auch schon über den Playstation 4 Chat geredet und auch Spiele über die Kopfhörer gehört. "Wie gut ist der Empfang oder wann bricht dieser ab?" - Das Headset funktioniert auf ca. 20m, dabei ist auch zu sagen, es funktioniert sogar durch Wände, auch stockwerksübergreifend, ich hatte im Keller das Notebook mit Musik laufen und konnte im EG noch immer die Musik über die Kopfhörer hören. Als Tipp kann ich nur sagen, es hängt auch immer auf die Dicke und die Abschirmung in den Wänden ab. "Muss man Sourround hören?" - Nein muss man nicht, man kann je nach blieben die Funktion am Headset direkt ein- und ausschalten. "Wie ist der Klang?" - Der Klang ist sehr klar und deutlich, auch wenn die Audiofiles nicht die beste Qualität haben, hört man mit diesen Kopfhörern sehr gut gespielte Klänge am Schlagzeug, Gitarre, Bässe usw.. "Bekommt man Ohrenschmerzen von der Halterung?" - Nein bekommt man nicht, ich habe das Headset auch schon über 8 Stunden am Stück getragen und hatte danach keine Probleme mit den Ohren, so wie ich es von meinem alten Headset gewohnt war. "Sind andere Produkte besser?" - Da ich nur ein paar Produkte hatte kann ich nur dazu sagen, dass ich mit diesem Produkt keine Probleme mehr habe wie bei den anderen Headsetanbietern, da es kabellos ist, einen sehr guten und qualitativen Sound liefert und, dass es für diesen Preis sehr empfehlendswert ist und man nicht 200 € ausgeben muss nur weil ein bestimmter Name bzw. ein bestimmtes Logo auf dem Produkt abgebildet ist. Bewertung: + sehr guter Klang + keine Ohrenschmerzen + gut abgeschirmt + Surround Sound funktioniert einwandfrei + Umstellbar auf Stereo + einfaches Aufklappen für die Mute-Funktion + 3 Multifunktionstasten (z.B. Musik Pause, weiter, zurück) + sehr gute Reichweite + auch durch Wände nutzbar + stundenlanges Tragen möglich + Laden auch während der Benutzung möglich + Empfänger kann in die Rolle für das Ladekabel gesteckt werden + Kabel kann einfach und kompakt zusammengerollt werden in die Halterung + sehr gut für den Transport geeignet + Profile möglich + auch für Playstation 4 verwendbar

The Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 is a very nice headset with no wires that suffers from no noticeable lag and works for everything from gaming to watching movies. The G930 isn't cheap, but the good stuff rarely is.

So I've been looking for a replacement headset for some time, I love the G930s as they're comfortable, reliable, have fantastic surround sound and most importantly, are wireless. I ordered these on 16th of August, at half the price of other refurb units, the only downside was the expected delivery date was 16th September, a very long wait, but I'd put up with my spare headset for a few weeks already, what was a few more. On 19th August I had a knock on my door, thinking it was my house mate having locked himself out again, I trundled downstairs in my dressing gown to look bleary-eyed at a postman. "Package for Tom . . ." clearly he was as shocked by my hairy, pale ankles as I was by his presence. He handed over a large brown paper package with my name on the front of it. Given I'd ordered some spare ear pads (as I spend a lot of time wearing my headsets), I expected to open the package and find them. Cue my giddy surprise. A gleaming, black pair of G930s restored to nigh on immaculate condition. Almost unable to contain my surprise, I swiftly plugged them in back at my PC and was transported into long lost territory with glorious surround sound, a built-in micro phone and most importantly (given my house mate) a high degree of noise cancellation.

I really love my G930. The other reviews are accurate. My experience with the range is about 30-50 feet before it starts cutting out. Batterly life is about 8 hours fully charged, and it takes about 3 hours to charge. YOU DONT NEED THE SOFTWARE. I actually used my first pair of these for almost 2 years without installing the software that came with. I now have 2 of these headsets and i swap them out when the battery runs down. Yes, I will use them for 8+ hours straight, almost every day. You can literally go to the bathroom while being on skype/gaming. If you're playing league of legends and you're in champion select, you can go to the bathroom and hear when the game is starting so you don't miss anything. The mic boom auto-mutes the mic when you flip it up. So if your girlfriend comes over and wants to talk, just flip up the boom so your friends don't hear you. This is an amazingly underrated feature. Sound quality is as good as anything else on the market, mic is great. OK so the only fault i would say is durability of construction. It's made of plastic so if you drop it a bunch on hardwood floor, it will eventually break -- especially the mic boom. So basically, don't drop them too much. Also the sound effects are gimmicky and you'll get tired of them after about 10 mins (except the darth vader one). But you seriously aren't buying them for the sound effects.

Un 10 de cascos para el pc el sonido es increible y tiene 7.1 por software la pega es cuando se usa en ps4 se oye superflojo y no se puede casi ni jugar con ellos
