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

I saw these on sale and thought I'd pick them up and I'm so glad I did as this is the best headset I've ever owned! The audio quality is amazingly crystal clear and the mic sounds perfect compared to my old Turtle Beach headset. I got this headset for my PC and while I own a PS4 I haven't used this headset on my PS4 yet so I can't comment on that although as a PC gaming headset this is the best I've ever owned. It comes with a usb sound card which the mic and audio line plug into which is very, very smart designed as nearly all headsets I've seen and owned just have a usb at the end of the cable and if it ever breaks or you just want to plug your headset into your own soundcard on your PC...Well you can't, so I'm so glad Logitech has designed this headset where you just plug the mic and audio into the usb sound card it's just brilliant design as with all Logitech products from my experience. The mic is very solid and is not removable although you can move it up so it's not in your face when you are not using the mic, which again I really like. There's a clip with a volume up and down scroll wheel on it and a button to turn on and off the mic which is very cool. The cable is very long (unfortunately I don't have anything to measure it with rn but I guesstimate it's about 3m?) the cable is also braided which again scores a lot of points with me as so many headsets I've owned for a similar price tag *cough* TurtleBeach *cough* seem to over look the importance of having a braided cable so well done Logitech, you done good yet again! I use this headset for music, movies, shows and gaming and imo they sound amazing (they didn't at first until I updated the firmware, if you have any issue with mic or sound, update your headsets firmware through the Logitech software!) I've been using these a lot recently for extended periods of time my longest time wearing these was about 5 hours in a long Killing Floor 2 gaming session and honestly at no point did the headset become uncomfortable, I didn't even feel like I was wearing a headset. The ear cups are very big and they go over my ears nicely unlike some headsets where your ear gets squished to the side of your head... Honestly there's nothing I can fault these headphones for, I really love them they look cool, they sound great, they are so comfortable for long gaming sessions or music listening you forget you're wearing a headset. I really like how I can hear my own voice through the headset when I'm talking as I tend to shout when I can't hear myself lol, although if that's not your thing you can easily turn it off no problem. I highly recommend this headset, I'm a big fan there's a lot of thought gone into the design of this headset and it really shows for example the metal instead of plastic on the sliding part of the headset really shows the level of quality that's gone into the design of this headset. I've always bought TurtleBeach headsets and thought they were great but this headset really blows TurtleBeach out of the water, this is why I love Logitech products! TL;DR This headset is good quality, the sound is crystal clear and the mic quality is great, highly recommend 10/10

So I bought this headset for gaming and it did not disappoint. The clarity of sound in games is fantastic and incredibly useful for working out where the sound is coming from. For example when playing Battlefield 4 I could hear every shot fired, from distant sniper fire or close burst of automatic fire I could pinpoint exactly where the shot had come from. This really helps the immersion as you feel every round that whizzes past and every explosion sounds loud and potent. The headset is good quality and constructed well the wire are covered in cloth as opposed to rubber which is nice. the end of the cable splits of into two separate 3.5mm jacks one for the speakers and one for the mic. There is also a usb adapter which you plug the jacks into. If you do not you will not get surround sound and they will function as a pair of stereo headphones. The surround sound is emulated it is achieved by using software which you can download for free off of Logitech's website. It's simple enough to do and the software is easy to use as well. My only complaint is the mic is a bit quiet I have to to really crank up my volume to hear myself in recordings even when raising my voice considerably only helps a little. The headset sound was good for me when not paying games such as listening to youtube videos and music so no problems there but more discerning people might complain it was plenty good enough for my needs. In summary an amazing headset especially for the price only £49.99 by far the cheapest 7.1 surround headset on the market. This is a similar price to most stereo headsets so a definite bargain. Would recommend to anyone looking for a more immersive experience in games or someone just looking for a quality headset on a budget. 5 stars

This headset is a good choice for those who play for long periods of time and do not want to become super uncomfortable. Pros ----- - Comfort: These headphones are nice and comfortable even after prolonged use. The cups and the headband are both covered in a blue mesh with a nice cushion to them. They sit around the ear and are naturally noise cancelling due to completely encompassing the ears. The headphones allow for a decent amount of air circulation while they are in use preventing your ears and head getting uncomfortable. - Cable: The cable is extremely long which is great as it will reach where you need it to go, but due to the length it can be in the way. Luckily it comes with a build in cable tie which allows you to fold up the cable to a suitable length. The cable is a blue braided cable which allows for an added layer of protection to the cable prevent it getting damaged as easily and the blue is a fairly nice color. - Microphone: Fair warning, I do not use my microphone an awful lot so I am not an expert on it. The microphone feels good quality and nicely slides up and away when not it use. It does not pick up much background noise which is nice. The sound captured by the microphone is nice and clear and is also fairly loud. - Software: This product comes with a nice piece of software made my Logitech which allows for good configuration of the sound signature of the headset. You have a good equalizer built into the software. You have the choice between Dolby Surround Sound and DTS, Each one comes with its own set of options, I personally use DTS with the First Person Shooter settings as it sounds best to me however this is subjective. - Quality: The Plastic on the headset does not feel super high quality but it also does not feel super cheap. The headset feels like it will last a good amount of time. Cons ---- - Cable: Braided cables on things like headsets can be an issue, If you are a person who does not keep an eye on how you put your headset down and such you can easily end up with a twisted mess of a cable. If you do get the headset just be aware you should keep an eye on the cable and make sure you do not twist the cable around a lot.

I don't have much to say about these as they have been my main headset for around 2 years now and they still sound as good as when I bought them. I would recommend them to anyone who was looking for a mid range gaming headset. pros >I am totally impressed with the build quality as I can't count the amount of times I've dropped them on the floor, tripped over the wire, thrown them at the wall. After all this abuse they have just snapped at the back but still works perfectly with a little looser feel. >I listen to music non stop everyday and I absolutely love the sound quality of this headset. It comes with a logitech program that allows you to adjust all of the music settings but I don't tamper with it too much. >Gaming is great on this headset. I play a lot of games that require constant listening and I always hear sounds that others do not and this constantly improves my play (and makes me feel a bit like a superhero who can hear everything) cons >the headset has actually broken at the back but other than being a little looser than before they still work perfectly (this was quite recent and I'm still completely happy with them) >The wire is long as hell which is a blessing and a curse, I can sit across my whole room on the sofa and still listen to music etc. This is a problem with tangling though as my wire is very tangled but not to the point where the wire has shortened but it is annoying at times. This tangling is mostly due to me sitting so close to my desk and not taking much care with the wire as I trip over it constantly. I have recommended this headset to many and will continue to do so.

I've had these headphones for around a year now so I thought it high time to post a long-term review. Construction • The main construction is a black plastic - it does feel lightweight and cheap; however the headphones have taken a few knocks over the year and have stayed sturdy, so the build quality doesn't seem to be an issue. However, they do start to creak after a while and can creak when you're moving your head around - this can get quite irritating. • The cups and headband are sponge with a blue net fabric material. I've generally had no issues with them at all, the cups and band are very comfortable and I've had no trouble with them for longer sessions. • The microphone has a rubber coating and doesn't feel as flimsy as some other headsets I've had in the past. • The cord is long and covered with a blue fabric. It feels very tough and I've again had no problems with it. Doesn't tangle as easily as plastic cord either, so that's another plus. There is an in-line volume and mic control which is unfortunately very poor - the plastic seems to be poor and it doesn't feel like a quality piece of the kit. Sound • Overall, the sound is very good. The surround sound works excellently and the software that comes with the headset seems to work well at boosting the effects. I've certainly had no problems in game with it. • The microphone sound is also decent - voice is of good quality and there is little to no background noise or hiss. I haven't had any issues with the sound dropping out like other reviewers appear to have had. • However, one issue that I have seen a couple of times is the fabric covering on the cord - you can hear it clearly when it rubs against your clothes. Can be quite annoying! • The inline volume control is poor - when changing the volume I've had some issues with the sound not being balanced. I've found that you need to fiddle around with the control a bit before the sound comes back fully in both ears. This is my main gripe with the headset - it feels like they could have spent a tiny bit more money on one little thing which would have improved the overall quality immensely. Conclusions + Good surround sound + Construction overall is on the sturdy side + Plenty of cable length (if you need it) + Comfortable over long periods of time + Microphone is clear and easy to use - Creaking from the plastic can be annoying - Scratchy sound of cable against clothes can also be annoying - Foam/fabric has a tendency to absorb sweat and discolour over time - Really poor quality in-line control can lead to sound dropping in one ear

Hand on heart I'm not a hifi buff who can talk with authority about flattened bass notes in the 7 tachyon range. I just wanted a decent pair of headphones that could hide the external world and give me surround sound for DVD and games. I have a 7.1 sound board and a 5.1 pair of headphones that connect to the soundboard, but the phones were getting a bit rattily and temperamental, a bit like me, but that comes with age. I was a little sceptical as these didn’t use the on board sound card at all, but plugged directly into a USB socket, but at this price I thought I wouldn’t bankrupt myself if they were no good. The phones plugged in and without any other faffing around they just worked. It comes with a little test utility where you can hear the effect of music, film and gameplay as well as hearing each individual speaker. It really does seem to be true 7.1 surround sound and enhances game play something wonderful. I kept turning as I heard enemies behind me. The sound quality sounds excellent to my untrained ear, especially when I’m winin’ to Alison Hinds beats. They are fitted with a mic on a swivel boom, so when not in use you can swivel it out of the way. The cable has a mute switch for the mic for those occasions when a sudden swing of the mouse lands hot coffee in your lap. People have complained that the cable touching the headphones can make a noise as it drags across the surface, which is true but easily avoided with a little bit of cable management. The cable length is generous. If anything a little long, meaning I keep the excess wrapped up in the attached Velcro tie. They enclose my ears completely, providing isolation from the surrounding environment, resulting in one or two cold dinners when I don’t hear Er Indoors calling me. They do have a bit of a plasticy feel to them, but the trade-off for that is they are very light. I don’t experience any discomfort with them, even wearing glasses, and can wear them for longer than it takes for Er Indoors to complain that I’m neglecting her. All in all, I’m very pleased with them.

Update 12/03/18: if you look in the image at the piece that has "g430" written on it. That part just snapped off a moment ago. No misuse, no throwing this headset around or anything (I look after all my stuff very well). I was slipping the headset off and the piece snapped, leaving my right side speaker unit dangling. Apparently, not as solid as I first believed. reduced to 1 star as a result. I can't recommend something this poorly built. The headset itself is fantastic. Solid plastic build and comfy ear pads that I don't really even notice once on. The cable feels like a soft, supple braiding, which is useful for a reason I'll mention in a moment. It's also very long and comes with a cable wrap so you can make it shorter by folding it back on itself without making a mess, which is an excellent idea. The sound is more than adequate. Music is clear and while gaming it's very easy to tell where noise is coming from, so at this price I really don't have any complaints at all in this department. Unfortunately, I do have a concern and a moan: 1. The USB adapter is not heavy, but certainly noticeable and I'm really not sure how long it's going to last since it causes its short cable to hang while weighted, which is undoubtedly pulling, however gently, on the cable and connection. Not the most amazing design in the world, which is reason 1 I've removed a star. 2. Installing the software and getting the headset to work was a bit of a pain and I had a problem of experiencing reduced volume in one ear bud to the extent that I almost sent it back for a replacement. Luckily, the old trick of completely uninstalling and then reinstalling seemed to solve all the issues and I've haven't encountered one since. I'll certainly update if anything changes, but for now I can recommend this product if you're after a low cost surround headset with a USB connection option. I've also taken into consideration that this is a Logitech headset, which is a brand whose peripherals I've used plenty and have a lot of faith in.

Best headset I have owned so far. Pros Software - The software that you can download from the Logitech website really makes a difference, the equalizer is great for customizing the way the audio is played to you and the surround sound also makes games much more realistic as you can clearly tell which direction sounds are coming from. Microphone - The noise cancellation in the mic can cause your voice to cut off, but all you need to do is either turn up the microphone setting on the software or bend the mic a bit closer to your mouth, either method works fine. Audio quality - Audio quality overall is excellent, I would compare them to be almost as good as my Sony MDR 7506's, the headset is quite loud overall so they are fine for gaming and listening to music, and pretty much anything else. USB adapter - You get the choice between plugging the headset and microphone cables directly into your computer, or putting them into the USB adapter which i think has built in 7.1, its like a mini sound card. I think this is an amazing feature that all headsets should have, but don't. Sleek design - Love the design! Looks very clean. Long cable I have also not had any problems with the wire making noise on clothes or the ear cups when wearing the headset for longer periods of time Cons Not much to report other than Build quality - doesn't feel cheap but it wont survive a call of duty rage session. Noise - When you put the volume on the headset all the way up a tiny amount of noise is audible, not a problem for me.# It also seems that sometimes if there are too many sounds playing at once in a game the audio cuts out? Happened to me once or twice.

It worths the money, and working properly with high quality finishing and sound, you may get better quality but you will have to pay at least 200 aed more, so if you have a limited budget and looking for a gaming headset, this is your best option

La calidad de sonido es espectacular para su precio, pese a ser un 7.1 digital no se nota en absoluto que lo sea. Uno de sus problemas es el que en ciertos momentos puede tener unos pequeños "tics" en el sonido, pero solo me ha ocurrido con unas pocas canciones, en juegos no me ha pasado. También tiene otro problema, pero se lo achaco mas al software, y es que casi en todos los menús de los juegos el volumen baja y sube, como si se estabilizara el sonido automáticamente, pero como digo, SOLO en los menús de juego, la experiencia 7.1 en juegos es inmersiva, tengo unos altavoces 5.1 Logitech Z5500 y la verdad que no noto diferencia en calidad y he de decir que me gusta la buena calidad en el audio. Un punto a favor es el tener cable en vez de ser inalambrico, para otros puede ser al contrario, pero teniendo en cuenta que siempre se pierde algo de calidad en los inalambricos, es un punto a favor para mi. A favor: - Aspecto bonito y bien acabado. - Pese a ser de plástico, son muy resistentes. - 7.1 Digital pero no tienen nada que envidiar al real. - Pese a ser grandes, apenas pesan. - Su micro es realmente bueno, con cancelación de ruido. - Trae volumen y mute en el cable. - Cable muy largo, lo que hace que puedas acomodarte tranquilamente mientras ves una película, o juegas. En contra: - A veces tiene unos "tics" algo molestos en el audio, pero solo ocurre en escasas ocasiones. - Bajadas y subidas de audio en el menú de los juegos, misteriosamente solo ocurre ahí. - Pueden apretar algo al principio, al tiempo de uso se acomodan a la cabeza. - Personalmente no es un inconveniente, pero el 7.1 no es compatible con PS3, ni Xbox360 ya que es Digital. Pero puedes escuchar en Stereo desconectando el Jack que trae y conectándolo a la consola e incluso con algún conversor usar el micrófono. Compra totalmente recomendada, un precio a mi parecer muy bueno para tanta calidad.

Le casque est parfait ! Pour le prix on retrouve : - Un micro de très bonne qualité pour réaliser des appels sans bruit de fond, ou réaliser des vidéos si on le souhaite, avec une qualité correct. En effet, lorsque je discute avec des gens, la sensibilité du micro est tel qu'on entend limite pas un aspirateur qui serait utiliser dans la pièce d'à côté ! Par contre, faire attention si l'on crie dedans la sensibilité et l'adaptabilité du micro est tellement bonne que le micro ne vous écoutera plus pendant 2 bonnes minutes ^^ - Un très bon confort, même si il faut se faire au temps d'adaptation à l'avoir sur la tête ( petite cale sur le sommet du crane imperceptible au toucher que ceux qui portent des lunettes depuis l'enfance connaissent ! ). Une fois cela passé, le casque, même avec lunettes est un vrai régale, on ne le sent plus et il faut même faire attention à ne pas l'emporter avec nous lorsque l'on se lève. Les coussinets qu'en à eux ont été lavés une fois ( à l'eau chaude + savon de Marseille ) depuis 6 mois pour ma part puisqu'ils commençaient à afficher des traces de crasses et ils sont comme neufs ! Ils n'ont pas perdus leur souplesse ni leur forme. - Une très bonne résistance, quand on connait la fragilité aux chocs des plastiques durs, du casque ce qui lui permet d'avoir une très bonne longévité. Ne vous fiez pas aux commentaires indiquant qu'ils se sont cassés sans raison, sans avoir été brusque ou je ne sais quelle folie. Ou bien le défaut de fabrication est réel et à ce moment là il se cassera en moins de 6 mois et il est très simple de faire fonctionner la garantie. Ou bien comme moi vous avez des frères et vous savez très bien que lorsque vous êtes capables de garder quelque chose en bonne état alors que étrangement dans les mains de quelqu'un d'autre (de bonne foi évidemment ) il se casse en moins de quelques semaines, c'est qu'il y a anguille sous roche ! - Pour le design, très épuré, noir, avec un petit logo qui reflète très bien la lumière ce qui n'est pas plus mal puisque ça lui donne un côté "haut de gamme" pour ceux qui aiment débourser 500 euros dans un casque pour avoir l'impression d'avoir de la vraie qualité matériel et visuelle. Pour information j'ai testé le G930 de mon frère, et c'est le même casque, avec juste quelques boutons pour faire genre que l'on utilisera absolument jamais sur le côté de l'oreillette. Une sourdine lorsque l'on remonte le micro accompagné d'un témoin lumineux. Les coussinets ont par ailleurs du être remplacés au bout de deux ans parce que la matière s'effrite avec le temps ( évidemment, c'est presque la même texture que du cuir, alors au contact permanent de la transpiration passive ... ), optant alors pour les mêmes coussinets que le G430 puisque la matière en plus d'être agréable, est durable, elle. En conclusion : Je pense, sans trop m'avancer, que logitech est encore une fois capable de proposer du matériel de qualité pour un coût à toutes épreuves puisque pour le même prix, les autres casques, font défauts sur beaucoup de point.

My son is extremely happy with these and the quality of sound

♥ Unboxing: Amazon ha consegnato l’articolo 2 giorni in anticipo, dentro un bel pacchetto imbottito, nonostante la confezione delle cuffie risulta molto protettiva, come si capisce dalle foto in allegato. È realizzata con un cartoncino patinato, ottima anche per un regalo, con una foto delle cuffie in primo piano che lascia intravedere i suoi componenti interni, sul retro troviamo le caratteristiche tecniche in varie lingue, aprendo abbiamo: ➙ le cuffie incastonate in una plastica termofusa della misura giusta per tenerla lontano dai bordi ➙ un manuale multilingua ➙ avvertenze ➙ un cavetto sdoppiatore ♥ Il manuale: Il piccolo manuale in carta semplice, scritto in inglese, francese, tedesco, spagnolo, italiano, portoghese, olandese, svedese e molte altre lingue. Ci mostra: i componenti delle cuffie, come collegarle al pc (da solo o con lo sdoppiatore), come scaricare il software, come settarlo e come pulire le imbottiture. ♥ I jacks: Le cuffie escono di serie con due terminali jack, il verde per le cuffie e il rosso per il microfono. Per collegarle alla Playstation invece dobbiamo usare il cavetto sdoppiatore che il produttore ha incluso nella confezione. ♥ Suono e caratteristiche della cuffia Le cuffie usufruiscono del Audio Dolby Surround 7.1, ottimo per il gaming, soprattutto negli fps. Audio ottimo alle mie orecchie, molto bene i bassi ed altri. L’audio è ottimizzato per musica e gaming, , quindi possono essere utilizzate per qualsivoglia scopo, dalle videochiamate ai videogiochi, ma anche per ascolta un po’ di musica. Sono molto comode, nonostante le svariate ore di gioco non le trovo così pesanti grazie soprattutto al le ottime imbottiture, cosa molto importante perché si indossa spesso per ore! Fantastico l’isolamento acustico, ottimo anche la cancellazione del rumore via microfono. Il microfono si alza, purtroppo non è removibile. E’ una comodità averlo montato sulla cuffia invece che sul tavolo, permette infatti di avere molto più spazio per tastiera e mouse senza cavi aggiuntivi. Il cavo di collegamento è ricoperto dal nylon, lungo 1,5mt, è interrotto da un comando che permette di silenziare o meno il microfono e di regolare il volume a piacimento, insieme col cavo aggiuntivo sdoppiatore supera di poco i 2mt.
