Logitech - G430 Over-the-Ear Gaming Headset - Black

I purchased this headset in April 2017. They have been an amazing headset up until the point when the bracket that holds the left speaker to the headband broke (an issue that many others have had as I have come to find out). The sound quality was awesome and the mic was very clear. Just this month, the headband bracket took a dive and made the headset unwearable - BUT Logitech has a 3 year warranty =) After a short discussion with Logitech's support line and emailing a picture of the broken part, they are sending me a free replacement. Logitech's warranty customer service is hands down the BEST that I have ever had to deal with. (Note: the support website was down, so I called in to their tech line, and they took care of it for me from there.) So All-in-all: Is it a great headset for the money? Yes. Is it a bummer that the bracket broke? Yeah. Do I feel I've wasted my $40? Absolutely Not. If you have this headset, or are thinking of buying them, just keep an eye on the plastic bracket. Once it starts to show signs of fatigue, contact Logitech Support and get your free replacement =) These headsets are still available to purchase in-store today. Don't fear the possible (probable) breakage. Logitech stands behind their products.

After my old generic gaming headphones that I purchased at a large retail chain store stopped working properly, I decided to go to Best Buy to take a look at their selection of gaming headsets. The Logitech - G430 headphones had every feature I needed, and more. They are incredibly comfortable, the virtual surround sound makes your games come to life. You can easily locate the source of a sound in a game since you can easily tell if it's in front, behind, or beside you. The microphone is crystal clear to the other players, and the headphones produce sounds that seem to be coming from surround sound speakers. I have owned a number of different headsets, and I can say that these are by far the best ones I've ever owned, and the price is unbelievably low! I'm so glad I decided to purchase the Logitech - G430 headphones from Best Buy!

I needed a replacement headset. There is nothing like good clear communication and I get great audio with this durable headset! Thanks Logitech

These headphones are beyond amazing! The sound quality is worth your buck! The speaker is clear when communicating. The muffs feel snug but comfy, you forget you're wearing them.

Excellent sound quality. Surpasses other brand headphones on almost every front: style, sound. Lightweight design that's not bothersome on the ears.

Really comfortable headset, good audio, nice design.

Great headphones for a good price. Best Buy is always knowledgeable and helpful

Very good headset at a very good price point. It is not perfect, but the imperfections lie more with the firmware/software than with the hardware. PROS: - VERY COMFORTABLE the cloth cover of the ear pads felt great. The clamp force is just right. The material on the cups feels great. They are very breathable, they do not feel warm or hot, and they will not make your ears sweat. The foam is okay, other much more expensive headsets have softer foams. - Very long braided blue cord terminating in 3.5mm jacks (it does come with a USB plug). The cord is thin and very soft, but feels very premium, high quality and strong. In addition, it comes with a Velcro strap that you can use to organize the cord. - The virtual surround sound delivers on its promise. This will up your game if your system supports Dolby 7.1 or virtual surround sound. I have been playing various games and the positional/directional sound support is so beautiful and immersive. CAVEAT: you need to install the bloated Logitech gaming software + you need to use the included usb sound card for virtual surround sound to work but more on that later - Noise reduction on the mic is great. Headsets that are more expensive have those bendable mics and stuff - this does not, and I like it that way. It feels very futuristic and sturdy. I recorded myself sitting beside an electric fan and when I listened to the recording, I could not even hear the fan but my voice was very loud and clear. Very happy about this - comes with 3.5mm analog mic and headset jacks. Perfect for when you just need stereo sound and you cannot be bothered with USB CONS: - WILL NOT WORK ON USB 3.0 ports! Believe me; I spent four agonizing hours trying to figure out why my mic would not work properly and why the drivers kept crashing my desktop. Logitech tech support on their official forums was no help. Out of sheer frustration, I finally stumbled on the solution - I decided to try switching my connection from my USB 3.0 port to my USB 2.0 port and made the headset the primary and it suddenly worked perfectly. - Logitech Gaming Software the only reason to install this is if you absolutely need 7.1 virtual surround sounds. SUMMARY: GET THIS HEADSET. It would be a steal at this price if only Logitech would become organized and update the firmware to work with USB 3.0. Other than that, this headset is near perfect.
