Logitech - G432 Wired 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset for PC - Black/Blue

I never write reviews, but this headset is amazing and I wanted to tell people to go for this one if you're on the fence. Ignore all the "professional" reviews found on Google searches saying these are just alright or mediocre. These really shine when plugged in via USB and Logitech's G Hub software is enabled. If you do not use the USB adapter and simply plug them in like normal headphones, they sound like anything else with 50mm drivers. Backstory: I have been running high-quality Sony MDR-7506 studio headphones for years and wanted to pick up a new headset with a mic built in. I originally tried some other gaming headsets in this price range, but I was never happy with the sound quality (especially looking at you, Astro A10...utter garbage), so they were returned. After plugging in via USB and turning on surround sound in Logitech G Hub, I was instantly blown away. These provide better audio quality than the Sony MDR-7506, which is the standard for many audio engineers. There is no reason to get anything more expensive unless you need special features like lighting effects / different soundstage. Downsides: there is slightly more clamping force than some other headsets. The foam pads are pretty terrible. Neither of these are deal breakers. If you want to make these 100x more comfortable, add Noisefighters silicone gel-filled ear pads with glue backing. They're not a perfect fit since the original pads are weirdly shaped, but the Noisefigthers makes this G432 more comfy than any headset on the market (I'm serious, these are now more comfortable than my friend's $2000+ Sennheiser's)...all at $100 total. 5/5 buy this.

The Logitech G432 Surround Sound Gaming Headset is a good device for gamers looking to have an immersive gaming experience. I recently acquired this headset and have tested it out with a few different types of games, ultimately having my preference of using it for adventure, exploration style games where understanding surroundings and sensing directions of sounds is key. This is one of the great aspects of the 50mm Drivers and DTS Headphone X 2.0 Surround Sound. Good sound quality that is robust for the adventure experience. While nice for this type of game, other genres like sports or fighting games don't really need the feature as much. In those instances, the headphones become a way of simply playing a game without using TV audio. The microphone works well enough for what is advertised. The flip to mute function is handy and not a distraction while wearing the headset. In general, the headset is comfortable for long play sessions, having been tested by me for multiple sessions of 3+ hours without issues. I had no issues with pain or pressure on my head or ears and felt that the padding was good for the design. The main issue I had with this headset was using across multiple platforms. I primarily game using the Playstation 4 and Nintendo Switch consoles. I also occasionally use mobile devices for gaming. While the functionality of the Playstation 4 and mobile device market makes this headset easy to use (with a 3.5 mm cable), the Nintendo Switch is another story. In handheld mode, the Nintendo Switch device works fine with this headset for gaming audio. However, syncing with the Nintendo Online service app via your phone renders native voice chat useless. This is a Nintendo, not Logitech issue. But still nonetheless, voice chat while listening to gameplay is not possible. Using the headset while the Nintendo Switch is in docked mode is also not practical, as there is no 3.5 mm audio port on any current Nintendo controllers. So unless your Nintendo Switch device is within 3-5 feet of you, it isn't worth using. Overall, my experience with this device was great on the Playstation 4 and mobile device platforms, while adequate to poor on the Nintendo Switch. If in the market for a gaming headset, I would purchase this device provided the platform I game on has functionality conducive to its use.

Let me start off with how comfortable the G432 headset is even for someone that wears glasses. I was playing Crysis 3 for a couple of hours with no ear pain or my ears getting warm. Normally with previous gaming headsets, I would have to stop after an hour to take a break due to either one of those issues. Normally Leatherette earpads are comfortable to use but they tend to get warm on extended game play periods. But whatever material Logitech use on this bravo cause they somehow managed to stay cool. As for the style, they pretty much look the same as previous models before except for the color scheme. I actually like the look of the G432 it’s not over the top and the blue earpads go well with the black scheme. For the build quality it’s good overall they don’t feel cheap. The only complaint I have is the cable it’s too thin for my taste and I would of prefer it to be detachable. So if the cable goes out the entire headset will need to be replaced. Now for the USB DAC dongle, it does feel cheap and every time I plugged in the cable it can hear a clicking noise from the inside almost like something is loose. It does feel hollow overall. Sound quality is very good when you take advantage of it using the included USB DAC dongle. They sound good without it but the effect is not immersive when using them with DTS surround option. Games like Crysis 3 campaign I can tell a big difference with and without the DAC dongle. The Logitech G Hub provides default sound profile for current popular games like Apex Legends and Destiny 2. You can also adjust the volume level individually for the 7.1 speakers. If you don’t like the default settings you should be able to find one to your liking with so many options to adjust. As for the mic, you can quickly mute it by flipping it back. Logitech did a good job with noise suppression even with a loud fan on the background my friend was able to hear me loud and clear. So far it’s been the best mic I’ve used for online gaming. Overall Logitech did a fantastic job on with the G432. They’re not too expensive and you also get tons of sound customizations. The complaints are minor mainly due to the thin non-detachable cable. Just keep in mind if you’re a console player you will not be able to take advantage of those sound profiles. For PC gamers it’s a solid pick up for a wired gaming headset.

I have a PS4 and so this plugs into the 3.5mm port. To take advantage of the listening experience when you game, you must set the output volume on the PS4 controller to the max, and then adjust the volume on the headset. So, in comparison with another headset I have with relatively the same specs, it’s also great with just a few differences. Here, you have a volume adjustment knob that is behind your left ear pad, which means if you had to adjust while your gaming, you’d have to make one hand free (left) and perhaps pause or “stop moving”. Some other headsets have volume knobs near the 3.5mm male plug going into the input of the controller, whereas it’s a bit easier. That’s just different and for this Logitech design, you would just have to adjust to it. Microphone works the same way (like my other one, flip up to mute and down to talk). The weight feels a bit heavier but not much. I would think it’s because of the leatherette used and also metal within the headset adjustment (my old one is plastic). Though I don’t have a gaming PC, it does come with an extra accessory of a USB male to 3.5mm analog stereo female, which this headset plugs into. So this can be already advantageous right out of the box when you have a desktop gaming PC with an available USB for audio. I do like the colors and it does compliment my dark blue 500million series collectors edition DualShock 4 controller. I will look forward using this in many new games to come, especially horror when you need to hear carefully; these are a must.

After gaming with the Logitech G432 headsets, I've found them to be lightweight and comfortable. The padding around the headset is just right for a nice comfortable fit. You have a volume dial on the left side cup and it comes with a variety of connections for you choosing. You have the option of connecting via a splitter (headphones and mic) or through a USB adapter. I found that connecting them via the USB adapter provided better sound than just plugging the headsets directly from their audio jack. Im mostly into shooter style games and racing, and I must say that it's been a great audio experience with the Logitech G432 gaming headset. So far, the only drawback that I have found in the Logitech G432 headset is the need to utilize the USB adapter for a better sound experience. This can be a letdown if you are using them with an Xbox or other gaming console. In all, the Logitech G432 gaming headset is great for budget gaming.

I’m a avid gamer and I’ve been using tons of earphone headsets but they’ve often disappointed me as they break at the hunches or end up losing sound after a few months. “Looking at you turtle beach”. I saw the G430 on sale for Black Friday last year and bought them and they have been perfect since purchase to now. I also bought these G432 since they are an upgraded version of the G430 and they are much better than the previous iteration.

Like many of us, I'm working remotely due to COVID-19 and have been spending a lot of time in Zoom meetings. I wanted headphones that went around my ears and were comfortable to wear for long periods of time, something with a cord so I wouldn't have to deal with charging it, and something with a microphone so I could be heard more clearly. This headset meets all those requirements! I've only been using the USB connecter on my computer, but it does have a normal headphone jack too (although if you use that one, the microphone doesn't work). My coworkers teased me at first (this is very obviously a gaming headset, and I have more of a Karen aesthetic), but I don't care if I look like a doofus - I can hear people and the headphones don't hurt!

I needed a decent, economical headset for conference calls, but I wanted something that could also be used for gaming. Comfort was a primary concern and I am pleased with how they feel after an hour-long meeting. I wear glasses so there is a slight discomfort as the cushion push against them. But aside from that they are not tight and the cushions are soft and pliable. One feature I needed was the ability to use with PC USB and with a normal 3.5mm headphone jack. Comes with the DAC adapter for USB and an analog splitter adapter for phones/mic jacks. The audio quality for voice and gaming is fine. Other have said the mic is sub-par, but no one has complained about the quality on their side yet. I like that the mic pivots up out of the way and servers to mute the audio as well, but I would like another option as that action becomes annoying in a long call. Also nice that they fold flat for transport. Overall a good value and good performance.
