Logitech - G433 Wired 7.1 Gaming Headset for PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One - Blue camo

Sorry, verbose review but I have a few things to say. I use my new Logitech G433 only for PC gaming (at the moment) playing SWTOR on my ASUS Q534 (which I purchased at Best Buy). My previous PC headsets were both Beats, a 1st gen Studio Noise-quieting and Solo 2.0 Bluetooth. My ears would hurt after an hour wearing either of them which disappointed me because these are expensive headsets meant to be worn for hours at a time listening to music. I had gone back to using an old pair of Logitech behind-the-neck chat headsets I bought about 10 years ago for PC gaming but still had in the drawer. When I first heard of the G433s I did a lot of research to convince me they were worth buying. 7.1 on PC and compatible for Xbox, PS4 and mobile, although I have other headsets for the consoles, plus the low price (got them for $89.99) and reputation of Logitech convinced me. I was able to grab a pair in Blue Camo last weekend and I have spent a week with these playing about 18-20 hours of SWTOR. The sound quality is awesome and I can wear them for hours without any pain to my ears. :) I love the blue camo look and fabric feel but this may be a turn off to some people. The padding around the ears is comfortable and the head band is padded. The volume controls are in a easy to find location on the wire. I'm very happy I bought these. I look forward to trying out the software to customize the audio and try them with my console for review purposes. Best thing is.. Good bye Beats!

Great audio experience. Love these headphones! They worked great for all my systems.

Got this for Zoom meetings. Works great. Lightweight, quality sound, clear microphone. I would recommend this to anyone.

I got the headphones about 3 months ago and still are working perfectly.realy good for gaming and in the day use.

It sounds smooth, good sound and quality for the value. Exactly what I was looking for

Really good pair of gaming headset for the money, has a lot of accessories n works great !

Excellent product. Was inexpensive and works better than some headsets ive paid $250 for.

In my PC gaming time, I've owned some extremely high-end headsets but never a 7.1 headset, so I had some high hopes, and for the most part, this did not disappoint. First, the styling is a bit different than what you'd normally see on a headset, it's cloth covered, which leads me to wonder if it will pick up dirt, oils from hands, etc. a little more easily than a plastic one that could be wiped off. Second, despite being marketed as a 7.1 surround sound headset, it's a stereo headset with virtual 7.1 surround capabilities through the Logitech Gaming application. The 7.1 surround capabilities only function on a PC when using the Logitech USB dongle. It does an alright job at it, but I imagine a headset with separate drivers would do a better job. This headset does not do 7.1 surround when connected to a console. Third, the cable is comically short for being a wired PC headset. Interestingly they included a second one to use with phones, but the one they specifically have as a PC headset wire is not longer. The boom mic is detachable, which I have my reservations about having experienced other headsets with detachable boom mics where that is the single point of failure for the whole system, so I'm hoping this will not be a repeat performance. Admittedly, those were not logitech headsets. It comes with a nice cloth carry bag and a separate cloth carry bag for the wires, I imagine they have it in mind people will take this with them when they go console gaming. The sound itself is actually quite good. I get more bass out of this headset than most that I've experienced with the exception of the super-high-end. The logitech gaming application has a 7.1 surround demo which sounds cool and displays what the headset's virtual surround can do for the most part, the bass portion of the demo left me wonder if my face was vibrating. As for outside of that, I did experience the surround in some games if I was paying attention, but it didn't really stand out. Bottom line, if you want a cool looking stereo headset with virtual surround capabilities, that sounds good and is reasonably comfortable to wear, then this is up your alley. It does a good job at what it does, without being terribly stellar.
