    The Logitech G435 headphones feel like a return to simplicity. There's no complicated software to set up. No RGB lights to configure. The headphones are light. There's no bulky microphone hanging off the side of my face. After a while, I forget I'm even wearing a gaming headset. I've owned many headsets and these might be the most comfortable headsets I have ever owned. Audio has been clear with no pops, hisses, or distortions. These headphones are very easy to recommend. They're light, they're comfortable, and they sound good. Setup: The headset package comes with a charging USB-C to USB-A cable, the lightspeed USB-A adapter, and the headphones. The headset has three buttons, a power button, volume button, a mic / on off button that also doubles as a toggle for bluetooth or lightspeed audio. Pairing with a computer using the light speed adapter is truly plug-and-play. Plug the adapter into your PC and turn on the headset and you're good to go. If you want to pair with a PC or phone via bluetooth, you switch the toggle and an indicator light will flash blue letting you know it is in pairing mode. Note: You can't receive lightspeed and bluetooth audio at the same time. You have to switch the headphones over to either bluetooth or lightspeed mode. If you decide you want to pair the headset with another bluetooth device, you hold the power button and the mute button to get the headset into pairing mode. Audio Quality: The headset has sounded very good in my trials. I can tell a quality difference between some other headphones that have 50mm drivers. (The G435 have 40MM drivers) But, I still think these headphones sound very good. I think they will sound very good for most users. Playing music and games, I thought they sounded good. The audio has been very well balanced. On PC you can use spatial audio such as Windows Sonic for Headphones or Dolby Atmos. To activate spatial audio, right click on the volume icon on the bottom right side of the taskbar. (usually right next to the clock / date). The Dolby Atmos plug-in can be purchased from the Microsoft Store, but I believe Windows Sonic is free with Windows 10. One of the things that impressed me about this headset was the dual beamforming microphones. On my phone calls and online sessions, I was told I sounded good. I have a fan going in my room and nobody picked up on that noise. If I had a nitpick, it might be the buttons. The volume button and the power button are okay, but trying to use the mute button as a multi-tool, felt a bit awkward sometimes. I like to know I have actually activated mute and with the audio cue the headset gives off, it is kind of hard to tell if I am muted or not. There is a red light off and green light on effect on the headset, but I can't see that if I press while I have the headset on my head. Battery life has been great. I've only charged it once so far and I've been using it for several days at the computer. Conclusion: I really like this headset. I love how simple it was to set up and use. Not every peripheral needs lighting effects, software to download, and half a dozen buttons. Sometimes, less is more and these lightweight headphones sound good and have great battery life. I really like this headset. I think Logitech did a great job and I highly recommend the G435.

    Great Wireless Gaming Headset At a Wired Price

    Logitech just keeps pumping out cool gear. This headset is definitely a cool piece of gear, if not, cheaply put together. I'm talking down on it only because of the materials. This isn't what you'd expect from a G series headset. It feels like something you'd get from that other company that likes the un-ninja, shelled creatures by the shore. you know who I'm talkin' 'bout. These just feel flimsy and fragile. While I do feel like they are designed for younger gamers, they still allow for you to do other things when you're not gaming. You can pair them to your bluetooth device of choice( your smartphone, for sure) to listen to your music, when you're out and about. The 40mm drivers allow for a nice immersive sound, pushing the rest of the world out, while allowing you to hear every angle of your in-gaming environment. The call quality, while using your phone is good enough, but let's be honest, you'll only be using these for phone calls while you're gaming. These are not hang-out headphones. As much as Logitech would want you to use them for that, these aren't worth the shame of the mochery that you'll receive from using these in public( unless you are between the ages of 12 and 14.) They get the job done, for a pair of low-end gaming bluetooth at a budget price. I think that's what saves these for me. The price is what you'd expect to pay for a good pair of wired gaming headphones, but you get wireless. So simple to set up, by plugging in the USB A dongle into your pc or pairing them to your Playstation, Nintendo Switch or smartphone. When gaming, & linked they headphones will switch from your pc to your phone when you receive a call and return to the action when you hang up. I really like that. It's got a long enough battery life at up to 18 hours I averaged 16 hours during my use, but that's still pretty good. Just have you type c charger available and you're good to go. The fact that they are very lightweight, makes them ideal to wear all day during long gaming sessions. These are stay home headphones. Don't sweat in them, so no working out or yard work is recommended. In my opinion, I'd say these are some good quality headphones with a great price-point.

    The Logitech G435 wireless gaming headset is a nice addition to my gaming lifestyle. A lightweight set of headphones that adjust with ease and are comfortable for long gaming sessions. This headset weighs about 5.8 oz and contains 40mm drivers that deliver a nice complete sound for the games I’ve played so far. I can hear all the small details and be immersed in my game to hear voices in the distant and nearby in my virtual world. The capability to get Dolby Atmos is a big plus when playing on compatible games. I have liked these headphones' ability to utilize a dual beamforming microphone so I don't have the microphone on the side of my cheek. Microphone works well as my voice carries well and everyone can hear me clearly. Lightspeed USB receiver is a quick connection and stable for hearing everything I need to. This can also be connected to your device with Bluetooth as well. Memory foam cushions are comfortable and feel snug without being tight. 18 hours of battery life allows you to keep doing your thing with gaming, music, and chat. Interesting feature with these is that they are also certified CarbonNeutral, so you can feel good about doing your part to buy a brand that cares for the environment. USB-C charging port for recharging the battery is easy top plug into. Included with the headphones you get a USB receiver, and a USB-A to USB-C charging cable. Well worth it for an everyday gamer that wants some functional headphones with a nice lightweight to them. PRO: Sound clarity Wireless Lightweight CON: Can't be used while plugged in (corded)

    Complete trash headphones. Worked fine for the first week or so, just turn them on and my P.C would automatically recognize them as my output but all of a sudden, that stopped working and now I have to jump through hoops to get these to even work on my computer and 90% of the time they don't. I will never buy Logitech headphones again as long as I live, I should have known by looking at them (And by the fact that they're Logitech) that they were complete garbage headphones and sadly, I was correct.

    Logitech continues to evolve and release newer audio products for next gen consoles. So, happy to see they’ve released the Logitech G435 in time for the gift-wrapping season. In the box, you’ll find the headset, a USB Lightspeed adapter, a USB C cable, and a simple setup guide. The headset has some basic functional buttons for power, volume, and a simple mute button on the bottom. Holding the mute button allows you to swap between using the USB Lightspeed adapter or with Bluetooth. Once paired, the device connects quickly when turned on. I was surprised with just how light the headset felt as I held it and was even more surprised with how comfortable it was during use. It’s designed a bit smaller than other headsets in the same price range, while offering similar audio performance. The lightweight allowed for longer gaming sessions and required almost no charging for almost 17 hours during my initial use. Using the USB C cable to charge the device took approx. 2 hours to reach full. Pairing the headset with Bluetooth or Lightspeed on a PC running Windows 10 (at least in my case), and you have the option to use this with Dolby Atmos for Headphones. There was a couple of random instances when turning on the headset, where my PC was outputting simple mono audio, as if it were a phone call. This was immediately fixed by simply toggling the headset on and off. I’m not entirely sure why Windows would set it up this way, as there was no setting I could toggle to change the audio output, and it only happened a couple of times during the first day of use. If you’re using other Logitech accessories and have the Logitech G Hub app, you won’t see this show up on the main dashboard or in the “gear” section of the app (at least at the time of this review). Seeing as this headset is smaller, I fully expected the audio to feel less satisfying, but was pleasantly surprised with the overall quality being output from the 40mm drivers. The headset sounded best with Dolby Atmos enabled on my PC, with fuller sound, deeper Bass response, and a surround sound effect that provides a crisp sound to anything you’re listening to. Music sessions during work hours were pleasant, and the long battery life meant I could easily turn off my PC and jump right into gaming. The headset paired quickly using the dongle, which is required for use on the console, once you hold the mute button to toggle over. I should note, this doesn’t allow for multiple Bluetooth connections, so if you’re needing to swap to another device, you’ll need to initiate pairing with the power/mute button until you’re connected. The microphone implementation on the headset doesn’t require a connected boom mic arm, as it’s built directly into the earphone. I never once had anyone complain about my voice capture in gaming chats, or while using this with video calls. I was also surprised at how well it ignored background noise, as it didn’t constantly toggle voice output as my dogs were playing in the background. Not entirely sure if the software of the video calls or if the PS5 was helping but was happy to know it wasn’t an issue. I should note that sound will bleed out of the headset. So, I’d be mindful if you’re working or playing alongside someone, as they’ll be able to make out most any sound coming from the headset if volume is up enough. Overall, I’d recommend this to any PS5 player looking for a comfortable headset for longer sessions without all the stress of a cord, a mic to move out of the way, and easy to find buttons. It’s lightweight without feeling cheap, has a long battery life, paired extremely well with Bluetooth 5 devices (with a longer range), and Dolby Atmos spatial audio really makes it stand out. The price seems to be in the sweet spot, and easily bests other headsets in the same price range.

    Lightweight headset with good sound. Pairing via Bluetooth to my PC was simple and easy. The headset is comfortable and I could easily wear it for a few hours at a time. The cushions are soft and don't hurt my ears. I would like some padding on the top that goes across the head. It's soft and doesn't cause discomfort but even just a little padding would make it better. Also the inside of the ear cups are just plastic with no covering. Would like some sort of fabric covering as it does touch my ears. Overall a good headset for the price.

    I’m liking this headset, its very versatile. You can use it with a PC, a PlayStation or any other device that uses Bluetooth. They include their famous lightspeed usb dongle, which I’m currently using on my laptop. No lag at all. Setup was easy, you just plug the usb dongle on any usb port on your PC and its ready to go (the mic is in the headset itself, there is nothing to plug). I thought you had to install Logitech’s Ghub software suit to use it/configure it, however the software told there is no need for it to use the headset… nothing shows on the suite. You just control it via the buttons on the earcup for volume, device mode or mute. If you want to use surround sound, you must use other solutions, like dolby atmos for windows or windows sonic. They were comfy to use, the padding is very soft and nice. The earcups are a little small though and kind of oval shaped (compared to other headsets I have had), good thing I have small ears, but YMMV depending on your ear lob sizes. Sound was clear and punchy, very nice 40mm drivers, but if you want to use an EQ or fine tune them, you may need to use third party solutions, as I said, Logitech’s own GHub told me there’s nothing in them for these. Finally, you charge these with the included Type C usb cable (finally, usb type C!), there is no included power adaptor, but any powered usb plug should charge these. I have been using them on a full charge for 4 days in a row now (around 2 to 3 hours gaming sessions each) and battery is still going strong. Highly recommend them for an all in one PC and or other devices solution!

    They are very light which gave the incorrect 1st impression of being cheaply made. But the they are well constructed and durable. Being light mean I comfortably can wear them for a long time. I wear glasses and they conform sround them comfortably without pressing them into me. The battery life is pretty good and the can be charge while wearing them. I am not an audiophile but to me the sound is good and full. The range is solid for about 30-40 feet with some walks in between before cutting out. I haven’t used the microphone so I can’t comment on that. They seal well around my ears blocking sound reasonably well. My only compliant is they can get a little warm to wear when it is hot but that is the case with any over the ear headphones

    Fair sound, light, versatile; not quite for adults

    SOUND: Let's get this out of the way right up front--this is only an okay-sounding set of gaming cans. I wouldn't describe the sound signature as very lively, full-bodied, or even "gamery." If you were hoping to squeeze some high-quality sound from the G435, terms like hollow, veiled, or thin more immediately come to mind. Bass is fair but not visceral--there is no real slam or satisfying "heft" in the low end--explosions or kick drums land with more of a dull thud than a satisfying boom. The mids and highs are...fine...I just wouldn't describe them with any platitudes like natural, detailed, or sparkly, even with higher-definition audio sources, files, or streams. That's not to say these headphones produce "bad" sound, they just don't do anything to wow you at any end of the spectrum--but I suppose that also means there is nothing offensive or fatiguing about them, either. If you're simply not all that fussy about sound quality, or are more after wireless convenience for some "casual gaming," these are likely going to be perfectly serviceable and well-suited to your needs. FEATURES AND OPERATION: Kudos to Logitech for fielding a wireless headset that does NOT require the G Hub client to be installed for configuration and use! The included Lightspeed wireless dongle provides totally lag-free audio for PC while built-in Bluetooth capabilities allow it to serve double duty for phones, tablets, and gaming systems on the go. Once I got past the rather obtuse button combinations on the headset to enter BT pairing mode, the BT connection itself with my iPhone 12 was solid and stutter free to well past 20 feet or so. Better still, I did not notice any significant Bluetooth lag when watching movies or video streams. On my PC, Windows sound properties indicated bit-depth and sampling was fixed at 16-bit/48kHz, roughly DVD quality sound. The boomless microphone actually worked surprisingly well with only a hint of artificial or watery compression-like sound on voice capture; though it did tend to pick up just a bit more ambient noise than a directional boom mic, so I don't think these are necessarily well-suited to competitive gaming or really noisy environments where you still want your teammates to hear you clearly. The USB-C port on the left earcup is only for charging as these are wireless ONLY--you cannot use the headphones like an external soundcard with a constant/permanent connection to your PC, nor is there a 3.5mm jack to use the headset in passive mode. I ran the headphones at medium-ish volume on a Netflix auto-play queue for more than 10 hours and the LED status light still did not indicate less than a 30% charge; therefore, I would imagine the purported 18-hour runtime is reasonably accurate. The box also includes a USB-A to USB-C charging cable, though a small cloth pouch or drawstring bag would have been nice to keep the headphones even minimally protected when not in use. Despite a surprising number of features, controls are minimal and, therefore, are not exactly simple. A single LED serves multiple duties as status and mode indicators: green for power on AND power off (not red--weird) as well as medium to full battery levels; cyan for Lightspeed wireless mode, darker blue for Bluetooth mode, orange for setting maximum volume levels and sidetone function, and red for low and critical battery levels...all of varying duration of illumination or flash patterns, virtually guaranteeing that you need to have the manual handy to decipher anything going on beyond power on/off and volume adjustment. Similarly, activating those various functions and features is a relatively non-intuitive combination of single and dual-button presses and holds with only a series of tones, rather than spoken status and ready prompts, to serve as audio cues. Again, the quick-start guide is pretty much mandatory reading here--an extra "Mode" button might have done wonders for usability. Most of these functions are set-it-and-forget-it, however; so once you have your volume limits set, your headphones paired to all your source equipment, and your sidetone dialed in just right, you really only have to worry about power, volume, mic mute, and switching between wireless and BT modes, which are mercifully simple. Speaking of sidetone, I was not expecting to see accommodations for sidetone activation and volume level in a wireless headset that seemed this "basic" on the surface; so those of you who find team-speak unnatural without hearing your own voice, or maybe don't want to hear your own voice when you're on a phone call, have the option to adjust this feature as desired. Given that the headset is really better suited to younger players (more on that in a bit), having an option to set my kid's volume limit to 85dB or 100dB was actually appreciated. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION: The headphones do not collapse, nor do the earcups fold flat for storage. Vertical adjustment is accomplished through an infinitely variable slider system that allows the earcups to glide up and down along plastic rails at each end of the headband; there is virtually no horizontal pivot to the earcups before the headband itself starts to twist. Resistance on the rails is not very high, however, so the earcups routinely shifted position just from putting them on or removing them. There is no click-lock system to retain sizing so you'll probably be readjusting the headset every time you handle them. The ear pads are covered with a breathable mesh which reduces heat build-up against the skin and around the ears. The interior of the earcups are angled--deeper at the back than the front to better match the anatomy of the ear. Basically, if your ears are small enough to fit fully inside the pads, your ear lobes get "tucked" into the rear of the earcups, and the drivers are angled more naturally towards your ear canals rather than sitting perpendicular to the openings. This would normally be fine, even comfortable, but the earcups themselves are actually quite small (again, Logitech seems to be aiming at younger players or those with smaller features) resulting in a relatively poor seal and even discomfort around the bottom of my earlobes which were spilling out below the bottom of the pads. The headband is covered with a jersey-like cloth wrap; this helps keep the weight down (and the cost, I would imagine), but offers no padding whatsoever on the underside of the headband. At least on my head, I could feel straight through the cloth to the plastic rails of the headband frame and the slats running between them--it was not good. Also, the cloth covering is not very durable--I can easily see it snagging on some pens, keys, cable ends, or errant Velcro fasteners lying around on a desk or tabletop--mine actually came fresh out of the box with a pinhole in the material that was already starting to widen after only a few days. If you treat your gear pretty roughly, or are nonchalant about throwing them around after you're done using them, I suspect the cloth headband cover may start showing rips and snags pretty quickly. But such concessions in construction and materials are also what account for the G435's absurdly light weight, so you need to take those compromises into account as you decide what you value and want out of your headphones. FITMENT AND COMFORT: Logitech's marketing literature indicates that the G435 headset "fits a wide range of players but is optimized for the comfort of younger players and those with smaller heads." I disagree; it would probably be less disingenuous (at least based on my experience) to say the G435 isn't really designed for anyone OTHER than younger players or those with smaller heads. As an adult male with a "regular-sized" noggin, the best term I can find to describe these is "cramped." More to the point, I found these headphones supremely uncomfortable with clamping pressure surprisingly high given how light they are--not to mention the fatigue and discomfort I experienced from the smallish earcups and minimally padded headband. Now, I wanted to be fair as I generally quite like Logitech's gear, and I am still immensely satisfied with my Logitech G Pro wired headset, so I passed these to my wife and daughter, both of whom are quite smaller than me--and both of whom thought the headphones were actually very comfortable. In that sense, Logitech has probably served its niche market well; they have produced a lightweight headset for younger players who probably care more about wireless convenience than they do about sound quality (or maybe who wouldn't necessarily notice any sacrifices in sound quality they made over more capable headphones). But for a more "average-sized" adult gamer, or at least one with an even mildly discerning ear, I would have a VERY hard time recommending this headset.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
