Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED & Bluetooth Wireless Gaming Headset, Ultra Lightweight 165g over-ear headphones, built-in mics, 18h battery, compatible with Dolby Atmos, PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch - Black

Product Information

Logitech says the G435 is optimized for smaller head sizes, but I have a rather large head (I use the last two notches on an adjustable cap) and I found the G435 fit my head well with the headband fully extended. However, if you’ve got a spare LIGHTSPEED dongle from a different Logitech headset, you may be able to reset it and pair with the G435. If you’re the proud owner of a G435 headset, you might be due for an update that will allow Bluetooth pairing with your Nintendo Switch. The airy, fabric-covered earcups are comfortable and keep your ears from getting hot, but they do a lousy job of sound isolation.

The G435 handles the surround sound demands of something like Knockout Cityusing the PlayStation 5’s 3D audio very well. Logitech also has a global recycling program dedicated to salvaging recyclable materials from its devices once you decide to move on to something new.Editor’s note: this Logitech G435 review was updated on May 26, 2023 to include answers to FAQ submissions, clarify the microphone compatibility with the Nintendo Switch, add to the alternative recommendations section, and update formatting. Laid out like this, it might feel a little more like the solution to a math problem than a real-world problem, but it’s reflective of a whole lot more work being done on sustainability than you’ll find just anywhere else in the gaming headset space.

Getting Started - G435 Gaming Headset - Logitech Support

Obviously, your mileage will vary here, but I imagine that the cups would have more room to move if the plastic bars were larger. It’s still a solid, simple wireless option, but as it stands, it’s no better for kids than any other lightweight gaming headset.

I wouldn’t hesitate to use them all day, which was surprising given that the headband lacks padding and has just a thin layer of fabric over the plastic. This gaming headset has scant few controls, but a decent number of additional features, and it doesn’t use Logitech’s G Hub companion app. If the Logitech G435 actually limited audio output as much as it’s supposed to, it would probably be the best wireless gaming headset for kids on the market.
