About this deal

I found it a bit challenging to get the headset recognized on my PC supporting Windows 10, but I am likely to believe the problem was on my end. Anyway, no need to babble about that. You must have noticed that the majority of high-end models have some space to allow better airflow. The G433 headset has a similar port located right behind the headband.

Logitech has a real winner in the G433. It’s a very good value, and provides a lot of flexibility for gamers who want to be able to take their headset over to the console, or out of the house with their phone or laptop. They’re light, comfortable, and sound better than most other headphones in this price range. You even get an extra pair of earpads if you prefer microfiber to Logitech’s mesh fabric. Hydrophobic, stain-resistant fabric shell and comes with two sets of ear pads – sports mesh and microfiber Gaming, on the other hand, is where the G433 excelled. My testing took place over several hours with Prey and Gears Of War 4 – and I was impressed. The top of the headset is made from a scratchy plastic material, with the underside of the headband layered in a generous helping of cloth-covered foam. The entire top section can be extended to fit any size of head, and the ear cups rotate through 90 degrees for added flexibility.

The G433 comes with two interchangeable headphone cables that plug into the bottom of the left earpiece. The PC cable is braided and has an in-line volume dial and mute button. It’s a quality cable that feels sturdy with a good volume/mute clip that feels like it will last a while. The mobile cable is smooth plastic and replaces the volume/mute clip with an in-line mic and command button (tap to pause/play, double-tap to skip forward). The in-line mic works well, but it’s frustrating that there’s no volume control as on most mobile headsets. The boom mic for use with the PC cable is detachable, and made of a pliable rubbery material that easily bends where you want it to go. Logitech also built-in a small, slim pop filter like the one on the G533 so the mic doesn’t have to be covered in a big foam ball. Wired and wireless gaming headsets from Logitech G are comfortable for extended periods. Made from durable materials, PC headsets feature great microphones for communication with other gamers, and outstanding audio quality so every detail comes through. If you own any other Logitech-branded gaming peripheral, chances are you already have an idea of how that whole software thing works. The software app works as a hub for all Logitech devices you use. As for the headsets, you can choose between six EQ profiles- FLAT, FPS, MOBA, Drop the Bass, Cinematic Gaming, and Communications, respectively. You also have the option of building your custom profiles. The carrying case is a soft, zip-up pouch that comfortably holds the headset with the earcups folded flat. It also has room for both cables and the extra earpads, but unless you use some method to keep the cables neatly looped (we recommend hook-and-loop strips), you're inviting an annoying tangle every time you pull your headset out. Game Performance

DTS Headphone:X 2.0 is the latest version of object-based sound imaging from DTS. Version 2.0 takes 7.1 channel surround sound further than ever with enhanced bass rendering, audio clarity and proximity cues. And most importantly, a new level of distance awareness differentiates between near field and far field audio, so your enemy’s location is pinpointed more than ever. The versatility of the G433 can be seen in the form of the detachable microphones and cables that come bundled with the headset. The optimal configuration for console gamers will be to use the boom microphone and 4-pole 3.5mm cable, while PC gamers can utilise the included USB DAC for 7.1 virtual surround sound. An additional cable includes an in-line microphone – useful for portable gaming on the daily commute. Playing games and listening to music with the G433 left me suitably impressed for a headset in this price range. There’s tight competition from the HyperX Cloud II and Corsair Void, but I’m happy to report that the Logitech holds its own. It’s the most versatile of the three, and its sound quality is similar to the Void, but a little less detailed than the Cloud II. Both of those headsets are much cheaper, however, and the G433 doesn’t sound significantly better. Frankly, the mic input level was a bit too low for me and I was disappointed to find out that there was not a boost toggle. However, if you use a PC, you can go to the microphone properties settings, find the Automatic Gain Control option and have this issue solved. G433 Sound Quality The G433 is covered in a sports mesh. Well, this is kind of a weird design decision, some of you would say. At a first glance, it is. However, the sports mesh helps you keep the headset clean. Trust me, this is a perk you will appreciate that after a few months of usage. The stains can be easily removed with a damp sponge.If you are looking for headset suitable for heavy in-game use (MMO raiding, for example) and listening to music on the go, give G433 a shot. The virtual surround improves the soundstage in games and I am pretty sure Mass Effect: Andromeda fans will appreciate it. The in-line microphone is also a great solution for in-game chat. The headset also offers virtual surround sound when using the USB DAC, which can be used to enhance the soundstage in games. It will never be able to match the likes of a dedicated home theatre, but it’s certainly worth experimenting with, since it can help games such as Mass Effect: Andromeda to ‘open up’.

The top of the headset is made of plastic material, and the underside of the headband is covered with cloth-covered foam. The ear cups are replaceable, super flexible and you can rotate them through 90 degrees. The headset ships with cloth and microfiber pads. I have to admit that ear pads swapping gave me a hard time. I wish it was easier to take off the pads that are already on the headset.

The 7.1 surround sound adds a sense of depth when you play Prey or you want to locate the origins of the distant shots in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. However, if you are listening to stereo-only sources on the PC, you’d be better off if you disable it. Logitech G433 Headset Software
