Very good headse
Use these for my Xbox, they plug straight into the controller with no extra adapters needed. Great sound quality. The mic is excellent as it blocks out background noise. Very happy and highly recommend it!
The shau
Seem sturdy enough. They dont fly off when you punch yourself in the face like i occasionally do whilst playing games or watching adult films and teasing your weisel at the same time.
Great sound for the price
Great surround sound with or without the usb connector. Mic is good, and you can wear them for long periods without your ears getting sweaty. Little Noise cancellation, but not a big deal.
Logitech G432
Great Dolby High quality sounds.
Only is that the adaptor for surround effect not quite enjoying, but maybe it’s not for me, as covers all the sound effects rather.
Otherwise, recommend for budget product!
Decent headse
For the money, this is a good headset. Users may find that getting decent surround sound in some games might require some trial and error, but my experience has been positive. They look good (not fussy) and are light with very good sound quality – more so when using the USB dongle.
Perfect for on a budge
I brought this product when it was on discount, it was around 35 when I brought it.
I had a turtle beach headset before this and as that was on its way out, my cousin recommended this headset as he had it himself.
The sound quality is much better then my turtle beach one.
When my cousin was using his, his microphone was clear and I could hear him fine.
First off, a mention for the seller Home Junction, who refused to send out their headset for quality control reasons.
That’s what I call customer service!
So now on to the Logitech 432, which arrived in less than one day.
I’d spotted a problem in the Amazon listing, where the ‘wired’ version cost 40 more than the ‘wire-free’ option, but after the CS Rep checked with his resource specialist, it turned out that the ‘wired’ version was the product on offer, regardless of the product listing.
Looks like someone ought to get their listings corrected?
It arrived at around 4.30pm – around 10 hours after the order was placed – and it was a case of plug-and-play for the best sounds possible.
Highly recommended!
Very comfortable headphones and first ones I have had that don’t squash your ears as they fit inside the phones, the sound quality is very good though I just use stereo but did try the surround which I would say was okay but limited as it may only be good if a game has been created sound wise for this type of headphone, so in general better keep with stereo, and I would recommend them.
Why didn’t I buy sooner??
This was bought for my 16 year old son, who spends far too many of his waking hours gaming and streaming. Over the last 6 years or so we have gone through a few headsets from Corsair, SteelSeries, and others. All have cost at least double what this headset cost, and none have been of comparable quality in my opinion. Only used it on PC so far, so can’t comment on how it’s console performance is, and we will have to see what it’s longevity is like, but so far I would say that in terms of price to performance, this is top of the list so far.
I had messed around with some cheaper alternatives, and wish I hadn’t. I was simply looking for a functional headset for gaming, and not some audiophile’s dream. I arrived at this headset and was blown away! The audio jacks work just fine, but if you want the full performance, then you need to go with the USB adapter and set it up with Logitech’s G Hub. This is easy and worth every second. The audio jacks give you stereo, but G Hub gives you surround sound, and boy does it do what it says on the tin! The test set up creates sounds from the front, sides and back, and this is EXACTLY where it sounds as though they are coming from. Whichever reviewer said that the sound is OK but that the surround sound is unconvincing must have set the headset up incorrectly. From experience, this can happen when the multi-jack is not quite fully seated – you will stll get adequate sound, but the experience is disappointing. So press the jack in really hard to the USB adapter. I cannot fault the quality of the sound, and my only slight quibble is that the volume control is not great. But these cans are superb value for the price.
Great for the price
Had them for a few months for gaming and teams calls.
Teams calls can not fault them the included usb converter works great. Voice is clear and can hear everything. Can not comment on noise cancelation as quiet in my home.
Gaming again everything really clear usually have a 4-8 hour gaming session and are not uncomfortable.
The directional sound isn’t great but overall can’t complain for the price
Pretty good but slight issue
The first one i bought the mic was hissy and the left cup wasn’t working some times after 2 months. Contacted Amazon and they gave me a replacement, the microphone works and both cups work really well and I have had this for just over 1 month now. When it comes to professional grade equipment for either games or music this gaming headset is a solid 7.5/10 sound quality for music AND gaming. The volume controls are on the back and i use wired and software volume control but I would say its decently designed.
The mic is so easy to set up, it’s ready as soon as you plug in and mutes when you tuck it back into the headphones.
They’re comfy and tight fitting headphones, so they really cancel out distractions. Perfect for gaming or ignoring your hamster who’s using her wheel all night.
Why spend a fortune on a headset when you can get these?
I once owned a much older model of these back over 10 years ago – the sound quality on both the MIC and the headphones on those were fantastic, especially for the cost.
These headphones are just as good, the sound coming out of the headphones is crisp and high quality, the quality of audio the MIC produces for listeners is also fantastic and they often tell me how easily they can hear me and how good it sounds.
The headphones also provide a sound loop where the outside is also somewhat audible so you don’t get that same sound you get if you plug your ears with your fingers and talk – sort of a booming your voice makes when your ears are plugged (just plug your ears and talk and you’ll know what I mean). You can turn off this feature if you want to drown out outside noises by pushing the microphone into the upright position, this also turns off the microphone.
Plugs for the headset is either a 3.5mm jack or you can plug it into the supplied USB plug.
I remember the older model having an issue with the joint where the headphone attaches to the headband, it looks exactly the same as the older model so I expect that issue remains – as with anything, if you look after it it shouldn’t be a problem but I wouldn’t go throwing it around.
Again, the quality both of the microphone and headphones is amazing, I love them and considering the device isn’t wildly expensive it’s worth buying if you want quality but don’t want to pay ridiculous money for it.
There’s no LED lights or anything like that but who really cares? it’s not like you can see it when you’re wearing it and you’re only paying for a novelty at that poi
Solid Headset for a decent price.
In typical Logitech fashion it comes with a thin wire though. Which means that the lifetime of the product is quite low.
Still works for me after a year and a halve of use.
One of the best gaming headsets I’ve ever bought, the sound quality is excellent especially the surround sound and the bass is great, perfect for gaming and gives the experience of cinematic sound as well while watching any movie or tv show. You can download the app in your laptop or pc for this headset and can configure all the settings from there. The mic quality is the best as your voice goes through so clear that it feels real.
This is a good headset for pc gaming. I don’t think it is good for console as there is an echo. The Logitech software needed to set up the headphones is easy to use. The sound quality is good and the microphone is clear and loud. My favourite feature is the flip-to-mute microphone. The only downside is the build quality of some parts of the headset. Overall, comfortable and good sound for the reduced price.
Ok so I had to search far and wide; if you can hear yourself talking through the headset, install the Logitech software and turn down “sidetone”.
Quality wise, they’re heavy (to me) but I’ve only been used to cheaper 20 “disposable” headsets. I was blown away by the quality of build and sound.
Volume control – 3*
I’m used to, and prefer the controls on the lead. I knew this wasn’t the case for this but still thought to try it out.
The adjustment is behind your left ear; I don’t find this practical but where else to put it.
To mute your mic, you lift your “mic”; however it’s not truly muted…If you speak into it loud enough, the mic is still picked up.
There’s no indication whether you’re muted or not…You’ve just got to hope you are, and not forget to lift the mic.
Something as simple as a noise when you lower / raise the mic would’ve been sufficient.
I’d purchase this again, but next time a version with controls on the lead.
It is really good and I find 7.1 surround sound quite useful and nice in games but it is not really necessary, the noise cancellation is decent because if you have loud pc’s or consoles it can get rid of the sound when wearing it and it isn’t to an extent when someone is talking around you or calling you so you can hear them but it will not be as clear without the headset, it comfortable and I can wear it for long periods of time without getting uncomfortable but on a really hot day it can get quite warm, the mic though can only move up and down but I find it quite nice that you can flip it to turn it on and off but the mic quality isn’t that good but you can connect an external mic to it with an adaptor, NOTE: you have to use the USB type A adaptor to get the 7.1 surround and not the 3.5mm jack
I’ve had lots of headsets and actually bought these for a spare pair in the sale for 30. My main Corsair headset has a more pleasant sound if I’m honest however this headset is really good for games like call of duty, apex etc. It picks out footsteps from enemies far better than my more expensive corsairs. The sound is generally good but as stated not as pleasant as my corsair but due to the other benefits of this headset and the way it picks out enemies footsteps I’ve found myself using these for competitive gaming, they feel quite plasticky but are comfortable for several hrs use, the mic gets muted by a simply lift of the mic and the volume control is easy to use, my friends say my speech is very clear. They’re also quite loud, although some will miss the depth of sound so if you like a bassy sound over clarity these may not be for you.
When I first got my G432 headset and plugged it in, I have to be honest, my first impression was not great as I was not impressed with the sound quality at all. Eventually I managed to get it to a state where I am happy with it, but it took some work…
First off, I would recommend avoiding the aux cables and going with the USB adapter wherever possible, otherwise you’re just looking at a pretty underwhelming stereo headset. The 7.1 features are essential if you want to get your money’s worth out of your G432s, but they only work if you use the USB adapter and download Logitech’s G Hub software.
Just installing G Hub wasn’t enough to get my headset performing the way I wanted it though; after enabling surround sound in G Hub you’re given a variety of Equalizer pre-sets to chose from, however none of them sounded quite right to me so I had to take some time to set up a custom Equalizer and only then was I able to get the sound quality to where I wanted it.
Unfortunately, my woes with setting up the headset didn’t end there though, as the microphone was not registering any sound while using the USB adapter, so I had to do a google search to troubleshoot the issue (going by the number of results it’s a common issue) and it took a fair bit of digging around in Control Panel, testing various settings and options before I was finally able to get the microphone working through the USB adapter. I haven’t tested the mic too extensively but it seems fairly high quality and the flip up to mute feature is very convenient.
Now that I finally have everything up and running the way I want it, I must say I am quite happy with the overall performance of my G432s. I got them to replace a mid-range Sennheiser headset which unfortunately lost sound in one ear, and I’ve found the audio quality of the G432s to be at least comparable to the Sennheisers in most areas, and they even outperform them in some regards, particularly when it comes to bass and lower frequency sounds. I will say I’m not overly convinced by the surround sound aspect of the 7.1 features though; even in the test in their own software it’s not easy to differentiate between whether a sound is supposed to be coming from say, the front or the back right for example.
The build quality of the headset seems solid. The materials are nice quality and it feels sturdy without being overly heavy. The headset is comfortable to wear (though the swivelling ear cups take some getting used to) and the noise cancellation seems a lot better than my Sennheisers, with less audio leaking out if you have other people in the same room with you as well.
Overall I am happy with my G432s now, and I hope they last me a good few years… but it’s hard to say whether I would actually recommend them given the amount of hoops I had to jump through just to get them working the way I wanted. It’s definitely not the best option for less tech-savvy users, but if you have the patience and the know-how to set them up properly, I think the G432s are a decent headset for their price range.
I have the USB surround sound version and it works wonders, the G Hub software to configures EQs is nice, plus profiles per each game is nice.
Earcup center material is part of the headset and cannot be cleaned, annoying for those of us who get sweaty and they start to smell. Can only remove outer black rubber rings. Not inner coloured material over speakers.
Microphone mute function is a tad irritating because without a software mute there is a very audible “clunk” or “click” when raising/lowering it as the switch seems to be some kind of major lever system. You also hear a clunk while wearing the headset as it is right next to your ear.
The integrated volume roller is nicely located behind the ear but mine came and the texture of the roller wheel was rubbing on the plastic body of the headset, causing a scratching noise when adjusting volume, just some Quality Control issues, wore the plastic away eventually so all good now.
Can’t complain for an entry level headset. I Upgraded from my old Turtle Beach X12s which were prime in their day.
