The ear cups are shod with breathable cloth and foam, which ensure the end user’s comfort during marathon gaming sessions (or movie-watching / music-listening).īeing a headset, it includes a boom mic fixed on the left speaker.

The headset itself features a pair of 40mm drivers. When you take the G430 out of its box, you’ll find the headset itself, a USB dongle, and a rudimentary Quick Start guide. More important are the feature set and specs that the product is endowed with.Īccordingly, let’s have a look at the G430’s most salient features. Of course, a color scheme, no matter how attractive it is, probably isn’t the primary reason why anyone would choose one headset over another.

Sure, it’s still predominantly black, but you’ve got to love that G Series bright blue! What an eye-catching visual counterpoint! Bright blue trim, bright blue ear cups, bright blue cable sleeve… It’s safe to say that if the G430 is to rely on looks alone, it’s a winner right out of the box. Often, products are colored black with a dark shade of grey as a visual contrast.īut look at the G430. Almost everything in the computer hardware industry is in a shade of black or dark grey. It’s very refreshing to see such a colorful product. I saw it in its packaging, and immediately I thought that it was an interesting piece of kit. Logitech, though, sent Techgage one of its new G430 headsets to see if perhaps I could open my heart, mind, and ears to its latest attempt at offering an enjoyable surround sound experience.įirst impressions, as they say, are everything, and the G430’s were a bit stunning. My guess, though, is that such a thing would be beyond my budget’s reach. I’m sure that there is at least one surround sound set of cans that would fit the bill.

The reason for the prejudice has everything to do with the fact that I’ve yet to find a surround sound headset/headphone solution that’s satisfied me. I have a bias against surround sound headsets. I have to confess something right off the bat.
