Review: Amazing gaming headset - I spent multiple hours looking at the selection of headsets available on desertcart, and originally was going to pass on this one because of the reviews taking about how the microphone breaks easily or it's really quiet to other players, or how terrible the sound quality of it is. But after looking around, I did wind up getting this because of it's value, and the fact that I'm a Logitech fan. When it arrived I opened it right away to get gaming. It took a little bit of set up time, mainly a few minutes to download the LCore program from Logitech to play around with the settings of the headset, but within an hour I was ready to go. So the first thing I did was test out the simulated 7.1 surround sound feature. Changed up the audio settings on my game to playback in that format, and let me tell you I was not disappointed. You feel so much more immersed into the game with the surround sound versus just a stereo headset, and it worked just as well as any headset that has actual surround sound drivers in it. The sound quality is good, it's not as good as and professional grade set of studio headphones, but I wouldn't expect that out of a $70 gaming headset. For casual and even hardcore gamers, the sound quality is perfect for what it's intended for, playing video games. If you're planning on using them for listening to music, they work great for that too. Now onto what I had my worries with, the microphone. Ever since I've started using it, I've had no problems what so ever. I don't know why everyone else seems to be having issues with it. All of my friends can hear what I say fine, so it's not quiet. After recording myself and listen to the audio playback, it sounds as good as any microphone I've ever used, so I see no issues with it's recording quality. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now, and it's still working fine, so it doesn't break easy. Maybe I just got lucky with SuperMic, but I highly doubt it. The microphone is great and works exactly as it's supposed to. The headset is very comfortable as well. I wear it for multiple hours at a time as I'm a very serious gamer. The padding around the ears and on your head is really comfortable and so far has not caused my any pain even after playing for hours on end. The headset adjusts to big sizes too, I have a huge head that most other headphones squeeze down on at full extent and most hats will not fit on at all, and I can get this thing big enough to be loose on me, so there is no worries that this thing will be to small. My only complaint about this headset is the cord, which in my opinion is unnecessarily long. But then again, I'm playing with my laptop right in front of me. For those who are using it for console gaming, the extra length from your console to your chair is probably pretty nice. Overall this is an amazing gaming headset that I've had absolutely no issues with at all and would recommend to everyone :) TL;DR: Perfect headset with no issues, buy it.
Review: I bought this headset in 2017, and only just now needed to replace it. - I bought this headset back in August of 2017, and used it almost daily for 4-9 hours at a time. The sound quality has always been as good as the day I bought it, and the mic quality is still fantastic. Midway through 2020 I had to replace the removable padding in the headset because it was starting to come apart; it was a little tricky for the part that rests on the top of my head, but it's held in place and done brilliantly. The reason I had to replace the coverings is because after 4ish years it started crumbling apart on the headphones. I did experience the same problem that a few other people did, in that above where the cups rotate, the flat panel cracked. However, it never harmed the audio quality, or the mic. When the cracks got bad enough, I just put a little tape over that section of the headset and never had another issue with it. It was only on the left-hand side that it cracked, and never the right. I think my partner laid it down a little too hard when he moved the headset, and that's probably what caused it to crack. This headset also survived my dog when he was a very mouthy puppy that constantly tried to each any and all cords in sight, but that could be attributed to the fact I kept a closer eye on him after he ate my mouse cord and another headset. Today is April 15 2021, and I am only just now ordering a new headset because the rotating part of the left cup of my headphones slipped out of the hole, causing the left cup to swing freely and kind of flop down, or turn 360 degrees instead of laying in place around my ear. I think the sound blocking qualities of this headset are fantastic, because when I first bought this headset I lived in a 2 bedroom house with 13 people, several pets, and train tracks directly across the street from the house. In the past 6 or so months, I believe my mic has lessened slightly in quality. But, I can't say for sure because I primarily use the microphone during online class sessions, and in discord calls. In both discord and online school calls, everyone has almost always had connection issues, or sound quality problems themselves, and issues like those are usually fixed by hanging up and rejoining the call. I probably should have replaced my headset as soon as it cracked, instead of taping it; however, the quality really was good enough that I didn't feel the need. Even now, after taping the left cup of the headphones back in place, it's working perfectly for now until I get a new headset. But, I'm a cheap college student, and this is just my experience.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is the cable?**
A: 2.3-meter cable

**Q: IS this a USB headset?**
A: Yes and no. It has the standard mic and headset plugs, but it also comes with a USB dongle that those can plug into. The USB dongle is necessary if you want to take advantage of the Logitech software that offers the 7.1 surround.

**Q: is this headset worth 70 dollars**
A: Austin, for me and simply, yes, it is worth more than $70.  I am not a gamer, however, and just an old music fan and especially the multi channel sounds available with 5.1 or higher outputs.  I have my 'sound room' (AKA our TV room) set to 5.1 but with about 20 different speakers in different locations around the room.  In no instance can I replicate the output I receive from the Logitech G430.  It captures every sound I normally hear and on certain playback sounds I have never heard before.  If I were buying a headset for gaming I would attempt to find a cordless one first with no strong need for the G430 type of output.  But, as I said I am not a gamer and I can see where a 7.1 output could be fantastic.  At times the headset is well worth far more than $70 and if I had the same set in a cordless version I would be delighted if it works as well.  Additionally, I have several sets of cheap headphones and one set that cost over $100.  Not one of them matches the quality and performance of the G430.  I hope my reply added a different dimension to your investigation and if you decide on this set I think you will get the same level of entertainment as I have.  Good question and sorry for the bloviation, John

**Q: How does the ear cups feel? are they warm?**
A: Well the ear cups are a very nice mesh that keeps air going to your ears for coolness. They are warm after wearing them for a few minutes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap but works well.
*by K***A on June 24, 2026*

Breaks easily but some preemptive ductape can improve lifespan and at it usual sub hundred dollar price it can serve you well as a 7.1 headset. I've had two in the last ten years, My current is held on by wires and tape, new one is waiting but old one is only mostly broken and still sounds great, just bad plastic. I recommend if you want an entry level easy to use headset.
