Whether you’re immersed in intense gameplay or enjoying multimedia content, the G433 is poised to enhance your audio experience.

Nothing recreates a surround effect like a bunch of real speakers, but it really added a sense of depth and place to the creeping Typhon in Prey, and I could easily locate the origin of distant shots in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

In the mid-range, important for blocking out speech, they achieve about 9dB of isolation, which is about average. I found the suede-like earpads to be a bit more comfortable, and better at blocking out ambient noise better than the mesh, though neither set felt particularly plush on my head. Logitech has a single app that serves as the hub to control all its gaming products, from keyboards and mice to webcams and headphones.For the most part the visual design of the headset is very minimalist, which may be a huge plus depending on your taste. The Logitech G433 includes a detachable boom microphone that can be placed closer or further away from your mouth as required. I found the thin earpads and headband padding began to feel uncomfortable over long listening periods. They cater well to instruments and vocals with a good representation of the mid-range and a relatively balanced treble. After all, gaming headsets are designed for communicating with teammates and exploring the virtual world, not the real one, and few people will likely see them anyway.

It's a solid value, though it doesn't sound or feel quite as good as the Astro Gaming A10, our Editors' Choice. While the software is nothing new to me, since it is exactly the same software I use for my other Logitech hardware (such as my still-amazing G710+ mechanical keyboard), I do appreciate that not everyone will have it installed before they get the G433. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

I’ve reviewed more than a thousand different consumer electronics products including headphones, speakers, TVs, and every major game system and VR headset of the last decade. It’s a quality cable that feels sturdy with a good volume/mute clip that feels like it will last a while. This is a very simple addition, but one that is very welcome, especially if you have stubble or a beard. The Logitech G433 and the Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset are both very good wired gaming headsets, with the biggest difference between the two being their designs.

around sound element of the Logitech G433 is software emulated and requires the Logitech Gaming Software to function. Finally, while the unit we tested was black, we also appreciate the availability of multiple colors, including blue, red, and blue/black camo. We often criticize gaming headsets for their cheesy designs, but we’d always rather have something that sounds good first, and looks good second. As such, the default fabric earpads that it comes installed with by default, kept pulling at my stubble every time I shaved. The fabric you’ll find around the G433 is water-resistant in case you’re the kind of e-sport player who sweats during long sessions behind the mouse and keyboard.As I mentioned above, Logitech included an additional set of micro-fibre ear pads for those who do not like the feel of the mesh fabric. Like the G533 I recently loved, the 433 has a balanced, natural, clear sound profile with some gentle emphasis and sculpting throughout the frequency range. If you already bought the Logitech G433 you didn’t make a bad choice, but there are better options on the market if you’re looking for something that really delivers on being a quality gaming headset. This is one of the most complete packages I have seen in a long time and I absolutely love it as everything you need can be found right here. DTS Headphone:X technology with a USB sound adapter, but also includes extra cables that allow you to plug it into regular 3.
