Logitech "G430" A Critical Review.By Andre Lawrence
Update: 11-20-13
A professional gamer wrote to clarify what the benefit of a headset that's not completely sealed. Here's his comment and my original review follows below.
CS wrote:
"Just wanted to comment that the foam padding that leaks sound is intentional. As someone who uses completely sealed headphones (Ultrasone 780) I can tell you, the last thing you want for gaming is an airtight seal on your ears. You wanna let them breathe if you're going to use the headset a long time. This makes it very comfortable over time and reduces fatigue."
*** original review ***
I'm not a professional gamer but I do like playing games occasionally. This headset is a very, very nice compliment to online gaming.
First, the set comes large, over-the-head, headphone. Large foam cups on the left and right can drop down or swivel to the side at your convenience.
The input jacks--one for the mic and one for the headphone speakers are connected to a usb interface.
Then you have to go to Logitect's site and download the drivers from their support section. We have Windows 8 Pro but the site gives you option going back to XP.
This is a dynamic 7.1 stereo headphone w/ speaker. But, you can adjust the volume, stereo/ surround and EQ settings in the app that's installed.
*** Testing ***
After having a couple of weeks, the padding doesn't feel as secure as when I first tried them on. I only wear them for up to 2 hours at a time, but my guess is, if you're one of these gamers that doesn't leave her/his chair for hours and hours then you may notice that the sound bleeds through the gaps between the beautiful, but relatively thin foam padding and your ears.
If you enjoy the occasional gaming experience, you probably won't notice the difference between this model and a more expensive model.
*** Pro's and Con's ***
+ Lightweight headphone that you hardly notice.
+ Microphone is very strong.
+ Multiple Sound/ EQ settings
+ Price--In the range for what it offers.
+ Buttons are large and easy to access
4 stars!

Far More Than a Gaming HeadsetBy John N. Schear
This Logitech G430 is one fine headset and far better than just a gaming headset. It is full surround sound at its best even though it is only 2 well engineered speakers with more sound than I have ever heard from my other speakers from large Cerwin Vega to special Polk to really great Bose to the other 10 or so that gather dust. These are light and full bodied. I have had a Mike Post disk that I did not realize had all the different levels of sound coming out of my speakers. I know the argument for 2 speakers that cannot possibly replicate 7.1 sounds and logically I agree until I listen to the music. Every possible combination comes forth in either full rigor or as flexible as possible. On one SACD there is a small phrase where an audience patron listening to Beethoven's 9th Symphony has to cough. In the original listening to that segment on my Sony SACD player the cough cannot be heard but with these you think he or she is sitting about 4 rows down and you want to say 'hush.' In case it is not obvious, the sound is superlative but then you get so much more.
Earmuffs that are soft and sturdy without too much pressure nor wobble. Attached to the left earmuff is a decent directional microphone which comes is quite handy when having to give commands to the computer or gaming device. About 28" off the left earmuff is a well placed volume control and mike on-off switch. Add another 6' to 7' of cord and there is an audio and separate video connected to a computer or gaming device. Overall this is a well engineered device and expect quality output. I have found that the critical issue with this device as with many of not all the others is the quality of the source. Right now I am receiving my source via a Dolby connection and while it is only 5.1 it is far better through the G430 than through other outputs mainly because the source has superior quality. When I use this headset with a standard 'stero' source the output is admittedly weak and unlike a Dolby 5.1. One for certain this headset is giving my ears and mind a full workout and it is difficult to keep up with the changes but fully delightful.

Great soundBy Fishing Fool
First of all let me state that this headset does not have true discrete 7.1 surround sound hardware built-in. What I mean is it is the Dolby Headphone algorithm integrated into the software that simulates the surround sound experience when using stereo headphones. The headset is your average 2ch stereo headset with mic. It does not have multiple individual drivers in them like some of the very high-end surround sound headsets. The headset is analog but the package comes with a USB adapter which allows you to use a USB port instead of a mini headphone jack. The adapter is just a basic digital to analog converter.
With that said, the surround sound simulation sounds really good and the headphones do not hold back the sound quality at all. In fact the sound quality is quite good especially when using the customizable EQ to tailor the sound to your liking. One minor issue I've discovered is that the drivers in the headset are not powerful enough to produce the LFE channel without distortion at higher volume levels. On the other hand I did like the fact the settings for the headphones do not affect your speaker settings. For example your EQ settings only apply to the headphones which means when listening through your standalone surround sound receiver and speakers the headphone EQ is completely bypassed.
The headset itself is fairly basic...it's very lightweight which is good but it's mostly plastic so it feels cheap even though the build quality is very good. I'm not a fan of the color scheme myself, would've preferred all black ear cushions. The boom mic swivels up out of the way when you don't need it and the inline volume controller has a on/off switch for the mic. What's great is if you have a favorite pair of highend headphones/headset you could use it with the included adaptor and enjoy the same surround sound experience. Oh btw the software works in WindowsXP even though it's not listed in the description as an officially supported OS.
