The same fabric covers the earpads, which also feel a little light; the installed earpads can be swapped out for pads covered in a suede-like material, included with the headset.

The result is a comfortable and lightweight design that successfully blocks out a good amount of background noise. Depending on your system of choice, you’ll plug in either the USB cable (for PC or PlayStation 4), or the 3.The carrying case is a soft, zip-up pouch that comfortably holds the headset with the earcups folded flat. Installation and recycling are available on large items (large kitchen appliances and TVs over 40”) and can be selected during the checkout process. It seems more than adequately built to stand up to the rigors of gaming use, but I wouldn’t throw it against a wall or sit on it or anything.

Even when I shouted into it, my teammates could understand me (unfortunately, my neighbors probably could as well). 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. While the exterior design is fit to compete with the latest from Beats, as we discovered in our Logitech G433 gaming headset review, the company may have put a little too much effort into looks, and not enough into performance.

The G433, however, maintains the same exact color (or pattern, in the case of the blue camo version) all the way around, which makes them vastly more usable as walking-around headphones. The character dialogue and fighting effects are crisp and clear, but the bass-heavy electronic soundtrack comes through a bit timidly. You’ll need to connect to your PC through the included USB digital audio converter (DAC) to activate DTS Headphone:X.

The things I don’t like about this headset is the fact that the ear cups are rotated when placed on a desk. Gamers require immersive audio performance and for good reason as each new title brings ever greater sound design.With gaming headsets, a strong seal around the ears is important for keeping your gameplay in, and outside noises out.

You can use the mobile cable with consoles if you prefer the in-line mic, but the boom mic sounds better and the PC audio cable has a mute switch and volume dial, which come in handy. You can choose from one of six built-in EQ profiles (Flat, FPS, MOBA, Drop the Bass, Cinematic Gaming, or Communications), or build your own custom profiles.

And they both work with PCs, consoles (including Xbox One, PlayStation ® 4, and Nintendo Switch ™) and mobile devices.
