Logitech G735 Review | The Best Headset EXCEPT… (In-depth Review)

The Logitech G735 Aurora Collection Wireless Headset uses Lightspeed Wireless AND Bluetooth at the same time. Allowing you to hear AND balance both at the SAME TIME. Which is pretty neat. Additionally, they looks crisp AF, have incredible comfort as it is incredibly lightweight, and the earpads are soft and malleable. Additionally, there is a lot of movement for the earcups themselves. Sound quality is solid. Making it for a well-rounded albeit expensive headset.

WARNING: These do not work on PS5 via 2.4 GHz. What do you guys think of the price? Do you think it is worth it? I'd love to discuss. Honestly, I'm still LOVING the sound, look, and comfort of these. I was playing Horizon Zero Dawn last night with a different pair of headphones and then took those off to put these on and felt so much more immersed. They may not be the most accurate sounding but man do they make it feel like you are there.as Custom EQ Settings: 125 Hz = -2 250 Hz = 2 1000 Hz = 2 4000 Hz = 4 8000 Hz = 6

[@Z_3D]

Price has to do with materials. If you own the Apple AirPod max you’ll notice that they use them as inspiration for these headphones. Higher end materials result in higher prices. 😅

[@ThomasMuehler]

@@Z_3D While I agree that price and materials do go hand in hand, I don’t see this headset having higher quality parts than others at lower price brackets, but perhaps I’m missing something. I do own the AirPods Max and while I agree some of those materials help justify the cost even those are still way over what they should be for what you get. Personally, I find the drivers and sound quality to be in the $100 range. The cushions you could argue to a certain degree put it in the upper end as is the headband wrap. So, agree there. But have seen lower tier headsets with similar quality for a lot less. The paint is very good as well. Which helps justify upper end, but not premium price bracket to me. Microphone also comes in at the $100 - $150 range for me in terms of the ones I’ve tested. Yes, it is solid. I think $150 - $175 is justified. $225 I personally think is excessive for what you get. But I’m extremely interesting in hearing your thoughts on the matter. What makes you think this headset is using higher end materials over something cheaper? Or what justifies the cost in your opinion?

[@Z_3D]

@@ThomasMuehler I noticed the other ones in the gaming line up are all plastic based housing without the metal articulating band. I suppose I will agree with you after they arrive and I try them on and compare to my other headsets. I don't have anything that will provide mic input and ps5 compatibility out of the box. I saw them all at Akihabara mall in Tokyo and decided on these based on your review and my time trying them on in person. Hopefully the price will go down as the year passes. I've seen the other rgb option on best buys website for 50 dollars off!

[@Z_3D]

@@ThomasMuehler I can't really hear much on it. Ive turned it all the way up and raised the volume on the PS5. I'm really just astounded at how low it is. You were right. Not worth the price.

[@ThomasMuehler]

@@Z_3D You’ve definitely got me thinking a lot about the quality of components that I think I overlooked originally. I do appreciate that. As like you say the metal articulating band is better than most that are plastic. I doubt they will reduce in price and I’d be interested to hear what else you think and find on them once you get them in and get more familiar with them. Unfortunately, they DO NOT work on PS5. As your findings are similar to my own and many others in my comments thread. I’m pretty sure it is due for licensing. Where since Logitech didn’t pay Sony (my assumption not confirmed) they artificially limit the sound to be exceedingly low and unusable. Even though they come up on the PS5 as working correctly. Which is dumb. However, you could plug it in via 3.5 mm Aux into your controller and it should work normally (but you’ll need a 4 pole aux cord so mic will work). Bluetooth also may work (I’m not sure if PS5 even has Bluetooth) but you’ll notice some latency with it. Otherwise it only works on PC (3.5 aux, Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless) and phone (via Bluetooth). Where you’ll notice volume is just fine. I missed it too as they don’t mention official support for consoles. Again, not sure why they chose not to have these work on console. Which just reinforces my opinion that I think Logitech totally dropped the ball on this headset and line of peripherals.

I really appreciate how in depth your review is without it feeling like an essay :)

I appreciate the kudos. Thanks for taking the time to let me know.

[@corpsious]

Great review, thanks for being so thorough.

[@Tokkiix]

Just bought this headset and I love it, sound quality is not as rich as to the HyperX cloud alpha (my old ones) but I can bare with that considering they are super pretty especially now that I stumbled upon your video and your EQ preset helped SOOOO much, thank you so much for that! a life saver!!

[@ThomasMuehler]

That is amazing news. I'm glad you are enjoying them so much and the EQ profile helped. Thanks for taking the time to let me know!

[@angrhii]

I've had this headset for over a month now, and I adore it. As a female gamer I find other headsets are waaaay too big for my head and ears and are loose and uncomfortable, these are perfect! A huge problem that I've had with other headsets is it being a bit too noise cancelling and I find myself shouting, these are perfect and dont make me feel deaf to my own voice. They are so soft and comfortable and light even with glasses on, no creaking so far and they are fantastic on the go with a huge bluetooth range. The GHub is great for customising the lights on the headset and the battery life is exceptional!! Now the cons, the mic is absolutely awful, even with the post processing presets. Its just awful, no ifs or buts about it. And of course the price, its so pretty and comfortable but shouldnt be more than 150 in my personal opinon.

[@ThomasMuehler]

Loved the rundown, all great points. Thanks for taking the time to share! Totally agree with you, I think this headset would be great at $150.

[@Desilv]

So how is it after 2 months ? I really need some white clean headphones for gaming mine Razer barracuda got some problems wich is kinda annoying.. and my channel is mostly white and blue as my logo so I find them so refreshing.. do you stream or make video’s yourself as well ?

[@jbizzy508]

All of the Logitech g series headsets are very comfy even the 435 which are small but still very comfy but that mic popping is excessive it was none stop the mics on the other headsets that I own are so much better in terms of that. I'll still use em to game but that's it no streaming with those for me

[@sososleeepy]

I have a small head too and deal with the same issues you mentioned, which is what drew me to these (aside from how pretty they are lol) but the mic is really horrible (especially for how much they cost). I currently have Steelseries Arctis 7+ which have an okay mic but it retracts which I adore so much and don't know if I could live without now. They were too big originally but I got thicker earcups from amazon and it solved that issue perfectly, though it can cause some discomfort with glasses after a long time (but that's usually a good signal that I've been on my computer too long lol). I just wish they were all white. They are really sleek and minimal and feel super high quality but the aurora headset definitely wins in aesthetics. I guess ill just have to go try on the auroras in store, but I cant tell if they would be a more expensive downgrade. They're so pretty though I wish I could combine the best of both😭

[@SushiWolfo]

I have the G733, and was looking for an alternative as the mic seems to not pick up as well now, and I worry about when the elastic band looses elasticity and would rather have a more sleek looking headset, has anyone here made the switch? What do you think of both headsets?

[@jeslynlane]

Thank you for this review! Someone else reviewed these and said you cant turn the lights off and the battery life wasnt great. Appreciate your reviews!

Oh, thank you for your comment! I'm in the pretty same scenario as you, so I believe this headset is gonna be worth it for me :D

[@therewillbestars8118]

I will get mine tomorrow and I really hope your EQ will help a lot as I play DBD a lot, and hearing is significant there. but I guess I'll be fine if only this headset will do better than razer barracuda, which I use now. thanks for review, it's really helpful

[@ThomasMuehler]

I would love to get your opinions once you try it out a bit. I was testing them out again the other day and continue to be on the fence about the sound. As at times it is super immersive and I like it a lot. And other times I just don’t like it. lol

[@therewillbestars8118]

@@ThomasMuehler I'm still testing it in game, seems like nothing special, but nothing disappointing as well for now. but the music is hella good and your EQ is the best I found for myself, big thanks! I tried out g pro x wireles the other day, had a white noise, so had to return it, sound was terrible from the box, but had a potential to be awesome if you play with EQ or find a nice one. forsome reason stock profiles in ghub sounded terrible for g pro x. and 735 is kinda ok from the box, EQ just makes it much better. and for some reason even stock profiles are not that bad for 735, both mic and sound. and my ears finally fit into the ear pads, my old razers were too small. so I'm happy with this headset at the moment and glad I decided to return g pro x. maybe there was a defect, but 735 is a win for me

Any chance for more in depth instructions on how to change the settings for them to be good for gaming? thanks for the Review!

[@ThomasMuehler]

What would you like to know? 1. You plug in the headset to your PC (wireless dongle). 2. Download/open Logitech G Hub. 3. Click the headset -> Sound -> then add custom EQ, make adjustments, then click save. All done. 4. I'd recommend trying my own EQ setting and if you don't like it going with your own. 5. Make sure you AREN'T using surround sound.

[@disneyyy]

Thank you for the detailed review! I recently ordered these headphones, then returned them, because of the crackles in the speakers. I couldn't find a solution on the Internet, but you suggested that the problem is in USB 3.0, so I think I'll order them again

[@goboldly5700]

I picked up a pair on sale for $80 off today, so I'm happy. I really wish the headset had connectivity via the USB cable, but alas I learned that the USB cable appears to only be for charging. My Corsair has ability to connect via dongle, usb cable, or Bluetooth so I do kinda miss that option. I don't use 3.5mm connections anymore. I still have to experiment more with this headset, but so far seems ok. My intent is to primarily use it for Teams, Zoom, and training video watching on the PC, and perhaps to use the Bluetooth for calls & listening to music from my phone. I love the feel wearing these. Very comfortable. Probably the best I've used in recent memory. They look amazing as well.

[@ThomasMuehler]

I found it wild that USB is only for charging. As that doesn't make sense to me. Especially, for the price. If you remember to update me I'd love to hear how it works out for you with Teams and so on. As I'm getting a lot of comments who want to use it for the same thing and would love to hear how it works from a real world perspective so I can share it with them. Definitely very comfortable and are one of the most attractive headsets I've seen. And for $80 off I think you got it at a good price for what you get. But again, looking forward to hearing your findings if you care to get back to me.

[@Denauticat]

This was the exact reason I looked up a review of the headset as I just got them during Prime Day for a lot off as well, making them well below the 200 price and more in the range of 150 aka their worth. Now, I realize the USB is only for charging as confirmed by this comment thread... :( Is there a way to maybe have them charging AND usable at the same time? Another cord purchase perhaps?

[@itsnayvi]

I'm seriously considering replacing my A50's with these (they're too heavy and starting to die) but the $230 pricepoint is hard to justify. The G735s were the most comfortable and aesthetic out of what I tried (I wish HyperX had more color options) but they aren't compatible with PS5/xbox, seems like a step down in sound quality, and the mic sounds horrible (I use another mic anyway but I'd expect it to sound better for this price). I'll probably wait for a deal.

[@ThomasMuehler]

Totally agree with all points. Aesthetic and comfort are great. Sound quality is in general disappointing, especially in comparison to the price point. And compared to the A50's (which I think are one of the best sounding wireless headsets I've tried) it is definitely a step down. Same with the microphone as again the A50 mic is better. But the A50 kind of got cut off at the knees with the optical port not existing on consoles for some time now. As the USB just doesn't provide the same level of audio quality. Also, don't understand how Logitech would charge $230 for a PC only headset and not include consoles. I guess you could technically use Bluetooth but latency may be an issue. Anyways, main point is it seems like this headset you take a lot of hits just to have excellent comfort and aesthetics. Which is a real shame. As it is soo attractive.

[@GFG2gifted]

Your a50s are superior in every way. Don't downgrade. 🤦‍♂️ There are few headsets/mic that are better. You'd have to go with a stand alone mic and Sennheiser pair of cans to get better audio performance. The g735 we're just gifted to my lady yesterday. They sound great, but definitely not better than Astros.

[@solasolar1]

I bought this for my daughter, which she wanted with the aurora collection, and a much cheaper headset, also from logitech, for my son (G635). I tested them both out. First of all, the G635 sound quality is so much better. Second, I'm still trying to get the mic for the G735 to work, which I am doing right now and why I'm watching this at all. I'm pretty disappointed and as a female gamer myself, feeling a little bit like this is a jab at women for not being able to know good quality sound, and that it's not just working right out of the box like the cheaper one, but maybe that's just me.

[@ThomasMuehler]

I completely agree with you. They market it hard for women while having it at a premium price tier and you get meh results from it. Which I think does come across as a slap in the face. As they could have made a fantastic product for an underrepresented demographic. But instead it feels like a cash grab which is frustrating. What issues are you having with the microphone? Perhaps I can help?

[@solasolar1]

@@ThomasMuehler Oh thanks! I got it working on my computer. I seemingly just needed to reboot to get it to pick up. Tonight we'll see if my daughter can get it to work on her computer. She gave up on it and asked me to try on mine. Fingers crossed.

Hey!! Loved this video it's very informative!! i just wanted to ask, i have the Razer Kraken Analog Gaming Headset. Would this Logitech be an upgrade in terms of audio etc or not? Thanks!!

[@ThomasMuehler]

I tried a Razer Kraken a long time ago. I'm not sure how they have improved on them or not. So, I'm not sure how they would compare. I find this headset to be a mixed bag. I'd read through the comment section. As there are quite a few people who have chimed in with their opinions. I would definitely only get it on sale. As full retail I don't think it is worth the price. I'm leaning that you would see an improvement with sound quality. Especially, with my preset. But I say that hesitantly. As each of our ears are different. And I'm not quite sure what Sound Signature you tend to enjoy. If the Kraken's are the same as they have always been then the bass is overwhelming. Where this will have less bass. But hopefully more treble and mids. If you do end up picking them up I'd love to hear your thoughts.

[@ThomasMuehler]

Excellent idea. Funds are tight for me right now so I'm not sure if that will be done. However, I like that idea a lot and if I can do it I will. I will say in general from my testing of Logitech headsets and what I'm seeing on other reviews Logitech headsets tend to not be all that good. Are about C Grade across the board. SteelSeries tends to be well received. Personally, I think their Arctis Nova line is pretty good. Especially, the top of the line Arctis Nova Pro WIreless. I enjoyed the Corsair HS80 Wired a lot. It also comes in wireless but I haven't tried that variant. Razer appears to be hit or miss. Going with Sennheiser (which is now under a different name that I forget) are always excellent. HyperX also tends to be very good.

[@ThomasMuehler]

No, I don't think it would be the better one to get. I think the Arctis Pro is the superior headset all around. And that's coming from someone who isn't a huge fan of the Arctis Pro. "Amazing" and "Sounding" are not two words I would use to summarize this headset. I'm not saying it is terrible but definitely not top-tier. I'm not aware of a whole lot of white headsets so if that is the main criteria I think you've probably found one of the best already with the Arctis Pro.

[@v1qqq31]

Did you Buy it? I am choosing at steelseries arctis pro or g735

[@heatherz4478]

I got these and I absolutely love the feel of them BUT I'm having a horrible issue with the audio crackling out. It's only on my PC too, I use these regularly with my work laptop on calls and with music throughout the day without the extra adapter. But when it comes to my PC it's like it won't keep a solid connection and I haven't been able to find any reason for it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, disconnected & reconnected the bluetooth, and even with it physically plugged in with the cord it came with to my PC it still crackles. It's driving me up a wall and I can't seem to find any post about anyone else having this issue. If you have an pointers that would be wonderful.

[@ThomasMuehler]

I'm not sure exactly how you've got them setup. So, I apologize if I go over something you've already tried. It sounds like you've done a lot of the things correctly. But looks like you are using it through Bluetooth instead of the 2.4 GHz wireless. Just FYI, the USB cord is only for charging so it will still be relying on the wireless connection. Which is why it still crackles. If you plugged it in with a 3.5 mm cord (with the headset off) and still had crackling then it is a defect with the headset. But I think that is unlikely seeing as it works just fine at work. Making me thing this is an interference issue. USB 3.0 can cause interference. Making it if you have this headset connected via Bluetooth via a dongle or via the 2.4 GHz wireless dongle directly in a USB 3.0 port attached to your computer that can be spitting off a lot of interference causing the drops. This is mitigated by using the included charging cable/extender dongle to create as much distance from your PC as you can. Ideally away from anything else electronic within reason. I would also recommend using the 2.4 GHz dongle over Bluetooth. As it is going to have a better connection and should provide higher quality audio with less latency. If you have Bluetooth built into your PC's motherboard, depending on the quality of that motherboard, and the version of Bluetooth, it could also be putting off a lot of interference which isn't happening at work. The fix for this would be using the 2.4 GHz wireless or I guess you could technically buy a new Bluetooth Adapter (which I don't recommend). Last, you could always use the headset hardwired via a 3.5 mm aux cord. But if you were to do that make sure you get a 4 pole one as that will allow you to still use your microphone. But then depending on your PC you may still need a 3.5 splitter (if your PC has the microphone and normal sound port separated instead of a single port). If none of that works let me know.

SAME i even got the pair replaced and SAME issue still persists!

[@krislynka]

Just purchased on amazon, they haven't arrived yet so I can't say how I like them, however they were the only headset I found that was so versatile. I'll be using them primarily for narration and wanted something with the ability to connect to my Blue Yeti mic via 3.5mm jack, so the noticeably crappy mic won't be an issue. (I'm also not at all pleased that the 3.5mm aux cable wasn't included) I also like the ability to connect to more than one source and adjust the volume independently, AND that it matches my whole Pink/white workstation theme with really cool RGB effects... Honestly, if any other headset were able fulfill those needs for less, I'd buy them. If they exist, tho, I haven't found them. Since this is the ONLY headset I found with those features, looks like I'll deal with the hefty price tag.

[@ThomasMuehler]

Love that you know what you're looking for. I am bummed for you that it severely limits your options. The only other White peripherals I'm aware of are from Razer. Which depending on how much you like/dislike these may be the only other option for you that MAY work. But I'd love to hear your thoughts on them once you do get them in and try them out. Seeing as I'm still on the fence about this product. Having other peoples opinions is greatly beneficial for myself and others I speak to.

Thank you for the great review! I was going to get this to use with my PS5, and also for discord. So glad I havent bought it yet. Can you recommend something as comfortable as this one? But better sound quality and compatible with PS5. Thanks!

[@ThomasMuehler]

I haven't tried a lot of gaming headsets so my recommendations are limited. Of the ones I've tried I haven't like too many of them. 1. Logitech G535 is very comfortable with good/solid sound (but nothing to write home about) microphone is solid as well. But again more middle of the road. 2. Astro A30. I haven't tried this one yet. I will be getting one but waiting for it to arrive. But I have high hopes for this one. As it looks like it will be very similar to this one but work on every console and hopefully be better with sound and microphone. Same price point. So, honestly that would be the one I would recommend at this time. But could be terrible. 3. Astro A40/A50 are always a solid bet. I have been using my A50's for a long time and still think they are one of the best headsets you can buy. However, in my review of them (and the pinned comment) I go over the issues with them. Mainly being that they use an optical cord to get the best sound which modern consoles don't have so that means you need to figure out a way around that. If you are playing on a TV and it is modern then it likely has a optical port that would work. But as you can probably tell from my comment already there is work to be done to get them to work correctly with questionable QA which makes it a miss for most people. 4. The Corsair HS80 Wired is the only headset that I've tried that I absolutely love. Comfort is probably the worst thing about it but I still find it to be very comfortable (but not as comfortable as any of the above. But the microphone is seriously incredible (the best I've ever used on a headset) and sound quality is also really good. However, it isn't fully supported on console. I know they work (sound wise) but not sure about microphone wise (but I thought that worked too but I would double check if you go down this road). They also have a wireless variant that got good praise but I haven't tried them. 5. Sennheiser Game One is also one that I've really enjoyed all around. But comfort again isn't the best. And it is wired. 6. Outside of that I start to get into more headphones (which is what I use to game most of the time) along with a separate microphone. 7. I've heard good things about the newest SteelSeries Nova series and the G Pro X.

[@diandramonami]

Hi thank you for the recommendations! I thought about it, and checked all the reviews, I think I’m gonna go with Logitech G735 for my ps5 because its looks so good and comfortable! Do you think the sound quality will be better if I use your EQ settings?

[@ThomasMuehler]

@@diandramonami The G735 doesn't work on PS5. The volume is too low making it unplayable. Which is perhaps the thing I hate the most about it. As I really wish it would work as then I'd recommend it more often. As for your second question. I'd go with whatever the stock sound settings are with a game you know well then try my EQ settings and then see which one you prefer and go with the one that works the best for your ears.

[@velvetthundr]

How do you compare this to the G Pro X Wireless in terms of sound quality and mic quality?

[@ThomasMuehler]

Unfortunately, I haven't tried the G Pro X wireless so I can't comment on the differences. However from some of the other reviews that I've watched they've said that the G pro X wireless sound quality is better as it is more gaming focused. I have no idea what that actually means though. Also I don't know how close you could get with this headset to that with your own custom EQ. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

[@critter18]

I asked for these for Christmas or my birthday (don’t remember) as I was using a hand me down wired razor headset. I’ve had these for somewhere over a year. I find them to be comfortable and they don’t shake off my head, but I have a small head. They have, perhaps, a few barely visible marks but that’s really my fault. It’s otherwise still clean. Mind you, I’ve been storing them under my desk, on the floor. (I really should find a different solution…) Having little reference, I think the sound quality is fine and the mic quality is just alright. But I maybe use the mic like a couple times a week for discord or zoom. I connect them via bluetooth to my MacBook so I don’t typically use the Blue Voice features in GHub. I have never used the LightSpeed and bluetooth at the same time and have no reference for the audio mixing. The battery life lasts my use about two weeks but closer to one week with more use. They charge fast enough for me. The main game I play is Minecraft. If you’re not playing audio for a long enough time, they will shut off to conserve battery. This is nice when I forget to turn them off but could be annoying if you are only using the mic.

If it was there, it was very mild where I didn't notice it. Also, that hiss/white noise can occur depending on custom EQ tuning if you have a certain frequency tweaked too high. That last sentence was more just an FYI.

I just got this headset and I like it, but sometimes the audio cuts off for a second (don't have much tech stuff in my room) and I'm still trying to find a proper eq preset. Could you maybe upload the preset in the app so we can download it? :)

[@ThomasMuehler]

For some reason some interference is likely going on creating the signal from your headset to your receiver to stop talking to each other for a second. I'd recommend trying to move the extender dongle closer to your headset and away from any USB 3.0 devices (if applicable). As for the EQ preset I have no idea how to do that. Also, not sure where I would upload it to be downloaded. So, I'm going to respectfully decline on that. You'll have to just do it manually. I think I have it listed in my description as well.

Unfortunately, there is no fix for low volume on the PS5. Unless if you plug it into the controller and use it wired. Or if the PS5 has Bluetooth (not something that I've ever tried) that would probably work as well, but haven't tried so again can't confirm. As Sony or Logitech due to licensing (my assumption not confirmed) purposefully doesn't work on PS5. I haven't tried Xbox as I don't own one.

In Logitech G Hub under the lighting you'd either pick "default" or I think it is the "Pastel" or "Paint" or something like that. I don't remember the exact name and am too lazy to download the software and check.

[@sscarlettsallow]

Please help, I'm unsure between this one (the aurora headset) or the Logitech G733. Which one should I buy, what do you recommend between the two?

[@ThomasMuehler]

I have not tried the logitech G733, so I can’t really tell you how they compare. However, I have tried to G335 and G535, which are similar to those. I found the comfort to be excellent. Along with the build quality. The RGB is meh. Microphone quality was adequate/good. Sound quality was treble focused that lacked bass. I found them to be good competitive headphones as they have good directional quality, and I could pick up on several audio cues, such as reloads and footsteps. But in general came across as kind of flat and surgical sounding. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But definitely comes down to personal preference and not the typical consumer sound that people tend to enjoy. So that really comes down to what you were looking for personally. I found that the G735 (This headset) is also very comfortable. Definitely has better aesthetics. Microphone quality is not as good as you could clearly tell from the review. Again, your call if that is good enough. If you were using an external microphone, then that’s a non-issue. I do think that the sound on these is better for most people. As it just has more oomph. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is good for the price. I think if this headset was cheaper at around the $100-$150 mark then it would be excellent. But since they’re asking 229 I expect it to perform a lot better since it’s at the premium price category. You also gain Bluetooth and that whole audio balancing act. Which may or may not be something you’re looking for. Additionally I do believe that the G733 may work on consoles as the other two headsets that I mentioned do. Whereas this one does not. Personally, if money is not an issue, I find that I prefer the logitech G735 over the logitech G335 or G535. As I do think comfort is about a wash. Aesthetics are a definite win to the G735 along with sound. But the microphone quality is probably better on the other ones but may be a close wash as well. So it’s really hard to say. As none of these headsets are particularly great. I do like the corsair HS80 wired. I haven’t tried the wireless, but I’ve heard it’s really good as well. So that would probably be my recommendation over all of these. But if you’re dead set on these two, I would do the G735. Whatever you choose, I would love to hear your thoughts on them. Once you get them in and try them out. As that also helps me with recommendations.

[@stanleyli2774]

I'm here because I bought the G733, it's good for the price. Volume is SUPER low, have to sometimes turn it up to 100 to watch some movies. Sound is decent, comfort is amazing. It's light, and build is solid. The buttons are cheap and sometimes i feel like i'm pressing onto some plastic toy that is imitating buttons. but it works, range is awesome, microphone (unpopular opinion) is really good with blue voice configuration.

Hello thank for doing a good review on this. At the duration 6:35 about the 3.0 receiver being interfere a lot from other connections and using the extender to avoid the problem. When you said mentioned about using the dongle extender. I don't understand what you mean by extra dongle, as in the other dongle that connects to the wire to recharge the headphones? If So, wouldnt that become wire and not wireless anymore? Because the only dongle I see is the retriever. Hope this make sense. Thank you

[@ThomasMuehler]

By 3.0 I mean USB 3.0. The extender dongle is the Female USB C to Female USB A adapter that is included in the box. Where the male USB-C charging cable plugs into the headset for charging, otherwise, it plugs into the extender dongle, while the other end plugs into your PC. Where the wireless USB male adapter (receiver) is also plugged into. If you aren't getting noises or having issues then you can just keep it plugged into the USB 3.0 port on your PC and skip the dongle altogether. But it is recommended to use one to get the best experience possible. Does that make sense? Did I answer your question?

hey!! i’m thinking of getting this collection as a first timer for upgrading my gear in general! i normally play “comfy”, plot heavy, immersive games and was wondering if these headsets (or collection in general??) is worth it?? i don’t have a headset currently and i’m just using some $25 keyboard and a mouse that was gifted to me 😅 also i use a pc i really love how this looks!! and i’m not that heavy of a gamer and my multiplayer goes as far as apex and minecraft lol, so if you don’t think this collection is worth it what would you recommend instead?? (money isn’t an issue)

[@ThomasMuehler]

I would say that our gaming interests are very similar. As my preference is plot heavy, immersive games as well but tend to play a lot of competitive games due to friends and lack of options on the former. With that said I think that with my sound preset that this headset would do a good job at what you are looking for. As I thoroughly enjoyed my playthrough of Horizon Zero Dawn with them. However, I continue to think that this headset is overpriced for what you get and have a hard time recommending it. If you can get it on sale then it is an easier recommendation. As for the rest of the collection. 100% absolutely NOT worth it. The keyboard is average, and the mouse is terrible - again for the price. They are perfectly adequate. But personally, I don’t like to pay top tier pricing for adequate. But everything is going to be an upgrade over what you have already. So you’ll see an improvement. Also, aesthetic wise they are some of the most attractive peripherals I’ve ever seen. Going with what you will be happy with is the best option. If we are taking money out of the equation my recommendation would be: Mouse: Razer Viper V2 Pro or Razer Deathadder V3 Pro or Logitech G Pro X Superlight. Keyboard: Corsair K70 PRO (not Mk.2) w/ OPX switches. Either the full size or TKL (depending on your preference). Or if you enjoy a small keyboard and willing to wait Wooting 60HE. Headset: Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. All of those are going to be some of the best-in-class peripherals. More reasonable pricing: Mouse: Lamzu Atlantis (or any of their mice), Logitech G Pro Wireless (over superlight as it will be on sale more often and is essentially the same but more buttons, RGB, and heavier), Razer Viper Ultimate (often on sale for $60, performs than all other mice other than other Razer mice), Razer Deathadder V2 Pro (Same as the Razer Viper Ultimate an the last generation of the Viper V2 Pro/Deathadder V3 Pro), Razer Deathadder V3 Pro WIRED (if you like palm mice and don’t mind a cord), Steel Series Aerox 3 Wireless. Keyboard: Corsair K70 RGB Pro still. Headset: Corsair HS80 Pro Wired. Probably the best overall sound in a headset that I have tried. While having an unbelievably good microphone. There is a wireless variant but I haven’t tried it. Rig 800 Pro is a good option as well that is wireless. But make sure if you have a console you buy the right version.

@@ThomasMuehler !!!!! thank you so much for such a detailed reply!! i’ll definitely look into everything you’ve suggested!! im sorta bummed this collection didn’t match the price if you know what i mean, especially since it was marketed towards females and wanting to be more inclusive. i feel a little left out still, the quality isn’t worth the price and they chose to focus more on looks :/ why not have both an aesthetically pleasing set WITH great quality all around that’ll match the price set such a shame that they finally have something made and marketed with us females in mind be so lacking, it’s a hard let down

[@ThomasMuehler]

​@@goodystyle60 I completely get what you mean. It's a huge letdown and I'm definitely right there with you. As it almost comes off as, hey here is an untapped market that we can charge an arm and a leg for. But since they are women they won't care about quality and only care about aesthetics. A bit extreme of a viewpoint and I'm sure that's not their point. But as you say there are very few peripherals aimed and made for women. When one finally drops and it is disappointing it hits extra hard. I would have made sure they were bomb not only in aesthetics but performance as well to capture that market and satisfy that target demographic. But alas, maybe next time. I have had multiple women comment on this who have bought the headset and none of them have been upset at the quality. Especially, when they get them on sale. Also, a keyboard tends to be a keyboard. The keyboard itself would still be a good option. You are paying a premium for the look. But aren't really sacrificing a lot of performance. As for your use case I don't think 8,000 Hz polling is going to be significant (Corsair K70 Pro). Nor is the Analog switches on Wooting 60HE. But that comes down to your preferences. But bottom line I think the keyboard is probably the best peripheral they have in the collection and I'd definitely get it if you enjoy the TKL style. I think one of them is wireless as well which can be nice to have. But definitely skip the mouse. There are a lot better out there.

[@samanthajean808]

I know these are marketed as wireless but I wanted to get these for work. Work doesn't allow anything that's wireless incase you're with a client and (the off chance) something dies. Can this be used plugged in to USB? I was also looking at the Krakens but they are too big for my tiny head, I look like a child fighter pilot. Also, we're not allowed to upload any software to the company computers so messing with the EQ isn't an option.. It looks like you can cycle through some default RGB on the headset itself?

[@ThomasMuehler]

A child fighter pilot had me rolling. Absolutely hilarious. hahaha. The Krakens are HUGE. It can be plugged in via USB for charging. But DOES NOT come up as source for your computer to use so will not work via USB. The only way to use them work wired is through the 3.5 mm connection. I did try that, and I was able to get sound with the headset on or off. However, I don't have a 4 pole 3.5 mm aux cord (which is required for the microphone to work) so I wasn't able to test that and see if the microphone would work. For some moronic reason they do not include a 3.5 mm cord with the headset (despite the ludicrous cost for it). So, it would be an additional cost. Also, you can save the EQ and lighting via Logitech G Hub. Which then persists even without the software. The only way that I know how to change lighting is that if you double tap the power button it will turn on or off the RGB lighting. But I don't think there are any other buttons to customize it onboard. Unless if I explained something in the video. And obviously if the headset is powered off no RGB. I also noticed that there was a lot of what I call "cable talk" when the 3.5 mm was plugged in and the headset was ON. Meaning when I would bump the cable I could hear that in the left earcup where it is plugged in. This was reduced when the headset was OFF but still easily noticed. Making me think the sidetone where the microphone is may be picking up that movement and noise and boosting it. Which could be annoying for daily use. Volume wheel appeared to work when the headset was on along with the side tone. But when it is powered off the side tone didn't work. Which is nice as that means the headset won't die on you if you have it hardwired. When it is powered off I am unsure of the microphone works. As again I can't test that. Conclusion: I'm not sure if this would be a good option or not. I think it would be plenty comfortable for all day use. Also, with it not needing power when hardwired via 3.5 mm would work for your use case. However, I worry about A. If the 4 pole 3.5mm work would for the microphone. B. It is a closed back headset meaning when the headset isn't on it causes some noise reduction and often people will talk louder because they can't hear themselves making it so it may be annoying to your co-workers. This is mitigated by powering on the headset as the side tone then works and works extremely well. But I'd be worried about a possible issue if the headset were to die on a conversation if that would momentarily mess up settings on your PC. I don't think that would happen as the source itself isn't changing just the volume. C. Microphone quality while not terrible isn't great. May be better hardwired. And is probably to pair with a lot of other cheaper headsets. But has me slightly concerned.

[@josealvarenga7065]

I need some kind of advice because I bought these and I plugged in the dongle into my PS five and the sound is extremely low no matter if I adjust my settings in my PS five or max out the volume on my headset the sound is completely low and I can’t seem to get it to crank up. I have no idea what to do and I’m about to return this headset.

[@ThomasMuehler]

So, for some reason Logitech limits the volume of their headsets for PS5 unless if they are "officially supported', which these are not. Therefore, you get sound that is extremely low despite everything being read correctly. If I had to guess, Logitech/Astro didn't want to pay PS5 a fee to allow their headsets to work on PS5. And since PlayStation is kind of snobby they don't let headsets that don't pay that fee work. So we the consumer lose.

[@lynu3128]

[@ThomasMuehler]

I am so sorry that the headset isn't working for you as intended. Especially right after your b-day. Happy late birthday. I hope outside of this it was a good one. As for your question, my only things that I can think of for how to get it to show up in G-Hub is to 1. Make sure you are plugged in with the included USB-A to USB-C cable directly to the headset (over the wireless dongle). If that works make sure to update the headsets firmware if applicable. 2. If that doesn't work ensure the G-Hub software is up to date. 3. If it appears up to date Uninstall/Reinstall G-Hub. 4. If that doesn't work makes sure the drivers of the headset itself are up to date. (windowsreport.com/logitech-g-hub-not-detecting-headset/) 5. If that doesn't work I would reach out to Logitech Support. As I have no idea. As for sound. Depending on exactly what you mean by "awful" it could be; 1. That the headset's sound profile just doesn't sound good to you. I personally was not impressed with it as. But it was more meh than awful. Others in my comment section haven't been impressed either. I do recommend trying the preset that I mention in the video as it made a huge difference for me. For that check the pinned comment and/or description of this video to see if that helps (once you get G-Hub working). 2. Do you own EQ setting to see if that helps. 3. It could be defective. Especially, if you never get G-Hub to work. Unfortunately, I found this to be a miss (like the mass majority of Logitech headsets as of late). Which is extra frustrating seeing how heavily it is marketed towards women. I'd love to hear if you got it working and if you changed the preset if it was helpful or not. If not you won't hurt my feelings.

[@theoal5718]

Listening to you through the video i can tell that the stock mic is dogshit, at least you have the option to switch to "blue" setting. I am a G733 user looking for a replacement, mainly because of the wireless range of the headset. I move somewhat about 7 meters away from dongle with a wall in between, and they start disconnecting right away. Does this 735 have the same issue?

[@ThomasMuehler]

Sorry for the late reply. I had to actually remember to test it. Hmm... hard to answer. It varies quite a bit. I notice that if I leave my room and go into the living room (which is about 7 meters away) through a single wall that I don't really haven any issues except for occasional crackling. However, if I go to the kitchenet that is in the same room and it starts to go through more than one wall I get semi-regular crackling/degradation but can still hear things. But then I can go upstairs and essentially walk around everywhere and not have really any issues either except for occasional crackling. Some drops at the outer edges (which comes back quickly) once I stop moving. So, a part of me wants to say it is good while another part of me says it isn't. Leaving me square on the fence. Internally my gut reaction is to say that it isn't one of the best performers I've had. But after the test I just did it isn't nearly as bad as I thought. Which means it probably comes down to your own setup/interference.

[@bjsiau]

I just got these today and I have mixed feelings so far. The sound is okay, but the bass seems too loud no matter what settings I use. The mic picks up all of my mouse and keyboard sounds even after messing with the signal cleanup settings. My gaming buddies aren't a huge fan as they can hear everything going on in the background. Has anyone found a fix for either of these issues?

[@ThomasMuehler]

Depending on your PC you may be able to download Nvidia Broadcast which would cut out all the background noise if your graphics card supports it. As for the bass, the only thing I can think of is going into a custom profile via G Hub and reducing the bass range down into an acceptable range for your ears. And even then, it may just mess up the sound further (or just not like it). As when you start to mess with EQ settings you can get into the woods pretty quickly if you don't know what you're doing. Small changes to the bass range in Hertz (Hz) tends to be your best bet (-1 - -3). Alternatively, you could boost the mid and high-end range.

[@bjsiau]

@@ThomasMuehler After some messing with it some more I realized that turning off the "surround sound" feature eliminated the overpowering bass sound I was getting. As for the background noise, its still not great. I changed the gate a bit and that helped a lot but I think I'm going to try using Krisp to help some more. Unfortunately I don't have an Nvidia GPU. I think it would help if the mic was able to adjust towards my mouth more, and if it had an opening on only the mouth side instead of both sides. I don't really understand that design decision lol

[@ThomasMuehler]

@@bjsiau The two sided microphone is supposed to provide some "noise cancelling". As it takes what you are saying along with what is going on from the other side of the mic so it can cut down on background noise and focus more on your voice. Which sounds great in theory but doesn't always work well in reality. I'm almost wondering if your mic is actually slightly defective where it is boosting that sound instead of reducing it. I'm not sure if A. you could provide enough information on an RMA for that. As with it being a removable mic they may just send you a new microphone you could use. B. If they have it available to just buy a la cart. or C. if you are still in the window to exchange it at the store. As you're definitely doing all the right things and still having a lot of issues which shouldn't be the case.

@@ThomasMuehler Now this is interesting. I called Logitech to see if they could send a replacement mic and they said that this model does not have the background noise canceling technology built in like their other gaming models do so there's nothing I can do to fix the background noise.

It's robbery. 2. They still didn't offer you a replacement? Seeing as the microphone shouldn't be picking that stuff up regardless?! They were just like "oh well, sucks to be you?" What a crap and poor response. 3. I'm glad Krisp works, but I know I couldn't justify $12 a month for that. I'm sorry you'll have to replace them for something less pretty. That is a bummer. It leaves me at a loss at what the heck Logitech was thinking regarding this entire lineup. Especially, seeing as laissez faire their response has been to the whole thing while holding onto their premium price point.

I can't decide on headphones ( Logitech G735 or HyperX Cloud MIX ) what do you recommend better?

[@ThomasMuehler]

I haven't tried the HyperX Cloud Mix. So, I can't tell you how that compares. However, I have tried the Hyper Cloud III (the newest one) and I absolutely love them. They are wired like the Mix but don't have the Bluetooth function. But are $100 so are cheaper. If you really want wireless than the G735 are fully wireless and have Bluetooth. I can't remember off the top of my head if you can do both of those at the same time though. I have a love/hate relationship with the G735 still. If you can find them on sale then I think they are worth it. If not then I think there are better alternatives. I tend to flop back and fourth with teh sound still. Where sometimes I think it is great and other times I don't. Which is a long way of me rambling and not giving you a ton of information. All I can say is if I had to buy a new gaming headset the HyperX Cloud III would be up there with one of my picks. The only reason why I wouldn't recommend them is if your primary use case is listening to music. But in that case none of these would be the best option for that.

I’m stuck between getting the steelseries arctis pro’s or the Logitech g735 I’m on ps5 which would you recommend?

[@ThomasMuehler]

I personally am using the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless and I LOVE them. They are stellar all around and easily the best headset that I’ve ever tried even beating out the Astro A50’s. And that’s coming from someone who really doesn’t like SteelSeries or any of their products. Definitely won me over. Eventually, I’ll get to releasing my review of them. But they are S Tier. The SteelSeries Arctis Pro (I’m not sure if you are talking about the Wired here or the Wireless) I’ve never been a huge fan of. As I think they are B Class. (S, A, B, C, D, F highest to lowest ranking). Definitely think they are better than these. I’ve tried them twice now and wasn’t blown away by them and found them to be pretty average in general which is why I never released a review as I just didn’t think they were worth the time and effort. But people tend to also love them so maybe I’m missing something. You’ve got my thoughts on these from the review. I’d be curious on which ones you decide to go with and your thoughts on them once you’ve tried them out if you remember and care to get back to me.

Advertised that they worked where? As I haven't seen that they are officially supported. Also, if I mentioned that they were in my review that was a mistake and I apologize. Technically, the PS5 will read that they are correctly connected. However, whether it be licensing issues with Sony or Logitech they make the volume too low to be viable. I am unaware of anything that makes them work correctly. Other than you could technically get an Aux cord and then plug that into the controller. I suppose you could also try bluetooth?

I know that this is a headset, and I am not a gamer… but I look for good, light, aesthetic headphones which don’t hurt me when I have my glasses on. Can I use this headset also as headphones? Or is that weird?

[@ThomasMuehler]

I think they are A. Light, B. Aesthetically, look great, and C. Won't hurt with glasses on (at least in my experience). I think "good" is subjective here. As I think they are way overpriced for what you get which makes it hard for me to recommend them. Especially, when you can get actual Bluetooth headphones (such as the Bose QC35, Sony WH1000XM4, Sony WH1000XM5, or from Sennheiser) for around the same price (when on sale not at retail pricing) which I think are better and fit what you're looking for in teh sense of "good, light, and won't hurt with glasses". As Aesthetics are subjective so can't comment too much on that. I think the XM5 look great but are too expensive (thanks Apple AirPods Max pricing). Also, yes you could use these as headphones. Sound quality again is subjective but the thing that makes me hesitant in recommending. It's not bad by any means but not $230 good. As it tends to be hit or miss for people. No, that is not weird to use them as headphones. I'd also argue that these (with their Bluetooth functionality and removable mic) are meant to also be used as portable Bluetooth headphones.

[@natalieansah-adu80]

I just got these from amazon yesterday and I am struggling to connect it via Bluetooth to my laptop. It connects to my phone just fine but everytime I try to pair it with my laptop, it shuts off. The only way I can get it to work is with the wireless receiver, which I cannot use most of the time because I don't have enough USB ports when using multiple peripherals at once. Any ideas?

[@ThomasMuehler]

I don't fully understand what you mean by "shuts off"? Mind explaining that a bit more in-depth for me? Specifically, like I'm a 4-year-old. I know for one of my laptops that it was moody AF with Bluetooth connections and often wouldn't stay connected and when it was connected it wouldn't play audio the right way. Likely a hardware failure as it was consistent across any bluetooth headset. It later completely gave up on life and now no longer boots. Not sure if that is the case with your laptop or not. Do you have another Bluetooth headphone you could test and see if that works just fine (from a friend or something)? As if this headset works just fine on your phone it seems like something on your PC (firmware, software, etc) is not working correctly.

[@natalieansah-adu80]

@@ThomasMuehler What I meant was when the headset is in pairing mode and pairs with my laptop, a pop-up window will ask me if I want to set up this device (even though it is already paired with my laptop), and when I press 'ok', it says it's connected, but no audio will come out and the whole headset will just turn off in about 10 seconds.

[@monfrezo]

u mentioned using usb 3.0 would interfere with the dongle, would u kno if the same goes for the logitech g pro x superlight mouse when using the dongle?

[@ThomasMuehler]

Yes, I believe that refers to ANY wireless peripheral. That it will have a stronger/better connection by providing a bit of distance. Will you actually notice a difference? I think it depends on the setup. Where if you have a lot of peripherals plugged in (like on my main gaming PC) yes. Also, a desktop will provide more interference than say a laptop. If you have a laptop and that is the only thing plugged in perhaps not. Also, certain tech handles said interference better than others. With Logitech and Razer being two of the best. So, that's a long answer to say that yes, you should likely provide a bit of distance by using the extender dongle on both your wireless headset and GPX superlight. As it won't hurt anything and will likely give you slightly better performance.

[@monfrezo]

@@ThomasMuehler thank u for ur thourough reply, i highly appreciate ur proactivity. I fortunately only have g pro x superlight as the only wireless peripheral in my setup, must admit that i dont fully trust wireless gaming gear other than mice as i noticed that even the most miniscule of features typically create a noticeable amount of buffer which results in increased input latency, things like rgb, onboard memory and now also having to take interference into account, but i guess the same goes for wired gear

[@monfrezo]

@@ThomasMuehler when u say distance do u mean distance between the mouse and its extended dongle shouldnt be placed to close or is it the mouse dongle and the headset dongle should have a fair bit of distance to function optimally?

[@ThomasMuehler]

​@@monfrezo I'm with you. I fully trust wireless mice (as they have been proven to actually perform as good if not better than wired). But when it comes to audio hardwired is still superior sound wise. Some other wireless things are hit and miss. But I think hardwire in general is still superior. Just FYI before we get into it you may want to Google Search yourself as most of this information that I'm pulling is fuzzy and I haven't looked at it for quite some time. So, if you want more info or exact dimensions you'll need to research. As I don't remember a lot off the top of my head. But I know that USB 3.0 causes interference (I forget why). Especially, on the back of a desktop PC (as you have a double whammy here with multiple USB 3.0 along with the interference from the motherboard, etc. granted shielding has improved in recent years). Along with on USB Hubs. Therefore, it is recommended for the best performance to separate it maybe by a foot or two from the hub/back of PC. Which is why Logitech includes the USB -A to USB-micro (I don't think it is USB-C?) which then goes into the USB-Micro to USB-A extender dongle, which then plugs into your wireless dongle. They also recommend for optimal performance that the wireless dongle should be a foot or so away from the wireless mouse (again, I'm not 100% on exact dimensions as it's been a while) but that is close and you could verify deep diving Logitech's website as they will list that somewhere. I think it's actually in the user documentation that comes with the mouse. Being TOO CLOSE won't be an issue. The further you get the more likely you are to run into issues (just due to signal strength reducing and increasing possibility of interference). I just remember thinking that it is farther then I thought but also closer then I would think. If you have multiple wireless peripherals (which you said you didn't) I'm not sure how much it matters if they are close or further apart. As I haven't researched or looked into that. But I keep most of my wireless stuff close-ish to each other but away from hubs and never have any issues. In general this whole interference talk is mostly splitting hairs. As they are quite robust these days and interference is rarely an issue. If you are running into erroneous issues with your cursor/mouse that is when I'd start looking into possible interference issues. Or you can just play it safe and do what they recommend.

[@ACEM33RCS]

I bought these for my ps5; however, it shows the output and input connected, but the volume is super low and won’t turn up when I attempt. Is there something I’m doing wrong or should try differently?

[@ThomasMuehler]

Undecided if Logitech is A. limiting the sound so it doesn’t work on consoles, or B. Sony is a dick and if Logitech doesn’t pay to play then their headset won’t work correctly, C. Some type of firmware/software issue, or D. A bit of both A, B, and C. As I’ve found that any Logitech Wireless headset (that isn’t specifically made for that console) performs the same where it will read the device correctly in the settings however sound will be nearly imperceptible. So, think there is some Shanahan’s going on from one or both of the companies that leads to us as consumers losing. So, that was a long way of saying no, you aren’t doing anything wrong. Unfortunately, the G735 aren’t officially supported and therefore don’t work on PS5 (and I’m assuming Xbox but don’t have one so can’t try it). But work just fine on PC. Unless if you plug in via 3.5 Aux to the controller at which point it should work like any other headset.

6:55 what does it mean cause the noise floor to become audible ?

[@ThomasMuehler]

Great question. In everything there is always a noise floor. So, in a quiet room the decibels will be like 32 dB. Silent is actually 0 dB. So, you have a noise floor of 32 dB. Often in headsets, microphones, etc. it will be picking up some sort of noise or has noise from the internal components which usually is not audible at normal operating volumes. Kind of like when you have a conversation in a quiet room you don't hear the hum of air conditioning or something. But if you crank up the volume enough in the headset when things are quiet and even when they aren't you can hear a bit of a hum or crackle or hiss that is persistent. Another way of putting it. If the volume on the headset is 50% and you don't hear anything, then you crank it up to 100% you may hear a hiss. As you are then making the noise floor audible to your ears. It is present at 50% too, but since you can't hear it, it doesn't matter. Which happens more often with wireless devices because of reasons I won't go into. Does that make sense?

[@ThomasMuehler]

@@baniboo All totally fair points. The top padding is very limited so I 100% agree that they could have done more there. For me personally, the reasons why I said what I said were. 1. I find them to be very lightweight. Due to them being lightweight the pressure they put on the top of my head is minimal. 2. I find that the padding around the ears to be more than I’m used to (compared to most other headsets I’ve tried). It is also quite plushy. With the clamping force being light most of the pressure is pretty even around my ears to keep it in place. But since it is light it doesn’t feel like it is vice gripping my head. But a complain would be because the clamping force is so light that it doesn’t really utilize the plush all the much as it more just sits there without depressing. Which makes it not as comfortable as I would expect when I press it with my finger. 3. There is adequate movement of the joints to try and fit most peoples heads. With that said I do agree with you that these are not the most comfortable headset I’ve worn. They are middle tier. And I would expect them to be a lot more comfortable based on how they look, who built them (Logitech), and how much they cost. This is also one of the reasons why I’m so frustrated with this headset is I think they missed a lot of the critical points. Have you tried (as counterintuitive as this sounds) to either tight them a bit more (like push in the headband so more of the pressure is around your ears) or vice versa loosen the headband by expanding it to see if that loosens the pressure and see if that helps. As I’ve noticed that depending on the headset that sometimes a looser or tighter fit is more comfortable.

I think you may have a defective unit. Also, keep in mind that AirPods are meant to work well on any Apple device so when you are comparing them to any other non-Apple device they should perform better. Whereas, if you try and use an Apple device on a non-Apple device you tend to get slightly less good results. But the issues you are having shouldn't be happening. As for the Wireless Dongle. Also, weird. Could be interference and using the extender dongle may help (as the USB ports and other parts in your PC give off a lot of interference. But I'd love to hear if it did somehow end up being "user error". But you seem to know what you're doing so I find that unlikely. Also, appreciate you getting back to me.

Can the rgb run through the colors on its own? I can't figure it out

[@ThomasMuehler]

Yes, I believe there is some setting inside of G Hub that as long as you select both zones and then like "color shift" or something it will go through all the colors on its own.

Has anyone used this headset on a Macbook? If so, are the EQ settings active?

Does anyone have any ideas?

[@ThomasMuehler]

Tested it at home tonight. The EQ does transfer over whether on LightSpeed or Bluetooth. However, if you plug in the dongle to a new PC/Mac and download the software it will replace the custom EQ with the default one making you have to create the preset again on that computer at which point will carry over again. If you use the same computer all the time then it will still keep the EQ saved when opening Logitech G Hub. Also, G Hub works on both Mac and PC.

[@softart5235]

i hear g733 has no memory is it the same with the g735?

[@ThomasMuehler]

It does have onboard memory for basic features. But for RGB sync you need to have G Hub open. Because some unknown reason. Not sure why so many gaming products won't save lighting to the onboard memory.

This headset is AWFUL. I don't understand it. I had such high hopes. But friends in discord tell me I sound like a robot half the time, and game audio (I mostly play FPSs) is ATROCIOUS. I'm sorry to be so negative but I can't understand how I could pay $250 for a headset and hate it so much that I go back to my 8-year old $40 Astro A10's. :( So sad about it

[@ThomasMuehler]

The microphone was definitely a big let down for me as well. I thought the sound was average with stock settings. But got a lot better with a custom EQ. But sometimes getting those EQs to be in the right spot takes a lot of time and effort. Did you happen to try the one that I mentioned in the video? Regardless, I totally get your frustration. Especially for the price. As you would expect both of those to be a non-issue.

[@rinamercury5666]

@@jgvtc559 Interesting. I'll have to try it out. But that's frustrating nonetheless seeing as most people are going to be using it on console/pc instead of their phones. Unless if you are saying to connect via 2.4 Ghz wireless and then also connect to the same PC via Bluetooth and use bluetooth for chat. But that seems complicated.

[@Mo-bz4if]

I found these for $150 do you think it's a good buy at this price point? I want a versatile headset that offers a good mix of entertainment, gaming, and mobility. I haven't found anything that does all of these things as well this one.

[@ThomasMuehler]

I think at $150 it is fairly priced for what you get. And I do continue to go back and fourth on the sound quality. Where some days I think it is awesome. And other days I prefer something else. But at $150 I think it would be a good choice. If you buy it, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it and if you think it was worth that price tag or not. As in general, the feedback I'm getting back is at full price it isn't worth it. However, when discounted and when people have looked around and want this guy they have thoroughly enjoyed it.

Update: I ended up getting the Nova 7X as I got a Xbox and I really benefit from simultaneous Bluetooth and 2.4. Insane quality and feel. Coming from a 6 year old Hyperx Cloud 2 the wireless and weight are a blessing, my best purchase in ages.

[@ThomasMuehler]

@@Mo-bz4if Appreciate you getting back to me! Agreed on your points. I haven't personally tried the Nova 7x but heard good things about their Nova line in general. I have to Nova Pro's and really enjoy them.

[@jacobkatzelnik5161]

Do these work on Android devices properly?

[@ThomasMuehler]

I honestly don't know. As I don't own an Android device to test. But it works via bluetooth so I don't see why it wouldn't work properly. Especially, this late into the game with Bluetooth.

[@heymikaylaa]

I got this headset because I heard it was comfortable for people with glasses, which it is! The mic is AWFUL! I've used a Razor headset and the mic for years now and it sounds pretty well. This mic was just awful. Frankly, I'm disappointed with it. However, I'm just going to make the jump to a stand alone mic and keep the headset due to how comfortable it is for me. Also, this video was greatly appreciated! The detail and honest was on point. Thank you!

[@ThomasMuehler]

I REALLY wanted to like this headset. And it does have certain aspects that are solid. Comfort being one of them. I just think the cost is excessive for what you get. But I'm glad that you like it well enough. I think an external microphone is a great call regardless. As it will provide a lot better experience for those you are talking too. But definitely is a bit more cumbersome for you. Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion. I enjoyed reading it!

[@aaaauaaa]

Is there alow letancy with game in phone by blutooth

[@ThomasMuehler]

I'm not sure if it comes with low latency Bluetooth or not. You could probably google search that and find out. But there will always be increased latency with bluetooth. Which is why it comes with 2.4 GHz wireless as that is faster.

[@zhengjingjiejie]

Fir this price tag, I'd rather fet a mic on boom arm, then another headphone with 7.1 and better sound quality.

[@ThomasMuehler]

I agree. I think that would be a better use of money.

[@JosephSalk]

Does anybody know what headphones were at 1:43 ?

[@ThomasMuehler]

Apple AirPods Max blue color.

[@JosephSalk]

@@ThomasMuehler brilliant Thank you, I think they look amazing in blue but the price is fairly steep 😂

[@ThomasMuehler]

@@JosephSalk Yes, they do look good. But the price is insane and honestly the performance doesn't fully justify them. While I think they out perform a lot of the competition in that niche it is still hard for me to recommend them. Unless if you have a lot of extra money lying around and a use for Bluetooth headphones. If you're super interested I would recommend waiting for the Gen 2 version that will eventually be coming out (probably relatively soon, and by soon I mean the next year).

[@gundamx13a76]

I'm trying to decide between this headset, the Logitech G733, the Astro A30, and the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless. Out of all of them, which has the best audio quality? I'm only gonna use it for PC.

[@ThomasMuehler]

Unfortunately, I haven't tried the G733 or the Cloud Alpha so I don't know. I've been lazy and haven't uploaded my review on the A30. My thoughts summed up are: I find the sound quality to be above average being solid/great. Comfort is solid/great. Microphone is adequate/good. Versatility is excellent. Ease of operation is confusing making it poor/adequate. And there are a lot of issues that need to be ironed out… assuming you can even update the firmware. Looking at it wholistically the price is reasonable. But with the fierce competition at this price point it leaves me on the fence for recommendation. SOUND: I honestly really liked the sound on these. They have above average directional sound/imaging. Meaning when gaming I can tell where someone is located (left, right, front, back) but not with exact precision. I have a hard time with how close/far someone is. I’m easily able to differentiate between different sounds when a lot is going on and pick up on nuanced sounds that are usually imperceptible on other headsets. Depending on the game footsteps were noticeable. Highs are very crisp and can almost come across as shouty/harsh. Mids may be a bit recessed. Making voices sound a bit artificial (but not like horribly so). Lows are also above average. Making explosions/gunshots sound good. Overall mixing was “balanced” where one frequency doesn’t completely overbear another. They are also great for single player, multiplayer, media, and music. Which is rare. Making them very versatile. While they aren’t the best sounding headset I’ve tried it is definitely one of the better ones and if I didn’t have a stupid amount of headsets (most being more expensive) I’d rate them higher. But with the other issues I have it makes it harder for me to recommend them for the price. I think the A30 is better than the G735. I also prefer it over the G335 and G535. In general I think I'd pick the A30 over most other headsets. But that doesn't mean it is a great headset. Just that I think it performs better than most of the competition. But think 229 is a bit too much for what you are getting and think the 150 price point would be better. I know this is a wired headset but I'd go with the Corsair HS80 Wired. As I think that headset is fantastic for gaming and my go to recommendation. I even use that myself when I want to be competitive. Also, if price isn't an issue or you can find them on sale my other main gaming headset is the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro. They are excellent across the board. I would also choose either of those over the A30. But would take the A30 over the A50's. I'd love to hear which one you went with and your thoughts on them once you try them out.

Does it work with ps4/ps5 consoles?

[@ThomasMuehler]

While it technically works on PS5 (as I don't have a PS4 to test). The volume is far to low to make it a viable option. I often don't listen to things loud so if it is too quiet for me that is really saying something. So while it works it doesn't actually work. So, no.
