Logitech G933 vs G930 | Gaming Headphones Test

[@Aderic]

Reviewers need to do a microphone test on a headset. This is a must. I don't see why people don't do them.

[@MikeMessiah]

SOME GAMING HEADPHONE MICS are better than others

[@HFTVChannel]

I was happy with the quality of my g930s , thinking of getting g933s when my 30 dies off.

[@BigDuke6ixx]

The 'leather' peels off the 930s after a while.

[@lukaknezevic1890]

You can replace them for like 5$

[@JMPERager]

How long? I've had Asus Orion Pro ROG for 3 years, they have the same material, and they have only just now started to peel off. So, how long does it take for the 930s?

[@BigDuke6ixx]

JMPERager less than a couple of years for mine.

[@carlzimmerman8700]

my 930's are 3 years old, no peeling yet

[@BigDuke6ixx]

Carl Zimmerman anyone interested in the truth can just google '930's faux leather flake and peel off'

[@uuolfhartmann3300]

For the G930 auto shutoff fix - go to program files > Logitech Gaming Software > G930 and edit the DEVICE MANIFEST with notepad. Use ctrl + f and find battery turnOffInterval. (all you need to do is search for battery) Change the assigned value (900 by default) to 0 or a very high number and save the file! That's all folks! :S

[@Kenmaster828]

Does that really work? I've been shutting off Logitech Gaming Software whenever I use my G930s to keep them from shutting off.

[@shaneebahera8566]

i tried every fix for the g930 but still had the issue

[@davidbhyss]

I've been using g930's since 2014. They're still going and it's 2019. Leather is still in great condition.

[@thepleb4203]

Started with a G930. Had the dropout issues. Tried the manifest fix, still did not work. Returned them for Turtle Beaches. 5 months later (now), arm holding earcups snaps, they were plastic. Sends them to Turtle Beach and will take up to a month. Welp, now I am back to Logitech with G933's. Hoping for a better result. So far, I am loving them over my Stealth 450's.

[@jpendersen1294]

The frequency range of the drivers is the same on 933 and 930, my favorite feature is that it goes down so low, 20hz. I tested quite a few headsets and most don't quite get there, makes for an enjoyable bass experience.

[@wolf432]

With the 930's I've had major drop out issues had to RMA them (took about a month of contact between them because they took so long to contact me back after each email). They sent me new ones and I'm still having drop out issues. I'm gonna be upgrading to the 933's soon because of this.

[@Thetechchap]

+Lone Wolf That was pretty much the big reason I wanted to upgrade from the 930's as well

[@legmanpv72]

great review as always, would like if you are able to review budget headphones and gaming headsets, thanks

[@SparklyVenom]

+Paul Valles yes that is what I would like too.

[@andreseduardoledezmamiras9602]

Nice review! it was helpful regarding the drop issues that I do have with my G930 headset

[@Thetechchap]

+Andres Eduardo Ledezma Miras Glad to hear it! :)

[@trainfart98]

I used the G633s for about 2 months, but then had to retourn them because the micro-usb cable kept falling out and thus disconnecting the headphones (which often lead to teamspeak crashing) If the 633s had a fix cable, i would prefer them a lot more, but i just got the 933 because it doesnt really matter if the cable is plugged in constantly or not

[@igormarchenko5351]

NEVER THE HELL GET G930, IF YOU WANT YOUR MENTAL HELATH TO BE ALRIGHT TYPING THIS WHILE MY G930 DISCONNECTING AND RECONNECTING, I THINK I'M GOING TO BREAK IT SOON AND JUMP ON THEM FOR 9 HOURS IM SO FUCKING CRAZY RIGHT NOW, DONT BUY G930 EVEN IF THEY FORCE YOU TO, HELL NO

[@vinie_4755]

You should see a doctor man. And buy some g933

[@igormarchenko5351]

VinieMasters I decided to never buy wireless again, so I bought Creative Sound BlasterX H7 yesterday. Can't wait for them.

[@WiewiurTV]

I bought g933 for 99euros on amazon prime-day meanwhile i already have the h7 headset and i must say, h7 has better build quality but g933 has better audio-quality (Tested on 3 diffrend high-end soundcards), the h7 sounded only better on on-board mainboard soundcard

[@DTD1233]

Mine didn't start having issues until after two years of owning them, and they got so bad I e-mailed logitech. Within 7 days I had a brand new in the box set of 930s with a brand new 3 year warranty. You should hit up their customer service, it's phenomenal.

[@Birblover4life]

what? just bought one for 60 dollars and I don't have connection problems.

[@Burgerplayer3920]

sooo yeah i bought the g633 and when i wear them on my head for about 1 hour it's starting to hurt on my head. I do have a RIG500E but the ear pads on them are preatty flatt so i bought the g633.

[@Littlepetfrog]

I stopped using my first pair of G930 because the battery only lasted 1 hour after years of consistent use (Can still use wired if i wanted to.) I got myself a second pair of G930 and the battery and connectivity issues where lessened but they still exist compared to what he said its about once every 2 days, The battery issue still exists but not in a way that its a great impact. I have had the first pair for 4 years and the second pair for 4 months.

[@Littlepetfrog]

also you can get G933 for about 50% its launch price (180)if you get refurbished. Considering they have only been out for about a year.

[@CunningStuntsGoFast]

i had my 633 for over a year now and it was awesome , good quality sound and very precise sounds in shooters . it broke down on the wire connection rubbing my shoulder . so i went out and bought the 933 , no setup needed just plug the usb thing in and go . im happy

[@TmanTV3]

Just bought the g933 because I stood up one to many times with my old g930's plugged in, and the charging port broke. One thing I find interesting is the falling off the head issue, I can't get these things to fall off my head for nothing. These things actually feel much tighter on my head than my 930's

[@flabby261]

I totally agree these are certainly a decent upgrade from the g930s this headset rocks and the software is spot on especially the first person shooter option.I also tried the drop off the head test mine didnt move but i suppose like he said he has a big head

[@berkarslan]

I've been actively using G930 for 8 years believe it or not. The leather started peeling off in its 3rd year or so and I cleared all of the leather off from it which didn't make much difference with its appearance and comfort. I experience random disconnects sometimes but apart from that, everything is great including the battery. Still can't believe how it works for all these time lol

[@markhesmer1729]

Got the G930 and going to purchase the G933 due to wear and tear on G930 earpads and headband as perished after 3 years. Connection loss is very small, maybe once every 3 months and these have been used every day for at least 5 hours a day and battery lasts 2 days (10 hours) before recharging. Shame cant get genuine parts for them anymore. Have tested the G933 and sound quality is far superior to the G930. Comfort is about the same on both and never had issues with comfort as both headsets are comfy. Must be your head if you suffer with the headband pressure. Advice to others, worth paying more for the G933 as you do get so much more for your money, especially over the G930.

[@designsbyam]

The problem with the G930s turning off isn't a battery issue, it's a driver issue. The drivers aren't telling the headphones that they are being used and the headphones just automatically turn off after about 15 minutes thinking that there isn't any usage going on. The way to fix this issue is rolling back to an old driver whilst losing some features like 7.1 virtual surround sound and the ability to change the G buttons.

[@Azurren]

You've had your G930s for 3 years and they still look like that?!! I'm on my second pair of pads (first ones peeled completely) and they are peeling already. The two plastic screw clamps housing the ear rotation mechanism have long since cracked, been glued, shattered and glued again. Even the mic has snapped in two places and is held together with glue and tape. _Mine are 4 years old_

[@Thetechchap]

+Azurren Wow you must really give them a beating haha :P Yeah the leather is starting to crack but they're holding up pretty well :)

[@Azurren]

The Tech Chap TV True that I've miss-judged doorways a few times while wearing them but other than that I've been rather gentle.. The plastic just got brittle over time. After unscrewing the plastic clamps I found it's just wafer-thin plastic holding the metal "hinge" in place. Actually I'm surprised it didn't fail sooner.. I suspect this was caused by picking the headphones up by a can, one handed, before using two hands to put it on my head. As for the microphone the weak point is where the rubber meats the plastic covering the hinge. (Again, it just got brittle) The mic wires are within a metal sleeve so it pretty sturdy. Probably caused when bending the mic towards my mouth then back strait again when folding it back. Tbh the reason I've been looking for videos like yours is because I wanted to know if it was worth upgrading. Thankfully your video has answered this question for me!

[@Thetechchap]

+Azurren What do you reckon then? Will you upgrade?

[@Azurren]

The Tech Chap TV Well, like you I'm not a massive audiophile so if the sound quality isn't noticeably better I can't justify paying the £170 price tag while my g930s are still fully functional. (All be it held together with a wish and a prayer) Also I tend to keep my g930s on for most of the day when I'm at home to stream music when I'm not sitting in front of the computer. The g933 tenancy to fall-off with small head movements is a major turn off.

[@Thetechchap]

+Azurren Yep that's fair - they are very expensive and there isn't much difference in terms of sound quality

[@ted714]

I love the G35 but I never tried the G930 (they both seem the same). I just receieved the G933 Artemis Spectrum and the sound quality seems like ass, and I enabled the surround sound and tried the few options.

[@sangkang6294]

G930 microphone snapped off, seems to be a design flaw. Had to epoxy it back and hasn't had a repeat problem of falling off past 3 years. Replaced the battery and ear muff foam. The head foam is coming apart and will need to be replaced soon but over all the distance the head set cover is unmatched I can pretty much go anywhere in my home and even to the parking lot without losing signal.

[@madprunes]

Still rocking my G930 from 2013, just ordered some new ear pads because they turned to dust a while back, down to about 4 hours of battery life.

[@papa_kennof]

I've had 3 930's over the years. Just got my 933's, haven't tried them yet but I know that logitech has supergood service. I have only bought 1 pair og 930, got 2 replacement products.

[@tari0048]

Guys. What worked for me with the dropout with the G930 is that I degraded the software to one from 2014. They stop dropping out. It might work for you.

[@nickflana]

I used my protection plan to get my G930 replaced in 2016 and the new G930 that they gave me fixed alot of the problems. The charging port is not loose, it almost never drops a signal (maybe once a week), and its battery lasts a long time. I've had this new headset for about 10 months and still no problems. So yea if you are planning on getting them, get a new one.

[@michaelhorstmann7737]

Thanks for making the review! I was nervous about pulling the trigger on a $200 headset when I already have the G930's and they're OKAY, but getting to the finicky stage. This video sealed the deal for me though. Definitely going to spend half the cash and pick up the G930 again. Personally, I think the matte black looks better too. They should do a 933x or something that offers the pleather ear cup covers and less "bling" design, but still with the sick ass RGB lighting and reduced size microphone in the future.

[@karpetech]

Good comparison review. Thank you. I was looking to get the g633's today unless something changes before the store opens.

[@honnorgaurd]

my suggestion to any of you who are watching this and debating on getting these, as a person who owned the g930 for over 7 years, I HIGHLY recommend getting the wired version of the g933 which is the G633. DONT GO WIRELESS The only reason I had to upgrade to the g633 myself from my g930 ive had for over 7 years was because it just wouldnt reliably hold its connection anymore which is always going to be a problem you'll have with anything wireless. But these things especially. Which is a shame because when the g930 DOES connect and work properly it still has some of the best audio and microphone quality I've ever tested on a gaming headset.

[@tangoferoz1421]

930 works beter for people with big heads! $50 bucks in amazon now, cant beat it.

[@Mrmariochaos]

As i owner of the G930 i love the sound quality but I have had drop outs since day one (Owned them for about 2 years now) Currently looking into the G933 So thank you for doing this video

[@luckyfireworks9132]

I have my logitech g930 for about 4 years and they are still surviving easy 10-12 ours of use every day. im using them every day for listening to music in the evening and for gaming and i never had problems with the connection or something. i can walk through my entire house without losing the connection. this year they started losing the leather from the ear cups but they are still feeling the same. i realy like them, mine never did anything wrong and i can recommend them. there must be big quality diffrences.

[@BestRaresStore]

had the 933 for a few weeks, the audio sounds brilliant on xbox / pc but the mic has been total crap everyone says im way to quiet, sending back soon,

[@abn0rmal]

I have had the 930 for about 4 years, and I'm quite happy with them. No dropout issues, per say, but there have been some driver compatability issues regarding new windows releases, and the logitech G software. However, my main problem was the "leather" ear cups. They degrade over time, and start flimsing up, making the headset get closer yo your ears, and it's gets annoying to the point where I got my ear sore. I bought a steelseries siberia elite prism, and it also got very sweaty and humid, as they don't breathe well at all. Ended up buying aftermarked foamed ear cups off of eBay, and chucked the steelseries in a box. 930's got better than new, imo, with foamed cups instead of the faux leather.

[@abn0rmal]

Although now after all these years, the plastic has cracked, and I need a replacement.

[@W4RM1ND]

I upgraded to a G933 from the G930 for two reasons... Wear: The leather has been peeling for a while resulting in a mess AND the plastic around the joints have begun to chips... secondly I have drop out issues, no usability on Xbox (or any analog device), and the speakers have begun to squeak and creak.

[@daciefusjones8128]

had mine for 5 years now.I am putting in a new battery today. The leather looking stuff is man made so I put armour all on it. No cracks or peeling and my ears do sweat a lot.

[@nozyspy4967]

The faux leather on my G930's disintegrated so i bought blue fabric replacements which are much more comfortable!

[@pxprimary3790]

I can say I've had G930 for a long time and while at first it was a pretty solid headset... past year or so it has constant connection issues and random shut-offs. I've replaced the battery. I've used the hacks to disable the automatic software shutoff (but that's reliable as it happens after set time). I've tried older versions of software... just about everything. I recently ordered a new headset and will be retiring this thing to the garbage. I can say I got my moneys worth over the years but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone due to the issues it seems to have these days (and they don't appear to be related to age of my specific device)

[@christophergenaopolanco8218]

I wonder, why test if headphones fall off when you turn your neck back? Why don't you do this stability exercise by applying it to a more real situation of common use, such as looking down or moving your head from right to left? When a person wants to turn their head back it is because they want to rest their posture and if the objective is to rest, then the fact that they fall off automatically helps to take weight off your head and rest.

[@DTD1233]

I know you said if we have the 930 it's probably not worth upgrading, but I'm honestly gonna jump on the 933 just because I didn't realize it has 3.5mm compatibility and works on pretty much any device. That makes it a lot easier for me when I'm traveling because I wont need to bring headphones for my phone. It sure would be nice if they had bluetooth capability, though, instead of just RF. I'm ready for a Wifi Direct headset to come out.

[@Wavetheory85]

I loved the G930s aside from it cutting out often enough to be annoying. They also "broke" after about 18 months I was having constant issues and just tossed them. I picked up the turtle beach px24s afterwards and was disappointed. I think I'm going to to try some real headphones next..possibly sennhesiers

[@victorfelixmuniz]

Good evening. Could you give me some doubts about this headset(G933) ? Do you charge it from your computer's USB port and how long does it take? Have you used the cellular charger in it? It should load faster, but I do not know if it's harmful.

[@believ]

i just got some g933s, the 930s game me a rash around the ear after the pleather like material fell off of them because of about a 2 and a half year use. ebay you can get 933s for around 90 dollars if you look closely. they were on sale black friday last year i believe with some other headsets. maybe on release or when this video was made it was certainly unavoidable. now that the price has lowered you can safely pick up a 933 set for 40-50$ more than you'd find the 930s. hope this helps peoples decisions.

[@serraxer]

Replaced battery in mine 930 to 2100mAh now after 3 day of 5 hours of play they still working I can't discharged them. Also after changing radio chanel via RegEdit to 10 I never have a disconnect problem. After 3 years of usage they are still good. I have a 5ghz router its reason why I don't have reconnect issue too.

[@elcman5]

I have owned about 4 x G930s. I loved them, but the plastic construction is where it fails. I have never had one last over 6 months. Warranty replaced, then they break down in the next 4 to 6 months. I LOVE the audio quality, but I can't bear the breakdown. I'm hoping G933 will resolve that... I hope. Thanks for the review.

[@MeatHaven]

dang tough luck, I've had mine for 2 years in constant use and never an issue

[@elcman5]

It's always the plastics that break down for me. But... I must have a fat head. A _very_ fat head. :(

[@bigfoot1291]

Hi Erik, Did you happen to end up getting a pair of these? I am in the exact same boat as you are, even down to the number. I'm on my 4th G930 and it is already breaking in the exact same way the others all have as well. I am seriously considering these because like you said, the audio quality is fantastic, but the build quality is utter trash. Want to get feedback from others who have personally experienced the same issue I have with g930 as to if the 933's seem like they have better build quality or what. Thanks

[@elcman5]

I feel ya... I didn't know if I could depend on the build quality so I held back. I bought the Turtle Beach z300s, but the plastics failed on that one, too. I ended up going with the A50 Astro. Super spendy at $200, but I use this for work as much as for gaming. I bought refurbished, but with a $30 3rd party guarantee. Things like a mute button, programmable buttons, and the configuration software still shines with the Logitech stuff, but these headphones sound _beautiful_.

[@elcman5]

I'm sure they can be used while charging. Previous ones could.

[@Jake-ol9ej]

I have the G933s, and I hate the sound leakage. So, the first thing i did was search for leather ear cuffs to replace them, but the only leather replacements I could find are for the g930s. Are the ear cuffs the same on both headsets? Can i order the leather ear cuffs for the g930 but use them with my g933?

[@MahmoudMaguid]

I would of loved to see a mic test. Great video regardless. Amazon actually had the g930 on a lighting deal a few days ago for £50. I was considering buying them but quite a few people said the mic was really bad. Which is why I would of loved to see a mic test.

[@Thetechchap]

+Mahmoud Maguid Yeah I probably should have done that though in my review of the new G933's, I found almost no difference in Mic quality over the G930's.

[@rasse30]

+Mahmoud Maguid hey there, as i was telling chap i just bought the g930's and was having trouble with the mic and i found that the problem is with Logitech in the program for the headset. the fix for it is just to download the previous version of the software and mic sounds great now. hope this helps.

[@MahmoudMaguid]

+Rass_E30 thanks!

[@rasse30]

Welcome

[@imacomputer101]

What's another good brand? The fact that they slide off easily is a deal breaker for me. I'm going to be using the headset with a htc vive also.

[@Jango_D]

my g930's are about 2 years old now beaten to hell snapped in multiple places (from putting them in a bag, or laying on my side with them on) and as far as i can tell the audio quality is the same as new ones. i had huge problems with connection issues 3 seconds out of every ten seconds i couldn't hear anything because i timed out then automatically reconnected themselves but i think i did the fix in the device manifest and it 'helped' but not fully fixed anything and after a while they stopped cutting out in general. it says it running out of battery and then lasts another 4 hours but overall its a very satisfactory headset in my opinion. but if i was going to buy a second pair i would probably opt for the 933's because even though it fixed itself its still a huge issue.

[@SFsplicer]

I have had no drop out issues with G930, but i know a few friends that own them and they have that issue. I still use my G930 had them for 2 years now. The only thing that sucks is the leather on the earcup its soon gone ^^. But when this headset breaks down im gonna get the G930

[@theone378]

I have the g930 and the issues I've had have really made me want to try the whole buying a "real pair of heaphones" like sennheiser and getting an external mic, but hey the 930 still works so I don't need to upgrade until they break

[@Thetechchap]

+riley jensen Perhaps the G633 might be worth a try? Wired (no dropout issues), bit better value and still great 7.1 surround.

[@ingainloggningsnamn]

Woot is the G633/G933 7.1 that much improved from the G35's 7.1 surround? Because experience from the G35 had me thinking that all their 7.1 surround headsets were as shit bad as the G35. Never gotten an answer if they've actually improved it or not.

[@jonesnaround]

Are the earphones on G930s the same size as the 933s, if so could you replace the foam with the leather pads.

[@lordtartarsauceb8348]

i actually dont want lights in my headphones making glares on the screen. the main difference, which isnt addressed here, is that ive had 2 friends with the odler ones and both of them had their headsets break.

[@JacPac]

G930 sound drops are related to how much wireless stuff you got around. I game about 3-4 hours a day and I get drops like 3 times per week. Each drop is more or less headset just turns off and on again - reset that lasts about 5-10 seconds. But I understand how this can be annoying to some gamer's when it happens in most vital moment. Sound quality is equally the same but in my opinion G930 deep bass is better and richer at low freq due to its faux leather ear cups giving better seal. When I bought ear cups replacements for my g930's due to faux peeling off I lost a lot of bass somehow...

[@Arrezinal]

This video is excellent. I love everything about it. What version of ROG Swift moniotors are you using?

[@InChristJesus87]

Excellent video. I have the 930 and I'd say that they are better than let's say astro a50. superb in its capability of surround sound and gaming audio quality. I could never get mine to give me high enough volume levels on my PS4 now I just preordered an Xbox One S any suggestions from anyone on a excellent console headset that give me 7.1 and isnt an Astro. thanks

[@rasse30]

Hey there chap, i have the G930 for PC and PS4 use and i found that even with the volume all the way up on the ps4 the headphones are caped. I was thinking of getting the 633's because the have the 3.5 line with an extra volume control on it maybe it will amp up the volume.was wondering what your thought was and if you can test this on your ps4 if you have one. sound quality is great i would just prefer a bit more volume on the g930's thanks

[@Thetechchap]

+Rass_E30 oh right - I never had an issue with volume on PS3/PS4 on the G930. I don't own a pair of G633's i'm afraid but considering they are simply a wired (and much cheaper) G933, I do recommend them

[@Thetechchap]

+Rass_E30 I have tested G930 & G933 on PS4 however - and both were the same in terms of volume (not that I found either to have any issue with max volume being too low)

[@rasse30]

interesting, I did some adjustments with the EQ and while gaming they sound really good. i am very happy with them, although maybe because you cant use the Logitech software on the ps4 you can't get it optimized. i am planning on buying the g633's and doing my first review with both of them. thanks for the reply

[@Thetechchap]

+Rass_E30 cool - good luck!

[@IvanSkaro86]

The Tech Chap Can you tell me which headset of G633 and G930 have better bass quality? At the moment I have nearly broken G930 6y old and thinking about buying G633 or again 930.

[@Thetechchap]

Are WIRELESS headphones a must-have for you?

[@Doubsteel]

Nice vid! Very helpful!

[@FreQuese]

Nice video man. Besides the G930, are there any other wireless headsets that you would recommend? I am not trying to go super hardcore into gaming and I would like to stay underneath $100. Thanks,

[@Thetechchap]

+Nery88 Thanks :) The new Corsair VOID surround headset is a great, cheaper, alternative.

[@StephanieRiosTV]

do the G933 feel a lot tighter on the head compared to the G930s?

[@MeBarnson]

my g930 is dying soon so im wondering if I should get them again or if the g933 is worth the upgrade .... or if there are better wireless headphones out there

[@Thetechchap]

+Barnson If my G930's were dying, but before that they were fine for a good few years.. I would buy another pair. Except for fewer drop-outs, I didn't find the G933's much of an upgrade at all.

[@legna20v]

i have the g930 and they drop allot

[@Darkandlight818]

they only drop because of the receiver

[@tari0048]

True that. I fixed it by degrading the software to the older (I think from 2014). Try that and it should stop dropping. Mine only drop 2 times a week compared to at least 2 times a day before.

[@GabbaaGandalf]

my english is not very good but i try to explain that. It is only a software problem and i will say you how to fix it: go to your logitech gaming software folder. than to resources >g930>manifest and than copy the file to your desktop, open the file (device_manifest) with you editor. Now you scroll to the right and search for :

[@o0ThePro0o]

i did everything and still dropping lol i just asked a refund to logitech last week and i bought my g930 2 years ago and they will send me a g933 free :) its better my g930 is dropping 6 times a hour it piss me of..

[@AlejoxonYT]

true

[@felisalina]

I recently bought the G633 a upgrade of my CM Storm cooler master, good headset but i want some 7.1 badass sound :D.

[@flabby261]

if you can try out the g933 i think they have adressed this and the sound is amazing especially if you switch on DTS Headphone X thats in the software.

[@fredericdemarbaix7491]

+The Tech Chap TV what can i get for that price that works on the pc and ps4 with surround?

[@Thetechchap]

+Frederic Demarbaix I'm not actually sure, I'll look into it though for a future video.

[@rinrin2195]

I found the g930 new at the pawnshop for 45 bucks. Should I pass and get the 930s or the 933? Which sounds better? As in surround sound I'll be using on my gaming laptop.

[@sassyrav]

I use my G930 a lot and have had it for up to 2yrs and the leather is good, although on hot days it draws a lot of sweat and I hate that! I treated mine really really well and all of a sudden it just snapped right where it swivels. Glued it back together and within 2 weeks they broke again. Im getting the G933's this time. Another thing I'd have it wired up for charging while still using them and often it will beep saying its going flat....but.....theyre...connected?? This has happened on two pairs now. Another con is the power button. Omg.....on the G930 its very temperamental, hold it in? Press it quick? Hold it for 10 secs? To power it up your have to do it differently everytime. Very frustrating. Looks like its a slide switch on the G933.....ill have that thanks!

[@mrmidnight32]

What your paying for is the drivers, aesthetic deisn, RGB's, new style, better mic integration when stored and mostly just modern looks and small user friendly features. Tech is basically about the same

[@johnmuholland4079]

I had problems with the g930's until i installed one of the old drivers and its been perfect every since! Not sure why people have drop out issues.

[@GabbaaGandalf]

my english is not very good but i try to explain that. It is only a software problem and i will say you how to fix it: go to your logitech gaming software folder. than to resources >g930>manifest and than copy the file to your desktop, open the file (device_manifest) with your editor. Now you scroll to the right and search for :

[@Wolham]

I'd like to object to your statement regarding music listening statement. Whilst these headphones obviously gets their ass whooped by proper audiophile cans dedicated to music, they're still miles ahead of any other gaming headset I have tried in terms of music listening experience.

[@pedrosantanna9925]

Now I have a kraken 7.1 v1 chroma, and I’m thinking of upgrading to the g933, dope or nope

[@Ronni.Petersson]

How do you succeed in getting these to fall off the skull? I can not make mine to fall off even if I have my head down to the floor.

[@SparklyVenom]

I might consider buying the G633, but my main problem is the price. at least for now, G933 go for about 260€ G930 180€ and G633 for 190€. fro me it isn't a necessity to have a gaming headset, just a pare of headphones that have a great sound to them, and don't cost like 200€. :D

[@Thetechchap]

They definitely are very expensive. I'll look into budget options in the future :)

[@ingainloggningsnamn]

G933 goes for 110 euros atm, G930 goes for 160 euros and G633 is at 100 euros. The thing is, I generally prefer wired headsets over wireless and the G633 seems to be equal to G933 except being wired. I'm not sure what to pick.

[@martinhill7304]

How do the ranges compare? i've been using g930 headphones but moved house and am finding the range about two metres short of what I need now, does the G933 use the same dongle transmitter or a different one?

[@HughJNess-ly6er]

Berakh Hvar how are the g30s? Is the dropout really as bad as everyone says ?

[@martinhill7304]

Didn't seem to be a problem for the first few years I had this pair, getting more frequent now, i'm testing with keeping them plugged into a power brick so it's still plugged in if I walk around, seems to be less frequent, need to do more of the things that caused a dropout though, but that tended to need hectic voice comms situations i've not much been in since starting trying this.

[@theimmoralcookie]

Not that anyone would probably see this but I'm just looking for an upgrade/replacement that isn't very expensive compared to the G930 as the right side of the headset has completely died on me and I have had enough of listening through one ear.

[@ThunderKat]

Old ones: Battery die fast and is not easy to replace, also they will brake on the ear covers after prolong use time. PD: You can find this issues on forums arround the world...Still for sound quality logitech does great job for the price they have, except for some cheap wireless models like G110 (big fail).

[@bobbyhill6938]

have them both and can say the sound of the 933/633 is a lot clearer and louder

[@Tjenias4]

bobby hill i am thinking about buying the g933 although I have the g930 right now. would u say it's worth 2 upgrade or not?

[@kickedinthesun]

Thank you for the honest review.

[@leonliangg]

If you use the g933 on ps4 wirelessly, with the dongle, would the headphones still have 7.1 surround?

[@Thetechchap]

unfortunately no - as the surround sound requires the logitech software which you have to download/install on your pc.

[@leonliangg]

+The Tech Chap TV yes, that's unfortunate, but thanks for the answer bro, i appreciate it!

[@Tjenias4]

i am thinking about buying the g933 although I have the g930 right now. would u say it's worth 2 upgrade or not?

[@ndecarteret4003]

rewatch the video

[@dirtbike165]

I also have the 930 and they work perfectly fine but am thinking about upgrading to the 933 because I would like something that I can use with my Xbox One for the 30% of the time I game with that. That is really the only reason why I think I'm going to upgrade, even though when on the Xbox One it will be only stereo sound.

[@byeMaurice]

Cameron Wait the g933 work with Xbox one?

[@dirtbike165]

Ash, from what I've read, yes. Stereo sound only though...

[@ingainloggningsnamn]

Is the surround sound much better than the G35's or is the sound just as shit as the G35 when using 7.1?

[@slayervandanzig3095]

i'm listening this video on a brand new (owning them for less then a half of the day) G930 (OEM box version) and i am hearing some clicks... Why?

[@justicetout]

love your review.

[@Thetechchap]

+justicetout thanks! :)

[@fedez5690]

if i have an g930 and i want another ones, is worth it 130 dollars for the g933 or 67 for another g930?

[@todoculturajapon]

Thank you, guy. Very useful ;)

[@ricoc5954]

At the moment the G930s are 79.99$ and the G633 are 98$ what would you recommend getting?

[@hilleldoron5648]

Can u play wireless to the xbox or is that only from the ps4 and pc

[@chihanlee512]

Hi, I got G35 Headset for years. I accidently drop the headphone and break it into half. :( So i'm looking forward to G933 but I read the review, the mic isn't that great and there are "Auto sleep mode" that turns off your headset every couple mins. Is that true?? The product has been out for 6 months did they fix it?

[@Thetechchap]

The mics actually pretty good - and i've heard of that sleep mode but in practice never experienced any issue with it turning off regularly like that.

[@chihanlee512]

Thank you very much for your time ^^, I'll order it now

[@Atl2s]

How is it? :D I need to know like right now.. I broke my headset and it's part is still stuck in the PC so I need dat wireless

[@OFF-WORLD9732]

Hi, do you recommend me buy this headset? or Siberia 800 or Astro A50?

[@Thetechchap]

+Rodolfo Ramírez López I think the G933's are currently the best you can buy - followed by the A50's.

[@gurmitsingh-pr8mi]

g 930 don't have a hardware issue , you can change the battery turnoff time by editing one of file in installation folder. logitech should update this issue.but for sound quality, g35 are way better than g930. i think because g35 are wired ones.

[@Milkan1986]

I have the G930 Do you recommend me to buy the 933? Thanks mate. (I don't have bluethoot dropout issues with the G930)

[@DTD1233]

It's not bluetooth, it's RF. In the video, he says he doesn't recommend it if you already have the 930, though, to answer your question.

[@thurebox2229]

I had the G933 they break exetremly easy and i had alot of hardware issuses before returning them. If they dont fuck up they are amazing tho

[@dave.h4075]

The g930 are very unstable on windows 10. I've done all the tricks in the book from changing configs in LGS directory to sorting out wireless conflicts and they still don't work. This problem only happened after installing windows 10 so if you still a windows 7 user then this probably wont be an issue. I will not be investing in anything logitech anymore and choose to rather invest in a new brand. I have several mates online who are having all types of issues with these headphones.

[@JohanMJDJ]

I have just ordered the G930. G933 are just too expensive. I'd rather risk the dropout issue. I will be paying $70 for the G930, which I feel is perfect. It's even more cheaper on Amazon than in my country (costs about triple where I am, after I've applied the exchange rate. On the second point, headsets are probably the only peripheral I would purchase if it's wireless. I hate having my current Corsair H1400 wire dangling everywhere. Nice comparison, though. Subcribed

[@Thetechchap]

hope you enjoy them!

[@aleaugustosoares]

Thanks for that buddy. I think I am going for the 933 because I want a good wireless headset and I have never had a wireless one so thanks again for the test. Just one question if anyone can reply it how far can I go away from the receiver with this headset?

[@Thetechchap]

no worries. about 10 metres in my experience (depends on walls etc.)

[@aleaugustosoares]

Got the g933, it is really god damn good. Did it through your link as well. Cheers mate.

[@kraiemyassin294]

found the g633 for 80 euros in a prime day sale, is it a good deal?

[@Thetechchap]

yeah that was a great deal!

[@1234legomaker]

i found the g930 for £35

[@symmetrical3060]

where?

[@fredericdemarbaix7491]

The g930 surround sound doesnt work for me on the ps4 so i'm gone upgrade to the g933 or am i wrong?

[@Thetechchap]

+Frederic Demarbaix The G933 also doesn't support surround sound on the PS4 unfortunately.

[@omarsabbouh1237]

Buy hyperx revolver s or PlayStation platinum

[@carlzimmerman8700]

I've had the the g930s for 3 years and my brother just got the g933s. The g933s definitely sound better then the the g930s. Neither are studio worthy maybe because of the fact they're wireless but logitech has definitely upgraded the sound quality compared to that of the G930s. Is it worth the upgrade if you already own the 930s? Short answer no, not just for the audio quality. Yet if you're deciding which one to buy right now and sound quality is at the top of your list just below wireless, get the 933s.

[@werwerqweqwe]

Also worth it if you want improved battery life and no connectivity issues.

[@olivertemple5532]

I have a problem. I have a G933 and i can´t to awacke can you help me ?

[@Thetechchap]

+Oliver Temple errm well have you charged it? Was it working before but suddenly won't turn on? Might be just plain dead - get in touch with logitech?

[@larswillems9886]

I know this isn't about headphones but I want to ask yo u this: I want to buy a WQHD monitor and they aren't that cheap, do you know wich one is the best one for around €300-350. btw your videos are always amazing!

[@Thetechchap]

+Lars Willems Thanks Lars! For that budget I would recommend the Dell u2515h

[@larswillems9886]

+The Tech Chap TV Tank you verry much:)

[@jeffchen3446]

Where can I buy spare batteries for the G933?

[@jeffchen3446]

***** Where on the website?

[@jeffchen3446]

***** Thanks, I found it, didn't expect it to be so cheap at $10 though.

[@equasezy1]

What is that keyboard man please answer?!?! Razer blackwidow 2014-2016 or chroma ??

[@Thetechchap]
