In case you weren't aware. The general consensus for this headset and mic is: Don't use the regular jacks. But switch to the USB port that's added with it. It improves the sounds a LOT better (and doesn't sound like this.)

[@DoctorWhom]

@@SocialHardware What is he suggesting? boosting the default sample rate? I don't have a headset yet, gathering information today.

[@ElementalSk81]

@@DoctorWhom Basically changing the audio frequency for a higher sound output...if that makes sense. I had the g430's and remember doing the same thing years ago, since by default the headset is set to studio quality playback( iirc) which sounds clear but very low in comparison to Fm quality( being the loudest while still clear) or even cd quality which is right in-between. Kinda confusing through text but if you mess around with it in sound control panel for your headsets, it'll explain itself really.

[@ruthven78]

problem with all Logitech G headsets in the DJ-Style is that they will break where the earpiece connects to the headband. Had two pairs of G430 and now got the G432 (last two were warranty replacements) and they are the exact same design. The junction is the same on all of the DJ-Style headsets. The G432 has lower quality audio than the G430 when comparing analog only (3.5mm jacks). It is fine for watching netflix or youtube but for gaming a lot the game sounds were distant or muffled sounding. Ive had $20 planttronic headphones that sounded exceptionally louder than these. Since I use an external USB soundboard I cannot use the USB TDAC.

[@aLittleOtaku]

I bought these for about 50€ and I would say they are one of the best in the price range. After I used them for some time they stretch a bit, so the don't are so tight anymore. The mic isn't the best, but when you tweaky around with an equalizer or something, it sounds good. When you only need a mic to comm in games or in discord you don't need to do anything. The speakers lack some bass on standert settings, but I just make a "V-Shape" in the qualizer settings for listening to music.

It would've been nice if you had tested the sidetone feature and commented on that. Too many reviewers gloss over this feature, even though it might be a big factor for a lot of people when getting a new headset.

[@MrMoppeh]

wat is sidetone

[@TheTrueBloodish]

​@@MrMoppeh Sidetone is like an instant feedback of your mic to your own headset. It's sort of like when you're talking in a phone, you can still hear yourself a little bit, but good sidetone is like an enhancement of that. Sidetone helps you hear your own voice, and especially your pronunciation of some letters, especially the S's. It's a nice feature, that helps you control your own voice level while talking to others online. If you can't hear your own voice properly, you might talk louder than normally.

[@MrMoppeh]

@@TheTrueBloodish oh hell, monitoring? see i just upgraded from G430 to 432, and was disapointed as i thought it didnt have any monitoring / cant hear my vocie any more. How do i turn on?

[@TheTrueBloodish]

@@MrMoppeh In GHUB, click on the headset, and then there should be a sidetone slider. At 8:33 in the video you can see him navigate to that part, but he just never touches the slider or comments on if it's good or not.

[@MrMoppeh]

@@TheTrueBloodish amazing, works a dream. Yes this is such an important feature of a good headset imo.

g432 or g430? i loved the G430, but the G432 is just way tooo quiet with the soundcard, how did you fix that?

[@alteragent]

I like your funny words, magic man.

[@chrishawly]

I don't know why people complain about tightness. Lot's of things people wear need to be broken in or fitted like shoes or baseball gloves. Headsets are generally one size fits all, so they will come out of the box tight. You just put the headset around something over night like a basketball or whatever and it will be good. If not put it around for another night. It's better to have a tight headset that you can stretch than an overly sized headset.

[@alonavikzer2275]

Does anyone knows if the 7.1 virtual surround sound work with the ps4?

[@SocialHardware]

Unfortunately not, 7.1 is only possible via the PC

[@the_grass_trainer]

Edit: I can no longer say I am satisfied with this purchase. After 1 year of use the right ear cup broke off, and all i did was set the headset down. I never once threw it, or dropped it. It hung from a hook on my pc when not in use, and just a couple weeks ago it broke when i set it on my desk. It felt better quality than it really was, i suppose. So glad I got my G432 Headset for $60 USD in 2023. I've been using an older Logitech Headset from 2016 (probably meant for office work), and needed to upgrade due to comfort issues as well as one earmuff had snapped off. The G432 is definitely an upgrade for me, but the lack of a controller at least for a physical mute button is a bummer, though flipping the mic upwards seems Logi-cal! I give it a 7/10 overall. Sucks the cable isn't just a USB instead of the lame 3.5mm jack.

Sound + Mic quality seems fine to me since I plug it into my case 3.5mm jack and the audio codec chip that's embedded onto my motherboard is an ALC887 by Realtek. However, I'd like to consider that the build quality seems to be questionable as I had an older model of these pair before (Logitech G332). The older ones were broken due to the wear of the plastic swivel on one of the speaker. I was just an unlucky customer. My only wish is that they made the cable for this headset detachable from the speakers. This would be great since you don't have to worry about yanking the cable by accident thus causing damage.
