What's the good and the bad with the Logitech G435?

[@merciless972]

They're nice for what they are. And are a steal when they go on sale. Love how quickly I can switch from my work PC to my Nintendo switch

[@saintgtx]

I have the Logitech G733 headset for gaming, but during my Zoom calls I would get a lot of questions like "Are you a gamer?". It just looks unprofessional even with the RGB turned off. I opted to get the G435 and I was really impressed with the quality for the price! Yea it's not the best, but not having a boom arm for the mic and the low key aesthetic make it a perfect headset for working form home. Not to mention the super long battery life. I love it!

[@EightSixMatt]

It does the trick enough for me still. Still my daily driver when playing!

[@fleetkidn]

The keyboard test should be part of every headphones with mic 👍

[@EightSixMatt]

People seem to appreciate them so I try and incorporate them in most mic related things 😄

[@Aidan-qd2pt]

the mic problem that u heard in recording than what ur friend heard in discord is because discord has things that make your mic sound like something else with the built in noise suppression etc..

[@mxrt0]

Do you know how to fix that? I am currently having this problem where my g435 microphone sounds really poor on discord

[@reinamari8417]

worst headset ever

Great review and this is a great headset. Regarding the mic, bump the gain down in the device that you connect it to. I did that on my Mac and the mic sounds solid.

[@EightSixMatt]

Thanks for the tip I’ll give it a shot and see if I notice anything 😁

[@markshupe266]

Honestly thought you were meming about the mic. Then I heard it, wow, your friend was right, it sounds great NoCap

[@Alen_Mcfly]

I was finding it hard to decide between these g435's and the HyperX Stinger Wireless, since they were at the same price, and had lots of things in common but ended up buying the HyperX because of its movable microphone and overall quality. Hope I made the right choice

[@EightSixMatt]

Oh I’m sure you’ll be happy with those! I have read plenty of praise about the HyperX Stinger models

[@thomasre9382]

You'll be fine, Cloudx has really good warranty, and good build quality. I had my cloud flight for 3 years, now, and I slept on them serveral times, and the hinges havent broke like my razer ones.

[@Flyingboots1]

No you didn't lmao!

[@patirckable]

Would you say that this is good in terms of price to performance? Been thinking of getting one since its a plug and play solution and I'm not the type of person that adjusts the settings of my headset so the lack of ghub support shouldn't be and issue.

[@hermanhuge6109]

Really good review! I recently got my hands on the headset and LOVE the build quality and weight. I feel way to many companies try to make their product feel "premium" instead of choosing the right material for the job. I just have one issue. At lower volume levels, there is a ton of distortion. The issue can be reliable reproduced by playing a sine wave below 440 hz at low volumes. It sounds like a 70s carton ray gun instead of a clear tone. I'm trying to figure out if this is a problem with unit or the headset in general. Have you noticed any distortion or static?

[@EightSixMatt]

Interesting, I have not but I can attempt to recreate this and see when I’m back around the headset (hoping I don’t forget)

[@hermanhuge6109]

@@EightSixMatt That would be amazing! I really want to keep it for the weight and clamping force, but I don't think I can bear with the audio issues I'm having in the long run.

[@dinubogdan8315]

I bought this and they are most versatile headphones they are light colorful nice build and the sound it s good and some bass just plug and play and you cand find under 50 euro. If you want for serious sesion of games to hear everything they are not the best but if you want a versatile and casual go for it. I have g635 for serious games and this for media and casual games but don t get me wrong there are fine for shooters etc but not amazing.

[@EightSixMatt]

Nicely said

[@AZTEC_ARTS2023]

Is there ANY delay between what you hear and what happens on the screen in FPS games (example : COD) ?

[@isaacgemzon5585]

This is actually a nice review 👍 your underated

[@EightSixMatt]

I appreciate that! Thanks for the kind words :)

[@kenyyify]

I actually hate this headset. Keeps muting or losing connection to computer on random timings. Also having to use weird solution to fix these problems. Also the volume keeps changing between good and suddenly being super low audio, even on full volume. Also have had feedback from friends that the mic sometimes have a lot of background noise. This headset have seriously made me rage at several times. I will burn it when my new headset arrives. Having that said, when it work like it should it's a 4/5. Very light and comfortable and good sound.

[@EightSixMatt]

Oof sounds like it’s out to get you! What are you replacing with out of curiosity?

[@kenyyify]

@@EightSixMatt It seemed like it yes! I replaced it with DT990 Pro. I'll be sticking to wired headphones for the future

[@EightSixMatt]

@@kenyyify Doyou use a mic or modmic setup with those? I've never used anything from Beyerdynamic

[@kenyyify]

@@EightSixMatt Yes, DT 990 pro is only for audio.

[@joeffyy]

How would you compare the audio and bass quality of the g435 to that of the g332?

[@EightSixMatt]

Not too dissimilar likely. Mic is likely a little nicer sounding on the 332 as its a wired variant of the 733. The 435 is still my daily driver for ease of use and comfort. I haven't had hands on with the 332, but I would anticipate it to be similar to the 733 which is very similar to the 435 already.

[@Beasthq]

Ur the best bro it worked thank you

[@hudsonb5397]

I bought one, I really liked it, but in RDR Online I couldn't get its microphone to work, can anyone have a problem with it in Red Dead Online? I've already messed with the settings, changed things and nothing, I tested it on WhatsApp web and the mic is working fine.

[@swervature]

Typing while talking is the 2022 version of walking and chewing gum. Great review. My first thought was Fisher-Price then you said Playskool. Which teaches kids how not to spell, btw. "You wanna play air traffic controller, Jimmy? Or Les Nesman? We can promote a The Who concert and then trample some kittens!"

[@EightSixMatt]

Lol

[@duckeofficial227]

I already brought them, with nvidia rtx voice, the mic sounds verry good why u do anything because has noise surpression. Nice review though

[@EightSixMatt]

Not everyone uses RTX or RTX voice. I share the raw, not modified, sounds to be fair for people. It’s up to them to hear and say ‘I bet I can do XYZ’ and be okay with that 👍:)

[@hermanhuge6109]

Good point with the rtx voice. I prefer the microphone being out of my face for zoom calls and light gaming. For sound-quality-sensitive applications I'd just use a stationary microphone or a ModMic.

[@TheMaziqueen]

Wow, I didn't know about this. Makes a huge difference since I use a mechanical keyboard with blues. Love my switches but didn't want my gaming friends hearing those clicks.

[@Layarion]

sounds better than that red dragon holly hell, you really thought that reddragon "was on par"? maybe it was all the plosives in the red. this one does pick up all that reverb though.

[@EightSixMatt]

Wireless headsets are different from wired headsets in terms of mics to me (at least in my experience) I tend to think of them differently from wired counterparts (because they are). So far good higher quality wireless rests on the deeper pocket end of the spectrum in my experience.

[@sks4728]

They could have gone with a white light for LightSpeed...

[@lordlotvs6728]

how do i improve my mic's sound PLS

[@sidaroonie]

the quality of the audio is fine but the mic quality is so horrible and echos on discord and game chat. I really need a new mic for cheap

[@EightSixMatt]

Go listen to the fifine headset I looked at recently, skip to that mic part. It might be wired but damn if that’s not a good mic for not that much money

[@walterferreira5756]

After hours using it, does it feel uncomfortable?

[@benjaminlaurent3839]

is it possible to use it while recharging the battery ?

[@EightSixMatt]

They can be plugged in charging, but they need the dongle also plugged in to your device to use. (I'll confirm this when I get back to them for you, but thats how the 733s work also, can charge simultaneously as well as be used with the dongle inserted. They don't transmit/receive over the USB though).

[@mauricewilson7584]

How old is that keyboard? I have a new keyboard and I don’t even hear it.

[@EightSixMatt]

The keyboards not old, just a louder mechanical keyboard. If you're using Discord, or something built in from your GPU manufacturer (like Nvidia RTX Voice or AMD Suppression) they do a great job at detracting from sound. When I type I use raw recording and no passive filters to give people an idea (hopefully) of what raw sounds like pre-3rd party sound altering.

[@huyhoangg3802]

i have problem with connecting my G435 to my PC via dongle (the cyan light keeps blinking) is anyone there in this situation?

[@kimcapa904]

I have the same problem as yours. anyone experiencing the same thing? before I return it to the merchant XD

[@andrewzanas9387]

​78 yr old non-gamer here. Got it working via bluetooth by going to settings on my Google chromebook. Make sure you have the accompanying dongle plugged in to the usb connection on your android chromebook. I assume it works the same on Windows. I hit the time indication in the lower right screen on my chromebook shelf, then clicked on the gear symbol appearing on top of the chromebook screen, opened settings, found bluetooth, then found pairing, G435 was not listed there, however, pressed and held the headset's green lit top button for 3 seconds until it flashed blue, and "G435" appeared on the chromebook screen. Clicked on it and it finally paired, hooray! Couldn't get it to work wirelessly without using bluetooth and the dongle. There are other functions too but the gamers blow through or skip over them while talking mostly about how pretty the headset is. If you delay using the headset for any length of time it automatically shuts off to preserve power but we don't have to set the headset up again, just power it back on. It is an awesome headset. Very comfortable all day even on my ginormously thick head.

[@andrewzanas9387]

Just tried resetting it for wireless without the dongle and it worked. Not only that but it now has twice the volume it did on bluetooth at 100%.

[@Squilly0]

can it connect to PC?

[@EightSixMatt]

With the dongle absolutely. That's the primary use in my case.

[@dafly46543]

@@EightSixMatt Good luck with that. I had a $200 gaming headset from them and they didn't honer their warranty. The only reason I am considering these is because of the reviews and its on sale. I'm looking for a lightweight and comfortable wireless headset that are cheap with a good battery life. I hate the thought of giving Logitech my money, but it seems like my options are slim for my needs. My suggestion is maybe buy an other pair and return the old ones in the box to the store. Logitech warranty department, treats people like someone they can take advantage of. I don't know if it was because I purchased a gaming headset and they just assumed I was some kid or what, but I think the fact they were a gaming headset they assumed they can get away with ripping off their customers.

These are garbage. I got them and returned them one hour after. They fit nicely and are light but they not for gaming at all...maybe they okay for phone use or music I guess. I got the blackshark v2 and the sound is probably more than double the quality and volume.

[@Exirock]

one hour... that is not even enough to test it well, but these headset its more for casual gamers and not for lets say more competitve like COD, Blackshark v2 they good audio and mic but the rest is cheap material that can break easily just like many other razer headsets, they good audio and mic's but the outside its the cheapest in the market and they tend to overprice their stuff, has for this headset for a wireless and its a good headset its worth the money.

[@xWinnersCirclex]

@@Exirock bro I don’t need 1 hour to realise that the sound quality is bad. It was worse than my JBL in ear phones which I was looking to upgrade. The blacksharks were 10x louder and better the moment I put them on. But yeah it’s probably okay for casual but my jbl ear phones were still better for like 10% of the price.

[@xWinnersCirclex]

@@Exirock and my black sharks are def not cheap material i dropped these plenty times they awesome they strong and has great Audio. At the end of tue day audio matters most what use is it having headphones if they suck at what they were made for

@@xWinnersCirclex then you have a build brick headset cause i had one and soon it falled from my desk it broke the ajust slide, same happen to my Kraken X, either it was bad manufactured ones or simply i had bad luck with razer products, but like i sayed good audio and mic but cant say razer products are the best on the market, for example i have a Sony headphone that i use outdoors that costed me 20$ very good audio and they have falled down multiple times and only thing it got was scratches and its all made of plastic.

[@xWinnersCirclex]

@@Exirock maybe you were unlucky or maybe I’m lucky 😂 but I have always used Razer and they been good for me but I’m sure the Logitech ones is good for music and stuff I just prefer hard core for gaming but thanks for warning I’ll try not drop mine Razers so they don’t break bro 😊

[@michaelomode630]

Do yourself a favor and avoid...avoid Logitech period. The stuff "might" work for 3 months after that...no way. I have had so many Logitech products they break so fast. In fact very fast. And they are not cheap either.. One of their headphones actually caused me to have earache. I did not realize what was the cause. Be careful.
