About this deal

The added flexibility of the in-line microphone will also prove useful to anyone who travels regularly – but, of course, the sound quality won’t be up to the same standard. If you’re playing from home, though, this really is an excellent choice for in-game chat. Should I buy the Logitech G433? title=More%20Expert%20Tech%20Roundups&type=articles%2Cvideos&tags=tech-roundup&count=6&columnCount=6&theme=article

The Logitech G433 is slightly bass heavy, like many other gaming headsets. Compared to our ideal headphone response curve the sound profile of the Logitech G433 emphasizes both the bass frequencies broadly around 100 Hz, as well as some of the high end frequencies (particularly with that bump around 5-6kHz). These deviations from our ideal curve do firmly place the Logitech G433 inside of its price range, as these sound issues are fairly common at this price point. It’s not a bad sounding headset at all, it just has a few flaws. This means it’s not ideal for professional audio work, but sounds just fine for gaming. I tested it with a few rounds of Halo Infinite and found that it represented the chaos of guns, grenades, and twenty-sixth century fistfights quite nicely. Lows, mids, and highs I tested the headset in multiple games- Gears of War, Battlefield 1, and Prey being among them, and I enjoyed a truly crisp sound. Apart from PCs, the headset worked great with consoles, too. You will not get a virtual surround due to the availability of a USB soundcard, though. You have to plug the 4-pole connector into the console. If you wish, you can plug the mobile cable into the Xbox One or PS4, but personally, I prefer the PC audio cable. Not only the boom mic sounds better, but I also like the mute switch and volume dial it features. Logitech has tried to find the balance between affordability and the integration of all essential features that would make the G433 an all-rounder headset. I do not know many people who have separate headsets for gaming, listening to music, watching movies, and outdoor use. It seems G433 offers all these features under one roof. Not bad at all. Wired and wireless gaming headsets from Logitech G are comfortable for extended periods. Made from durable materials, PC headsets feature great microphones for communication with other gamers, and outstanding audio quality so every detail comes through. The headset also offers virtual surround sound when using the USB DAC, which can be used to enhance the soundstage in games. It will never be able to match the likes of a dedicated home theatre, but it’s certainly worth experimenting with, since it can help games such as Mass Effect: Andromeda to ‘open up’.

I found it a bit challenging to get the headset recognized on my PC supporting Windows 10, but I am likely to believe the problem was on my end. Anyway, no need to babble about that. The versatility of the G433 can be seen in the form of the detachable microphones and cables that come bundled with the headset. The optimal configuration for console gamers will be to use the boom microphone and 4-pole 3.5mm cable, while PC gamers can utilise the included USB DAC for 7.1 virtual surround sound. An additional cable includes an in-line microphone – useful for portable gaming on the daily commute.

Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. See how we test.Gaming audio is critical for playing at your best. Gaming headsets and speakers from Logitech G deliver immersive surround sound, crystal-clear mics for voice/chat communication, and customizable EQ to acoustically tune for the best sound. The top of the headset is made of plastic material, and the underside of the headband is covered with cloth-covered foam. The ear cups are replaceable, super flexible and you can rotate them through 90 degrees. The headset ships with cloth and microfiber pads. I have to admit that ear pads swapping gave me a hard time. I wish it was easier to take off the pads that are already on the headset. To sum up, G433 is a good value for money as it combines flexibility, versatility, and affordability. It works well with PC and consoles, and you can easily plug the headset into your mobile device (Sorry, iPhone 7 users) and listen to music during your daily commute.

The carrying case is a soft, zip-up pouch that comfortably holds the headset with the earcups folded flat. It also has room for both cables and the extra earpads, but unless you use some method to keep the cables neatly looped (we recommend hook-and-loop strips), you're inviting an annoying tangle every time you pull your headset out. Game Performance I think the price is a little steep, however, as it’s not built to feel expensive, and the sound quality doesnt sound much better than cheaper competitors. But if you’re after something that’s highly flexible and is great for gaming, then the G433 is worthy of your cash.If you are looking for headset suitable for heavy in-game use (MMO raiding, for example) and listening to music on the go, give G433 a shot. The virtual surround improves the soundstage in games and I am pretty sure Mass Effect: Andromeda fans will appreciate it. The in-line microphone is also a great solution for in-game chat. The Logitech G433 is a wired gaming headset offering virtual 7.1 surround sound, two detachable microphones and a unique fabric covering. Regardless of whether you’re a PC or console gamer, the headset has been designed to work without fuss, with easy setup and plenty of connectivity options. Another thing I liked about the G433 was that it spared me the creaking sounds. Most headsets require you to stand still and every body movement causes a frustrating creaking sound. You can have your headset up and running without fiddling with the Logitech Software, but if you want to make the most out of the DTS Headphone:X virtual surround, you have to use the USB adapter and spend some time adjusting the settings to your personal taste.

Hydrophobic, stain-resistant fabric shell and comes with two sets of ear pads – sports mesh and microfiberPlaying games and listening to music with the G433 left me suitably impressed for a headset in this price range. There’s tight competition from the HyperX Cloud II and Corsair Void, but I’m happy to report that the Logitech holds its own. It’s the most versatile of the three, and its sound quality is similar to the Void, but a little less detailed than the Cloud II. Both of those headsets are much cheaper, however, and the G433 doesn’t sound significantly better. The top of the headset is made from a scratchy plastic material, with the underside of the headband layered in a generous helping of cloth-covered foam. The entire top section can be extended to fit any size of head, and the ear cups rotate through 90 degrees for added flexibility. Detachable boom mic and two audio cables included to work with PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and mobile
