Logitech's new release of the next line of headphones is out and they were gracious enough to send us a pair. Wrapped in a revealing box, the Logitech G430 Surround Sound Gaming Headset looks good in person and on paper. But looks aren't everything. Let us tell you about our experience.

Installation; Logitech Gaming Software; Audio Quality; Comfort and Weight

Tightness

We use all of our senses when it comes to gaming and the overall experience is a combination of what we feel. Certainly, the sense of hearing cannot be set aside in gaming. After all, it is fun to hear the explosions and all the action in a game.

Everything that's included in the retail package. A view of the Logitech G430 earcups. The Logitech G430's in-line controls and 3.5mm connectors. The G430's USB adapter. In addition to the Dolby sound test that comes with the Logitech software, I also tested the G430 while playing Bioshock: Infinite...

Excellent surround sound; Comfortable over-the-ear design; Adjustable microphone; Funky color scheme; Easy-to-use in-line controls; USB adapter

Logitech has been on the top of their game lately, especially in regards to their lineup of gaming products. I recently reviewed the Logitech G700s Gaming Mouse, and was extremely impressed with it.

I was using the Plantronics GameCom before I bought these headsets, they were really good. Logitech G430 may not be better but is on par with the sound quality, The surround sound works good but it can only amaze you if you are a gamer.

Logitech has not spared any expense at creating gaming audio peripherals for their user base and with the Logitech G430, they continue to bring the best quality their brand can offer and yet at a more attracitive price point.

Immersive Audio; Lightweight

No G-Key customisation; Does not feel comfortable for long durations

"You get what you pay for" is especially salient when it comes to gaming tech, but sometimes a product offers more than you'd expect for the price. The Logitech G430 ($80 list, $60 on Amazon) is one of the cheaper gaming headsets on the market, and yet you get decent audio quality, smart product...

Very comfortable; Smart physical design; Decent sound

Limited software features; Music sounds unimpressive; Surround sound doesn't deliver

The Logitech G430 didn't blow me away when compared to high-end gaming headsets, but it definitely stands at the front of the pack among headsets in the same price range. It does a little bit of everything and won't disappoint you in any area. It's a solid, all-around gaming headset.
