“Felt the need to shed a little light on a few things. : Okay, so I’ve had this set for almost 3 years now. About a month ago I did have to replace the charger (my own fault, cord got damaged) and while I was doing so I replaced the battery for the first time as, with all rechargeables, it had degraded a bit. Going through logitech’s website I was able to get the battery kit for 5 and the charger for 10. I’m hoping to get another 3 years out of this set.
Some updated impressions: After 3 years the faux leather covering over the ear pads has worn off a bit. I wear glasses and I’ve noticed that most of the wear is where my glasses rub them. I can’t fault logitech for this really, and I don’t notice it when I wear them.
My signal range seems to have degraded just a little, and I’m considering replacing the wireless dongle as well (which can be done directly through logitech for 10 bucks).
I won’t deny the photo evidence regarding the plastic ear cup joints that people have posted in the comments on this review, but I will say that I’ve had this headset for almost 3 years, I’m a bit of a clumsy drunk at times (especially when gaming), and while I definitely haven’t abused the headset it has been dropped from time to time. Other than the ear pad coverings and a few scuffs, you’d never know it wasn’t brand new. Maybe I’m just lucky, I don’t know, but the three headsets I bought before this one (all in the 50-100 dollar range) each lasted less than a year. Under the same treatment, this headset has outlasted all 3 of them. Honestly, if they broke right now I would probably buy the same set again. I haven’t found much else that provides the same functionality in the same price range.
My long term impression of sound quality–audiophiles prolly wouldn’t be satisfied, you can’t crank them obscenely loud with strong bass without hearing some distortion. However, they definitely more hold their own in terms of gaming oriented headsets. At reasonable volume levels they’re crisp and clear with good bass. I have grown addicted to the 7.1. I often tell people in first person shooters that 70% of my aiming is through sound at this point. It’s hard to play without it.
My only real complaint is that the software is a bit buggy. Sometimes you have to relaunch it for the headset to be recognized properly and to get proper 7.1 playback. It’s not much of a problem…but it can be annoying.
First, off, I’ve only had this headset for a day. I can’t really go into detail about sound quality, how good the surround sound is, etc. However, I feel like I need to clarify a couple of things.
There are two major issues that people have been complaining about with this headset: the “flimsy plastic” joints holding the ear cups on, and the lack of a graphic equalizer. Please disregard anyone who mentions either of these two “problems,” because it is completely false.
If you look closely at the ear cup joints, yes, there is plastic there. However, if you pay attention, the plastic isn’t actually the part that’s moving. It’s merely a covering for the actual joint. On the back of the box, under “Durability,” it clearly states that the joints are made from an aircraft grade aluminum alloy. This is a very well made product guys, I get no sense that, if treated properly (take your game rage out on something that costs a bit less, children) it will ever break on me.
Now, I’m not quite sure why people are saying there’s no graphic equalizer, and that they are limited to bass and treble adjustments. Directly below the bass/treble bars, there’s a big button that looks like a graphic equalizer. If you click it, guess what happens. Yep, a 10 band EQ pops right up, complete with preamp volume adjustment. If you have this turned on, it grays out and overrides the bass/treble adjustments.
Now that I’ve cleared that up, I’ll give my one day impressions on the product.
Super comfortable. I have a fairly large head, and yes, the headset does squeeze a little tighter than what you might be used to, but that’s because the headband is made of metal and not cheap plastic. It’s the squeeze of quality, learn to love it. It’s not a bad thing at all, you just might not be used to it. After a few days of breaking it in, I doubt I’ll even notice.
The sound quality seems fantastic so far. I’m still working on getting it to sound just right with my game of choice, TF2. With movies, music, tv shows, etc, it’s just amazing. Crystal clear, rich, amazing sound.
I initially had problems with the mic, people in Team Fortress 2 were telling me that it was cutting out, and screwing up sound for everyone (if you’ve ever played the game, you know what I’m talking about). This was fixed by turning the mic gain way way down. I’ve been so used to mics that are super quiet, so I had windows set to max out and boost mic input, and maxed out mic input through the game as well. Turned the levels down quite a bit and presto, clear as a bell.
One thing I don’t like, the mic level resets itself every time I unplug the headset (rather, the usb dongle) then plug it back up. It remembers every other setting, just not mic gain. I’ve solved this by setting one of the G keys to reduce mic gain, so if I ever launch a game and accidentally leave it set too high, I can easily fix it on the fly.
Speaking of the G keys, I was kind of disappointed that they work with ventrilo, but not teamspeak. No big deal though. Still, I was hoping to be able to sit on my porch and chill in our TS channel and be able to chat with people. (I have to go outside to smoke here…ahem >.>…you know what I mean.)
The wireless range and battery life really seem to be just as good as advertised, which was a very nice surprise. I can go anywhere in my house and still have completely clear audio. The majority of my front porch gets signal as well, and that’s going between three walls. Last night I went in game with only a partial charge, the software said 7 hours of battery life left. I played a little over two hours, left game, and it said I still had five hours left. Good stuff.
I love this headset. Completely. After years of frustration over broken wires ruining headsets, I could not be happier with this product. If you’ve got a nice, functioning headset already, like a g35 or whatever, I couldn’t justify telling you to purchase this. However, if you’ve got a cheap POS, or if you’re in the market to buy a new headset because you rolled over your current pair’s wires one too many times with your chair, I couldn’t recommend this enough. I’ve never spent this much money on one before, I’ve always been in the 50-70 dollar range. Dropping 160 wasn’t easy for me to do, money is tight these days. I don’t regret the purchase at all. — R.

“amazing multipurpose headset : In my video review here I mostly offered general raves about how much I like the headset. It’s true, the headset really amazes me with its quality and ease of use.
Because my nicer desktop crashed not too long ago, I’ve been without good sound. Yes, I have a 5.1 speaker system and an adapter to make it work with my laptop, but it’s not the same.
This headset allows for a significant boost in the quality of audio in games, with music and video, and just about every other way.
I have tried and been disappointed by other products claiming to adapt sound to fit to a 5.1 system. Lots of promises, but the actual result is subpar. With the Logitech G930, the promises really do work out. The sound quality is top notch. Yes, the 5.1 and 7.1 sound is software driven, but the software works great and works great without being needlessly bloated, complicated or distracting. There is a simple panel that shows the level of charge, gives options for volume levels of overall volume, microphone, sidetone (how much you hear yourself in the headset), and basic treble and bass sliders. There is an option to shift these basic adjustments to a more full equalizer. In the bottom right corner, you can control the volume of each of the 7.1 simulated speakers in the headset, allowing you to balance it out as you wish. In the bottom left corner is the G-Key section where you can assign or adjust the three g-key buttons on the headset itself.
All very straightforward. Though, at first I was frustrated because I wasn’t getting surround sound. A quick look in the provided manual pointed out the surround sound switch on the headset, right under the power button. When it is down, surround sound is on, and the icon on the screen turns red. Easy answer to the problem.
All in all, this headset delivers what it promises. I compared the quality of it while plugged in and while wireless, and found there was absolutely no difference in sound quality or response, meaning the wireless capability delivers.
So, I’d definitely recommend this for gaming. Indeed, this is where the headset will really be able to shine, as it uses the full 7.1 sound and microphone. But, it goes beyond being useful for gaming. For those with a less than stellar audio setup, this might be a great, relatively cheap alternative to getting a high-end sound card and speakers. This is especially true for most of us who can’t exactly boost the sound whenever we want without disturbing other family members. This is a great headset for listening to music, or as I used it yesterday, for language learning software like Rosetta Stone.
This headset blocks a significant amount of noise, and also contains its own noise very nicely. I turned on a song with heavy bass, turned up the volume, sat next to my wife, and she said should couldn’t hear it. The microphone also is advanced. While recording the video I had a fan blowing on me, and there was a neighbor using a leafblower outside. The microphone took care of these often very irritating sounds.
So, all in all, I couldn’t be more pleased. The Logitech headset meets and exceeds my expectations. Indeed, they perform as promised, something that sadly far too few games or accessories do. These definitely earn five stars, and more if I could give them based on how much my audio experience has been boosted over the last several days. — Patrick Oden”
