When Logitech offered to send over the Logitech G432 7.1 surround sound gaming headset for review I was initially really excited to try something that might compete with my current and beloved Logitech G Pro's.

So here's the good and the bad..

Good: 7.1 surround sound is awesome and the included DAC really makes a difference especially when playing in FPS games where hearing the opposition is the difference between winning or losing.

Bad: The microphone is average at best. I mean its fine for what it's designed to do but you're not going to be wanting to live stream with this microphone anytime soon..

Now with the comfort its obviously going to depend from person to person but I found these to be super tight and basically felt like after a few hours like my head was being squeezed and never really felt comfortable with them...

So if you can get them for under $100 then I think you have a got yourself a good deal, but for the asking price of $149 I think you are personally better off getting the Logitech G Pro or even Hyper X Cloud as even though they don't have 7.1 I don't think you'll really miss and the mic's on those headsets are far far better!

Thanks again to Logitech for supporting the channel!

Let me know what you think!

See you in the next video. Cheers.

Speaking of poor sound, I crank my laptop to 100 and I still can't hear you.

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.)

i found a way to make it sound better, go to sound control panel, go to recording, click on the mic with the headset then press properties, go to advanced, and put the one with highest hz

[Zagueirobilly]

Sounded pretty good to me. You were probably using a much better mic to record the review but its decent for gaming I think.

You need to work on audio balancing. Your voice went from really quite to really loud. You can do this in adobe premier by highlighting the hole video and then normalize max peaks.

Im hearing my friend use these headphones over discord right now and the quality is far far better than what is shown on the video. He's got it connected straight to his PC not using the USB dongle. Maybe thats where the degredation lies?

[gavindunlap]

As long as the speakers are good I'm happy about it. I don't care if my mic is bad because I don't have to hear it lol. Thanks for the honest review, but I think I'll still get them since they're $30 off on the Logitech site.

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.

I think the mic sounds good for a gaming headset

[ericettljud]

As long as you use the included usb-sound-card you'll be fine. I love mine. almost studio quality in voice-chats and gaming.

[charlislusher]

Great review, price is pretty alright (79.99 CAD), and I don't make many calls, might be a downgrade from a G930 I was given but I trust it'll work for my needs :)

[TheTrueBloodish]

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.

[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.

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.

[ruthven]

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.

[IAMMIKEO]

But the headset mic quality is better than the mic you used throughout the whole review...lol. Thanks for your opinion. Mic doesn’t really sound TOO bad for $50.

[chrisburns]

I use the 4-5 year old model g40whatever and the sound is fantastic. Highs are ridiculous and lows are perfect for Warzone footsteps. My only issue with it is hearing myself, though my friends don’t complain, i have to yell to hear myself. Capture range is ridonkulous, picks up the faintest sounds

[thetoodlepip]

Seems decent got mine for £29.99 so got a bargain on a decent headset thanks for the review

[hsavage]

You really deserve more subscribers, the amount of time and effort you put into your videos is astonishing! Well done!

[GTSongwriter]

It's been 4 years since your review. How's your Logitech G Pro holding up? Did you have to buy a new one or is it still working?
