The 7.1 surround sound adds a sense of depth when you play Prey or you want to locate the origins of the distant shots in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. However, if you are listening to stereo-only sources on the PC, you’d be better off if you disable it. Logitech G433 Headset Software Logitech’s software is simple, intuitive, and lean. And of course it has the added benefit of controlling all your Logitech gaming gear. I would like to see the Automatic Gain Control toggle exposed here (more on that in a bit), but otherwise it’s hard to find anything to complain about. 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.
DTS Headphone:X 2.0 is the latest version of object-based sound imaging from DTS. Version 2.0 takes 7.1 channel surround sound further than ever with enhanced bass rendering, audio clarity and proximity cues. And most importantly, a new level of distance awareness differentiates between near field and far field audio, so your enemy’s location is pinpointed more than ever. Hydrophobic, stain-resistant fabric shell and comes with two sets of ear pads – sports mesh and microfiber I’ve been PCMag’s home entertainment expert for over 10 years, covering both TVs and everything you might want to connect to them. I’ve reviewed more than a thousand different consumer electronics products including headphones, speakers, TVs, and every major game system and VR headset of the last decade. I’m an ISF-certified TV calibrator and a THX-certified home theater professional, and I’m here to help you understand 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and even 8K (and to reassure you that you don’t need to worry about 8K at all for at least a few more years). 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.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.
Of course, they work great with consoles, too. You don’t get virtual surround (since it relies on the USB soundcard), but just plug the 4-pole connector into your Xbox One or PS4 controller and you get clear stereo sound and mic input. You can use the mobile cable with consoles if you prefer the in-line mic, but the boom mic sounds better and the PC audio cable has a mute switch and volume dial, which come in handy. Gaming, on the other hand, is where the G433 excelled. My testing took place over several hours with Prey and Gears Of War 4 – and I was impressed. 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.
How do you connect the Logitech G433?
If you own any other Logitech-branded gaming peripheral, chances are you already have an idea of how that whole software thing works. The software app works as a hub for all Logitech devices you use. As for the headsets, you can choose between six EQ profiles- FLAT, FPS, MOBA, Drop the Bass, Cinematic Gaming, and Communications, respectively. You also have the option of building your custom profiles. Don’t forget that the headsets are wearable outdoors and Logitech has diligently done its homework. A few raindrops will not damage your headsets. Logitech G433 Microphone
