Logitech G735 Review | The Best Headset EXCEPT… (In-depth Review)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- The Logitech G735 Aurora Collection Wireless Headset uses Lightspeed Wireless AND Bluetooth at the same time. Allowing you to hear AND balance both at the SAME TIME. Which is pretty neat. Additionally, they looks crisp AF, have incredible comfort as it is incredibly lightweight, and the earpads are soft and malleable. Additionally, there is a lot of movement for the earcups themselves. Sound quality is solid. Making it for a well-rounded albeit expensive headset. To learn more make sure to check out today’s review.

WARNING: These do not work on PS5 via 2.4 GHz.
What do you guys think of the price? Do you think it is worth it? I'd love to discuss.
Honestly, I'm still LOVING the sound, look, and comfort of these. I was playing Horizon Zero Dawn last night with a different pair of headphones and then took those off to put these on and felt so much more immersed. They may not be the most accurate sounding but man do they make it feel like you are there.as

Price has to do with materials. If you own the Apple AirPod max you’ll notice that they use them as inspiration for these headphones. Higher end materials result in higher prices. 😅
@@Z_3D While I agree that price and materials do go hand in hand, I don’t see this headset having higher quality parts than others at lower price brackets, but perhaps I’m missing something. I do own the AirPods Max and while I agree some of those materials help justify the cost even those are still way over what they should be for what you get. Personally, I find the drivers and sound quality to be in the $100 range. The cushions you could argue to a certain degree put it in the upper end as is the headband wrap. So, agree there. But have seen lower tier headsets with similar quality for a lot less. The paint is very good as well. Which helps justify upper end, but not premium price bracket to me. Microphone also comes in at the $100 - $150 range for me in terms of the ones I’ve tested. Yes, it is solid. I think $150 - $175 is justified. $225 I personally think is excessive for what you get.
But I’m extremely interesting in hearing your thoughts on the matter. What makes you think this headset is using higher end materials over something cheaper? Or what justifies the cost in your opinion?
@@ThomasMuehler I noticed the other ones in the gaming line up are all plastic based housing without the metal articulating band. I suppose I will agree with you after they arrive and I try them on and compare to my other headsets. I don't have anything that will provide mic input and ps5 compatibility out of the box. I saw them all at Akihabara mall in Tokyo and decided on these based on your review and my time trying them on in person. Hopefully the price will go down as the year passes. I've seen the other rgb option on best buys website for 50 dollars off!
@@ThomasMuehler I can't really hear much on it. Ive turned it all the way up and raised the volume on the PS5. I'm really just astounded at how low it is. You were right. Not worth the price.
@@Z_3D You’ve definitely got me thinking a lot about the quality of components that I think I overlooked originally. I do appreciate that. As like you say the metal articulating band is better than most that are plastic. I doubt they will reduce in price and I’d be interested to hear what else you think and find on them once you get them in and get more familiar with them.
Unfortunately, they DO NOT work on PS5. As your findings are similar to my own and many others in my comments thread. I’m pretty sure it is due for licensing. Where since Logitech didn’t pay Sony (my assumption not confirmed) they artificially limit the sound to be exceedingly low and unusable. Even though they come up on the PS5 as working correctly. Which is dumb. However, you could plug it in via 3.5 mm Aux into your controller and it should work normally (but you’ll need a 4 pole aux cord so mic will work). Bluetooth also may work (I’m not sure if PS5 even has Bluetooth) but you’ll notice some latency with it. Otherwise it only works on PC (3.5 aux, Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless) and phone (via Bluetooth). Where you’ll notice volume is just fine. I missed it too as they don’t mention official support for consoles. Again, not sure why they chose not to have these work on console. Which just reinforces my opinion that I think Logitech totally dropped the ball on this headset and line of peripherals.
I've had this headset for over a month now, and I adore it. As a female gamer I find other headsets are waaaay too big for my head and ears and are loose and uncomfortable, these are perfect!
A huge problem that I've had with other headsets is it being a bit too noise cancelling and I find myself shouting, these are perfect and dont make me feel deaf to my own voice.
They are so soft and comfortable and light even with glasses on, no creaking so far and they are fantastic on the go with a huge bluetooth range.
The GHub is great for customising the lights on the headset and the battery life is exceptional!!
Now the cons, the mic is absolutely awful, even with the post processing presets. Its just awful, no ifs or buts about it. And of course the price, its so pretty and comfortable but shouldnt be more than 150 in my personal opinon.
Loved the rundown, all great points. Thanks for taking the time to share! Totally agree with you, I think this headset would be great at $150.
So how is it after 2 months ? I really need some white clean headphones for gaming mine Razer barracuda got some problems wich is kinda annoying.. and my channel is mostly white and blue as my logo so I find them so refreshing.. do you stream or make video’s yourself as well ?
All of the Logitech g series headsets are very comfy even the 435 which are small but still very comfy but that mic popping is excessive it was none stop the mics on the other headsets that I own are so much better in terms of that. I'll still use em to game but that's it no streaming with those for me
I have a small head too and deal with the same issues you mentioned, which is what drew me to these (aside from how pretty they are lol) but the mic is really horrible (especially for how much they cost). I currently have Steelseries Arctis 7+ which have an okay mic but it retracts which I adore so much and don't know if I could live without now. They were too big originally but I got thicker earcups from amazon and it solved that issue perfectly, though it can cause some discomfort with glasses after a long time (but that's usually a good signal that I've been on my computer too long lol). I just wish they were all white. They are really sleek and minimal and feel super high quality but the aurora headset definitely wins in aesthetics. I guess ill just have to go try on the auroras in store, but I cant tell if they would be a more expensive downgrade. They're so pretty though I wish I could combine the best of both😭
I have the G733, and was looking for an alternative as the mic seems to not pick up as well now, and I worry about when the elastic band looses elasticity and would rather have a more sleek looking headset, has anyone here made the switch? What do you think of both headsets?
Just bought this headset and I love it, sound quality is not as rich as to the HyperX cloud alpha (my old ones) but I can bare with that considering they are super pretty especially now that I stumbled upon your video and your EQ preset helped SOOOO much, thank you so much for that! a life saver!!
That is amazing news. I'm glad you are enjoying them so much and the EQ profile helped. Thanks for taking the time to let me know!
As a casual gamer and full time work from home engineer, I love these headphones. Your EQ settings really made them sound better.
Thank you for letting me know about both aspects! Very much appreciated.
Oh, thank you for your comment! I'm in the pretty same scenario as you, so I believe this headset is gonna be worth it for me :D
I really appreciate how in depth your review is without it feeling like an essay :)
I appreciate the kudos. Thanks for taking the time to let me know.
Thank you for this review! Someone else reviewed these and said you cant turn the lights off and the battery life wasnt great. Appreciate your reviews!
Happy to try and help!
I picked up a pair on sale for $80 off today, so I'm happy.
I really wish the headset had connectivity via the USB cable, but alas I learned that the USB cable appears to only be for charging. My Corsair has ability to connect via dongle, usb cable, or Bluetooth so I do kinda miss that option. I don't use 3.5mm connections anymore.
I still have to experiment more with this headset, but so far seems ok. My intent is to primarily use it for Teams, Zoom, and training video watching on the PC, and perhaps to use the Bluetooth for calls & listening to music from my phone.
I love the feel wearing these. Very comfortable. Probably the best I've used in recent memory. They look amazing as well.
I found it wild that USB is only for charging. As that doesn't make sense to me. Especially, for the price.
If you remember to update me I'd love to hear how it works out for you with Teams and so on. As I'm getting a lot of comments who want to use it for the same thing and would love to hear how it works from a real world perspective so I can share it with them.
Definitely very comfortable and are one of the most attractive headsets I've seen. And for $80 off I think you got it at a good price for what you get. But again, looking forward to hearing your findings if you care to get back to me.
This was the exact reason I looked up a review of the headset as I just got them during Prime Day for a lot off as well, making them well below the 200 price and more in the range of 150 aka their worth. Now, I realize the USB is only for charging as confirmed by this comment thread... :( Is there a way to maybe have them charging AND usable at the same time? Another cord purchase perhaps?
Great review, thanks for being so thorough.
bought this one for gaming and work. very lightweight. Love your reviews!
I bought this for my daughter, which she wanted with the aurora collection, and a much cheaper headset, also from logitech, for my son (G635). I tested them both out. First of all, the G635 sound quality is so much better. Second, I'm still trying to get the mic for the G735 to work, which I am doing right now and why I'm watching this at all. I'm pretty disappointed and as a female gamer myself, feeling a little bit like this is a jab at women for not being able to know good quality sound, and that it's not just working right out of the box like the cheaper one, but maybe that's just me.
I completely agree with you. They market it hard for women while having it at a premium price tier and you get meh results from it. Which I think does come across as a slap in the face. As they could have made a fantastic product for an underrepresented demographic. But instead it feels like a cash grab which is frustrating.
What issues are you having with the microphone? Perhaps I can help?
@@ThomasMuehler Oh thanks! I got it working on my computer. I seemingly just needed to reboot to get it to pick up. Tonight we'll see if my daughter can get it to work on her computer. She gave up on it and asked me to try on mine. Fingers crossed.
@@solasolar1 Good I’m glad you got it working! Hopefully, the process with your daughters computer will be smooth sailing.
I'm seriously considering replacing my A50's with these (they're too heavy and starting to die) but the $230 pricepoint is hard to justify. The G735s were the most comfortable and aesthetic out of what I tried (I wish HyperX had more color options) but they aren't compatible with PS5/xbox, seems like a step down in sound quality, and the mic sounds horrible (I use another mic anyway but I'd expect it to sound better for this price). I'll probably wait for a deal.
Totally agree with all points. Aesthetic and comfort are great. Sound quality is in general disappointing, especially in comparison to the price point. And compared to the A50's (which I think are one of the best sounding wireless headsets I've tried) it is definitely a step down. Same with the microphone as again the A50 mic is better. But the A50 kind of got cut off at the knees with the optical port not existing on consoles for some time now. As the USB just doesn't provide the same level of audio quality. Also, don't understand how Logitech would charge $230 for a PC only headset and not include consoles. I guess you could technically use Bluetooth but latency may be an issue.
Anyways, main point is it seems like this headset you take a lot of hits just to have excellent comfort and aesthetics. Which is a real shame. As it is soo attractive.
Your a50s are superior in every way. Don't downgrade. 🤦♂️ There are few headsets/mic that are better. You'd have to go with a stand alone mic and Sennheiser pair of cans to get better audio performance. The g735 we're just gifted to my lady yesterday. They sound great, but definitely not better than Astros.
I will get mine tomorrow and I really hope your EQ will help a lot as I play DBD a lot, and hearing is significant there. but I guess I'll be fine if only this headset will do better than razer barracuda, which I use now. thanks for review, it's really helpful
I would love to get your opinions once you try it out a bit. I was testing them out again the other day and continue to be on the fence about the sound. As at times it is super immersive and I like it a lot. And other times I just don’t like it. lol
@@ThomasMuehler I'm still testing it in game, seems like nothing special, but nothing disappointing as well for now. but the music is hella good and your EQ is the best I found for myself, big thanks! I tried out g pro x wireles the other day, had a white noise, so had to return it, sound was terrible from the box, but had a potential to be awesome if you play with EQ or find a nice one. forsome reason stock profiles in ghub sounded terrible for g pro x. and 735 is kinda ok from the box, EQ just makes it much better. and for some reason even stock profiles are not that bad for 735, both mic and sound. and my ears finally fit into the ear pads, my old razers were too small. so I'm happy with this headset at the moment and glad I decided to return g pro x. maybe there was a defect, but 735 is a win for me
Just bought this on sale for $210 AUD. Early thoughts it is insanely comfortable and the sound is ok and suitable for my gaming. Issue I have is I can't get the mic to work on my pc. Did you have any such problem?
Edit: I'm stupid af. I was plugging it into the audio jack instead of the microphone slot because I was in a rush at 1am at night.
Frist, totally agree on insane comfort and sound being ok. Second, I'm glad you got it figured out!
Any chance for more in depth instructions on how to change the settings for them to be good for gaming? thanks for the Review!
What would you like to know?
1. You plug in the headset to your PC (wireless dongle).
2. Download/open Logitech G Hub.
3. Click the headset -> Sound -> then add custom EQ, make adjustments, then click save. All done.
4. I'd recommend trying my own EQ setting and if you don't like it going with your own.
5. Make sure you AREN'T using surround sound.
Just bought this headset, been waiting for them to go on sale and they finally are!!
Wooo! I'm excited for you. What are your thoughts on them so far?
Love how they’re smaller and simple I have a small head and the bigger headsets are uncomfortable for me, 9/10 from me!
@@Turboj47 That's great news! Happy for you. Enjoy.
@@ThomasMuehler yeah I ended up getting them for $180 not too bad
@@Turboj47 That's not terrible. And as long as you love/enjoy them it doesn't matter.
this was such a great review!! Thank you!
Bro the mic sounds bad thats sad that wireless headsets aren't ready with the mics..
I don't know if I'd say "bad". I think for a wireless microphone it is above average. I also think it fits perfectly in the "good" category regardless for a headset mic. Perhaps even above average. But definitely not great. As even most wired mics these days still don't sound good. They have improved in the last year or so. But agree wireless mics are still not ready for prime time.
For over $200 too I’m like damn..
@@thenicoleodeon Agreed. I think they overpriced them HARD. I think around $150 would have been a lot better.
@@ThomasMuehler my hyper x cloud fly s have mouch better micro qualität i dont understand how in 2022 logitech dont can do a headset with good mic and sound how there can ever sell them FeelsBadMan
@@heypancaks Totally agree. It seems like in general Logitech has been gliding the last few years. Really since the Logitech G Pro Wireless came out. As nothing interesting has really come out from them outside of a refresh of some of their previous best hits. Even the Logitech G502x is dead on arrival.
I bought mine for 127$, so I’m happy instead of having to get it for 200. I think it’s a steal to get these at 127, which should lowkey just be their original price point
I agree.
Great Review, I had this ones and sent it back, still waiting for something decent to come. But please try to review the Astro A30 Wireless they are very similar and could be a better option maybe?.
This works great for me with the Switch. I can get game audio through the lightspeed adapter and use discord on my phone for voice chat. Worth the money to not have to deal with the ridiculous workarounds with splitters and and adapters and multiple cables.
I have the 733 Logitech and Love it . Have had them since Oct 2020 . and NOT ONE problem with them to date two years later
That's great news! I'm glad those are still working great for you. I've heard good things about them.
I also have g733 and the only issue I faced was that the mic just randomly stopped working after like a year and half through use. I am thinking of replacing my headset now, but I am not sure if this Aurora one is worthy or not..
Just purchased on amazon, they haven't arrived yet so I can't say how I like them, however they were the only headset I found that was so versatile. I'll be using them primarily for narration and wanted something with the ability to connect to my Blue Yeti mic via 3.5mm jack, so the noticeably crappy mic won't be an issue. (I'm also not at all pleased that the 3.5mm aux cable wasn't included) I also like the ability to connect to more than one source and adjust the volume independently, AND that it matches my whole Pink/white workstation theme with really cool RGB effects... Honestly, if any other headset were able fulfill those needs for less, I'd buy them. If they exist, tho, I haven't found them. Since this is the ONLY headset I found with those features, looks like I'll deal with the hefty price tag.
Love that you know what you're looking for. I am bummed for you that it severely limits your options. The only other White peripherals I'm aware of are from Razer. Which depending on how much you like/dislike these may be the only other option for you that MAY work. But I'd love to hear your thoughts on them once you do get them in and try them out. Seeing as I'm still on the fence about this product. Having other peoples opinions is greatly beneficial for myself and others I speak to.
Has your headset arrived yet? If so, how did you find it?
Update?
@@adrianyeager6463 I'm assuming you mean an update from Krista?
It was the ending for me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 " Thats like another 2 bucks or something, you can't include that? ridiculous".
I would love to see them compared to their other products, like the logitech pro x wireless ! Specs look very similar but for a noob like me it's hard to know which would be a better fit for me
Excellent idea. Funds are tight for me right now so I'm not sure if that will be done. However, I like that idea a lot and if I can do it I will. I will say in general from my testing of Logitech headsets and what I'm seeing on other reviews Logitech headsets tend to not be all that good. Are about C Grade across the board. SteelSeries tends to be well received. Personally, I think their Arctis Nova line is pretty good. Especially, the top of the line Arctis Nova Pro WIreless. I enjoyed the Corsair HS80 Wired a lot. It also comes in wireless but I haven't tried that variant. Razer appears to be hit or miss. Going with Sennheiser (which is now under a different name that I forget) are always excellent. HyperX also tends to be very good.
@@ThomasMuehler thanks for making the time yo reply :) i will make sure to take that into consideration when i buy my next headset !
I asked for these for Christmas or my birthday (don’t remember) as I was using a hand me down wired razor headset. I’ve had these for somewhere over a year. I find them to be comfortable and they don’t shake off my head, but I have a small head. They have, perhaps, a few barely visible marks but that’s really my fault. It’s otherwise still clean. Mind you, I’ve been storing them under my desk, on the floor. (I really should find a different solution…) Having little reference, I think the sound quality is fine and the mic quality is just alright. But I maybe use the mic like a couple times a week for discord or zoom. I connect them via bluetooth to my MacBook so I don’t typically use the Blue Voice features in GHub. I have never used the LightSpeed and bluetooth at the same time and have no reference for the audio mixing. The battery life lasts my use about two weeks but closer to one week with more use. They charge fast enough for me. The main game I play is Minecraft.
If you’re not playing audio for a long enough time, they will shut off to conserve battery. This is nice when I forget to turn them off but could be annoying if you are only using the mic.
Great rundown! Appreciate you sharing your findings. I agree on all points.
Super underrated channel!
I appreciate the encouraging words!
This headset is AWFUL. I don't understand it. I had such high hopes. But friends in discord tell me I sound like a robot half the time, and game audio (I mostly play FPSs) is ATROCIOUS. I'm sorry to be so negative but I can't understand how I could pay $250 for a headset and hate it so much that I go back to my 8-year old $40 Astro A10's. :( So sad about it
The microphone was definitely a big let down for me as well.
I thought the sound was average with stock settings. But got a lot better with a custom EQ. But sometimes getting those EQs to be in the right spot takes a lot of time and effort. Did you happen to try the one that I mentioned in the video?
Regardless, I totally get your frustration. Especially for the price. As you would expect both of those to be a non-issue.
I had the same problems with g pro x (not wireless) and then I decided to sell it. Both of them could be good headphones but for some reason they just work terribly on everything except Windows.
@@ThomasMuehler are they using the Bluetooth though
That's clearly what it was designed for
@@ThomasMuehler and sounded 100x better in a side by side comparison the Bluetooth wins
@@jgvtc559 Interesting. I'll have to try it out. But that's frustrating nonetheless seeing as most people are going to be using it on console/pc instead of their phones. Unless if you are saying to connect via 2.4 Ghz wireless and then also connect to the same PC via Bluetooth and use bluetooth for chat. But that seems complicated.
I got it for 130 repackaged at target I think it’s been pretty worth it
For that price I would say it would be worth it.
Hey!! Loved this video it's very informative!! i just wanted to ask, i have the Razer Kraken Analog Gaming Headset. Would this Logitech be an upgrade in terms of audio etc or not? Thanks!!
I tried a Razer Kraken a long time ago. I'm not sure how they have improved on them or not. So, I'm not sure how they would compare.
I find this headset to be a mixed bag. I'd read through the comment section. As there are quite a few people who have chimed in with their opinions. I would definitely only get it on sale. As full retail I don't think it is worth the price.
I'm leaning that you would see an improvement with sound quality. Especially, with my preset. But I say that hesitantly. As each of our ears are different. And I'm not quite sure what Sound Signature you tend to enjoy. If the Kraken's are the same as they have always been then the bass is overwhelming. Where this will have less bass. But hopefully more treble and mids. If you do end up picking them up I'd love to hear your thoughts.
This was such a huge miss from Logitech. They could have made this headset one of their best if they would have changed the drivers to the g pro x ones and make this headset their cool competitive headset. I'm not saying that the g pro x headsets are ugly since I own a pair of them myself but I would have definitely swapped them for these, if only they would had used the same g pro x drivers.
I'm completely with you. I'm not sure what was going through their heads.
What I really dont like about them is they are really sealed off with the pleather ear cup and close back design, it builds up moisture and heat in your ears quickly and can easily lead to infection over long term use.
I'm not sure that I agree about the infection standpoint. But understand your thought process and your criticism is valid.
Personally, I prefer the sealed off, pleather, and close back design. But that does appear to be an unpopular opinion. Where most people are definitely in your camp!
Greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your two cents!
The bumps btw are not just bumps, its Braille for R and L
You are exactly right! Which I think is great.
I got this headset because I heard it was comfortable for people with glasses, which it is! The mic is AWFUL! I've used a Razor headset and the mic for years now and it sounds pretty well. This mic was just awful. Frankly, I'm disappointed with it. However, I'm just going to make the jump to a stand alone mic and keep the headset due to how comfortable it is for me. Also, this video was greatly appreciated! The detail and honest was on point. Thank you!
I REALLY wanted to like this headset. And it does have certain aspects that are solid. Comfort being one of them. I just think the cost is excessive for what you get. But I'm glad that you like it well enough. I think an external microphone is a great call regardless. As it will provide a lot better experience for those you are talking too. But definitely is a bit more cumbersome for you. Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion. I enjoyed reading it!
I'm convinced that people are talking this thing up because I have never worn a more uncomfortable headset
That's fair. I didn't find it to be all that uncomfortable. It isn't the most comfortable. I think it is more comfortable than a lot of headsets I've tried. But to say the most uncomfortable I'd disagree. I've definitely worn more uncomfortable. lol
@@ThomasMuehler I'm just frustrated because I spent all this money and it feels really small around the ears and I don't understand why there isn't more plush around the top especially since it's made out of metal. And I'm a fairly small girl so it confuses me a bit to hear people compliment it for its comfort
@@baniboo All totally fair points. The top padding is very limited so I 100% agree that they could have done more there.
For me personally, the reasons why I said what I said were.
1. I find them to be very lightweight. Due to them being lightweight the pressure they put on the top of my head is minimal.
2. I find that the padding around the ears to be more than I’m used to (compared to most other headsets I’ve tried). It is also quite plushy. With the clamping force being light most of the pressure is pretty even around my ears to keep it in place. But since it is light it doesn’t feel like it is vice gripping my head. But a complain would be because the clamping force is so light that it doesn’t really utilize the plush all the much as it more just sits there without depressing. Which makes it not as comfortable as I would expect when I press it with my finger.
3. There is adequate movement of the joints to try and fit most peoples heads.
With that said I do agree with you that these are not the most comfortable headset I’ve worn. They are middle tier. And I would expect them to be a lot more comfortable based on how they look, who built them (Logitech), and how much they cost. This is also one of the reasons why I’m so frustrated with this headset is I think they missed a lot of the critical points.
Have you tried (as counterintuitive as this sounds) to either tight them a bit more (like push in the headband so more of the pressure is around your ears) or vice versa loosen the headband by expanding it to see if that loosens the pressure and see if that helps. As I’ve noticed that depending on the headset that sometimes a looser or tighter fit is more comfortable.
Thank you for the great review!
I was going to get this to use with my PS5, and also for discord. So glad I havent bought it yet.
Can you recommend something as comfortable as this one? But better sound quality and compatible with PS5.
Thanks!
I haven't tried a lot of gaming headsets so my recommendations are limited. Of the ones I've tried I haven't like too many of them.
1. Logitech G535 is very comfortable with good/solid sound (but nothing to write home about) microphone is solid as well. But again more middle of the road.
2. Astro A30. I haven't tried this one yet. I will be getting one but waiting for it to arrive. But I have high hopes for this one. As it looks like it will be very similar to this one but work on every console and hopefully be better with sound and microphone. Same price point. So, honestly that would be the one I would recommend at this time. But could be terrible.
3. Astro A40/A50 are always a solid bet. I have been using my A50's for a long time and still think they are one of the best headsets you can buy. However, in my review of them (and the pinned comment) I go over the issues with them. Mainly being that they use an optical cord to get the best sound which modern consoles don't have so that means you need to figure out a way around that. If you are playing on a TV and it is modern then it likely has a optical port that would work. But as you can probably tell from my comment already there is work to be done to get them to work correctly with questionable QA which makes it a miss for most people.
4. The Corsair HS80 Wired is the only headset that I've tried that I absolutely love. Comfort is probably the worst thing about it but I still find it to be very comfortable (but not as comfortable as any of the above. But the microphone is seriously incredible (the best I've ever used on a headset) and sound quality is also really good. However, it isn't fully supported on console. I know they work (sound wise) but not sure about microphone wise (but I thought that worked too but I would double check if you go down this road). They also have a wireless variant that got good praise but I haven't tried them.
5. Sennheiser Game One is also one that I've really enjoyed all around. But comfort again isn't the best. And it is wired.
6. Outside of that I start to get into more headphones (which is what I use to game most of the time) along with a separate microphone.
7. I've heard good things about the newest SteelSeries Nova series and the G Pro X.
Hi thank you for the recommendations! I thought about it, and checked all the reviews, I think I’m gonna go with Logitech G735 for my ps5 because its looks so good and comfortable!
Do you think the sound quality will be better if I use your EQ settings?
@@diandramonami The G735 doesn't work on PS5. The volume is too low making it unplayable. Which is perhaps the thing I hate the most about it. As I really wish it would work as then I'd recommend it more often.
As for your second question. I'd go with whatever the stock sound settings are with a game you know well then try my EQ settings and then see which one you prefer and go with the one that works the best for your ears.
I got these and I absolutely love the feel of them BUT I'm having a horrible issue with the audio crackling out. It's only on my PC too, I use these regularly with my work laptop on calls and with music throughout the day without the extra adapter. But when it comes to my PC it's like it won't keep a solid connection and I haven't been able to find any reason for it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, disconnected & reconnected the bluetooth, and even with it physically plugged in with the cord it came with to my PC it still crackles. It's driving me up a wall and I can't seem to find any post about anyone else having this issue. If you have an pointers that would be wonderful.
I'm not sure exactly how you've got them setup. So, I apologize if I go over something you've already tried. It sounds like you've done a lot of the things correctly. But looks like you are using it through Bluetooth instead of the 2.4 GHz wireless.
Just FYI, the USB cord is only for charging so it will still be relying on the wireless connection. Which is why it still crackles. If you plugged it in with a 3.5 mm cord (with the headset off) and still had crackling then it is a defect with the headset. But I think that is unlikely seeing as it works just fine at work. Making me thing this is an interference issue.
USB 3.0 can cause interference. Making it if you have this headset connected via Bluetooth via a dongle or via the 2.4 GHz wireless dongle directly in a USB 3.0 port attached to your computer that can be spitting off a lot of interference causing the drops. This is mitigated by using the included charging cable/extender dongle to create as much distance from your PC as you can. Ideally away from anything else electronic within reason. I would also recommend using the 2.4 GHz dongle over Bluetooth. As it is going to have a better connection and should provide higher quality audio with less latency.
If you have Bluetooth built into your PC's motherboard, depending on the quality of that motherboard, and the version of Bluetooth, it could also be putting off a lot of interference which isn't happening at work. The fix for this would be using the 2.4 GHz wireless or I guess you could technically buy a new Bluetooth Adapter (which I don't recommend).
Last, you could always use the headset hardwired via a 3.5 mm aux cord. But if you were to do that make sure you get a 4 pole one as that will allow you to still use your microphone. But then depending on your PC you may still need a 3.5 splitter (if your PC has the microphone and normal sound port separated instead of a single port).
If none of that works let me know.
SAME i even got the pair replaced and SAME issue still persists!
Hey great video! did you notice any hiss/white noise? I just returned some Cloud 2 Wireless because of that and I don't want to make the same mistake twice
I'm going to try my best to remember to test this when I get home. But I think there is a good chance I'll forget.
With that said, from memory I do not remember any white noise/hiss. If it was there, it was very mild where I didn't notice it. Also, that hiss/white noise can occur depending on custom EQ tuning if you have a certain frequency tweaked too high. That last sentence was more just an FYI.
@@ThomasMuehler I ended up buying the Corsair Pro X (wired) anyways haha so forget what I said. Do you have any reviews on these headsets? I saw a lot lf CS pros use them so I bought them
@@Mayerrr354 I have not tried the Logitech Pro X headset. As the reviews I've seen make it seem like it wouldn't be something I'd be interested in. As it doesn't seem to be leading class. I've always wanted to try it. But since I don't think it would be stellar and since this channel is not financially viable I am limited in what products I can choose so have yet to pull the trigger on this one. Whether my bias there is actually true or not is a completely different story. That's just my thought process behind it.
But I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts on it!
How do you compare this to the G Pro X Wireless in terms of sound quality and mic quality?
Unfortunately, I haven't tried the G Pro X wireless so I can't comment on the differences. However from some of the other reviews that I've watched they've said that the G pro X wireless sound quality is better as it is more gaming focused. I have no idea what that actually means though. Also I don't know how close you could get with this headset to that with your own custom EQ. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Well made video
Thank you!
Do you know what the bluetooth protocol version is? I can find no official info and need at least 5.0 otherwise for viewing tv it's too laggy.
That is a great question. I don't know. My search was fruitless too. I think it's prior to 4.2. Which is yet another thing that is disappointing about this headset. It could have been SO GOOD but no.
Why is the volume on my headsets really low like it’s at its max and it can’t go up
Sounds like you are using it on the PS5. It doesn't officially support console so either Logitech or Sony purposefully nerf the sound so it doesn't work correctly and you'll either have to connect via Bluetooth, or plug in 3.5 directly to the controller. Or get a different headset.
Thank you!
Great video
Would you say the sound is worse or better than the SteelSeries Arctis 3?
I haven't tried the Arctic 3. So, I can't tell you for sure.
I think that SteelSeries tends to be more treble/mid focused with light bass. So, this headset would likely give you better bass. With good treble. But unsure how the mids, imaging, or separation would compare. And this is all pure speculation.
Sadly I’m back in the headset market as my turtle beach elite atlas aero just snapped while going onto my head…..😭
That's unfortunate! Headset shopping can be highly frustrating. Always fun to get a new product. But not fun trying to find a product that is perfect for you.
I'm not sure what you game on or price point. But my two favorite headsets that I've tried recently are the Corsair HS80 Wired (also comes wireless but didn't try that one so not sure how similar they are.) Great sound and the microphone quality is the best I've ever heard in a gaming headset. The second would be the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. Unbelievably expensive. But extremely nice. I'd also recommend checking out @gadgetrytech as he does a wonderful job at reviewing a bunch of different headsets and is far more knowledgeable than I.
Merece muitos likes pois o único canal que encontrei falando sobre a conexão com ps5
If you want to use on ps5 but your own Bluetooth dongle then and only then it'll work on console but no microphone you will have to use mic in controller
Appreciate this! Very helpful!
i cant fihd the headset on the logitech g hub can u help pls?
Only thing I am aware of is making sure the wireless dongle is plugged into the PC. If it is already plugged into the PC try removing it and then plugging it back in again. Otherwise, I'm not sure.
I just got this headset and I like it, but sometimes the audio cuts off for a second (don't have much tech stuff in my room) and I'm still trying to find a proper eq preset. Could you maybe upload the preset in the app so we can download it? :)
For some reason some interference is likely going on creating the signal from your headset to your receiver to stop talking to each other for a second. I'd recommend trying to move the extender dongle closer to your headset and away from any USB 3.0 devices (if applicable).
As for the EQ preset I have no idea how to do that. Also, not sure where I would upload it to be downloaded. So, I'm going to respectfully decline on that. You'll have to just do it manually. I think I have it listed in my description as well.
Has anyone used this headset on a Macbook?
If so, are the EQ settings active?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Tested it at home tonight. The EQ does transfer over whether on LightSpeed or Bluetooth. However, if you plug in the dongle to a new PC/Mac and download the software it will replace the custom EQ with the default one making you have to create the preset again on that computer at which point will carry over again. If you use the same computer all the time then it will still keep the EQ saved when opening Logitech G Hub. Also, G Hub works on both Mac and PC.
This is a bummer. I am glad I got to this video first but this just killed the G715 for me. The mic quality is MUST as a gamer. If someone was popping to me like this the entire time, I would be internally raging.
Yeah I'm not quite sure what they were thinking with this guy. It had so much potential and they just dropped the ball.
You think this headset can compete with steelseries arctis nova pro wireless?
Honestly, my first reaction was no. But I haven't tried the Arctis Nova Pro. But it seems like reviewers love it. Granted all the reviews I have seen for this guy have also been positive. So, after some thought I really don't know.
Are there any talks of these being released in black anytime soon?
I haven't seen anything. But I also haven't been following anything about it either. So, I can't confirm or deny.
@@ThomasMuehler cheers
I found these for $150 do you think it's a good buy at this price point? I want a versatile headset that offers a good mix of entertainment, gaming, and mobility. I haven't found anything that does all of these things as well this one.
I think at $150 it is fairly priced for what you get. And I do continue to go back and fourth on the sound quality. Where some days I think it is awesome. And other days I prefer something else. But at $150 I think it would be a good choice.
If you buy it, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it and if you think it was worth that price tag or not. As in general, the feedback I'm getting back is at full price it isn't worth it. However, when discounted and when people have looked around and want this guy they have thoroughly enjoyed it.
@@ThomasMuehler I'm torn between this and the Razer Barracuda, I'm starting college in late October so I think I'm gonna pick them up in September, I will share my thoughts when I do
@Mo-bz4if I haven't tried the Razer Barracuda. So, I can't give any opinions on that one. So, either way if you remember or care to get back to me I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Update: I ended up getting the Nova 7X as I got a Xbox and I really benefit from simultaneous Bluetooth and 2.4. Insane quality and feel. Coming from a 6 year old Hyperx Cloud 2 the wireless and weight are a blessing, my best purchase in ages.
@@Mo-bz4if Appreciate you getting back to me! Agreed on your points. I haven't personally tried the Nova 7x but heard good things about their Nova line in general. I have to Nova Pro's and really enjoy them.
What are the issues with ps5? I’m thinking of picking this up or the corsair xt
I go over it in the review...
Volume is too low on the PS5. Not officially supported.
Listening to you through the video i can tell that the stock mic is dogshit, at least you have the option to switch to "blue" setting. I am a G733 user looking for a replacement, mainly because of the wireless range of the headset. I move somewhat about 7 meters away from dongle with a wall in between, and they start disconnecting right away. Does this 735 have the same issue?
Sorry for the late reply. I had to actually remember to test it.
Hmm... hard to answer. It varies quite a bit. I notice that if I leave my room and go into the living room (which is about 7 meters away) through a single wall that I don't really haven any issues except for occasional crackling. However, if I go to the kitchenet that is in the same room and it starts to go through more than one wall I get semi-regular crackling/degradation but can still hear things. But then I can go upstairs and essentially walk around everywhere and not have really any issues either except for occasional crackling. Some drops at the outer edges (which comes back quickly) once I stop moving. So, a part of me wants to say it is good while another part of me says it isn't. Leaving me square on the fence. Internally my gut reaction is to say that it isn't one of the best performers I've had. But after the test I just did it isn't nearly as bad as I thought. Which means it probably comes down to your own setup/interference.
@@ThomasMuehler ty for ur reply. I returned them to the store and they replaced them as doa and the new ones still have the same issue. So i guess i didnt have faulty headsets, they just suck.
@@theoal5718 I can’t fault you too much there. I’ve never been all that impressed with Logitech’s headsets. I’d probably rank them B or C Class in general. Where they are just about average in everything. While not completely crap they don’t do anything amazing either.
Fir this price tag, I'd rather fet a mic on boom arm, then another headphone with 7.1 and better sound quality.
I agree. I think that would be a better use of money.
i love how u said “if u like the video leave a like, if not, a dislike” idk what that made me feel bad u seem like such a nice guys 😭 i just got this headset for christmas today and i loveeee themmm!! thankyou for the lovely review! 🫶🫶
Aw, that is very sweet of you. I’m glad you are enjoying them! Merry Christmas!
What are the best headphones and which is better the logitech pro x 2 light speed or the g745?
I haven't tried the Logitech Pro X2. But that would probably be the one that I would go with. As I've heard good things.
i am not sure if i should buy these headphones
It is a tough call. I think it completely depends on the cost.
$171.94 on amazon rn…gonna give them a chance, if not then I’ll get the ones i really want, for an extra $130 😭
I would love to hear your thoughts on them once you've tried them.
Also, what are the ones you really want?
i hear g733 has no memory is it the same with the g735?
It does have onboard memory for basic features. But for RGB sync you need to have G Hub open. Because some unknown reason. Not sure why so many gaming products won't save lighting to the onboard memory.
Can you please make a video of explaining GHUB and light setup. Mine has not been working , it just keeps cycling blue and pink. Thanks
I'm going to be honest, I'm probably not going to do this. But didn't want to leave you on read. If that changes I'll reply to this comment and let you know.
I can't decide on headphones ( Logitech G735 or HyperX Cloud MIX ) what do you recommend better?
I haven't tried the HyperX Cloud Mix. So, I can't tell you how that compares. However, I have tried the Hyper Cloud III (the newest one) and I absolutely love them. They are wired like the Mix but don't have the Bluetooth function. But are $100 so are cheaper. If you really want wireless than the G735 are fully wireless and have Bluetooth. I can't remember off the top of my head if you can do both of those at the same time though. I have a love/hate relationship with the G735 still. If you can find them on sale then I think they are worth it. If not then I think there are better alternatives. I tend to flop back and fourth with teh sound still. Where sometimes I think it is great and other times I don't. Which is a long way of me rambling and not giving you a ton of information. All I can say is if I had to buy a new gaming headset the HyperX Cloud III would be up there with one of my picks. The only reason why I wouldn't recommend them is if your primary use case is listening to music. But in that case none of these would be the best option for that.
Bought them and I regret it. Here I'm fucking hating them
No! That's terrible news. I'm sorry. I don't necessarily blame you. This really was a swing and a miss from them. Have you tried my audio preset? Or is the audio not the thing that you hate about them?
@@ThomasMuehlerI haven't, I'll try. I'm not blaming you or anything. But they usually disconnect during a dota match
@@ms6653 That shouldn't be happening. I'd try moving the dongle to a different place. If that doesn't fix it and you're going to keep them I'd definitely reach out to Logitech and do an RMA (unless if you can just exchange it in store).
i will use it to play videogames on my laptop and hear music, are they good for this? becuse i like the style and they look amazing
Totally, redid this comment. As I was thinking of a different headset. I think they would be a good choice assuming that you get a good price on it. As I find them to do well at both gaming and music. Especially, with my tuning.
I honestly regret buying this headset, it’s always cutting off. Tried everything and i only had it for two weeks!! Looks like I wasted money and will be buying steel series instead
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that! I do think you'll enjoy the Steelseries Arctis Nova line more. As in general they tend to do a great job in most aspects. I'm still a bit on the fence about their sound quality. But again, the Nova line did better than the previous generation.
A question to G735 owners, is there any hiss / white noise ?? I have tried two Logitech G Pro X Wireless headphones now, had to return them both as both headphones had constant white noise...
Not that I have noticed on my unit. But am interested to see what other people find.
i was just chaning the settings on my Logitech G Pro X headset and i found out that i have a lott of white noise when i turn up the 'Sidetone'. Its a setting which lets you hear your suroundings/yourself through the mic
@@schoesteriris Interesting. Sometimes that can happen just from picking up ambient noise or interference. What happens when you turn off or mute the mic?
@@ThomasMuehler then its gone!
@@schoesteriris Unfortunately I hear it the minute I turn the headset on, sidetone is set at 0, and the usb isn't even in pc, so it's not a connectivity problem...
Is that a 6 or 5 for the 8000 HZ EQ? Thanks
It is a 6.
Omg I just ordered these headphones but haven’t got to try them yet but this review makes me think I should spend my money on better headphones than these… 😅
Well... lol
But seriously, I would love to hear your thoughts on them when they come in. Assuming that you go them from a place you can return them if you don't enjoy them. As I've found personally, that unless if I try it then my brain just continues to wonder if I would like it or not. As the important factor is do YOU like them? And do YOU think they are worth the price? If yes, then my opinion of them doesn't matter.
Has anyone tried these on xbox? If so please tell me if they connect and work
They do not work. I think they only support via 3.5 mm aux.
I just bought it and so far it’s just meh. It sounds soooo low anytime I’m playing on my ps5 and I’m sadly thinking about returning them. Does anyone else have this problem on their ps5?
See the pinned comment for more info. Unfortunately, these are not supported on PS5. Which is frustrating.
hey!! i’m thinking of getting this collection as a first timer for upgrading my gear in general! i normally play “comfy”, plot heavy, immersive games and was wondering if these headsets (or collection in general??) is worth it?? i don’t have a headset currently and i’m just using some $25 keyboard and a mouse that was gifted to me 😅 also i use a pc
i really love how this looks!! and i’m not that heavy of a gamer and my multiplayer goes as far as apex and minecraft lol, so if you don’t think this collection is worth it what would you recommend instead?? (money isn’t an issue)
I would say that our gaming interests are very similar. As my preference is plot heavy, immersive games as well but tend to play a lot of competitive games due to friends and lack of options on the former. With that said I think that with my sound preset that this headset would do a good job at what you are looking for. As I thoroughly enjoyed my playthrough of Horizon Zero Dawn with them.
However, I continue to think that this headset is overpriced for what you get and have a hard time recommending it. If you can get it on sale then it is an easier recommendation.
As for the rest of the collection. 100% absolutely NOT worth it. The keyboard is average, and the mouse is terrible - again for the price. They are perfectly adequate. But personally, I don’t like to pay top tier pricing for adequate. But everything is going to be an upgrade over what you have already. So you’ll see an improvement. Also, aesthetic wise they are some of the most attractive peripherals I’ve ever seen. Going with what you will be happy with is the best option.
If we are taking money out of the equation my recommendation would be:
Mouse: Razer Viper V2 Pro or Razer Deathadder V3 Pro or Logitech G Pro X Superlight.
Keyboard: Corsair K70 PRO (not Mk.2) w/ OPX switches. Either the full size or TKL (depending on your preference). Or if you enjoy a small keyboard and willing to wait Wooting 60HE.
Headset: Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless.
All of those are going to be some of the best-in-class peripherals.
More reasonable pricing:
Mouse: Lamzu Atlantis (or any of their mice), Logitech G Pro Wireless (over superlight as it will be on sale more often and is essentially the same but more buttons, RGB, and heavier), Razer Viper Ultimate (often on sale for $60, performs than all other mice other than other Razer mice), Razer Deathadder V2 Pro (Same as the Razer Viper Ultimate an the last generation of the Viper V2 Pro/Deathadder V3 Pro), Razer Deathadder V3 Pro WIRED (if you like palm mice and don’t mind a cord), Steel Series Aerox 3 Wireless.
Keyboard: Corsair K70 RGB Pro still.
Headset: Corsair HS80 Pro Wired. Probably the best overall sound in a headset that I have tried. While having an unbelievably good microphone. There is a wireless variant but I haven’t tried it. Rig 800 Pro is a good option as well that is wireless. But make sure if you have a console you buy the right version.
@@ThomasMuehler !!!!! thank you so much for such a detailed reply!! i’ll definitely look into everything you’ve suggested!!
im sorta bummed this collection didn’t match the price if you know what i mean, especially since it was marketed towards females and wanting to be more inclusive. i feel a little left out still, the quality isn’t worth the price and they chose to focus more on looks :/ why not have both an aesthetically pleasing set WITH great quality all around that’ll match the price set
such a shame that they finally have something made and marketed with us females in mind be so lacking, it’s a hard let down
@@goodystyle60 I completely get what you mean. It's a huge letdown and I'm definitely right there with you. As it almost comes off as, hey here is an untapped market that we can charge an arm and a leg for. But since they are women they won't care about quality and only care about aesthetics. A bit extreme of a viewpoint and I'm sure that's not their point. But as you say there are very few peripherals aimed and made for women. When one finally drops and it is disappointing it hits extra hard. I would have made sure they were bomb not only in aesthetics but performance as well to capture that market and satisfy that target demographic. But alas, maybe next time.
I have had multiple women comment on this who have bought the headset and none of them have been upset at the quality. Especially, when they get them on sale.
Also, a keyboard tends to be a keyboard. The keyboard itself would still be a good option. You are paying a premium for the look. But aren't really sacrificing a lot of performance. As for your use case I don't think 8,000 Hz polling is going to be significant (Corsair K70 Pro). Nor is the Analog switches on Wooting 60HE. But that comes down to your preferences. But bottom line I think the keyboard is probably the best peripheral they have in the collection and I'd definitely get it if you enjoy the TKL style. I think one of them is wireless as well which can be nice to have.
But definitely skip the mouse. There are a lot better out there.
@@ThomasMuehler exactly!! i’m glad you get what i was trying to say
also i ended up getting the steelseries arctic nova pros you recommended ☺️☺️ i tried the display and was blown away so i can’t even imagine how great it’ll be in game!! i also tried the logitech ones and they were more lightweight but not as comfy, and the sound was also pretty good but i wasn’t blown away lol
my only complaint about the steelseries was it didn’t come in white but i can still customize some little pieces here and there, hopefully i’ll like them enough to keep them for a long while
thank you again for the recommendations and replying back!!!!!! you really helped me out
@@goodystyle60 I'm excited for you! If you end up not liking them I would love to hear your opinions so I can better recommend to other people. Also, totally agree, if they came in white that would be epic. In general, I wish more peripherals came in different colors. Happy gaming!
Does it works for listenting to music in your phone?
Yes, you can connect it via Bluetooth to your phone and listen to music. Even while gaming on your PC/Console.
I currently have a steelseries Arctis Pro. I dont know if you’ve used it but do you think this one would be a better one to get? I’m just looking for an amazing sounding white headset to match my setup. So if you could give me a suggestion it would be much appreciated! Thank you for the video
No, I don't think it would be the better one to get. I think the Arctis Pro is the superior headset all around. And that's coming from someone who isn't a huge fan of the Arctis Pro. "Amazing" and "Sounding" are not two words I would use to summarize this headset. I'm not saying it is terrible but definitely not top-tier.
I'm not aware of a whole lot of white headsets so if that is the main criteria I think you've probably found one of the best already with the Arctis Pro.
Did you Buy it? I am choosing at steelseries arctis pro or g735
Will these work with a wired connection on PS5? I love everything about the headset, but if they don't work at all with PS5 I will have to find something else
Edit: Forgot to ask, can you still use them while they are charging?
Yes, you can use them wired on PS5. Through the controller. I don't remember if the USB to PS5 would work. I could try when I get home if I remember.
As for while charging. Yes.
@@ThomasMuehler thank you, appreciate it! 😌
Only deal breaker for me is the leather cups. Can't do it, I get all sweaty.
That’s fair. But it seems like more and more headsets. These days are going towards those leather cups.
6:55 what does it mean cause the noise floor to become audible ?
Great question. In everything there is always a noise floor. So, in a quiet room the decibels will be like 32 dB. Silent is actually 0 dB. So, you have a noise floor of 32 dB. Often in headsets, microphones, etc. it will be picking up some sort of noise or has noise from the internal components which usually is not audible at normal operating volumes. Kind of like when you have a conversation in a quiet room you don't hear the hum of air conditioning or something. But if you crank up the volume enough in the headset when things are quiet and even when they aren't you can hear a bit of a hum or crackle or hiss that is persistent. Another way of putting it. If the volume on the headset is 50% and you don't hear anything, then you crank it up to 100% you may hear a hiss. As you are then making the noise floor audible to your ears. It is present at 50% too, but since you can't hear it, it doesn't matter. Which happens more often with wireless devices because of reasons I won't go into. Does that make sense?
@@ThomasMuehler makes full sense. Thanks for taking the time to explain it that thoroughly! Great review! Cheers!!
Happy to do it. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask. @@SataPataKiouta
black i need this in black
It would be nice to have that option. Preferably matte black.
i would buy this but i dont think the price is justified
I would agree. I think a lower price point and these turn into a solid headset. But $230 is insane.
How does the ground give direction and footsteps (Cs:go, Valorant) for games like ?
Ranking (S, A, B, C, D, F). I'd say B-Tier. I think as a competitive headset they are better than most but not great. I go over that in the sound section of the review. But I can hear general direction well but not exact location. Footsteps also vary dramatically from game to game. I don't play CSGO or Valorant on a regular basis as they aren't my cup of tea (more Escape From Tarkov (EFT), Halo, Apex Legends). In EFT I can hear footsteps but not as good as other headsets but better than most. As mentioned my custom profile helped tremendously in competitive play/immersion. But still not sold on the sound of this headset in general. As I think it is overpriced for what you get.
@@ThomasMuehler Thanks first of all, I'm going to switch from HyperX Alpha, I'm playing high rank in Valorant, I was hesitant, I want to use them on both PC and iPhone, I hope they satisfy
@@ThomasMuehler Also, what are your EQ settings for Fps?
@@razien4209 If you pick them up I'd really appreciate getting your opinions on sound for FPS. As that is super helpful not only to me but anyone else who has the same question.
Also, my EQ that I used is the one listed in the video at 10:54.
@@ThomasMuehler Of course thanks again.
For $200 you don't even get high res audio. Just looked pretty but just a average audio by the looks of it.
You did a great job at summing it up.
Correct. No High-Res audio and definitely comes across as average all around. The sound quality is not where it should be at the retail price point.
I think of it kind of like Beats where you are paying for the brand, looks, marketing, and fashion statement. Where you are mostly paying for
A. It being pretty.
B. It being targeted at woman.
Which I think is stupid. As few peripherals are marketed and made for woman, and for Logitech to do a mediocre job and sell it at a premium to capture that demographic is a giant slap in the face. As they had a chance to make a killer product for that demographic but didn't. With that said I've had a lot of comments that when people find it on sale that they have been highly pleased.
I just got these today and I have mixed feelings so far. The sound is okay, but the bass seems too loud no matter what settings I use. The mic picks up all of my mouse and keyboard sounds even after messing with the signal cleanup settings. My gaming buddies aren't a huge fan as they can hear everything going on in the background. Has anyone found a fix for either of these issues?
Depending on your PC you may be able to download Nvidia Broadcast which would cut out all the background noise if your graphics card supports it.
As for the bass, the only thing I can think of is going into a custom profile via G Hub and reducing the bass range down into an acceptable range for your ears. And even then, it may just mess up the sound further (or just not like it). As when you start to mess with EQ settings you can get into the woods pretty quickly if you don't know what you're doing. Small changes to the bass range in Hertz (Hz) tends to be your best bet (-1 - -3). Alternatively, you could boost the mid and high-end range.
@@ThomasMuehler After some messing with it some more I realized that turning off the "surround sound" feature eliminated the overpowering bass sound I was getting. As for the background noise, its still not great. I changed the gate a bit and that helped a lot but I think I'm going to try using Krisp to help some more. Unfortunately I don't have an Nvidia GPU. I think it would help if the mic was able to adjust towards my mouth more, and if it had an opening on only the mouth side instead of both sides. I don't really understand that design decision lol
@@bjsiau The two sided microphone is supposed to provide some "noise cancelling". As it takes what you are saying along with what is going on from the other side of the mic so it can cut down on background noise and focus more on your voice. Which sounds great in theory but doesn't always work well in reality.
I'm almost wondering if your mic is actually slightly defective where it is boosting that sound instead of reducing it. I'm not sure if A. you could provide enough information on an RMA for that. As with it being a removable mic they may just send you a new microphone you could use.
B. If they have it available to just buy a la cart. or
C. if you are still in the window to exchange it at the store.
As you're definitely doing all the right things and still having a lot of issues which shouldn't be the case.
@@ThomasMuehler Now this is interesting. I called Logitech to see if they could send a replacement mic and they said that this model does not have the background noise canceling technology built in like their other gaming models do so there's nothing I can do to fix the background noise. It's so bad that the mic picks up the sound coming out of the headset itself, causing a ton of echo for anyone I'm in a chat with. The only fix I have found is Krisp which is $12 a month. I will probably return these and get something cheaper and better just less pretty lol. I'm disappointed to say the least, given the ridiculous price point.
@@bjsiau 1. Interesting, I would have figured at this price point and with the microphone design that it would be a feature. How surprising! Also, what a load of BS. $230 and you don't include that?! It's robbery.
2. They still didn't offer you a replacement? Seeing as the microphone shouldn't be picking that stuff up regardless?! They were just like "oh well, sucks to be you?" What a crap and poor response.
3. I'm glad Krisp works, but I know I couldn't justify $12 a month for that. I'm sorry you'll have to replace them for something less pretty. That is a bummer. It leaves me at a loss at what the heck Logitech was thinking regarding this entire lineup. Especially, seeing as laissez faire their response has been to the whole thing while holding onto their premium price point.
Does anyone know how to return the headset to the default lighting it comes with? After I downloaded the RGB program and fiddled with the lighting I ended up just liking the original light effect but now I don't know how to change it back 😅
In Logitech G Hub under the lighting you'd either pick "default" or I think it is the "Pastel" or "Paint" or something like that. I don't remember the exact name and am too lazy to download the software and check.
IMO the microphone pops way to much to justify its price tag.
Agreed. I think there are several things about this headset that prevent the justification of the price.
I think theyre a great headset asthetically and the fact that they are lightspeed, but i hate the interference with the usb bluetooth. The sound is always cracking and poppin, and for the 229 price point it is ridiculous. These headphones should easily be 130 or less. I am also disapointed that they didnt include the 3.5mm as you mentioned. I am buying one tomorrow to see if having the headset wired fixes the cracking and popping sound when gaming or watching videos on my PC. Thanks for the tips and honesty. Again great headphones in my opinion, but not for 229 when it has lots of audio problems. They shouldve jsut made them wired to begin with.
I agree, better price point (or better performance) would completely change these. Being wired would have been a great option especially at a lower price point.
I’ve been having issues getting mine to connect to g hub to use the lightsync I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. My husband even tried to figure it out and wasn’t able to so idk. He tried uninstalling and reinstalling and has tried some other things but nothing seems to work 😭
That sounds very frustrating! I know this is a silly question but you have the the USB Wireless adapter plugged in and paired with the headset correct? You aren't trying to do it through Bluetooth? As that would be the only thing I could think of. Also, you could try hardwiring it via USB
Does it work with ps4/ps5 consoles?
While it technically works on PS5 (as I don't have a PS4 to test). The volume is far to low to make it a viable option. I often don't listen to things loud so if it is too quiet for me that is really saying something. So while it works it doesn't actually work. So, no.
@@ThomasMuehler thank you so much! Such a shame 😢
@@steff162 Right?! I'm totally with you there.
Can it connect to smartphone?
Yes, it can.
I'm deciding between aurora and barracuda. which one is better?
@@nguyenha1174 You saw my thoughts on this headset. I rank it as like C-Tier. It's fine but overpriced. I haven't tried the Barracuda. So, can't say how that ranks. Personally, with the Barracuda being less expensive and the G735 being average I'd go with the Barracuda as at worst you'll get another C-Tier headset for less money and at best it will be better for cheaper.
Your sound is not the greatest when you move away from the mic ....have to keep putting the volume up and down the whole time to hear what your saying ....just thought it would be constructive for you to know.
I do appreciate you letting me know. As that is definitely something that I want to avoid.
Is there alow letancy with game in phone by blutooth
I'm not sure if it comes with low latency Bluetooth or not. You could probably google search that and find out. But there will always be increased latency with bluetooth. Which is why it comes with 2.4 GHz wireless as that is faster.
Finnaly Not a review for the G45 smth
Lol, I'm actually shocked at how many people aren't reviewing this headset. I think it has been a massive flop on Logitech's side. As they made some very interesting choices that I think blew up in their faces for the majority of users.
@@ThomasMuehler Yeah your the first vid I found of these Pairs lol
Can i User this on console
It is made for PC/Mac. Wireless does NOT work on console confirmed by multiple people. While it is read correctly on PS5 the volume is too low to be useable. However, since it supports 3.5 mm audio it would technically work on a console WIRED via 3.5 mm through the controller. But I do not recommend buying this headset and using it that way.
ive repeatedly tried getting the headset to come up on my g hub and it just wont. my birthday was yesterday and i got this headset as a gift, but the sound is just awful and i need to fix it somehow. do you have any idea why its not showing up and how to fix it?
I am so sorry that the headset isn't working for you as intended. Especially right after your b-day. Happy late birthday. I hope outside of this it was a good one. As for your question, my only things that I can think of for how to get it to show up in G-Hub is to
1. Make sure you are plugged in with the included USB-A to USB-C cable directly to the headset (over the wireless dongle). If that works make sure to update the headsets firmware if applicable.
2. If that doesn't work ensure the G-Hub software is up to date.
3. If it appears up to date Uninstall/Reinstall G-Hub.
4. If that doesn't work makes sure the drivers of the headset itself are up to date. (windowsreport.com/logitech-g-hub-not-detecting-headset/)
5. If that doesn't work I would reach out to Logitech Support. As I have no idea.
As for sound. Depending on exactly what you mean by "awful" it could be;
1. That the headset's sound profile just doesn't sound good to you. I personally was not impressed with it as. But it was more meh than awful. Others in my comment section haven't been impressed either. I do recommend trying the preset that I mention in the video as it made a huge difference for me. For that check the pinned comment and/or description of this video to see if that helps (once you get G-Hub working).
2. Do you own EQ setting to see if that helps.
3. It could be defective. Especially, if you never get G-Hub to work.
Unfortunately, I found this to be a miss (like the mass majority of Logitech headsets as of late). Which is extra frustrating seeing how heavily it is marketed towards women.
I'd love to hear if you got it working and if you changed the preset if it was helpful or not. If not you won't hurt my feelings.
I’m stuck between getting the steelseries arctis pro’s or the Logitech g735 I’m on ps5 which would you recommend?
I personally am using the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless and I LOVE them. They are stellar all around and easily the best headset that I’ve ever tried even beating out the Astro A50’s. And that’s coming from someone who really doesn’t like SteelSeries or any of their products. Definitely won me over. Eventually, I’ll get to releasing my review of them. But they are S Tier.
The SteelSeries Arctis Pro (I’m not sure if you are talking about the Wired here or the Wireless) I’ve never been a huge fan of. As I think they are B Class. (S, A, B, C, D, F highest to lowest ranking). Definitely think they are better than these. I’ve tried them twice now and wasn’t blown away by them and found them to be pretty average in general which is why I never released a review as I just didn’t think they were worth the time and effort. But people tend to also love them so maybe I’m missing something.
You’ve got my thoughts on these from the review.
I’d be curious on which ones you decide to go with and your thoughts on them once you’ve tried them out if you remember and care to get back to me.
I have adjusted the sounds and used custom pre sets and game sound for ps5 is still so quiet ugh has anyone figured anything out??
It isn't supported on PS5 which is why you aren't getting adequate enough sound. The only fix is to use a 3.5 mm aux (ideally 4 pole if you want to chat) and plug it into your PS5 controller.
i have been looking a getting these for a while as they looked super nice and i was looking for a headset with a decent mic. they are on sale at target rn for 199$ + 25% off + the 10% and 5% i get as an employee so they would be about 128$. would you recommend them for that price? the mic seems like the most lackluster part from the review so i’m just not sure.
I think for 128 it is a good deal.
i recently got this headset and ive noticed that they have a audio delay, more noticeable when im playing rhythm games, which for a supposedly lightspeed connected headset ahs me very confused. I was curious if u perhaps know how to fix this issue?
Interesting. How far away is your dongle from your headset? And is anything obstructing it?
I need some kind of advice because I bought these and I plugged in the dongle into my PS five and the sound is extremely low no matter if I adjust my settings in my PS five or max out the volume on my headset the sound is completely low and I can’t seem to get it to crank up. I have no idea what to do and I’m about to return this headset.
So, for some reason Logitech limits the volume of their headsets for PS5 unless if they are "officially supported', which these are not. Therefore, you get sound that is extremely low despite everything being read correctly.
If I had to guess, Logitech/Astro didn't want to pay PS5 a fee to allow their headsets to work on PS5. And since PlayStation is kind of snobby they don't let headsets that don't pay that fee work. So we the consumer lose.
I mention in other comments that these don't support PS5. Which is why you're having problems.
Is there a way to get these to work on a ps5? They were advertised that they worked, I can get voice to come through but is ridiculously quiet through a USB c to USB adapter but I just wanna just them properly :(
Advertised that they worked where? As I haven't seen that they are officially supported. Also, if I mentioned that they were in my review that was a mistake and I apologize. Technically, the PS5 will read that they are correctly connected. However, whether it be licensing issues with Sony or Logitech they make the volume too low to be viable. I am unaware of anything that makes them work correctly. Other than you could technically get an Aux cord and then plug that into the controller. I suppose you could also try bluetooth? Does the PS5 even have bluetooth?
