Review on Immersive Gaming Audio: Logitech G935 Wireless DTS:X 7.1 Surround Sound LIGHTSYNC RGB Headset - Black/Blue by Carlos Massey

First of all I would like to say that apart from the headset itself I had problems with this headset. I'm not deducting a star because this is a product review and not the seller. My first order for this headset is the G430 headset. But it was in the correct (albeit crumpled) G935 box. My guess is that the previous owner of this box cheated the seller and replaced this expensive headset with a cheaper one. Which frustrates me knowing I would have gotten a "refurbished" headset if it was the right headset. Certainly not new and definitely not renovated. In any case, let's come to this review. Some of my greatest desires in a headset are wireless connectivity, comfort, software proficiency, and good sound. The G935 excels in all but one of these categories. Wireless is great. It has more range than my Arctis 7 and Elite 800 and is about the same size as my Stealth 520. Great. The key is quite small and fits inside the headphones themselves. Comfort. The G935 outperforms every other headset I've tried, but not by much. I have a medium sized head and this fits my head very well. Also, the faux leather looks great and the earbud area is very spacious. The most spacious headphones I have ever experienced. Battery. The G935 definitely lacks in this area. While this isn't a huge issue for me, many people find the slow loading times and low battery life bothersome. 12 hours just isn't good, especially since the previous G933 had the same battery life. Any improvement, especially compared to the battery life of other 2019 headphones, is unacceptable. As far as I can tell, on par with any other high-end gaming headset. The spatial sound is full and I can determine the direction very well. But in terms of surround sound, there isn't much of a difference from other DTS 2.0 headphones, which isn't bad, but don't expect to hear or feel the difference from other DTS 2.0 headphones. There is no distortion even at high volumes, but the result is not as loud as other headsets. Microphone. Very clearly. It feels a bit far from my face, but I was surprised it was still able to transmit my voice clearly. My friend and other netizens would say I sounded like I was using a very high quality microphone. Durability. I recently got a G935. But it seems it's reinforced with metal in the right places, which tend to break. There's not much to praise here, but nothing to complain about either. tricks If you like tricks then look no further. With the RGB backlight you can't see and the reduction in already low battery life, it looks very good. If you kind of stare at the back of your head. 50mm drivers don't affect the sound and if they do, I definitely can't hear them. The microphone folds into the headset, which is actually a very useful feature, and the key can be placed in the ear cup. Now for what really shut me up and was the main reason I came back. it's in 3 weeks or so. Software. G-Hub is terrible. Perhaps console gamers could have a decent time with this headset, but I for one can't take it. For it to actually connect to your headset, it's like flipping a coin. Reinstalling the software works. Until it happens again. Or you can just restart your computer. Otherwise nothing works. I was very annoyed because without the program you cannot change any settings. And you can't even see the remaining battery life. Great headset with terrible software. value for money. I paid a whopping $170 for this headset. Is this a good headphone? Yes, that's right. But for this price, it lacks many of the core features that would really make it at this price point. Good software, good battery life, Bluetooth connectivity and noise cancellation. At nearly $200, this headset should do basic tasks well, as it does for the most part. And do a few more things. Adding useless tricks instead of useful features makes no sense to me. If the tricks I've listed above are more important to you than the things I've listed then go ahead, but if you're a budget conscious buyer I suggest looking into other .TLDR headsets. bad software. Bad battery life. Lots of tricks. Very good wearing comfort and sound. Very expensive Edit 12/20/19 Bought this headset again sometime in October. It was sold for $100, I thought Logitech fixed some issues. Apparently they did it. However, some software problems persist. Fortunately, software issues are a little more manageable. The reason I bought this headset again was because I never replaced it. But I really liked the comfort of the headset (and I've had many pairs of headsets). Software issues I've encountered: G Hub won't install if you previously uninstalled it. I found that the solution is to remove hidden files in the registry. G Hub uses 100% of my CPU. I've only seen this twice and I don't have a solution for it. Even though I'm using 100% of my CPU, I think it might have been a false usage bug as my games have never lost framerates as a result. again. However, the software is not completely unusable now. And all the good things I said about the headset remain true. At $100, the headset is really competitive right now. I'd say it could compete with Arctis 7 or Astro headsets for the money.
