Pros and cons

According to our gaming headset expert

No searching on the ear cups. The audio controls are on the cable.
90-degree rotatable ear cups. Useful when the G430 is around your neck.
The two ear cushions are removable, for example to wash them. Nice and hygienic.
Additional software is required for the use of surround sound. That's why surround sound only works on the PC.
For gamers with larger heads, this headset can become uncomfortable during longer gaming sessions.

Description

The Logitech G430. A headset that every PC gamer or PS4 owner has been listening out for or simply needs. Because the powerful 7.1 surround sound means nothing will escape your in-game experience. The headset has an extremely broad range: it knows how to handle the low frequency effects and blasts you with every explosion. You'll hear your enemies coming before they see you. With the Logitech G430 you'll have eyes in the back of your head and victory is there for the taking.

Light and comfortable

You don't want to be annoyed with an uncomfortable out-of-position headset during a long gaming sessions, and why would you. You already have enough on your mind: disappointing teammates, strong opponents, and a lot more. This is why you should choose the Logitech G430. It's lightweight. It has ear cushions made from perforated material; the ear cushions 'breathe' and reduce the chance of pinched, sweaty ears. Note: 7.1 Surround Sound only works on the PC.

Great headset for little money

I've been using this headset for a few days now and have to say it's a great headset. Before this I had a Razer Megalodon, which was quite disappointing to me. That's why I switched to the Logitech G430. The sound is really great, with the software that can be downloaded from the Logitech website it can be adjusted to your own liking. The headset fits well around the head and is fairly soundproofed. The first few hours I had the headset on, the headband gave me a bit of a headache, but that's because it's memory foam, so it takes a while to get comfortable. The microphone is also nothing to complain about on teamspeak 3. The Coolblue site states that the microphone is muted when you fold it up. That is not true. The microphone must be muted via the in-line control. All in all, excellent value for money for the headset. Delivery via Coolblue was of course excellent.

Logitech G430

It certainly looks good, although this remains a matter of taste
7.1 surround and a good microphone
Breathtaking sound
You have to wear the ear pads in for a while, they are still quite hard for the first 20 minutes. Then fine! :)

I was looking for a good headset in an affordable price range. My eyes quickly fell on the Logitech G430. I immediately wondered if the headset was worth the price and whether it was worth buying this thing. I can tell you I'm glad I did. It has been with me for about 3 weeks now and I am very pleased with it. Example: At the moment I play a lot of Battlefield 4. I was completely shocked... I was so in the game with this headset, I was shocked myself. The sound was breathtakingly beautiful, highly recommended for the FPS enthusiast.

It is also recommended for people who like other games. It lasts a long time, I don't use my headsets very carefully and occasionally just throw them off my head. This thing can have it all easily, although this does not mean that you should not be careful with your headset on purpose! ;)

This is one of the few headsets where you get so much for so little. Highly recommended and actually a must-have for people who are willing to pay quite a bit for a good headset that is still relatively cheap for a headset with 7.1 surround sound and with a microphone. TOP!

Detachable ear cushions
7.1 surround

I have owned this headset for about two weeks and have not regretted my purchase yet. First of all, I would like to briefly mention why I chose this headset.

Why Logitech 430?

I had been looking for a nice and good headset with which I can listen to music and games and with which I can communicate with my teammates for a while. The main focus of my purchase was the price. Like many people, I want the most without having to pay the most. Thanks to the handy decision aid on the Coolblue site, I eventually ended up with this headset.

The Logitech 430G offers the best specs for the best price in my opinion, the 7.1 surround certainly helped with this. I personally also think the design of the headset is fantastic, the metal brackets give a feeling of sturdiness and gives more confidence in the build quality.

The package

This headset is currently the fourth item I purchase from Coolblue, just like the previous items, everything was delivered on time. I was a bit surprised at the size of the box but I was happy to see that everything was very well protected. So I don't have much to say about the delivery other than that it was perfect as usual.

The headset

When I first took the headset out of the box, I was really happy with the design. Personally, I think the headset looks stylish. As mentioned in the description, you can remove the ear pads and rotate the ear cups.

Usage

The headset is very easy to use, set size, install software from the Logitech site and start gaming! What was a pity is the lack of an automatic mute function when one raises the microphone. In the beginning I thought this was a bit of a shame but now I think it's better this way because this function often gets damaged by using it a lot.

The software that you can download on the site ensures that you can use the 7.1 surround (see photo). However, the surround disappointed me a bit. The sound sometimes comes across as a bit cardboard-like and often has a kind of reverberating effect. In games like Battlefield you do notice the surround (so I could locate a drain) but it is not always convincing. Of course you can adjust the different sound channels and the bass via the software. What I do want to mention here is that the headset itself does not have 7.1 channels, but the sound card takes care of this. So you can perfectly enjoy 7.1 surround with stereo headphones. This made me a bit doubtful whether I had made the right choice and not better have bought a sound card with a cheaper headset.

I like the microphone and the sound in general. The microphone is clear and ensures that you can be heard clearly by other people. If you just want to listen to music, you also have crystal clear sound.

The headset is also very comfortable. The pads are thick enough to prevent your ears and head from hurting after a few hours. I have to say that the pillow can sometimes cause some pain in the beginning, but after a week this goes away.

Recommended?

Despite the slight disappointment of the 7.1 surround, I would still recommend this product. For this price you can of course not expect the best surround or have the best sound card. For this price, however, you do get a nice headset with sound card, but if you want better surround, I would personally recommend taking another sound card that supports Dolphy Headphone.
