Frankly, the mic input level was a bit too low for me and I was disappointed to find out that there was not a boost toggle. However, if you use a PC, you can go to the microphone properties settings, find the Automatic Gain Control option and have this issue solved. G433 Sound Quality The headset also offers virtual surround sound when using the USB DAC, which can be used to enhance the soundstage in games. It will never be able to match the likes of a dedicated home theatre, but it’s certainly worth experimenting with, since it can help games such as Mass Effect: Andromeda to ‘open up’.
You can have your headset up and running without fiddling with the Logitech Software, but if you want to make the most out of the DTS Headphone:X virtual surround, you have to use the USB adapter and spend some time adjusting the settings to your personal taste.The top of the headset is made of plastic material, and the underside of the headband is covered with cloth-covered foam. The ear cups are replaceable, super flexible and you can rotate them through 90 degrees. The headset ships with cloth and microfiber pads. I have to admit that ear pads swapping gave me a hard time. I wish it was easier to take off the pads that are already on the headset. The microphone offers active voice canceling feature. Your teammates or the people on the other end of the chat will not hear any environmental noises. The included cables also have a five pole double-grounded system. In other words, the only sound sent out over the microphone will be your voice. The sound G433 produces is not too bassy, but it does not break up with the higher notes either. If you are a PC gamer, you will like the DTS Headphone: X support and the 7.1 Surround sound. The ability to hear explosions and gunfire loud and clear improves your chance of defeating your enemies in a game. Outside gaming, the G433 scored pretty well, too. I switched between a wide range of music genres and can say that I experienced minimal frequency distortion. If you are a fan of a music genre most people around you loathe to think about let alone to listen to, the G433 is a good choice. The cups isolate the sound pretty well, so the disturbance of your family or roommates is kept to the minimum. Logitech G433 In-Game Performance Each side of the headset sports a thin layer of colour-matched cloth, with the Logitech logo neatly etched into each side. It’s here that you’ll notice the slightly cheap-feeling nature of the G433; it simply doesn’t feel all that great in the hand. The ear cups themselves are replaceable, with both cloth and microfiber pads provided in the box. While neither screams luxury, both are conformable to wear for long periods of time without excessive build-up of heat.
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 The carrying case is a soft, zip-up pouch that comfortably holds the headset with the earcups folded flat. It also has room for both cables and the extra earpads, but unless you use some method to keep the cables neatly looped (we recommend hook-and-loop strips), you're inviting an annoying tangle every time you pull your headset out. Game Performance I tested the headset in multiple games- Gears of War, Battlefield 1, and Prey being among them, and I enjoyed a truly crisp sound. Apart from PCs, the headset worked great with consoles, too. You will not get a virtual surround due to the availability of a USB soundcard, though. You have to plug the 4-pole connector into the console. If you wish, you can plug the mobile cable into the Xbox One or PS4, but personally, I prefer the PC audio cable. Not only the boom mic sounds better, but I also like the mute switch and volume dial it features.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. The G433 is covered in a sports mesh. Well, this is kind of a weird design decision, some of you would say. At a first glance, it is. However, the sports mesh helps you keep the headset clean. Trust me, this is a perk you will appreciate that after a few months of usage. The stains can be easily removed with a damp sponge. 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.
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. The G433 comes with two interchangeable headphone cables that plug into the bottom of the left earpiece. The PC cable is braided and has an in-line volume dial and mute button. It’s a quality cable that feels sturdy with a good volume/mute clip that feels like it will last a while. The mobile cable is smooth plastic and replaces the volume/mute clip with an in-line mic and command button (tap to pause/play, double-tap to skip forward). The in-line mic works well, but it’s frustrating that there’s no volume control as on most mobile headsets. The boom mic for use with the PC cable is detachable, and made of a pliable rubbery material that easily bends where you want it to go. Logitech also built-in a small, slim pop filter like the one on the G533 so the mic doesn’t have to be covered in a big foam ball. Logitech has tried to find the balance between affordability and the integration of all essential features that would make the G433 an all-rounder headset. I do not know many people who have separate headsets for gaming, listening to music, watching movies, and outdoor use. It seems G433 offers all these features under one roof. Not bad at all.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. 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. You must have noticed that the majority of high-end models have some space to allow better airflow. The G433 headset has a similar port located right behind the headband. 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.
