Logitech G430 review: specs and price
The Logitech G430 ranks above-average in nearly every category, from the impressive mic sensitivity to its passive noise reduction features. As one of the most comfortable gaming headsets, the Logitech G430 features a full-size form design with earcups that not only fully enclose your ears but also work to increase sound isolation.
This model offers the potential for maximum bass and loudness levels along with 360-degree surround sound and a noise-canceling boom mic. The 360-degree surround sound is made possible by the Dolby 7.1 surround sound, allowing gamers to feel truly immersed in the action and intensity of the game they’re playing.
While not a wireless gaming headset, the Logitech G430 does come with a straight plug, which is ideal for when the jack is on the top or bottom of your player. The headset’s cable measures 2.3 meters, ensuring that it’s long enough to allow for freedom of movement.

Design
1.has a detachable cable
✖Logitech G430
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
2.weight
255g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
3.has an over-the-ear form
✔Logitech G430
Comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This model is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors. It offers potential for maximum bass and loudness levels.
4.cable length
2.3m
A long cable ensures more freedom of movement.
5.has RGB lighting
✖Logitech G430
RGB lighting allows you to choose between millions of colors and customize the look of your PC components.
6.can be folded
✖Logitech G430
Foldable devices are easier to transport and take up less storage space.
7.has an earbud form
✖Logitech G430
The earbud form is ultracompact and lightweight, with little or no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. For some people it is more comfortable than in-ear form.
8.has an in-ear form
✖Logitech G430
The in-ear device is ultracompact and lightweight, with little or no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. It is inserted in the ear canal itself and blocks out a lot of environmental noise. It has stronger bass tones and is unlikely to fall out of the ear.
9.has an on-ear form
✖Logitech G430
This device comfortably rests on top of your outer ears. As it doesn't block out everything from the outside world, it's preferred in places like office environments and recommended for outdoor activities.
Sound quality
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
2.highest frequency
20000Hz
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
3.has active noise cancellation (noise control)
✔Logitech G430
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
5.sound pressure level
90dB/mW
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
6.impedance
32 Ohms
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
7.has a neodymium magnet
✔Logitech G430
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
8.has passive noise reduction
✔Logitech G430
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
9.drivers count
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A speaker driver is an individual transducer that converts electrical energy to sound waves. More drivers may result in better sound quality.
Microphone
1.has a noise-canceling microphone
✔Logitech G430
These microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
The lowest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording bass.

even though it's quite an old headphone, it's still really good and better than most headphones I've tried / use. the mic is also very clear. the durability is respectable and the software is up to date on windows (not available on Mac Mojave+)
