The second icon in the list gives access to an equalizer allowing customisation of audio settings for the headset. Firstly we have the “Home” icon which gives an overview of the attached device. Selecting the headset changes the icons on the bottom right. In this instance I have a Logitech gaming mouse as well as the G430 headset. Launching the Logitech Gaming Software, we are greeted with icons on the bottom left which denotes the devices attached. The last item that comes supplied with the headset is the USB adapter which is required for use with the Logitech Gaming Software and the surround sound feature. ![]() The cable also includes an in-line volume control and the ability to mute the microphone. Moving on from the rest of the headset, we have the braided audio cable which is fixed into place and cannot be detached. It is designed to make the headset comfortable the headband is filled with the same foam padding as the ear cups. The headband has the same blue foam padding. It also makes it easier to pack them in a bag as you can place them flat against a hard surface to prevent damage. That way you can lay the headset down flat on your desk when it is not in use. ![]() The headset ear cups fold flat for easier storage which is now common place with many gaming headsets. Keeping with the blue theme that Logitech are so fond of, here’s the headset. Let’s start off with a nice and close look of the G430 headset itself. Protecting the product as well as used to display it the clear plastic insert holds the headset in place. The card board section has the same branding that is displayed around the rest of the packaging. The clear plastic insert allows you to have a good close look at the headset itself. Let’s take a look at the right hand side of the packaging is made up of the plastic insert and the cardboard part of the packaging. The left hand side of the packaging has more information regarding the headset, including imagery and branding. All that information is listed in various languages. A brief synopsis on the product with numbered points and an image of the headset which points to what is listed. Looking at the back of the packaging has more in depth information on the headset itself. The other half of the packaging is a clear insert which displays the headset itself.

We became the worldwide leader in computer mice, and have reinvented the mouse in dozens of ways to match the evolving needs of PC and laptop users. We started in 1981 with mice, which (new at the time) provided a more intuitive way of interacting with a personal computer. Let’s quickly look at the specifications and then the product itself.įocused on innovation and quality, Logitech designs personal peripherals to help people enjoy a better experience with the digital world. The headset covers all of the key areas but will the headset be able to produce a decent sound? How will the microphone sound over VoIP? Only testing will tell so it’s onwards and forwards with the review. The G430 combines 40mm drivers with a excellent cardioid microphone so I am expecting it to live up to the Logitech name. G series has been around for quite some time now and Logitech are always looking to expand this range. It’s an entry level headset which comes under the G series range. ![]() Today I am going to be taking a look at the Logitech G430 Surround Sound Gaming Heatset.
