![]() Every creak of my chair registered loud and clear, and my voice had a noticeable amount of hiss behind it-possibly from the microphone picking up the sound of my computer’s fans. The G933’s microphone’s frequency response is decent, but this mic is more sensitive than most at picking up background noise. I ended up leaving the setting off most of the time, because it either added very little or actively detracted from what I was listening to: for instance, muddling sounds together and creating a jumble of noises or hollowing out the center channel. There’s little noticeable distortion, and in some games ( Battlefield, for instance), it even does a serviceable job emulating surround.īut those moments are few and far between, and even a “pretty good” implementation of surround sound in a headset doesn’t really measure up to even the weakest of real-world, multi-speaker setups. Unlike some notable competitors (I’m looking at you, Corsair), enabling surround doesn’t ruin the G933’s sound. I’ll give them this: The G933 has better simulated surround sound than most. Like most headset manufacturers these days, Logitech touts G933’s 7.1 capabilities. Music sounds surprisingly good, too, though I’d still give the edge to the Astro A50 or HyperX Cloud (or any number of actual headphones). The oversize ear cups give audio plenty of room to breathe in both gaming and non-gaming environments. I could do with a bit more low-end-and I did adjust that immediately by utilizing the “Drop the Bass” (eye-roll) EQ setting, and then tweaking from there.īut the G933 is a solid setup. Running the default “Flat” stereo setting, it’s a moderately bright, punchy headset. Corsair’s Void Wireless slips around more, but feels more comfortable-as does the Astro A50, if you’re willing to stomach the jump in price. The fit gets better the longer I wear it, but this headset still tends to vice-grip my head and leave me sore after a few hours of use. My one and only problem with the G933, and a reason for some of you to stay away: It’s tight. They’re big and goofy, despite Logitech’s improvements. But again, I wouldn’t wear these on the street. You can use the latter to plug the G933 into a phone, gamepad, or whatever-no battery required, though you’ll lose out on the lighting. ![]() Rounding out the design, the bottom of the left ear has a micro USB charging port and a 3.5mm analog jack. Some of it’s strange and a bit overdone-like a scattering of decorative triangle shapes inside the headband-but for the most part, these changes help the G933 look more like a modern headset and less like a relic of the ’90s. The G933 ditches that enterprise look, and instead features a less obtrusive logo (and logo placement), as well as some decorative accents that give it a lighter aesthetic. The G930’s ears were particularly ugly, a flat slab of matte-finish plastic saddled with the old, very-corporate Logitech logo and some chunky controls. But it looks good, and Logitech continues to offer some of the best lighting in the industry.īut illumination aside, the G933 is simply a sleeker headset. Like the rest of the company’s modern lineup, the G933 sports full 16.8 million color profiles for the strips of lighting on the rear of each ear and the lit-up logos on the facing sides. Logitech has added RGB lighting, of course. Nevertheless, the G933’s been prettied up.
