The G435’s foam ear cups are soft enough, but the adjustability of the cups falters. I couldn’t get it working until a rep at Logitech explained that I could hold the Power and Mute buttons for 3 seconds to pair the headset to other devices (and that the QR code/website will be updated once the G435 launches). There isn’t a dedicated button to toggle this feature on and off, and the QR code offered on the box housing the USB dongle and cables led only to a ”404 Page Not Found” message on Logitech’s website. While the G435 quickly registers its USB dongle when plugged into a PC and PS4, I couldn’t get the Bluetooth function to work with my phone. There were a few hiccups to make mention of though. Like I said, my overall experience was good. I walked all around my house (two floors up and down) and never lost connection. And when it comes to the G435’s 10-meter wireless range, forget about it. On one charge I got roughly 18hrs of play. I liked how it emits an alert to let you know when you’ve muted/unmuted yourself. The absence of any surround sound options didn’t ruin most experiences while I wasn’t always able to pinpoint the direction of an approaching Xenomorph in Aliens: Fireteam Elite, the game was still somewhat immersive sound-wise.Īll of the G435’s buttons worked as intended. My friends could always hear me when gaming, though the twin mics did leak in a little background noise here and there. The sound quality was good, with gunfire and explosions well represented. Logitech G435 – Performanceĭespite its fragile frame, I enjoyed most of my time with Logitech’s G435. ![]() ![]() I made sure to move it as gingerly as possible, lest I accidently crack some inner working and ruin the sliding mechanism. While I’m not a fan of that design in general, the G435’s is made worse by how thin the bar is that connects them to the headband. Having the ear cups move up and down is worrying as well. I’m still concerned about long term use though. That said, I put it to the test, and the headset held up through repeated drops from my desk to the floor. So much so that I’m afraid that an ear cup will snap off if it were to fall from a moderate height. While I’m reluctant to use the word “cheap” to describe it, the headset felt extremely fragile during play. Unfortunately, the G435 differs when it comes to durability. There isn’t much in the way of adjusting one’s sound beyond using your PC or console settings.įor the most part, Logitech’s latest headset sounds familiar enough. The G435’s external functions are limited to a power button, volume toggle, and mute button, all housed above a USB-C charging port on the left ear cup. It all works as intended the drivers allow for solid highs and lows, while the interior mics do an admirable job of picking up the wearer’s voice in noisy environments. Dual beamforming mics, located on the left cup, replace the typical removable mic. In the sound department, the G435 sports 40mm drivers. There’s also the option to connect to mobile devices via Bluetooth (more on that later). It uses Logitech’s Lightspeed wireless technology, offering a low-latency connection using a USB dongle. ![]() Modeled like the company’s other G series headsets, it offers some of the same features – like soft memory foam cups, a lightweight frame, and adjustable ear cups in place of an adjustable headband. ![]() The Logitech G435 sports a modest design. 6 Images Logitech G435 – Design and Features
