Logitech have introduced 4 new gaming headsets this morning, beginning with their newest flagship headset, the wi-fi G935. An up to date model of their outgoing top-end headset, the G933, the G935 is the primary Logitech headset to return with their proprietary Pro-G 50mm audio drivers, which Logitech hope will ship wealthy bass and ‘highly cinematic audio’. It will even be accessible as a wired model within the type of the G635, and can launch alongside Logitech’s different new gaming headsets, the G432 and G332, someday later this month.
Going again to the G935 for a second, although, this 2.4GHz wi-fi headset may have a battery lifetime of round 12 hours, in accordance with Logitech, which isn’t the very best wi-fi battery life I’ve ever seen, however ought to nonetheless be sufficient to get you thru the weekend. Switch on the G935’s LightSync tech (Logitech’s peripheral-wide RGB lighting system), nonetheless, and also you’re simply eight hours, which is fairly piddly in comparison with the claimed 24 hour battery lifetime of the 2019 version of the Steelseries Arctis 7 and 13 hour battery lifetime of HyperX’s Cloud Flight (which then stretches to an enormous 30 hours by turning off its LEDs).
Personally, I’ve by no means actually seen the enchantment of RGB lighting programs on headsets, as you’re by no means going to truly see it when you’re enjoying games. Unless you need to showcase your synchronised lighting profiles at a LAN occasion, it’s solely going to restrict your gaming time while you’re enjoying alone at house.
Battery life and rainbow lighting apart, although, the G935 additionally comes with (takes deep breath) DTS Headphone: X 2.zero encompass sound help (the identical because the Arctis 7), which Logitech hope will give the headset a extra genuine and immersive 3D sound for that aforementioned cinematic audio expertise, in addition to on-ear quantity controls, an upgraded microphone and what Logitech are calling ‘premium’ leatherette earpads, which you’d actually hope so given it’s going to value £160 (US pricing to be confirmed). Its equivalent wired sibling the G635, in the meantime, will set you again £130.
Starting from the left, we’ve bought the Logitech G935, G635, G432 and G332 (click on to enlarge).
For these of you who don’t have upwards of £100 to spend on a gaming headset, nonetheless, then the wired Logitech G432 (above, centre proper) ought to hopefully be far more up your avenue. Priced at £70, this multi-platform headset additionally comes with DTS Headphone: X 2.zero encompass sound help for that enhanced, 3D-edque audio, in addition to rotating leatherette ear cups and a flip-to-mute microphone.
And final however not least, there’s the £50 G332 (above, far proper). This is a daily stereo gaming headset (the remaining are all 7.1 headsets), however one that also gives the identical consolation and high quality as the remainder of its new siblings, in accordance with Logitech, which was all they had been keen to say about it of their press launch.
Can they break into my best gaming headset rankings, although? With all of them launching this month, hopefully we gained’t have to attend too lengthy to search out out.
