After more than 2 months of use, I would describe the Logitech G430 as comfortable. I found the headset to be fine for long periods of time and although it’s a snug fit, you almost forget that you are wearing it when the microphone is up.
In terms of sound, I couldn’t really fault the output and for the price, it’s probably punching above its weight division in terms of gaming but I’ve heard clearer headsets when listening to music – although not at this street price point.
The Logitech G430 is a really good gaming headset but I wouldn’t call it a stand out “all rounder”. It will certainly do for casual music or movies and is also good for VOIP but it’s pretty clear that Logitech designed this particular unit for gaming first and foremost.
The recommended retail price is $109.95 but the street price at the time of publishing is only $75. Given the versatility with both 3.5mm and USB connectivity it’s an attractive option.
At the moment gamers really are spoiled for choice with a number of gaming headsets competing for our ears. The best part is that we have seen some really good quality offerings at affordable prices. The RRP listed on the Logitech website is a little high in my view but with a much more reasonable street price in effect at the moment I’d consider the G430 a pretty safe buy if your budget is around the $75 mark.
