Logitech G635 DTS, X 7.1 Surround Sound LIGHTSYNC RGB PC Gaming Headset,Black

I have given this a 4 star review based on my impression of the speaker sound quality ONLY over the last 10 months of ownership (EXCLUDING the Microphone which has now failed completely). This is not my only headset, but it is my main headset, with or without a working mic, I prefer it over my Razer Kraken Pro, and Corsair Void, and Recon60P (all still have working Mic's and are MUCH older) in terms of speaker quality; when it comes to Microphone, none of the others come close to the Recon Microphone in quality; compared to it, the rest sound extremely cheap. Purchased to replace still working but aging recon60P, and the Void, and Kraken just weren't up to snuff without RGB ;) It was a nice upgrade in sound quality, but a huge decrease in mic quality. The software is great, sound quality is great, but the mic has failed in under a year. Now anytime the mic is activated it sends static through assaulting anyone in discord, or games. The mic is now akin to my $5 usb camera mic; and only broadcasts noise, since it is not detachable like the Recon60P it cannot be replaced. I will be getting a standalone mic, because I love the sound quality of this headset, and it fits my build (my other peripherals are Logi too). Consider this purchase a headphone purchase and you won't be disappointed. If you are getting it for the mic, it fails fast, and voice quality is mediocre on this headset, get a different headset, or a standalone mic with this one.. Honestly, I expected more from logitech at this price point.I love that you can plug your phone directly into it, and take calls in a side channel using a switch on the headset, granted the no mic thing detracts from that quite a bit now. The software works, though it can be a bit buggy around the edges. As it is less expensive now, by 70% I'd say this would be a great choice for a basic studio, or 7.1 surround applications. But don't rely on the non-removable built-in mic. Build quality is mid grade, feels good, but not super expensive. Mostly plastic, some cool magnets to 3dprint your own earcaps as well. lighter than the Void and Kraken, but heavier that the Recon60P. It's a good balance in terms of weight, and doesn't get heavy under long gaming sessions. The earcups can be quite squeeky, keep them lubed, or risk getting a migraine diagnosis from them moving around every time your head moves.

First let me start off this review saying this the last headset I will buy. It is that good I will probably never get a new one. Now let me tell you why.Firstly, the most important part of the headset:The Sound:The sound has some of the best quality I have heard in a headset. Even at its highest volumes, the sound is still crystal clear. Now this headset features both 7.1 Digital Surround Sound as well as stereo. For the 7.1 to work, you have to have the USB plugged in so the headset is powered, so you can literally get 7.1 DSS from any device as long as it is powered by USB. The sound quality can also be customized through Logitech's PC app, and saved as presets on the headset itself. The sound quality and customization for it, is simply the best For around 130$.The Build quality:The build quality may feel fragile and light at first, but it is truthfully well built. Nothing has broke on it since I bought it (granted I am careful with electronics I buy), and usually with some cheaper headsets they just randomly break. This have not. The build quality is exceptional.The comfort:In the build quality section I said the headset is light. With it being light, it is very comfortable for its size. I can have this headset on and it does not feel like I am wearing it most of the time, that is how comfortable it is. I can go hours playing or listening to something through this headset and have no irritation after a few hours of use. It is simply comfortable enough, it disappears when you put it on.The mic:Now here is where it gets interesting. The mic works well, and is concealable in the headset if you don't need or want to use it at the time. However, it is a bit short, and you have to speak up more for it to pick up your voice. Or you move to try to move it closer to you, but how far you can extend the mic is still short. The mic was probably the least focused on aspect of the headset, but it still works very well with how much else the headset does right.Finally there is the customizationThe Customization:This is where the Logitech G633 puts the final nail in the coffin against other headsets, in terms of price as well as everything previously mentioned. When you download the Logitech app to customize the headset, it gives you two things you can adjust: The sound and the lighting. The sound can be adjusted for heavier bass, for cinematic gaming, for FPS, for stealth, etc, and these are just the presets they have, you can create a new preset yourself. So you can change the sound quality to fit what you like. Secondly, this headset has customizable lighting. You can set the color to any of the 16.8 million colors available to you, and you can set to three effects: always on, breathing, and color cycle. You can also set which of the two zones you want on or off. Or alternatively you turn it off if you don't like the lighting effect.Final thoughts:The is by far the best headset on the market in this price range. Most headsets usually only specialize in one part of the headset to get right. Well, this headset simply crushes the competition in every area. You can hook it up to any device that has USB or 3.5mm jack (PC, Consoles, mobile devices), it is extremely comfortable, 7.1 sound and build quality are superb, and this level of customization is unheard of in a headset. This is simply the best headset you will get for your money. This the last headset you will have to buy. At least for a long time.Buy this headset over any others if you can afford it. You will not be disappointed, I know I am not.
