However, these headphones did serve me a good long 3 years if not more, and I have no real reason to doubt their quality and I bet if I had treated my first pair better it probably could’ve served me much longer.
The sound is pretty good with no problems to complain about but I have seen some people say that for buying more expensive headphones you could get better quality and so apparently what you’re paying for for these headphones is acceptable for the reduced quality? I’ve never splurged more than around £50 for headphones so I wouldn’t know but these do the job and I have no reason to doubt their sound.
In terms of comfort I would say they’re pretty decent, the ears are comfortable however at times I do feel like the bridge of plastic that goes over your head can sometimes feel as if it’s been grinded into your head and be slightly uncomfortable but I’ve never really realised it to the point where it’s been a bother so it may have just been how I’ve adjusted it to my head or how I was sat, but it’s worth noting and I don’t think it’s really something that can make or break it if your thinking about buying them.
I’d say the wire is also a bit excessively long if you ever untie the straps keeping it short but then again that’s just down to preference and if you tend to stay organised and keep them tied up properly it’s not even a problem, but because I’m messy and occasionally fiddle with the wires in boredom I’d let the whole thing lie out and in turn sometimes get it knitted or stuck in my chair wheels but again that’s just down to me.
I’ve bought a second pair as I said as the first served me very well over around 4 years and I am confident it’ll serve me just as long again. Would definitely recommend.
Pros.
The headset is comfortable, and can easily be worn over extended periods of time, the fixed position microphone and sound-filtering dual-sided microphone is incredibly helpful with reducing background noise and providing clear audio, the surround sound works as well as intended and can be toggled if not your thing.
Whilst it's light-weight it feels incredibly robust, with metal encased in plastic it feels far more sturdier than my last, and the mic folds up nicely to be out of your periphery and, what I find most important, doesn't seem to break easy, like flexible wire microphones featured on cheaper headsets. The cord is thin and light-weight, unlike the previously plastic-wrapped wires I've had it hasn't twisted into an incomprehensible mess, which my previous headsets have done in minutes.
Audio quality is superb too - as expected for the price and software available.
Negligible Cons.
The software doesn't come with the headset, which in itself isn't a problem since you can download it from their site, but to be able to adjust aspects of the headset you have to run the rather memory-consuming logitech process which often slows down other applications, rather annoyingly. This may be a problem just for me, and the software could be doing something intended (Since it's a broad-application for all Logitech equipment) but it is annoying none-the-less. In my tests it was using ~900,000k RAM whilst considerably idle.
Additionally, if you like incredibly loud music this headset does seem to have a natural volume limit. Good enough to stop un-expected incredibly loud and un-expected noises, but somewhat limiting if you want to really deafen yourself. It's in no means a bad thing, the natural 100% volume is well tailored for all applications in gaming, but sometimes if you want music loud enough to say, deafen a jackhammer outside that won't shut up hammering at eight in the god damn morning.
Apart from those two (Very minor) points, I say it's pretty darn good.
