Logitech G935 Wireless DTS:X 7.1 Surround Sound LIGHTSYNC RGB PC Gaming Headset - Black/Blue

My first pair of good gaming headphones was a pair of Logitech G933s. I loved them, I used and abused them for about 5 years before they fell apart (adhesive on headband failed, ratcheting mechanism on earmuff cracked, etc.) The build quality was good, I was just hard on them. For these headphones I cannot stress enough the importance of installing Logitech G Hub and setting up a custom EQ profile, especially if you want to use surround sound. When you leave the EQ flat on surround sound these headphones are extremely boomy and bass heavy. When the EQ profile is right these headphones sound great. The mic is clear, and the battery will last around 12 hours with the RGB off, 8-9 with it on. If you run out of battery, the included charging cable is long enough to facilitate charging while wearing the headset. The wireless range I can get is about 10-20 feet through the walls of my bedroom, enough to walk over to the adjacent kitchen and grab a snack while still participating in a call on Discord for example. After 8 months of service my current pair of G935s had an amplifier or the driver for the left ear fail. I called Logitech the next day during business hours, and in 23 minutes total (15 of which was waiting for approval) their agent was able to confirm they were sending a replacement headset. Logitech provides and stands by a 2 year warranty on these, and their claims process is easy and no hassle. Given how quickly they processed my warranty claim, these are still 5 stars despite the failure.

This review is written from the perspective of someone who owned the original G930, and later the G933, and now having used the G935 for a few months. The Good Audio is still great despite no longer shipping with Dolby Support. The DTX Surround is better tuned on this device (I didn't like the DTX sound on the G933) and sounds just as good as the Dolby on the G933 New side tone feature is really nice, not just for hearing what I sound like but also for situational awareness. Since the noise cancelling is so good, it's nice to be able to turn on side-tone and be able to hear my environment when I need to. The leatherette ear cushions are surprisingly breathable. This was one of my biggest concerns since I've had leatherette over-ear headphones before and my ears and hair got really sweaty after just an hour or two of use. Since I work from home I was concerned that this new headset would get too hot for all day use. Thankfully I haven't had a problem with this. I can wear it comfortably all day and not get sweaty. Also, since it's the exact same shape and size as the G933, you can swap out the leatherette cushions for your old G933's if you prefer them. Also any replacements made for the G933 should also work for the G935. The new software is more flexible. I don't like how I can't see it's charging status while tuning the device (you can only see it from the home screen), but that's really nothing to complain about. There are a lot more options, you can have multiple profiles for the same game. I personally only use it to turn the lighting off and set the sleep timer but hey, it is objectively better. And the new software can actually be minimized which I really appreciate. Does a better job of switching between PS4 and PC. The G933 would sometimes get confused if I try to move from the PS4 back to the PC and I'd have to turn off the headset and then turn it back on to get it working again. So far I haven't had that issue and it works great with the PS4 just like the last two headsets. The Bad Still has the same mechanical power switch. So like I said I work from home and use this headset daily, almost all day. My G933 headset's power switch got worn out and stopped functioning properly. When turning the headset on I would only get audio in the right ear, and had to take a screw driver, open up the left ear and gently push the little plastic arm of the power switch back into proper alignment so it would work again. This was extremely frustrating but can be avoided by simply not using the power switch. So I've turned it on, and never turn it off. I just let it go to sleep, and when I need to wake it up, all you have to do is plug it in. As soon as it's plugged in it will power on or wake up so that is what I recommend doing to avoid wearing out the power switch.

Man, I wish this headset was perfect, but it has a pretty serious flaw. Over time the wires inside the headset come loose. This presents in two different flaws: sometimes the microphone won't work when it should, and sometimes the audio only comes out of one ear or is very quiet in volume. For awhile, both things can be corrected by smacking the ear of the headset on the side that has the microphone or by wiggling the power button. Eventually it'll just stop working entirely. I am on my third headset because this keeps happening, but it typically takes a few years to give out. I'm to a point where I have a fourth backup headset in storage because it went on sale and I knew I was going to need another. So why keep buying this one? It's relatively cheap when on a good sale, the audio can't seem to be beat and I just really like the headset in general outside of this one issue. I can walk from one side of my apartment to the other and not lose connectivity, even through a closed door. I also like that the RGB can be synced to my charging stand and keyboard. 😅

The sound quality in these is unmatched. I had my last pair for over 5 years, and hadn't really noticed that the sound had degraded a bit until I got the new pair. Holy cow, talk about high fidelity. Music of all genre's sounds great in these, and settings are easily tweaked to pair with whatever you're doing; gaming, jamming to tunes, watching a movie, or on a voice call. I play a lot of FPS games, and let me tell you, the bass ROCKS! I had to jump into a quick match right after I got these just so I could really enjoy how punchy the bass is while playing shooters. It really helps you feel immersed in the game. And of course, dtsX surround sound is unbeatable. No more getting ambushed! The last of the #35 series of Logitech headsets. Logitech's new headsets are suffering in quality, but this older design is still chugging away. It's super comfortable, and heavy duty. My last pair fell off my desk hundreds of times before the USB plug finally wore out. I love that you can color match with your other Logitech gear, and GHUB recognizes it immediately -- no compatibility issues. It holds a pretty decent charge (About 9-10 hours in my experience). It also still works on the charger, I know some headsets don't offer that. The only complaint I have is the leather earmuffs occasionally make my head a little sweaty. But those are easily replaced with fabric covers for a mere $15-20.

So I purchased these back in Feb 2021. I'd like to start with the good. This is the MOST comfortable headset I've ever owned. I have a rather large head, and these are perfect. I really like the features of volume control, preset switching, etc... However, with these features comes many many flaws, and decreased longevity. Out of the box they were amazing! Precisely what I wanted. After four months, they started having issues. They would cut in, and out randomly. This was even with a full charge. Then came the crackling of the speakers. Around the sixth month mark the left speaker cut out completely, and the buttons to operate on the headset stopped working. I consulted numerous forums, updated drivers, even contacted Logitech themselves. After discussing the issues through a single simple e-mail, Logitech sent me a brand new pair at zero cost, not even requiring me send them the malfunctioning ones. At the time I felt it made it seemed they knew about these problems. So I figured they sent me a newer updated set, that was not prone to have these issues. Well I was wrong the new headset which I've had for a year now. Has become the bane of me. Like I said, I love the feel of this headset, and try to ignore some of the other issues such as the buttons not working, etc... But the newer sent head set after 9 months has started doing all the same issues as the first. I've gotten a year out of this head set, but even with the included time of the first, Total time of about 18 months for $150.00. I don't believe these are very good. I have a old set of another manufacture's headset, and it's over 4 years old still works. Not the most perfect sound, but it does not cut out, does not stop working. I upgraded to have something newer. I went with Logitech, because I have numerous other products, mice, keyboards etc... that have lived up to the Logitech name time, and time again. However these feel like they are just not up to par. Sad to say, but I will not be buying another Logitech headset anytime soon. With rising cost of products, they need to last.

I purchased these in 2019. They were a replacement for identical ones my brother had passed down to me because they were old and worn... I loved them so much I got a new set. I've been using the current set for 7 years. I have had some issues with the power button not sliding all the way on which makes it seem like the left or right ear is dead, but sliding it off all the way and all the way back on fixed that problem. The ear covers had to be replaced after a few years due to wear. But there are a lot of cheap options for that. Overall, I love this headset. The quality of the sound, the life of the battery, and the range are unbeatable. I have tried other brands and honestly other than my wired Steelseries headset, nothing has come close. Definitely worth every penny. Would buy again.

I think I'm on my 3rd set of these in 6 years because of how good they sound (games, videos, music), and the mic quality for a headset mic is great. Control buttons are easy, but you do hit them from time to time by accident and have to open the control panel app to see what you hit. Connectivity is good and has a decent range with the USB adapter. I frequently wear them out in my backyard. One went bad (driver updates made the earlier G930 models not work well), which was replaced by Logitech for free. 2nd one I dropped hard, and it broke a little screw attaching the earpiece to the headset. For about 100$ you probably won't find better quality, and for less, they usually just dont sound good or work well.

I don't think of myself as a gaming headset expert by any means, but I've had 5 headsets in one year. Either I just have bad luck with headsets (which is true for one very pricy set of Astro 50s that I sat on), or the headsets put too much pressure on my head/aren't a great fit for my melon or they just aren't as feature rich as I'd like. That being said, just a heads up, I wear a size 8 new era hat and that's the biggest size they make (at least that I've been able to find). My head is big and my ears are about a medium size. Usually headphones with circle cups cause fatigue on my ears so I avoid them (I'm looking at you Corsair). Some of this review may be biased based on the size of my head and I'll get that part out of the way first. ######### ### FIT ### ######### For myself, the fit of the Logitech G935's was a little snug at first and I could only wear them for 3 hours before they started to hurt my head. after some stretching of the head band they opened up a little. After all was said and done I got about 6 hours of wearing them before they started to hurt my head/ears. These would fit comfortably on a medium to small size head. ######################### ### How I use the headset #### ######################## I use this headset for everything I do on my computer: music, movies, Teams Meetings, Single and Multiplayer gaming. I don't do competitive fps gaming where I need to hear footsteps behind me. I do play a lot of different kinds of games though including fps. ############## ### Features ### ############# I've never had a use for the G buttons on headsets from Logitech, but it's always been nice to know they are there if I need them. With a Logitech keyboard and Mouse, there are plenty of G keys and buttons to fulfill my needs. I like that I can mute myself by simply moving the mic up or down and it mutes myself and unmutes in a Teams meeting for work. (I spend roughly 40% of my time at work on teams meetings). Surround sound. It's there but it's nothing to write home about. It adds a little umph for movies. Gaming I can tell where a person is shooting from for the most part. But it's not extraordinary. It's not mind blowing or super immersive. RBG. Syncs up with your other RBG Logitech devices to provide consistent RBG across your devices. It's nice. but they're on your head. The only people seeing the rbg are my family. I don't really care about this feature and it doesn't really affect my rating. ############## ### Quality #### ############## At first I thought these would last years. They felt sturdy in all the right places. They had a solid design. I felt like I had a quality headset and I got my money's worth, but I digress. I would say I'm hard on headsets but with these that really wasn't the case. I would stretch the band to make them comfortable for longer. I have a headset holder hanging from my desk to put the headset when I'm not using it. I've really had no excuse for them to short out on one side, unless they just weren't designed for heads as big as mine. I usually avoid touching or pulling the wires connected to the cans like the plague. After the 9 months I had these, one side just shorted out. It would turn on and off if I (for lack of a better phrase) wiggled them around. The charging cable that comes with these is long enough to reach my head while plugged into my computer. But the rubber sleeve on the cable is cheaply made and split down the seam in several places exposing the bare wires from within it. This happened in less than the 9 months I had them. ########################################### ### Comparison with *some* of the other headsets ### ########################################### Astro 50 (old an new versions) I had an older generation of the Astro 50s that had the "leather" ear cup mods on them. They lasted me for a couple years before the leather started to peel away and so since they didn't have those mods anymore for the generation of headset I had, I had to get the latest version of the Astro 50s. The sound quality of both didn't blow me away. it was about on par with what the Logitech was giving me in headset surround sound. RIG 700s While I had this set I went back and forth between it and a pair of RIG 700s that I got from a Crate store that I got for fairly cheap at another store that sold sealed returns from other stores. The Rig 700s in terms of first impression felt cheap. But after using them for a while I realized they were meant to be light weight as to not provide fatigue and the doby atmos when paired with the right game or movie blows everything else I've tried out of the water. I can comfortably wear these without even noticing they are on my head for over 12 hours. The problem I had with the RIG 700s is that the mic was one you plug in and after going idle for so long it just turned off. the only way to get it to turn back on was to unplug it and plug it back in. other than that solid headset. RIG 800s So as I searched for something perfect, I got the Rig 800s with the docking station. This is hands down the best headset I've tried. I usually kept to name brands in the past: Corsair, Astro, Logitech, Sennheiser, etc. I thought RIG was going to be a knock off brand but was pleasantly surprised. This is my sweet spot. I haven't owned them for more than a year so I'm unsure if they pass the test of time, but we shall see.
