Logitech g230 microphone better software#
The G430 includes all the trimmings of the G230, but the dongle enables you to use Logitech's redesigned and very useful desktop gaming software suite to produce simulated 7.1 surround sound.īass is as boomy as ever, and while the positional audio subjectively felt better than the G230, it still seemed a little bit off compared to the Razer Kraken 7.1. It's pretty reasonable to assume the G430 is just a G230 with a G-series USB dongle, but that dongle is easily worth the added $20. This is a fine headset, but if you're gunning for a barebones gaming set, the G230 really isn't worth the $59, especially not when the vastly superior G430 is only $20 more. Its best feature is that it has very strong, eardrum rattling bass and produces a pretty crisp sound overall. The in-line control unit allows you to adjust volume and toggle the microphone on and off. You're not going to need Logitech's G-series software for this kit, which only uses minijacks for the headphone and mic connections. Fit and feel with glasses on wasn't ideal but was pretty good. The G230 isn't quite Logitech's "entry level" headset, but it's definitely a barebones affair. For these products, the issues turn into whether or not the headset is comfortable, sound is at least of palatable quality, the positional audio is effective, and the features included are useful. Their primary reasons for being are to produce an immersive gaming experience with usable positional audio and to offer decent microphone communication for VoIP. That's not to say these headsets offer poor sound quality, but they're not calibrated for and not designed for studio accurate sound. First, audiophiles should just close this review now, because these products straight up aren't for you.
Gaming headsets are a trickier proposition.
I watched my best friend's boyfriend's face light up when he started talking about the Corsair K70 keyboard I recommended to him, and it's not an unusual reaction: people often don't know how good things can be. Paying up for quality, be it a keyboard, a mouse, or a gaming headset, usually results in a measurably better experience. At 20 dB boost, my voice volume is perfect but the background noise got louder as well.People underspend on peripherals. Anything lower than that, my voice sounds like it's from a laptop microphone.Īt 10 dB boost, there's very little background noise but I'm still too quiet for my liking. Hmm, that didn't help at all although it helped me learn some things.įor example, there's background noise only at 96000 Hz and up. I've decided to keep noise suppression off because it messes around with my voice and I feel the background noise isn't as bad as having my voice distorted. Now just keep in mind the G230 microphone is pretty terrible so don't expect excellent sound quality.
