Logitech G332 Wired Gaming Headset, Black

I wanted these so bad. I don’t care about the gaming aesthetic at all, but these had features that, on paper, were all that I was looking for and they were cheap enough. Once I got them, they were disappointment after disappointment, to the point they are not even worthy of replacing my old headset… in fact, I’m getting a new pair of my old headset as a backup.

Let’s get the good stuff out of the way before I can continue. I really like the ear cups. The fabric is relatively soft, they don’t heat up my ears that much. The cups are deeeeeeeeeep. My ears are not even close to touching the drivers, which I find surprising. Clamping force is a bit tight for my liking, but they do a GREAT job at passively isolating noise from the outside, specially if you have music or something else playing.

Now let’s check the dirty stuff. And man, these are filthy. The only downside I can find is the microphone.

The microphone on this headset is, simply put, UNUSABLE. I was monitoring myself and I could freaking hear my family chatting in the living room. Every. Single. Word. I felt like I was using hearing aids, the mic picks up EVERYTHING.
Do they make you sound like you’re heavy breathing when it’s not true. Yes.
Do they intensify ambient noises as rumbles, scratches, and creaks? Like nobody’s business.
Do they pick up you voice loud and clear? Yes, and so the person in the next room’s voice.
Will they pick up a door closing two blocks away and make light, intermittent neighborhood traffic sound like you’re in the middle of the interstate during rush hour? Why do you even ask. This is hands down the worst Mic ever. You have to set the mic volume to 30 unless you want to use these as spy gear to eavesdrop on people 2 miles away.

My previou… current headset is a Logitech H111. Cheap, great mofos. The H111 headset costs 1/4 what these cost and works 10 times better. They are as barebones as they get, but they do they work like champs. The mic on those makes the mic on these sound like you’re speaking through a tin can phone. Even the drivers sound better, and they are not the best-sounding headset ever. I love the mic on the H111s, but I got the G332 because I wanted better audio while keeping the great mic. I check some solid 10 reviews and everyone said the mic was great. I was so naive.

Anyway. I won’t fall for the gamer bs again, lesson learned. I take this as my complete fault for trusting a bunch of amateur reviewers that didn’t know what they were doing but didn’t also want to negatively score these just because they’re Logitech headsets. From now on, I’ll save and get the real stuff.

I have had 2 pairs over the last 8-10 years, only reason the first pair went out was the vacuum sucked up the cable.
I got another pair and theyre great!. The mic is a bit quiet tho! I cranked up all my setting and in discord other have to turn me up too, but I never have issues with people understanding me. for the price, id choose nothing else

EDIT

My last pair lasted 8-10 years, this new version broke after 11 months! NEVER buying Logitech’s ever again.

This is a really great brand known for high quality sound and durability. I got this for my gamer son and he absolutely loves it. I don’t hear any of his gaming and he doesn’t hear me yelling at him to get off the computer either. 😂 So I am taking that as a win as far as the headphones are concerned. The sound quality is great according to him and I am very happy with the purchase. Would totally buy again if needed!

Very good quality for the price!
This is a good product and from writing this I have only used it for about 2 months.
Pros
Feels good for my big head
Nice and flexible mic stem
Wraps around my ears perfectly
Sound quality good

Cons
About a week in use the right side became squeaky, could be on my part but very noticeable
The wire itself doesn’t feel like the durable one, it feels like the soft rubber that can rip easily if it was clipped.
