Recently, we often tell you about wireless headsets designed for communication in video conferencing, games, etc. However, for the most part, it was fairly simple and inexpensive wireless gaming headset Logitech G930. But today everything is different: we came upon an order of magnitude more expensive headset those of which you are accustomed to reading. And an order of magnitude in the truest sense – it costs about $ 250.
This wireless gaming headset Logitech G930, designed, as you might guess, for gamers. Let’s see, what did ask for so much money.
PACKAGING EQUIPMENT
The packaging device is the quite heavy cardboard box, made in the traditional colors of Logitech. Part of the box is open, and through the transparent plastic, you can see half of the headset. It looks pretty nice.
Inside, in addition to direct headset can detect USB-receiver, which has a size of an ordinary stick, cable for charging the built-in headset battery, user manual and CD with software. Cable realized quite interesting: it can be wound on a rack that resembles a hockey puck. It also has a USB-connector and to which you can connect the receiver.
EXTERIOR
Let us turn to the exterior wireless gaming headset Logitech G930. The headset is very, very large, the size of largely closed headphones. The bowls have an interesting shape, with something resembling an inverted trapezoid.
On the inside, there are large soft ear cushions, under which the insert is made of red plastic, and only settled deeper dynamics. This solution is very convenient: the ear cups fully cover the ears, and are in the depths of speakers do not press on the edge of the ears, as it often happens. Plus a cup can be tilted relative to the horizontal and rotated about a vertical axis, which also affects the location of the headset comfort on the head.
Headband plastic, but on the inside is the soft cover, softening the pressure on the head. Bowls are attached to the headband with, which is big enough departure retractable belts in stainless steel. By the way, the manufacturer declares that the hinge cups made of aluminum alloy aircraft class.
On the outside of the cup left are the controls. Three customizable buttons profiles, we have encountered in other Logitech gaming devices. Below are a rotary volume control and microphone mute button. On the side, we find the power button and the sliding key device which is responsible for switching the surround mode. However, it only works after installing the software, but about it later.
Next to the power key light is green, a similar indicator is located on the bottom of the bowl next to the micro-USB-connector, designed for charging the batteries. As you guessed, it signals the charge level.
Another red indicator located on the edge of the microphone – it signals that the microphone is muted. By the way, the microphone is attached, as expected, to the left cup. No foam pad on it there is only a thin mesh. By the way, it rises to the headband microphone is turned off.
In terms of ergonomics and usability of any claims to the headset is not – on the head sits perfectly, all the buttons and knobs is convenient to use.
SOFTWARE
Briefly on the corporate software. In principle, the headset is able to work properly without it, but many of the functions are not available. Making the program is similar to that of other G-Series software. In the box, you can adjust the volume, microphone sensitivity, to enable or disable the sound, adjust the bass and treble. There is more solid and EQ, accessible via the corresponding button.
Below is the setting area G-keys that can be assigned to different functions. Right at the top find the settings change the vote, which will hear your interlocutors. And they can hear the voice of the android, a troll, alien, etc.
Below there is a mixer for surround sound.
In addition, the utility window displays the charge level of the batteries built and the approximate time.
Of course, there is a built-in help, by the way, is quite sensible.
THE PAPER
Despite the fact that the headset is designed primarily for games, I want to first talk about the quality of the sound as a whole, especially since the headphone cups are hidden speakers with a diameter of 40 mm neodymium magnet and coil diameter of 15 mm.
In general, the sound is very high quality, but it is interesting that the mids a bit overwhelmed, resulting in many of the vocals is not enough depth. This, basically, is unusual for headsets in which region of the human voice, on the contrary, usually underlined. But the high frequencies are very bright and sometimes even seem intrusive. All corrected equalizer. The bass is also quite deep, which is not surprising when the speakers of this size. But a certain blockage MF can be explained by the fact that this situation is typical for many domestic headphones, such as the character of sounding like the majority of users.
All the tools are equally good wireless gaming headset Logitech G930 like music: you can not say that here it is possible to listen to, but it’s better not. The depth of the sound is also pretty good. 7.1 surround option, implemented by software, as is usual in such cases, there is an option for the most part.
What else is happy, so is isolation from outside noise, and it is good in both directions: you can not hear others, others do not are aware of your musical tastes.
The microphone of the wireless gaming headset Logitech G930 works perfectly, no complaints there, and can not be. voice change function fun, and maybe someone will use it actively.
Additional options also work correctly. Signal quality is not satisfactory, within the apartment the sound is played without any problems.
CONCLUSIONS
To summarize. The wireless gaming headset Logitech G930 was very cool: comfortable, ergonomic, functional, and the sound quality is quite decent. Of course, wired headphones for $ 250 will sound much better, but the wireless headsets that can compete with wireless gaming headset Logitech G930 both in sound quality and usability, we have not ever met.
By the way, despite the purpose of the game, the considered headset can easily be used for other purposes: included among movie nights on the computer, we lay down on the sofa and watch. And the wires do not interfere, and the surrounding pleased because you can not hear. Well, or just to move through the apartment and listen to music without annoying the home, which may well not share your musical tastes. In general, surely everyone can find the headset considered the worthy application.
