G430 - Pros & Cons
02/11/2014
This review is from: Logitech G430 USB Connector Circumaural Surround Sound Gaming Headset
Pros:
Pros: Fits decently, a little snug on the ears and not as soft as some of my other ones. Has removable and washable ear pieces, that's nice. Adjustable (flexible) mic and can go up(physically move upwards out of mouth range) to cancel out some of your noise. Decent for a mid-grade headset. Nice blue color and they swivel so you can set them down flat on a surface.
Cons:
Cons: So for anyone using a RAZER device (black widow, naga, death adder, anything) it seems that there is a conflict with the Synapse 2.0 and the LGS software that Logitech is currently using. Read the forums and look for the posts, it's been a year and this issue STILL isn't fixed. I've only been posting to their forums for 1 day, but I'm going to continue to do this and see what happens and if they give me my feedback. I can say that this is basically just a 2 stereo headset without the 'digital 7 surround' software that is enabled with the LGS software, so basically no better than a $9.99 headset mic from Radio-Shack(no offense to them, stand up guys there). Razer is a decently large company and Logitech is a REALLY big company, so why it's taken over a year and still has not been fixed/addressed, I have no idea.
While some of you might think "Well Duke, just download older drivers, that should fix the problem!", sorry wrong. See the 8.40 drivers that everyone is talking about on the forums and websites for the G930(yes different headset) work great, because they are an older headset. When I tried to use this driver with the newer midgrade G430's, no worky. The headset is to new and the 8.40 LGS software doesn't detect it, leaving me out in the rain, with horrific sound quality.

Overall Review:
While I do think this is a decent product, and probably worth about $60-75, I and the community should expect that the software be viable and work arounds shouldn't take over a year to come for us.
The Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) is kind of your bread and butter to your mic/headset product lines....why you have not addressed this issue being incompatible with a pretty large gaming manufacturers peripherals, such as Razer, is beyond me. Please help us out here Logitech, we are patiently waiting...but will not wait for much longer....
