Taking Your PVP To The Next Level (Budget) - Logitech G335

- Logitech G335 gaming headset review. These have massive bang for your buck coming in at $69 doing nearly everything right. I was extremely surprised at the build quality, satisfying volume wheel, comfort, flip-to-mute mic that blends in, and great cable. Sound quality was also surprisingly good but is very targeted for those who enjoy treble focused sound signatures such as those found on the Sennheiser 598. These certainly should be on the list to check out if you are in need for a new gaming headset.
This headset will work for anything that has a 3.5 mm aux port. Such as the PS5/Xbox Controller, PC, Laptop, Nintendo Switch, some cell phones, etc.

Wow, I've been watching reviews of this headset all day and this is the best review that i've ever seen
I appreciate you taking the time to let me know! That means a lot.
honestly this is the best headset review i have seen so far
I appreciate the words of encouragement. It's an ongoing goal to try and have some of the best reviews on UA-cam.
@@ThomasMuehler very throughreview!1
You're very kind. I appreciate the encouragement! @@hannahanderson4305
Hey, great job with this review, even two years later. All clear, according to this description, it's exactly what I needed, thanks!
Thanks for the encouraging words!
Thanks for using the headset for this review, we can hear the mic all the way through your video ! Thank you ! Out of the 5 / 7 headset mics i've been looking at this one sounds the best, if it had a little bit more bass to it it would be perfect.
Happy to try and help. Definitely find this to be one of the better ones that I've tried.
Just bought the white version for £25 off Amazon, cant wait for them to arrive. Love how the mic can be flipped away, so its easier to store away and not distracting if you're not using the mic.
That's awesome, I'm excited for you! I do love getting it out of the way so it isn't distracting (and I think it looks more aesthetically pleasing as well). Would love to hear your thoughts on it when it comes in and you try it out.
@@ThomasMuehler The micc sounds clear, not a lot of range but no poppin so that's good. How is the loudness? I find a lot of mics are anemic and hard to hear over discord.
@@hannahanderson4305 Popping usually occurs due to peaking. If you are unaware of that term it is when the gain is too loud so you go over the threshold for the mic. Or some kind of interference or connection issue.
As for loudness. Honestly, I can't give a good review on it. As I use a dedicated microphone when I'm gaming and haven't used a headset microphone for a long time. But usually, I find that to be a "user error" of not having the correct gain setting on the PC (both in windows settings, program settings, and if applicable software) along with how loud/soft the person is talking, along with position of the microphone. As most people just don't have education with microphones so aren't doing things correctly which can vastly sway results. Such as not talking at a normal consistent tone, not having a consistent (and correct position), along with correct settings as mentioned. Plus depending on voice timbre and your own hearing and the headsets strength/weaknesses in that tone it can make people more or less loud. For example, people with deeper voices are harder to hear then people with higher voices.
With that said, anemic tones are also pretty common with headset mics. As they tend to be more treble based. Which makes peoples voices sound thin/lacking since they don't have the normal treble and bass presence. This too varies wildly with peoples natural tone of voice. I'm lucky where I just have a voice that in general sounds good on most microphones (along with training to have it setup correctly). But I would say yes, this is still anemic sounding (compared to a better microphone). And hearing in Discord is going to relate to the things above along with how good/bad your teammates are at the following. For example I have one friend who has his microphone far away (dedicated microphone) along with varying how loud he is speaking a lot (from quiet to normal) along with mumbling. And trying to get his volume correct in game is a nightmare. As find the goldy-locks range is nearly impossible because it changes so much.
I kind of went off into a rabbit hole there... If I didn't answer your question please let me know.
Damn!! How beautifully u have reviewed this product, I'm surprised.
I'm glad you enjoyed the review! Appreciate the kind words.
Yes. I love mint and I actually wrapped my car in that colour.
That said, I bought a pair of these as a birthday gift for my best friend. Thank you for the review 💛
Well people certainly won't miss you when you pull up. lol. But seriously, I'd imagine that looks pretty sweet.
And I hope your friend enjoys the new headset! You're a good friend.
this review was fantastic. i value comfort alot since i sometimes wear my headphones for up to 12 hours a day :D. my g430 is slowly breaking apart so i´m probably gonna get the g335 soon
I'm glad you enjoyed the review. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the G335 once you get them in and try them out.
thank you for making this review video, you gave an amazingly detailed description on this headset
I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for letting me know I'm doing something right. It really does help me bring you better content.
Hello! Great review! I would love to see a similar review for the upcoming logitech g435, since I'm trying to decide between those and the g335. What I've seen from other reviews, the g 435 seem to have a rather bad microphone. I don't want anything worse than what the g335 sounds like here so a video just like this on the g435 would help me a lot. I haven't seen any comparisons between the two yet, which is most likely because the g435 is not even out yet. I'm trying to decide wether it's worth waiting on them, so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
I can't make any guarantee's but I'll definitely think about it!
Great detailed review, i like that you comment on the music quality
I try my best to get audio quality a fair assessment so you know what to expect before buying. As that is the main thing I look for when listening to a headset/headphone review. It's hard to get correct.
I love the mint color and its one of the reasons I'm buying this headset!
You know, I've lit a fire that I cannot contain. The amount of people that like Mint has been humbling. It may even be growing on me. lol
New subscriber here. Loved this review. Didnt wanna break the bank on a gaming headset since 90 percent of gaming headsets arent for music. I already have bang and olufsons but i wanted a more game focused headset. Thanks for this
Welcome to the family Arnold, I'm very happy you are here. Thanks for the encouraging words and I'm glad I could be of assistance. Looks like you are all set now. Got your music and gaming covered! Excited for you.
Hi, great review! I have just bought both the g335 and g733 and they are both so good i cannot decide which i like best! To be honest the g733 with the logitech ghub is great as I would of liked the G335 with some more bass so on that note i am leaning towards more the g733. I think there are pros and cons between wired and wireless with the wireless obviously allowing me to use the headset with other devices / consoles but the extra bass from ghub I am really liking. In your video you mentioned how the g335 is technically capabale of surround sound - could you explain this a little more? Would I just need to download some 3rd party surround software and that would work with the G335?
I appreciate the run down between the two headsets! Very helpful. It is frustrating that the G335 doesn't come up in the Logitech Software.
So any headset is capable of surround sound. As all the surround sound these days is Virtual Surround Sound done through software and two pairs of drivers (stereo) which all headsets are. So, as long as you have the software that can enable surround sound and a headset that can be "seen" by said software you can get surround sound. One example of this would be Windows Sonic or Dolby Atmos for Windows which you can activate under your sound settings for that particular headset.
So, if I've got a 3.5 mm headset plugged into my PC and under sound settings and it says like "RealTek Headset" (that's not the name I'm completely blanking right now) and you go into the properties for that sound device and then its the last tab (forgot what it's called) you can select Windows Sonic or if you buy it Dolby Atmos and you'd be getting surround sound for that headset. As long as the game/movie/thing you're listening to supports it. As you've got to remember it's a chain and without everything in that chain supporting it, it won't work.
I'm not sure if I explained that very well. Does that make sense?
@@ThomasMuehler thanks! makes absolute sense to me! I have decided to go with the wired. Other option for more bass could be to buy some desktop speakers with a bass dial and headphone port; i know logitech do some very decent ones at a reasonable price
@@markk1720 Sounds like a good plan!
@@markk1720 yeah I just got the this 335 for Christmas and I can tell the bass is already way better than my Razor Kraken, but do u know how to fix the constant buzzing sound that’s in the background when I mute or when I’m not talking?
i had g733 but i had to sell it cuz it gives me headache ( as i wear glasses )
but now i regret selling it and wanna get a new one but stuck with a specific budget which is g335 budget
but im worried of the mic sound quality
what do u think and is there a big diff between 'em?
This review is so good! I went and bought the headset,
the mic quality is outstanding for a headset
I was surprised too.
As a owner of this headset I’ve never had a headset like this especially at this price I don’t even feel it’s on my head in game it aslo helped in game
That's awesome! I'm glad you are enjoying it. Totally agree on the comfort/lightweightness. They nailed that aspect. What game(s) have you found it benefited the most in?
The $9.99 for the mic covers isn't bad because it comes with 5 covers :)
I did not know that. Thanks for correction and letting me know. I retract my statement.
@@ThomasMuehler You're welcome!!
I wasn't as happy with them anymore once you mentioned the sound info, but you made me wanna keep watching regardless haha
Well I deeply appreciate you watching the whole thing. Definitely helps me out a lot even if it isn't the product for you. I'd suggest looking into the Corsair HS80 WIRED. I will be reviewing that here soon and it is simply the best gaming headset I've ever tried. I like it a lot.
Super awesome helpful review! Thank you so much!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know!
Just ordered a pair! Also, if you’re still reading comments how are they holding up after all this time? ESPECIALLY that mic mute switch, my Astro A10s I had for almost 3 years finally broke on me and I believe that’s what it broken.
Super good review though, and I’m excited for mine to arrive today!!
I wish I could give you a better answer. But since I have so many headsets I don't use this one regularly as I have better ones. I also don't use the microphone on a headset as I have external ones. I've only had one person say that theirs broke and he hasn't gotten back to me quite yet on what broke on it. I would imagine that this place this is most likely to break is as you say the mute switch. But imagine as long as you aren't being careless it should last awhile. Sorry I couldn't provide better information here.
Also, I'm excited for you as well! I would love to hear your thoughts on it once you try them out. The good and the bad.
Hey there,can you provide your opinion if youre free and around?
Sure! For the price, the headset is very solid. The mic is honestly the only issue I’ve seen, but you’re also paying less than a lot of other headsets.
Audio id give a 8/10
Mic 6/10
Comfort 9/10 I don’t think I’ve had one problem except the fact that I wear glasses, sometimes they’ll pinch my head, usually just have to adjust the headset.
The only issue I’ve seen with the Mic, and this could just be me being a bit picky, is when you mute, it makes this horrid clunking sound, and you sound a bit weird going through it to other people (really not noticeable according to my friend as of an hour ago, I’m just picky.) other than that, Microphone picks up voice very well!
Lastly, I got them the day I sent that message, and TODAY (1 hour ago from this comment) I plugged them in and tested them, still work like they’re brand new!
Overall: Definitely worth the price you pay for them, probably a 8/10
@Jershey “VPN” Squirts Sub 2 MacaulyWilson thank you so much !
Just got mine two days ago after searching about them for like 3 months
Im so satisfied with them (theyre my first headset ).
Thank you for your feedback again much appreciated.
This was a very helpful review! What is the internal height/width/depth of the earcup? These seem to almost perfectly fit what I'm looking for, but you mentioned the earcups were on the small size, and I'm usually an over ear kind of person. I'd say my ears are probably rather average in size, but I really have no idea.
Depth is just shy of an inch. 1.75 W x 3.75 H inches. I said that super weird. But I don't feel like retyping it. lol
@@ThomasMuehler lol no problem, thanks!
I apologise if you've said this in the video, I may have not heard, but is the microphone used in this video from the headset? If so it sounds great! I'm thinking of ordering these soon so I can't wait.
Yes, I used the headsets microphone for the review.
Can u please answer before i buy them in an hour: Do they have crosstalk/echo, can other players in the voicechat hear my music playing in the backround?
Not that I’ve noticed. But that seems to vary from individual to individual. I’ve never had that problem with ANY headset I’ve ever owned. Where I know other people that it seems like it is the case for EVERY headset they have ever owned.
@@ThomasMuehler just returned the Artics 3... Got a new pair... The problem is still there... I returned them for the second time and just bought G432. The reason being i saw no forums about the echo on them, while as a couple of people complained about the G335 ones.
@@nixon275 I’d love to hear if you have problems with them like you did with the Artis 3.
would u get these or the RAZER Blackshark V2? kinda deciding on what other options besides razer v2 i could get for around 100$
As I mentioned in my previous comment. I like these better than the Blackshark V2 just because I find these to be better at PVP as they are treble focused. But with that the mids/bass sound a bit anemic (soft) so gunshots and explosions and stuff don't pack as big of a punch. And is a sound that you need to acclimate too over just enjoy right when you put them on. Where the Blackshark has a tuning that is very pleasing right away. But as you get more critical the sound starts to decay a bit. Where I'd say with these I enjoy the sound more as I get more critical with them but don't have a balanced sound.
So, what I'm saying is if you want to just enjoy shows, music, single player gaming, multiplayer gaming (in a causal non-competitive way) then the BlackShark V2 as the sound is tuned for the masses.
If you are wanting a headset to be competitive (hear footsteps, reloads) and hear every detail (albeit not always in a pleasing way) the G335 is your guy. But it isn't as good for music, TV, or single player games where you just want to enjoy the sound.
Are the memory foams detachable? Cleanable? I live in a tropical country so i would probably sweat in those 😅🔥
Yes, they are detachable. I'm sure you could wash them by hand or in the washer but I wouldn't put them in a dryer. I don't know if they have replacement pads or not. But if they don't offer official ones you may be able to find them on Amazon from a third party.
Do you think it is better than the g733? And I think this is the best review i has seen on UA-cam keep up the amazing work. And do they work on ps4 because I just read ps5/xbox in the description?
Hmm. How to answer.
1. I haven't tried the G733 so I don't know how they compare.
2. With that said I can make some assumptions. Usually products higher in number are "better". So the G335 is the "lowest end" and the G733 is near their "top end". But with headphones being what they are now days a lot of times the drivers inside the headphones (inside a certain series) are the same or very similar. Leading to very similar sound. and the more expensive you get the more features you "unlock" such better build quality, more adjustments for comfort, better microphone, going wireless, adding "7.1 surround sound", and other features that you may or may not use.
3. I did very quick research on the G733 specs vs the G335. It looks the G733 have improved drivers in them (which may give you better audio quality), are wireless vs wired, have rgb vs none, have a detachable mic vs hardwired. So, depending on your definition of "better". Yes, the G733 will be a better headset. But I wouldn't imagine the sound quality (which is what I base a good/bad headset on) will be all that dramatically different. If that is what you are focusing on I don't know if the leap in price would yield much benefit. But the other features would help justify that cost. Audio is also so subjective which is why I'm giving you the long answer.
4. If you can afford it sometimes what I like to do is buy both and then compare them and keep the one I like more. So, if I bought the G335 and the G733 and was focusing on sound quality only and they were close to each other I'd return the G733 as the increase in price isn't worth it. You get the idea.
As for do they work on PS4? Yes. They have a 3.5 mm aux cable. Which means anything with a 3.5 mm aux port will work with these. So, you'd plug them into your PS4 controller.
Hopefully I answered your question. If I didn't or you have more just let me know.
Great and thorough review ! Just 1 more question: Does the earcups make pressure on the ears?
I'm not sure if I fully understand the question. Do you mean are the earcups shallow so your ears rest against the driver? Or how strong is the clamping force? Or is the clamping force even on your ears.
1. Not very shallow. Not super spacious either. But an inbetween. If you have large ears, or ears that stick out a lot, then you may rub against the driver. If you've got more "normal" size ears I don't see you having a problem. There is a lot of padding (compared to other headsets) between the driver and your ears too if you do end up resting against it.
2. Clamping force in my opinion is just right. Perfect.
3. Clamping force is extremely even. Padding gives enough to be comfortable but stiff enough to not comply give in.
for the sound you can take the cushions off and take off the cushion inside if your ears arent touching the speakers, but if they are then its better you leave them on. you can gently take the cushion off and take the smaller cushion in the middle off and put the outer cushion on and it should be fixed
I'm confused to at what you are alluding too?
@@ThomasMuehler
Basically
What he meant was
There is a piece of cloth underneath the cushions of the headset , he is telling you to remove that piece of cloth because it makes the sound muffled , if you try doing this update me if the sound quality changes please
@@SexySkills3333 You are correct and I'm an idiot for not connecting that. lol. Thanks for the assist.
I usually don't do stuff like that as when I have it tends to make sound worse instead of better. I had a flood in my basement a while back and a bunch of stuff got misplaced. These headphones being one of them so I have no idea where they are. I'm far to lazy to go searching for them to test this. So, I can't tell you if they help or not. My apologies. But if I randomly find them and test them I'll get back to you.
@@ThomasMuehler any headset you recommend for hearing footsteps and knowing where enemies are? From 50 to 90 dollars
@@SexySkills3333 I don't have a lot of experience with "budget headphones". As I'm a moron and tend to prefer to spend a stupid amount on the more expensive ones ($250+). So of the ones that I've tried I thought these (Logitech G335) were good for competitive games. I think the Corsair HS80 Wired are probably my favorite "budget" headset. As that microphone is the best I've ever heard on a headset. Also, found for competitive and all around to have good sound. Recently, been trying out the HyperX Cloud III and have been enjoying them a lot. I am still early in the testing. I think directionally, they do a good job as I am constantly surprised at just how easily I know someones location. However, the soundstage is very small so me knowing someone is there tends to be because they surprised me or are super close. Last, hearing is so subjective/personal that something that works well for me might not work the best for you. But I'd do research on those three and see what others have to say. Probably would do HS80 Wired, HyperX Cloud 3, Logitech G335 in my rankings. And I think the HyperX and HS80 Wired are both $99 which I know is above your budget. But is close.
Was going for Cooler Master mh751 because of the mic clarity but this one is on sale for $38 in my country.
Had to choose this one for savings.
Can't complain about that price. How are you liking/disliking the G335?
Excellent review 😮
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know :)
hey just a quick question, if you had to choose between the g335 and the blackshark v2 x, which one would u get?
Great question.
Personally, I like the G335 better. As I think it is more comfortable, has a better microphone, and prefer the sound signature. I also prefer the look.
However, I'd probably recommend the Blackshark V2 X for most people. As the sound signature is more in line for your "average person".
I do have a review for the Blackshark V2 X if you haven't already seen it I recommend checking out.
But mainly, the G335 has a "treble" focused sound. Meaning that the higher frequencies are going to be more present and the bass is going to be reduced. This allows you to hear a lot of nuances when gaming (such as reloads and footsteps) but makes explosions and gunshots not feel as impactful. I also found it has better imaging and directional sound. Along with sounds being a bit more accurate.
The Blackshark V2 X is more bass focused. Meaning that gunshots and explosions sound better. Voices also sound a bit more realistic. But I had a hard time hearing reloads and footsteps. Directional sound and imaging were alright. With the bass focus sounds weren't as clear and could come across as muddy. Which is inherent of that type of sound profile.
I'd classify the G335 as a "competitive" headset. As it will allow you to perform better in competitive games by giving you sound queues but may not sound as great for single player games or media. And will come across as kind of "muted" or lacking color or fun. I prefer this sound signature personally. Where the V2 X is not a competitive headset but a "entertainment" headset. Meaning that sound is going to be more colored and fun (which most people classify as being a better sound even though you are hearing less things as the bass can mask things) but not as sterile/accurate for competitive gaming. Hopefully that makes sense.
So, in the end it really comes down to which sound profile you prefer.
@@ThomasMuehler it would be mainly for fps games, such as cod, battlefield, valorant
@@gabysilva4850 I think the G335 is the best choice for you then. But the flat/treble sound does take a little bit of getting used to. So if you get them give it a week to get used to the sound before returning. As I think at first you may not like the sound but I found that changed over time for me. If you still hate it after that then return it and try the Blackshark V2 X.
@@ThomasMuehler thank you!! I appreciate ur quick response
@@gabysilva4850 If you remember/have time. I would love to hear which one you picked up and your thoughts on it. Good or bad.
How is the mic quality when you use it on the playstation? does it sound the same as your voice in this video? great review btw
Since I wasn't doing anything special on my PC (all stock settings). I would imagine it would sound the same.
Great review! I've got 2 questions thought. I don't know if you've specified and I wasn't paying attention but do they have surround sound? 5.1/7.1? And how does the mic sound so good in your review? I've watched 2 more reviews for the same headset and the mic wasn't so good, but still your review answered most of my questions.
They do NOT come with 5.1/7.1. However, they do support it as technically this is done by software so any headset is compatible. If that makes sense.
As for the mic. I don't know. I think the tone of my voice just does well for most microphones. As I didn't do any post processing or anything. Just raw recording.
So they don't have their own software but they are compatible with other?
@@phoenix2335 So, if you've got it plugged into your PS5 via controller I believe it will be able to use whatever the PS5's surround is. For windows if you're plugged in you can use Windows Sonic or Dolby Atmos. So, if it's like that then it will work. If that makes sense.
@@ThomasMuehler That does make sense. Thank you a lot. Honestly I have no more doubts about buying them or not. In my opinion they are worth buying according to your review of course.
@@phoenix2335 Hopefully I don't lead you astray and you end up liking them. I'd love to hear your thoughts on them if you pick them up.
perfect video! but I have a question!!
Which one should I buy for competitive gaming use? G335 or Razer Blackshark V2 X??
Personally, I find the G335 to be a better pick for competitive games. As I got better directional audio cues from it. Also, it has more of a neutral sound stage that prioritizes highs which allows you to hear reloads and footsteps better. However, found that due to that it can be a bit "boring" sounding.
Whereas the Blackshark V2 X was better for immersion at the cost of hearing the nuance of sound and having a competitive edge. In general I wasn't a fan of the Blackshark sound as I felt it prioritized bass a bit too much at the cost of everything else.
Personally, I would choose the G335 everytime over the Blackshark as I think it is a better headset in general wholistically.
@@ThomasMuehler Thanks for replying! I find it hard to choose between these two because of the razer virtual 7.1 surround sound system!
That's why it's a bit hard to choose for me.
And personally, I think if i go with razer, I paid just for the branding and Logitech is much more reliable in matter of time!
What do you think? Should I choose razer for the virtual 7.1 surrounding system or not?
@@arashheidari8112 Razer the Logitech are two of the top brands in gaming peripherals and you’re likely paying a premium for either one. Both are expensive and I wouldn't say one is more reliable than the other. Personally, as of late I think Razer has been making more bangers across the board than Logitech (but both have certainly had their misses). But find that Logitech's recent fare has been more average, as they have been going off their previous excellent products instead of making new ones. Regarding these two products I think the Logitech is better than the Razer (comfort, build quality, look, microphone, sound) especially for competitive gaming.
As for 7.1 Virtual Surround. All headsets are capable of that as it is software based not hardware based. Which means any headset can take advantage of it. But sometimes a brand will put their surround sound software behind a paywall. I'm not sure if Razer's is or not.
Going a bit more in-depth about virtual surround sound. You could argue that Razer’s drivers may be better tuned to work better with their virtual surround as they are all in-house. But I’m not sure how true that actually is. As games themselves are in charge of their own sound and the way they do that varies drastically. For the past several years surround sound for gaming has changed a lot and when you see it on a headset 99% of the time it is a marketing ploy to sell a headset over an actual benefit. Snakeoil as people say (which means that the product claims something that doesn’t necessarily translate well to real world use). As nearly EVERY game has their own virtual surround sound built into the game itself. Or is built to use stereo sound to still give accurate imaging. Or just has bad imaging anyways. I’m trying not to go too deep into this rabbit hole. Which makes third party software pointless and at times even counterproductive. As the game will take on that virtual surround (if applicable) better than third party software, and give you the best results.
To explain why it can be counterproductive, you need everything in the “chain” to work in order to get the best sound. So for example if you have Third party virtual surround sound active, the game also needs to have 7.1 surround sound, and it be set to that, in order for everything in that chain to work correctly. As that way it can match the correct sounds to the correct virtual speakers. However, if the game doesn’t have 7.1 surround sound (which a lot don’t as they use something called “binaural sound”), or if you don’t have that setting turned on in game. But you have 7.1 virtual on in third party software and then go into a game that only has stereo (2.1 sound) then it will spread those two channels incorrectly to the 7.1 channels making it so your audio quality (and more importantly directional audio cues) are all incorrect and less accurate than if you had that software off.
Which was a long way of me saying that no, I would not purchase the Razer headset just because it markets 7.1 virtual surround sound. As for the most part this is a gimmick over an actual feature.
Thank you so much for the review was so helpful vest reviewer ever
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting me know.
En qué lo conectas? Porque suena muy bien, que drivers de sonido tienes? Suena asombrosamente bien
How do you connect it? Because it sounds great, what sound drivers do you have? Sounds amazingly good
I connected it to my GoXLR Mini via 3.5 mm. Didn’t have anything turned on. Capture on Adobe Audition. Then exported on Adobe Premiere Pro. Stock drivers.
I was at best buy and i got these, but i wonder how do they compare to the arctis 3's which were my other pick. Should i return them and get the steel series
I'm not a fan of SteelSeries and think this is a better headset. But some people go hard and absolutely love SteelSeries. It's up to you. But I don't think the SteelSeries Arctis 3 would be better.
@@ThomasMuehler Thank You! I listened to your vid and since i am a really hardcore CS and Valorant player I thought i made the right decision. What led me to this question was the 7.1 sound system that the logitech does not offer but the Arctis 3's do. Does that make a significant difference in sound quality? Thank You in advance.
@@soul2574 No, most games these days have that built into the game already. I know CS does. I haven't really played Valorant though, so I don't know. So, you're getting it anyways. Technically, the Logitech G335 does support 7.1 surround sound as well since it is virtual surround sound. Which means you just need software to activate it. From my tests, I tend to have better directional audio with stereo sound over 7.1 as getting the 7.1 to work is a complicated process (because a lot of things have to line up correctly to work correctly which doesn't happen that often.)
I wouldn’t get the Arctis 3 if I were you, they don’t sound too good the mics is good tho.
hey! thanks for the detailed review. Btw can you recommend this headset to someone with larger size head? I like everything that I see about this headset but scared it wont fit me well.
Unless if you have a massive head I think you'll be just fine. I would say my head is large (but not extra large) and it fits me just fine with some room for adjustment. But if you've got a massive head you may run into issues. But I think you'll be fine. If you pick it up and I'm wrong please do let me know so I can tell others.
@@ThomasMuehler I don't think I have a massive head so that's encouraging to hear. Anyways, thanks for the advice and more power to your channel :)
i bought it but whenever i connect the mic wire in the port it start giving static noise in the headset
Depending on your setup it can cause a feedback loop. I'm not sure if a ground loop isolator supports microphones or not. But that sounds like your issue.
I bought this about 1 year ago and it's really good. I wanted to buy the mint color but they did not have it yet in my country. I want to buy the g733 but I don't have the money to buy it lol, I wonder if it is better or not. Can you please tell me which one is better, g733 or g335? The sound system is really good, the bass mostly and it also feels like it comes from outside. Sorry for late response btw, Thank You!!!
Unfortunately, I haven't tried the G733 so I can't say.
However, if you really enjoy the G335 then I wouldn't worry about it. Some things I've learned testing all these products.
1. There is always going to be something "better". But that doesn't always mean it is worth the "upgrade". As "better" and "upgrade" can sometimes be up to personal preferences and how you use the product.
2. There is not a single product that will work 10/10 for everything.
3. You can spend a bunch of money for nearly the same results.
4. You can chase the next best thing but it is a revolving door that will never be fully shut.
So, again if you are happy with what you have I wouldn't worry about it. I'd just enjoy it. Then when it breaks or you are over it you can start to look for the next thing. But that rabbit hole can be dangerous.
Hi, great review! When i get money I will buy this headseat. Good luck whit the chanel!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I would love to hear your thoughts on it once you try it out.
Also, welcome to the family Manuel. I'm very happy you are here.
@@ThomasMuehler thank you i will guarantee that i will say here my opinion of the headset... but it may take a while to get them 😅😜
@@manuelribeiro5415 I am very much looking forward to your input and opinions. And no worries on how much time goes by. I totally understand having to wait and save for something.
@@ThomasMuehler hello here I come to do my review 😂. So i got the headphones about three days ago and i've used them a bit since then. I found it super comfortable, the finish was very good for the price and the sound was pretty good too, although the bass was not the strongest there. My friends could hear me really well so the microphone it’s pretty good.
Overall opinion: 9/10 I didn't regret it and I found your review very real and adequate.
😁😁😁
@@manuelribeiro5415 Oh HECK YEAH DUDE! Thanks for actually remembering to come back and tell me your thoughts. I'm honored. Truly, it means the world. If I could heart your comment more than once I would.
I'm very happy you are enjoying them and aren't' regretting them. Happy they are comfortable, that sound is adequate if bass lite, and that the microphone is working well for you.
How does this perform against the Cooler Master MH630? Which one is better between the 2??
Great vid BTW :D
I wish I could give you a good answer. But unfortunately, I've never tried the Cooler Master MH630 so I can't say.
After some testing between the Razer Blackshark V2 X I've found that I prefer the G335 and it is the one I reach for. As I think it does everything better on every category. But the sound is treble focused. Which some may not like. But I find it gives me a huge competitive edge while still providing good audio and the bass has improved (or more accurately my expectation of it) the more I use it.
@@ThomasMuehler Thanks Man.
Is the music quality ok? I spend many hours listening to music (I'm not usually picky with these things since I currently have a 20$ headphones lol) so I'd like to know if you think they're actually good/ appreciate the sound for long periods of time listening to music
Audio is so subjective it is hard to adequately explain. The point I try to make when explaining sound is that each Headset/Headphone/earbud/etc. all have a "sound signature" that they shoot for. With modern electronics EVERYTHING these days sounds "good" or "solid". Or pretty much does. Then you can get to Solid/great pretty quickly by spending some money. You only hit Fantastic and Phenomenal after spending A TON of money.
So, with that said I think the G335 for the price sound fantastic as mentioned in the review. I personally don't mind the lack of bass because I even though it is slightly anemic it is accurate and still impactful. But according to the "average sound" from most "budget/cheap" earbuds/headphones it's going to sound terrible. As it is going to be treble/clear focused over bass/bloated focus. I personally prefer treble/clear and think these sound clear with excellent treble, locational audio, and imaging (able to take the different layers apart). Mids are solid/great. Bass is acceptable/good. But I'll take the trade for the other things for that.
So, to answer your question, I would have no problems listening to music on the G335 for long periods. As while I was writing this up I was listening to music on them and fully enjoyed myself and honestly think I'd have a hard time getting "better" sound from another headset without spending a lot more money. However, with them being treble focused you can build up some "fatigue" from the "harshness" of the treble which takes some getting used to/acclimating. Where you may need to take some breaks. Also, lower volume is your friend. I also think it will be a big bump compared to your $20 earbuds.
I used a lot of "quotes" as again with audio so much is subjective and what one finds true could be different for someone else. Especially, when comparing to where they are in their audio journey and their ears. I've tried a stupid amount of headsets and am extremely critical. The G335 fits more in the category of sound that I like and would consider the audio as "budget audiophile" as it is more balanced. Another example of what these sound like would be very similar to the Audio Technica ATH-M50x.
Sorry for the book. Just wanted to explain things. I'd love to hear what you decide on and your thoughts good or bad.
@@ThomasMuehler hey thanks for your answer! I think I'm finally gonna go with these, I'm pretty indecisive whit these type of things but I think they're looking pretty good and decent overall. Hopefully I get them in time for my birthday tho lol.
Thx for your help
@@BValk I totally get it. You want to make the right choice and that can be daunting. But I think you'll be pleased. If not you can usually return them (depending on where you get them). But I absolutely love getting something special like that for my Birthday so I hope you do too! Happy early birthday. I hope it's an epic one.
Again, I'd love to hear your thoughts if you get them good or bad.
where the hell are people finding this for 60$ ?????
im two years late to the party amd the cheapest i can get it for is 90$ most are selling it within the 100$ range
Hmmm... if you live in the US it is $60ish right now at both Amazon and Best Buy. Also, retails for $69.
Which means either
1. You don't live in the US and prices are destroying you.
or
2. You may be looking at the G535 (wireless) instead of the G335 (wired).
or
3. I have no idea.
@@ThomasMuehler yeah im in australia so that would seem to be the explanation. which is a little crazy, people are selling it for as much as $140.
thanks for the quick response!
@@chrisgeraghty9951 That is crazy. And definitely not worth the price at that point. Have you looked into the Corsair HS80 Wired? I know they are a bit more expensive ($99 in US) but have a lot better sound quality in my opinion. And the mic is insane. But I think is limited to PC.
Is the mic good?I mean does it do the job without annoying people?
I'm pretty sure I used the microphone through the entire review so you could tell for yourself.
has anyone else had problems with the mic not picking up sounds
I think a few people. But I'm not sure what they did.
it seems to be a windows thing it works on other devices the sensitivity on windows is just terrible for some reason@@ThomasMuehler
Sounds like it'll be alright to wear them with glasses. I've got so many that leaves me with my head dented after wearing them for more than an hour😭
Yeah, I think they would be just fine with glasses. I did wear some for a while without any issues.
Do you mind helping me out a bit? ^^ Sorry lol Im kinda new to this whole thing
So I went to BestBuy to buy a G335 Wired Headset, and the instructions on the top of the box were pretty clear, it basically just said that I could plug it in and that would be it, I can just play, but the thing is, when I plugged them in, my ASUS thing showed up, my dad said that was normal for new devices. But isnt the headset supposed to show up in my Sound settings under output? I thought it would have its name in it, but it wasnt in there, I dont think. Everything in there is just AMD and Realtek stuff, I dont know what I did lol. So I decided to pick the option "Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)", and I can now hear this video, but it echoes. And I dont think there is any music if there ever was in the first place. Any advice?
I don't know what you mean by your ASUS thing.
The headset name (G335) won't show up under your sound settings. In order to do that it would need to be a USB device that has firmware associated with it (so it can tell your computer it's name). But since the G335 is only using 3.5 mm it will instead be under whatever your soundcard name is. Which is the AMD and/or Realtek/Asus stuff. The particular name depends on your system.
I would have figured you would have chosen the correct option. But you shouldn't have any echoing. So there is something not setup right (software wise most likely over a defect). I'm wondering if under the microphone tab you accidently have it set to something causing a loop. Or some weird thing going on in your soundcard. I'd unplug and replug it back in and see if that fixes it. Also make sure it is fully plugged in. Also, restart your computer. You'd be surprised how many times those three things fix issues.
What are all the options you have under sound settings? Please give me the full names.
@@ThomasMuehler Oh, sorry! My dad figured it out, it works fine now besides a bit of buzzing/static noises but I dont really hear them in game ^^ ty for the advice though
@@Doodle_Bugg Good I'm glad you got it sorted.
how do i get a better mic sound cz i installed the logitech software and it doesn't even show up but the mic in discord isn't good any tips
It doesn't show up in Logitech software because it is 3.5 mm. If it was USB it would. You can download software that can tune EQ such as Steelseries software that may help improve the audio quality. But it may just not be a good microphone for your voice.
Hey! This is a superb review, made me get the headset myself. However, I do have a question about this. Is there any way to activate the 7.1 surround sound or does it activate by itself. I’m not sure if I’m trippin but I can only hear the sound rotate through the back of my head but not the front. Is this normal? Thanks!
So, this headset doesn't come with 7.1 surround sound. But you'd enable it through the Windows Sound Settings or through whatever device you have it plugged into. So, if your soundcard supports 7.1 you'd go into the sound settings and turn it on there. If you are on Xbox or PS you'd go into the sound settings there.
As for the sound rotation. I honestly don't know. I think part of that is definitely learned and varies a lot from person to person. Some games also do it better than others. So there are a lot of variables there. I think most people tend to prioritize their eyes from the front (so almost turn off their ears) so they lose the directional quality until they lose sight of their target and then go back to the ears while scanning with their eyes. I don't know if any of that is actually true. But that's what I've found from my experience and looking into the issue. And just psychology.
@@ThomasMuehler Ah I see, thank you so much! Forgot to mention that I activated the windows spatial sound, if that’s the name, before writing my first comment. Thanks for clarifying as I can’t find any other answers or guide books for this specific headset. Really appreciate it!
@@jjaesonn Yes, windows spatial sound is the same thing (just different maker/style) Kind of like how you can get a hamburger from multiple places. Same thing but different.
Also, that spatial sound may be the reason why you are losing the front tracking. It's actually best to turn off surround sound. As most games these days have their own (HRTF)(AKA another hamburger of surround sound) built it and when you are using another surround sound it can mix some things incorrectly giving you inferior sound. So, what I'm saying is my recommendation is to turn off surround sound as I tested this headset without surround sound and the imaging was excellent that way. And is the way most headsets are built to be used these days. But to each his own.
@@ThomasMuehler Perfect! I’ll definitely use this advice! Thanks a lot :D
@@jjaesonn I'd definitely test it out yourself and do your own research. But just from my own testing, research, and findings from other people that have tested it out have all kinda come down to the same opinion.
Hi, Logitech G hub softawe isn't compatible? I can't find a software to tunning the sound, help pls. Thanks!
Unfortunately, since this is plugged in via 3.5 mm it isn't seen by G Hub. So the only way to adjust the sound is to download an equalizer and apply it to your windows sound.
Does this headset and mic on it work on the Xbox series x?
Yes, it does. Just plug it into the controller.
Good video!
Should I buy g335 or astro a10 gen 2?
Personally, my A10 Gen 2 and a lot of people in my comment section have balancing issues (one earcup being louder than the other) added to have extremely small earcups makes me not want to choose that one. So, I'd probably pick the G335 as the winner. As it has great build quality, a solid microphone, is super comfortable. But the sound is more of a flat profile. Whereas, I think the sound (if it works right) is better on the Astro's overall. But comfort can be super hit or miss and I don't think the microphone is as good.
Thank you so much for the response and your opinion. I might choose the G335 then. The only thing that was holding me back is the non detachable audio cable, cause I'm looking for something durable and comfortable.
@@Luis-vy3iuWhile I agree that the Astro A10's removable cable is nice. I think the build quality and comfort are both going to be better on the G335 regardless.
I can't believe it, is a budget headset!
I'm glad you are enjoying them! Definitely think is one of their better products.
I’ll be getting the mint one. Love the color.
Mint... sorry I just threw up a little bit in my mouth... great choice *cough.
No, but seriously that's awesome. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it once you get it in and try it out.
@@ThomasMuehler hah! I like it, along with the matching g305. I have all of the other g305/g203 colors and want to complete the collection as well. Great review btw.
@@TheThirdeYe1337 Yeah, I really like how Logitech is offering multiple color variants and hope other companies follow suit. But that's really cool as a collection type of thing.
Are they good for the Xbox series S and the Xbox Party because I often had Problems with Xbox Party and dont know if its the Headset or the Party itself
Unfortunately, I don't own and Xbox so I never go into party chat. What problems are you having with party chat?
So a year later I just bought one is the flip to mute mic feature still a risk for breaking the headset if you use to much i hope that made sense
It made sense. I'm not someone who uses that feature a lot. So, I can't tell you from personal experience. I just know anything that you switch a lot is going to eventually wear down and break. So, yes, it is still a risk. But I'm not sure how long that will take to happen. I also think if you're being careful with it then it will last longer than if you were careless and forceful about it.
thomas, can you tell me if the mic of logitech g335 is better than the mic of redragon zeus x?
Unfortunately I cannot. As I've never heard or tried of the Reddragon Zeus X.
Hello sir, between this and Fantech Sonata MH90, which one would you recommend?
I can't be of much help as I've never tried the Fantech Sonata MH90. But personally, I'd lean Logitech just seeing as they are a bigger brand which increases the likelihood of it being a bit better. But that's is certainly NOT always the case. In the case of the G335 I certainly enjoy it and think it is good for the money. Also very comfortable.
Why does everyone keep calling this budget if it's over $100???
Gosh how expensive do things have to be before they are "normal price"
You bring up an interesting point. I suppose it's relative? I would say in the gaming sphere, according to my scale $50 - $100 would be "budget". $100 - $200 would be "normal/mid tier" And then $250+ would be high end/premium.
However, if we are looking at normal studio headphones. They tend to start around $150 (normal/budget), get good at the $300 - $700 price range (depending on sales) with the "halo/premium" tier being $1000 - $1500.
Being in a fortunate position where I have several "halo tiered" (~$300) headsets along with two studio headsets (~$500 - $600 that I got on sale for closer to $300) I see a big difference from the $100 or less headsets. Making me, perhaps incorrectly, see $100 as being "budget".
As I the $50 - $60 or cheaper in my opinion and based on my testing are borderline "tech waste". As they are so low quality (either in microphone, build quality, comfort, sound, features, or a mixture of all of the above) that they tend to essentially suck across the board. Making it not a good experience, which then leads you to either buying more "budget" by buying another headset (or several budget headsets over time) or eventually buying a more expensive headset making you spend more money in the long run than just buying a good product off the bat. Where if you would have gone for the mid tier ($150ish) or high tier ($250 - $300) you end up saving more money in the long run as you get a very good product that competes well with the competition for years to come making you not feel the need to upgrade. But that does have some fine print associated with it. Where if you play or use them regularly is worth the upgrade in money. And you still need to buy the right headset. As there are ton of expensive headsets that suck and are not worth the price. And vice versa, there are a lot of budget or more inexpensive headsets (comparatively) that perform way above their price point. Which is what makes the whole thing so freaking frustrating as a consumer as how are YOU (the consumer) supposed to know the differences. if you don't test a bunch of them? And that is where they get you.
So that is my two cents. Absolutely could have a bad take on that. I would love to hear your take on it all? Mind explaining what you think Budget or Normal Price means to you?
@@ThomasMuehlerthats a lot of information...
Personally after hearing it like that, it does make more sense.
My point of view personally is that I've never seen any reason to upgrade past $150 due unless you stream or record since the only difference that I've felt is the lifespan of the headset... The rest of it seems completely fine, and that's kinda why I don't see it as budget if it feels good anyway. The only thing that this headset is different from what I'm used to is the volume and mic system, it's different to having it on the cord.
the only thing I don't know about is the surround sound, I kinda thought all headphones/headsets had it, since you can hear sounds from all directions.
@@BlueFlame178 Sorry about that. I tend to ramble.
Without going too in-depth. More expensive headsets can have higher quality components that product better sound. Or have better build quality. Or have more features. Or a combination of all of the above. For me I'm big into the best sound possible and tend to be quite critical. But if that isn't the case I agree that the $150ish mark is probably the sweet spot for most people.
And absolutely, if the budget headset is fulfilling all your needs there is no reason to upgrade. I'm just someone who tends to always look at the horizon and go what if. Which is why I have a tech channel. lol.
As for surround sound. You're absolutely correct. All headsets/headphones support DIGITAL surround sound. Which is what 99% of headsets/headphones use. Again, trying not to go too much in-depth. Most games now have that built into their game. Making it more of a "marketing ploy". If you're wanting more information the term to look up would be "HRTF" and "differences between dolby atoms, dolby digital, windows sonic, and DTS." Essentially, different variants of HRTF that have differing results and tech and vary based on individuals ears.
@@ThomasMuehler alright I see now.
But with that last part/or in the video are you saying that this headset will have what other headset have where you can hear from different directions? Or will it not be included?
@@BlueFlame178 I'm not sure if I fully understand the question. If you could give me timestamp that would be helpful. As it's been a while since I made this video. So I don't remember exactly what I said.
But what I think you're asking is that does this have good directional sound AKA hear where sounds are coming from in different direction? Yes, these have good directional sound. Which is why I recommend them for PVP as I find that to be critical in those scenarios to help you stay competitive. As if you know where sounds are coming from you don't have to look around as much.
To expand a bit more on that, yes ALL headsets will have some sort of directionality to them. However, depending on multiple factors (closed/open, soundstage, imaging, quality of drivers, tuning, etc.) that directionality can be better or worse. In my opinion that is independent/separate from HRTF technology (Dolby Atmos, DTS, Windows Sonic, In-Game Surround). But how good/bad HRTF can be is also highly dependent on the media you are consuming (how good/bad the movie, game is mixed to provide good/bad directional sound). Making the ideal solution to get a headset that has good directionality (imaging) + play a game with good sound (including good surround/directional sound). As arguably you'll mostly be running into either not having a great headset with good directional sound or not having media with good directional sound. But when the two do meet up it is quite the experience.
Last, your ears/brain also contribute a bit to this. Where a headset that sounds awesome for me may not sound awesome to you. But that's getting super into the weeds. Which we are already quite into.
How's it withstanding after a year? seen some reviews saying that it has broken or malfunctioned after 3-4 months
Great question. Unfortunately, I've got other headsets that I prefer so I haven't used this one enough to give a good answer.
can i use the g335 with the xbox series s ? and how ?
It plugs in via 3.5 mm so yes, you would just plug it into your controller.
@@ThomasMuehler ok thanks ! and do u think that its good for consoles ? like playing forza horizon / battlefield / resident evil.......?
@@justverb I cover most of my thoughts in the video. I think it does best for competitive play over immersive play. As you can really tell where things are coming from and hear minute details. Which gives you a competitive edge whether that be single player or multiplayer. But With it being treble focused you don't get completely lost in the sound and it takes some getting used to.
Hey, quick question. I'm guessing this is using a 3.5mm analog connection? If so, it comes with a splitter, right?
Edit: I'm dumb, completely skipped over that part. Sorry about that.
All good Mobius. Glad you caught it. But yes, it only uses a 3.5 mm analog connection. Yes, it also comes with a splitter that I found to be pretty nice.

I kinda like the headset so far but to be sure does it get crosstalk btw ?. I ve bought a razer multiplatform wired black for nearly 100$ and very disappointed to me because of the crosstalk and unuseable with fan.
I use a separate microphone and I also don't keep my volume very loud when gaming so I haven't experienced any. But I'm not a good one to ask as I don't talk online too often. I also don't know what you mean by unusable with a fan?
@@ThomasMuehlerSorry when you don't understand cuz my native language is not english. It mean when I use a fan blowing wing to me, the mic catch the wing noise too and make my voice can't be heard. My old headset doesn't have that problem and it doesn't have crosstalk even when I max out the volume
@@vutranhoang6197 Most microphones will have difficulty blocking out a fan that is blowing directly at you. As it will need to have some type of noise cancelling to prevent that.
It will also depend on the polar pattern of the microphone. With Cardioid/super cardioid/ hyper cardioid being the best. As it will reject sounds coming from behind it. I'd recommend if the microphone is on the left side of your face to also put the fan on the left side (so it is blowing on the backside of the mic) as that will help reduce noise.
I haven't experienced cross talk in my headsets. I'm also not sure if crosstalk is due to headset as much as it is the device it is plugged into. As usually the device it is plugged into is having an issue over the headset itself. Can you try different headsets on whatever you have it plugged into and see if all of them have crosstalk? Also, I'd plug it into another source and see if it has crosstalk across the board or not. Last, you could get a ground loop isolator which may reduce/eliminate crosstalk from happening.
Hopefully, this translates well.
@@ThomasMuehler Tks for the advice but wing noise is not a big problem. I just want to know how to prevent crosstalk, i've been searching forum and advice from other ppl, but then only answer is: "Go buy a new headset". My first 100$ headset make me scare when preparing to buy a new one.
yo can someone help me rq, i wanna buy them for my ps4, do you hear your party on both sides L and R or just on one side like on those cheap headsets?
As mentioned in the last comment, I can hear chat on both sides (L and R).
Which would you recommend between these the , wired Logitech G pro or Nova 1 for PS5
I haven't tried either so I can't really give a good recommendation. With that said my thoughts:
I've heard good things about both, but more good things about the Nova 1. Also, currently use the Nova Pro and really enjoy it.
My experience with Logitech headsets have been meh in general. Where they aren't bad by any means, usually have a unique sound profile, so-so mic, and are very comfortable. But due to the basicness usually don't recommend them. As I think other brands do it better when it comes to headsets.
Therefore, my choice (assuming the reviews you have watched on the Nova 1 are good) that is what I would try first. If I didn't like it I would return it and try the other one.
I might actually get the mint lol... My PC case is mint so i have been looking for a mint colored headset
No! You're the unicorn. You have a mint colored PC?! I'm trying not to judge. It's just not working, and I'm judging HARD. lol

@@katiebuczko2460 Yeah, that's wild. Have you checked retailers to see if you can get it from them instead of directly from Logitech? I know you can order it from Best Buy.
I got these headphones a few days ago and have been a little disappointed with the volume. Even though I have the volume all the way up to 100%, it is too low, do you know how I can fix it?
I think that depends on what you are plugged into. As sometimes you can boost further. Like on the PS5 you have volume from the controller and also the headset. In Windows I think it is all tied into one. But sometimes you can get software that adds a boost. But volume isn't something that I usually have issues with so I haven't looked around a whole lot at solutions to make it louder.
There’s a foam covering it take off the ear cups
Is the mic flip part strong or very weak
It takes some good pressure to press past. So, not weak, I'd say more strong. Like it doesn't feel cheap. Or like it is going to break easily. But for the overall longevity of the joint I really don't know and as mentioned in the review would be the part that I would expect to break most often. So, I'd baby it.
Would you pick this over the Senzer sg500. I’m looking at either this or the g335 but would like to know which is better
I've never heard of the Senzer SG500. So, can't comment on that one. I enjoy the G335. But it really comes down to what kind of sound profile you want. If you want a treble focused headset that allows you to sound whore but isn't as enjoyable to just sit and listen to because of that.
@@ThomasMuehler appreciate the reply
@@arctrooper15ify Sorry I couldn't be much help. I would love to hear which one you decided to go with.

If my laptop only have 1 jack, will both mic and speaker use if I just plug it in or I need some adapter for it?
It is a 4 pole 3.5 mm aux cord meaning it will work for both. An adapter isn't needed. But it also comes with an adapter in case you have another pc that has two ports.
@@ThomasMuehler so I got mine but mic isn't working. When I go to sounds > recording, mic isn't there. How do I fix it?
@@Rei-gl9mv When I plug mine into my laptop it comes up with both. But it did come up with a pop up that asked me if it is a headset or headphones and I selected headset. Maybe if I selected headphones it would not allow me to use the mic. So, I'd make sure the 3.5 mm aux cord is fully plugged in and then whatever software your laptop came with for audio and see if you can enable it there. Otherwise I have no idea.
G335 vs blackshark v2 for footstep sounds which one ?
As mentioned in the previous comment. I think the Razer Blacksharks are better for IMMERSIVE gameplay. As the bass and mids are more substantial making it so sounds can be a bit more impactful and get you into the game. However, found the directional quality to be subpar. And the treble to be poor as the other frequencies dominate.
G335 is better for COMPETITIVE gaming as you can hear treble (reloads, footsteps, nuance that a dude is about to get you) better than the Blacksharks. However, the sound is a bit more neutral as the bass is very light making it so sounds can be a bit strange sounding at first. As you are lacking a lot of the bass and mid region.
hi i just saw review in rtings and basically g433 looks like also a great option.
any experience with that?@@ThomasMuehler
Hey bro , do you recomend this headset for gaming and and whether they will serve me well?
I recommend this for competitive gaming. But not single player gaming. As it is more tuned for competitive play over immersion. As mentioned in the video. It is comfortable. Has an okay mic. Good price. Good build quality. I think it is a solid headset. It's not amazing or groundbreaking. It won't blow your socks off. It won't win any awards. But it performs well and while it may not be the best pick it isn't a bad one if the sound profile (flat, more competitive focused) is your jam.
@@ThomasMuehler ok, thanks for the answer, and which do you think will serve me longer, do I want to not change headphones every 6 months? and does logitech have stronger sound in fps games? and yesul more comfortably?
@@TarikHamzic21 I'm not sure what other headset you are comparing this one with. Also, those are tough questions that aren't easily answered. But simplifying there isn't a objective reason why you would need to replace these after six months (due to them breaking or not being comfortable after that time). Sound is so subjective and depends on what exactly your preferences are and what you are comparing against and what price point. But with it being a competitive headset, yes shooters tend to be the bread and butter to give you an advantage. But that trade is for not as immersive audio quality in single games.
@@ThomasMuehler okey thanks for answer , its there better headset for gaming under 40-50 $ because its black friday or this one is best ?
@@TarikHamzic21 I honestly don't know. Which is not a good answer, sorry. I think the HyperX Cloud III are excellent and would be my go to. But I'm not sure how those are looking on sale. And in general I tend to go for more expensive headsets over cheaper ones as I just don't find them worth it (to me). So don't have a lot of experience at that price range.
As a person who has a Blue snowball I found this microphone 10x better then this current microphone and i am very impressed. My blue snowball has all the optimizations to make it sound as good as it can and personally I find this headset sounding better then my microphone.
Unfortunately, the Blue Snowball isn't a very good mic.
@@ThomasMuehler yeahhhh learned that out the hard way 🤧
@@zope8 That way teaches us the best. But is the most painful. Lol
I bought the G335 but I've been facing a little problem. When I'm on discord, my friends tell me they can hear a video I'm watching through my microfone. I've tried everything I found and nothing seems to work
Are you sure your 3.5 mm aux is plugged into the correct things either with a splitter or without depending on setup?
Also, are you sound settings correct in windows.
last, are you setting inside discord set to the correct microphone and not some sort of stream port?
@@ThomasMuehler Ty I've found the solution to the problem
@@guilherme9483 That’s fantastic news. Mind telling me what the solution was so I can help others with the same issue?
which software did you use for the mic ?
There is no software for this headset. I did have it plugged into my GoXLR Mini. But made sure that it was at stock settings.
yes a headset that doesnt dent my baldhead just bought the mint one for 40usd
bro, can the enemy's steps be heard from a long distance when playing pubg when using this headset?
I'm not sure from how far away. But I can definitely hear peoples footsteps easier on this headset then a lot of the others i've tried.
Is there a charging port or does it charge through the aux?
Unfortunately, it's not a wireless headset.
Mine has pretty bad audio leakage. To the point where my friends can hear themselves from my mic. Is there any fix?
Honestly, I'm not sure what causes audio leakage. I swear I've had someone say that with every headset that I've ever reviewed. I've never had that problem myself. I'm not sure if it is a defect or a user error. I wish I could give you a fix but I'm not sure what would cause the issue in the first place. What system are you using it on? And what do you have it plugged into?
@@ThomasMuehler I’m using it on the PS5 and just plugging it into the controller.
i really liked the mint one but not sure if it is the one i would buy
I am finding out that the Mint colorway is very popular... and I'm not sure how to feel about that. lol
I had gotten this as a gift from a loved one, we're very confused with this headset because when playing fortnite, I don't hear any of the footsteps till its already too late. My previous headset was a Logitech H390 and it picked up literally everything. Gave me every sound I needed. When playing SMITE, some abilities sound super softer and farther than other sounds. They throw me off just because I'm used to the H390 which gave me solid sounds. I want to love this headset, but I feel like it's possibly just user error and I'm not putting the correct settings on. The music I listen to sound FANTASTIC, but if its a movie, or a game, sounds are off. In movies, the music is very loud and obvious. Where as when the actors talk, they sound...Hollow? Far away? Its not on the same level as the music. I'm just lost and need a bit of guidance on if this is user error or just how the headphones sound. I loved your review on this and eased some of my worries on it. But this is the only issue I have right now.
I don't think that is user error. Moreso, that you just aren’t a fan of this headsets particular sound profile. With time you MAY acclimate to it. But that also may not be worth it. As to me, trying to force yourself to enjoy the sound of something tends to not really work.
To go a bit more in-depth. What I've learned from testing a ton of different headsets is the following:
1. Each headset tends to have a specific sound profile that the sound engineers come up with. When you are inside that sound profile the headset usually sounds great. When outside of that sound profile the headset can sound so-so or terrible.
2. The sound profile “range” can vary dramatically from headset to headset. On average higher end headphones have a larger range where lower end headphones have a small range. Or on the flip side may only sound “average” at everything never shining in anything.
3. Higher end headphones also tend to have more accurate sound. Where lower end headphones have less accurate sound with more “flavoring”.
4. To explain 3 more. Most lower end headphones/headsets put "flavor" to their sound. Making certain things sound enhanced. Bass tends to be the most common flavor. Another way of thinking of it is like a filter on a photo. Where more expensive headphones tend to try and be more accurate at reproducing sound (which is why they are more expensive due to higher quality materials and better engineering) like it would be like in real life (or more accurately to the recording that was done of said sound that is then put into a game).
5. These days most headphones have gotten to a point where they sound “fine” due to a chip inside it that does a bunch of computing to enhance sound. Which is pretty neat and actually works really well. This is why most Bluetooth headphones sound good. But sometimes manufacturers rely a bit to heavily on this and the headphones will still sound crappy. Or the audio engineers will prioritize one sound (treble, mids, bass) which will overbear the rest of the sounds and mask or not produce some sounds. Such as footsteps. So, in the case of this headset and the games you play the reason you may not be able to hear footsteps is because A. The tuning of the headset may not be tuned for them. B. Due to this it will either not “boost” that sound and/or be able to product it (based on the Video Game sound design). Or C. it could be getting masked by other sounds that are overbearing it. D. The design choice doesn’t fit your ears well reducing quality of sound.
6. Last, hearing is a highly subjective thing. As ear shape, noise trauma, past infections, current infections, etc. can affect the hearing. If you also use a certain headset for long periods, you also "acclimate" to that sound. So say a pistol gunshot will sound like "x". Therefore, you think that all pistol gunshots should always sound like "x". But then you switch to a new headset and that same pistol gunshot sounds different like "y". With time you may acclimate to now believing “y” is the correct sound so when you go back to “x” it may now sound wrong. So, this can go in both directions where "y" or “x” sounds better or worse. Arguably both "x" and "y" can be "accurate". But from your perspective one can sound "wrong".
7. Audiophiles tend to own multiple high-end pairs of headphones. That’s because even high-end headphones aren’t good for everything. So, they have multiple pairs (each with specific tunings that don’t overlap much) so when they are listening to a certain thing they can pair it up correctly for the best sound. Making it so if they are listening to Rap they may be using “Z” headphone and when listening to Pop may us “C”.
8. There are also “neutral” headphones where they don’t boost anything and try to remain as accurate to the source material as possible. Which means in gaming that if the sound engineers for that game don’t prioritize good sound location and/or footsteps that you will hear them as they intended which may not be good for competitive play. In otherwords if the games sound design mutes footsteps and you have a neutral headphone that footsteps will be very quiet. Whereas, if you have a headphone that boosts that particular frequency you may be able to hear footsteps even though the game designers don’t want that to happen. So often (as you mentioned with TV where music is louder than voices) what is happening is likely the headphones are boosting the music frequencies and muting the vocals which makes it sound bad. Or alternatively the sound engineers for that TV show could suck at their job and not make that balanced well.
9. These headphones tend to be TREBLE focused so higher end sounds will be boosted where mids are reduced and bass is dramatically reduced. I’d also say outside of a treble tuning they tend to be more “neutral” meaning you may (or may not) be getting more accurate sound out of these than your other ones. As there is less “coloring”. So I think you’re getting kind of a double whammy where the treble focus is going to mute a lot of sound frequencies on top of being semi-neutral which makes things sound kind of bland anyways as it takes away the “sparkle”.
@@ThomasMuehler Thank you so much for going out of your way to reply with all this information. Its really helpful to know that its not user error LOL I have only had this headset for a short time so it's possible I havent adjusted to it yet. I'll fiddle some more and see if it even itself out. Its severely different compared to my H390 which is usually your basic usb headset for working from home (Though I found it nice for gaming) But again, Thank you so much!
@@minxyjinx It is shocking that the H390 has better sound lol. But hey maybe Logitech just accidently knocked it out of the park or you just got super lucky where they boost the perfect frequencies for the games you play. As a $20 headset that isn't supposed to be for gaming shouldn't outperform this guy. But it can certainly happen. lol.
Best of luck with acclimating. If you end up not liking them and are looking for an alternative my current go to "budget headset" is the Corsair HS80 WIRED (as I haven't tried the wireless variant). And think that would give you more of the sound you are expecting.
@@ThomasMuehler Thank you so much for the recommendation! It's time to wait and see what happens!

I don't know why you'd have echo.
I just got those for christmas but my mic isnt working what shloud i do?
Depends on what you are using it on.
1. Make sure it is fully plugged in.
2. Depending on what you have it plugged in you may need to use the Y Splitter.
3. If you’re on a laptop sometimes you have to tell your pc the port is using a headset/microphone. Usually under like realtek something.
4. Try it on a different device to see if it works. Such as your phone (I’d it has a 3.5 mm port).
5. If none of that works then it may be defective.
are these better than the G432?
I haven't tried those so I dont' know.
Hello for gaming is this head set or Corsair void elite headset
I haven't tried the Corsair Void Elite so I couldn't tell you. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
as a war thunder player is it easy to know from where the engine sounds come from?
I wish I could give you better information. But I don't play that game so I don't know.
What I can tell you is that
1. This is a bass light headset. I expect engine noises to be more bass than anything else. The bass here is very accurate though (in the sense of you hear it, but you don't feel it). Which could be a positive.
2. I found the directional sound to be good. Which is why I label it as a competitive headset. So, assuming the lack of punchy audio isn't a deal breaker I do think you'd be able to hear where engine noises are coming from.
3. To elaborate a bit on the lack of punchy audio. Not really a negative. More a preference thing. Where certain headsets are more balanced or mixed in a way to highlight certain things. The sound from these is good but is tuned in a way that it falls a bit flat. Which again, bodes well for competitive where your main focus is performance. But not good for immersion or critical listening (for say music).
If you pick them up I'd love to hear your thoughts on what you think and if you agree with my findings or not. As I'm always looking to improve my recommendations to others.
@@ThomasMuehler thank you i just ordered one in black for 50 bucks
i really appreciate your reply
@@AmineGhaly I'm excited for you! I would love to hear your thoughts once it comes in.
im planning on buying this headphones, is it worth it? Im kinda worried about the sound being muffled or not that great is this true?
It has a treble focused sound. Meaning highs will be prioritized, then mids, then bass. So it will be very bass light. I find it to be great for competitive play but not so much for music, media, or single player games. Just because it being treble focused changes the sound to be more clinical over relaxed. But I wouldn't say it is muffled at all. Also, I wouldn't say it has bad sound either. Just treble focused which some people like and some people don't and due that may say it sounds bad.
@@ThomasMuehler Thanks a lot, i think imma buy this headset
@@arvindkr6228 I’d love to hear your thoughts on it when you get it in and try it out.
@@ThomasMuehler yeah definitely thanks a lot for this review it really helped my decision but i still think its kinda pricey
@@arvindkr6228 what do you think a good price would be?
Not sure if I'm keeping mine!.......they feel SO light and cheap, although work well....Maybe I'm just biased, my last headset was a cheap Corsair HS50, but Lots of metal construction, felt like a Tank even though they were cheap $50 headphones......these Logitechs are the Complete opposite, lightweight and plastic. I like the Denim style material on the Logitech Padding, it won't wear out like the Leather looking material on the Corsair padding, which burn down to nothing and starting flaking off....Granted they lasted me like 3 or 4 years.
I understand the hesitation. The plastic they are using here is actually really malleable making it a lot more sturdy than you might think. The lightness is also by design and often gives the impression that they are cheap (as we often equate something light to cheap. Which is why a lot of products actually put weights inside their products to trick consumers into thinking it is better built). With these in particular I don't think you'll break them unless something wild happens. At which point most other headsets would also break. If they do break I'd love to hear about it.
a headset that crashes in game? Razer.
From personal experience over loads of razer headsets, they crash in Valo, COD, CS, APEX, PUBG, Fortnite, Splitgate, Halo, LoL and Back 4 Blood.
ultimately, I think it was the voltage or something to do with some power output. Switched over to logitech and that fixed everything.
I don't think I've ever heard of a headset crashing a game. So, you've got me flabbergasted.
@@ThomasMuehler Oh it is so bad. so so so bad. I'd be in a clutch scenario then the headphones just disconnects, reconnects and lags the whole game. There were a COUPLE of times where I literally disconnected.
I fixed this by just not using any razer products and cleaned out my pc of anything razer. Nothing has happened ever since then.
Switched over to the G733 and have never been happier. Even switched over to the G Pro X Superlight. Am looking at the G335 to use with my Mac right now and your review is helping me with that decision.
@@EwanLim Hmm, sounds like there was a bad/corrupt driver install which would cause it to disconnect and then crash your system because it struggled to reboot. Likely stemming from Razer Synapse or just a bad driver in general. Did you have crashes if you didn't have Razer software installed? Asking just because I'm genuinely curious.
@@ThomasMuehler only when the Razer software is installed. I've done a COUPLE of clean re-installs and it happens consistently all the time. I've even upgraded the cpu and motherboard. Exact same issue every time.
I've narrowed it down to Razer Synapse. since Razer products without the program seems to be working fine, Mac or PC.
Raised the issue to Razer multiple times and once to the main big boss *ahem* during an interview (I used to work in news). Nothing changed and it has been years.
@@EwanLim Yeah, I've personally had some issues with Razer Synapse. I've also heard a lot of others have issues with Razer Synapse. But in the last year to year and and a half I've noticed that it's gotten a lot better and doesn't get in the way or crash or have a lot of the issues it previously had. So, I think they finally made improvements. But it stayed the same for years and I'm sure some people continue to have issues.
Also, it would have been interesting to see if the CEO actually did anything.
which one is better logitech g335 or razer blackshark v2 x for pvp game
For my ears and preferences the G335. As it is a more treble focused sound. Which in my opinion is best for competitive games. As bass tends to be overbearing which hides audio cues. As you usually have more bass and mids which can make things muddy and not separate sounds as well. With the G335 having being slightly anemic in bass it allows you to better ear footsteps, reloads, and other competitive audio cues. But also doesn't sound quite as impactful and immersive as a more bass heavy headset. I'd argue the G335 for the most part has bass and that bass is accurate. Just not thumpy or rumbling. I also found the directional sound to be more accurate and easier to differentiate with the G335 over the BlackShark.
Which ever one you choose I'd love to hear your opinions on why you chose that and your findings just out of personal curiosity along with that helping others with the same question.
@@ThomasMuehler thanks i will choose the g335 over blackshark

how do you use it and why does sounds come out of it and does only one ear works in it or I got a faulty G335 headset
You got a faulty headset. As it should just be plug and play. Also, sound should be coming out of both sides. The only thing I would recommend checking is that the 3.5 mm cord is fully plugged in. As sometimes that can also make it so only one side works.
@@ThomasMuehler Thanks for the reply man and does the sound come out of the headset than normal at higher volume or its just normal
@@thenoobsarena3470 I'm going to be honest your question completely disintegrated there at the end and I have no idea what you're asking.
Like, there is a volume rocker on the headset which allows you to control how loud the sound is which varies dramatically from being very quiet to being very loud. I tend to keep my stuff at around 25 - 75% depending on what I'm listening to. For example some UA-cam videos don't put their microphone at a correct level so it is very low, making me use 75%, where some other things I can get away with 25%. But I'm not sure that is what you're asking.
