While we’re on the subject of connectivity, it’s worth pointing out that more expensive wireless headsets out there only offer wireless or Bluetooth connectivity, so I do applaud the G435 for offering both. Switching from wireless to Bluetooth and visa versa also have their own unique sounds. Turn it off, and you’ll hear a descending sound. Turn the headset on, and you’ll hear a rising sound. To that end, audio prompts are also on hand, which I also appreciate. To Logitech, however, it’s a necessary one as the G435 doesn’t work with G Hub and has no app or software support. It’s a clever way to make things simpler for users – or, at least, someone like me who’s terrible at remembering which buttons do what – as well as keep all the controls available on the headset itself. Similarly, pressing the mic mute and power buttons at the same time turns on Bluetooth pairing mode. The mic mute moonlights as the connectivity button – hold it down to toggle between Bluetooth and Lightspeed wireless. All of them – power, volume up, volume down, and mic mute – are on the left earcup so you know exactly which ear cup to grab for on-the-fly adjustments. The buttons are simple as well, minimalist if you must. And, its ear foams are soft and breathable enough to keep your head nice and dry. It’s also really comfortable to wear, its clamping force just enough to keep it on your head without giving you a massive migraine. For an almost all-plastic headset, it feels robust and can withstand plenty of drops and bumps, let alone normal wear and tear. There are a few other things I like about it. And, at only 165 g, it’s among the lightest headbands we’ve ever tested. It also has smaller earcups, which do not swivel, and a smaller headband, making it ideal for smaller heads. The G435 is made with recycled plastic, comes in responsible packaging, and has been certified Carbon Neutral. And, in those, the company has certainly succeeded. ![]() It doesn’t look as appealing being worn as it does sitting on your desk, sadly.īut, it all makes sense when you think about what Logitech is trying to do with this headset, which is threefold: (1) it’s trying to be more sustainable, (2) it’s offering a more comfortable option for younger gamers, and (3) it’s trying to keep things lightweight and light on the pocket. Also gone is the cloth covering to protect the drivers.īecause of some of those design changes, however, the G435 kind of ends up making your head look like a football if you’ve got a small head – sort of flat on the sides and sticking out at the end. The G435, perhaps for the sake of being carbon neutral and being even more lightweight, has forgone the suspension strap band, the flip mic, and sadly for RGB fans, the RGB lighting – which is why I was a little surprised that it only offers 18 hours of battery life to the G733’s 29 hours. That’s where the similarities end, however. And, while it doesn’t come in the same colorways, it still comes in fun ones – specifically, blue and raspberry, off-white and lilac, and black and neon yellow. It has the same angular and squarish ear cups, the same soft and breathable memory ear foams, and a very similar headband with a cutaway middle.
