You will need software assistance to get all that tech to do 7.1 Surround. The microphone is a pickup-pattern unidirectional mic, which is a Pressure Gradient Electret Condenser. Logitech is using 40mm drivers, capable of 20Hz-20Khz frequency response with 32 Ohms impedance. The G430 is a high-quality 7.1 surround sound unit. ![]() The joint-travels end here as the G230 is hopelessly outpaced. Where these two great products hit the fork in the road is at Performance. Ok, so the design is nice, but we’ve seen it before in the G230. Related: If you like this headset, you might be interested in our Logitech G533 Gaming Headset review.

It’s sufficient, but it can be hit accidentally, confusing users and listeners alike. Instead, there is a switch found on the in-line control. The mic flips up out of the way, which is nice. Also, like the G230, you can lay the earpieces flat since they can pivot for added comfort when not in use. The cloth around the ear cushions is porous and fights ear and head perspiration very well. The G230 sustains long consecutive hours of use without the slightest comfort hiccup. With similar styling comes identical comfort. Nothing about this look or initial aesthetic design is different than the stereo audio G230 offering. The headband just above the earpiece where the G230 gaming headset features its model number etched in chrome is the same place on the G430 where you will find its model number also emblazoned in chrome lettering. The Logitech G430 is colored a bright topaz blue, whereas the G230 is doused in red. Related: To see how this headset stacks up, take a look at our Logitech G230 Stereo Gaming Headset review.

Big brothers tend to stomp and pout when made to wear little bro’s hand-me-ups. ![]() But these new Logitech G430 Dolby surround headphones are immensely impressive–though they could benefit from a more original styling. They’re not colored in the same sexy red-on-black motif. After being blown away by the stereo audio performance on the crimson-clad G230 headphones from Logitech, we’re back with the 7.1 surround version. Those three apps won't work with the Logitech USB adapter so you'll have to plug your headset directly into your computer's audio jacks in order to activate them.It’s finally here. The built-in Windows Sonic may be worth a shot as well. ![]() You may have better luck with virtual surround sound by plugging the headphones directly into your computer audio jacks and experimenting with the Dolby Access and DTS Sound Unbound apps from the Microsoft Store. Modern Warfare does not have a Headphone mix in the audio settings, but I still found that pure stereo (LGS surround off) provided the best competitive sound accuracy. For instance, CSGO has a headphone HRTF setting under audio settings, so use that instead. If the game has built in Headphone/HRTF mix settings, use those and leave LGS Surround turned off. When I tried DTS Surround, everything sounded off, so I didn't have any luck with that. I tried using Dolby Surround Sound with some FPS games and while the soundstage and atmosphere were nice, generally the Footstep sounds were less accurate or difficult to hear. That provides a pure stereo feed from the game which is quite satisfactory in most situations and has very accurate footstep placement for me. Best Audio for me when playing games is having Surround Sound turned Off.
