g933 you guys may have seen my video here where Brandon and I checked out the Logitech design facility in cus where they actually developed these headphones that was an awesome trip and was sponsored by Logitech you may have also seen the sponsor spots that we've had on the WAN Show and in some standard content as well this video however is a review and because of that it is naturally not sponsored by Logitech usually we have a review of a product up before we start doing any sponsored content for it but this was not the case here this won't change the actual review and spoiler alert while I think they're mostly quite good they're also not perfect uh so yeah Logitech thinks they're going to sound great have great uh voice and be very comfortable let's see if that's true the master case 5 by Cooler Master gives you the freedom to truly make your midtower PC case your own with a variety of modular parts and accessories check the link in the video description to learn more these two different headsets are more or less actually the same thing both featuring logitech's 40 mm proog G driver 16.8 million color RGB lighting swappable side panels coming with stock looking Logitech ones by default Logitech G key macro buttons on the back of the left ear cup multiplatform support for PC and modern consoles Dolby Digital and DTS Technologies inside which you can swap between or turn completely off in the software suite but there is a core difference here and that is that the g633 is a wired and can mix two audio signals one through the 3.5 mm Jack and one through the USB connector while the g933 is wireless and conects three audio signals the two previously mentioned and another through the wireless band the audio mixing is basically Logitech allowing you to use all of your different available inputs at once this may sound understandably weird at first but the idea of being able to mix in your computer and your TV or record player could be cool to you and being able to keep your headset on while playing a game and simultaneously ordering pizza is pretty rad as well I don't expect even a majority of owners will even use this feature but it's neat nonetheless the Logitech gaming software is where you control the fun things like the RGB controls allowing you to change their color whether or not their solid color breathing or cycling their colors the rate at which they complete these various actions what zones they're on their brightness Etc you can also switch between Dolby Surround DTS or just turning all the digital stuff off you can also choose to run an arrangement of different equalizer profiles or go full custom and tune it as you'd like speaking of tuning it as you'd like you can configure your G keys to do basically anything by default G1 is cycle effect G2 is switch round sound off a on and G3 Cycles through EQ profiles leaving us with on the back left ear cup with a switch that goes between the 3.5 mm and USB inputs a scroll wheel for volume and a mute button for the mic you can also mute the extendable boom mic by just putting it back into its elegantly hidden hidey-hole place and the mic does sound very good for a gaming headset I don't necessarily think that it competes against something like a desk mounted microphone um but for something in a whole package that's nice and can be hidden away it does quite well all right so this is the mic test section of the review we're going to compare it against the standard lav that I normally wear now this isn't actually perfect it's going to be compressed by YouTube a little bit and we're recording it with audacity this won't go over the standard uh VIP service or whatever you're using to talk to your friends whether that's Skype or TeamSpeak or whatever it is it won't sound exactly the same but this should give you a rough representation of how the mic sounds I'm going to do a few things here I'm going to whisper just in case we need to be really sneaky in this game I don't know what we're doing I don't know what it is it's fine don't worry about it oh my God we just won the game that's awesome we killed the Nexus or did something diffuse the bomb I don't know good job team in terms of the audio quality of the cans your mileage may vary depending on what mode you have them in in terms of Dolby DTS or nothing I can say with confidence however that they're pretty great a leg above the Logitech g230 and 430 and most things in their category but that being said that should be expected as when looking at their price they're getting pretty close to some of the most expensive gaming headsets that there are available now how about comfort in a standard seated position without much movement I would say they feel pretty awesome the material used feels great they breathe well I have no issues with heat wearing them for an entire day was no issue at all in terms of that scenario I specified without much movement because un fortunately I'm unable to even

members around the office and found that Taran nickman burkel John and myself all shared this experience and had major problems with it Colton and Nick both had light problems with it um to some various degree and lonus alone didn't have any problem with it at all what does this mean well it means that there isn't necessarily an easy answer they sound quite good the mic is solid although there's some people online that are complaining about it like working at all uh they're quite durable considering they still work just fine and aren't damag despite the amount of times they've fallen off my head and onto the floor Logitech made a lot of great choices here and I believe that these are a great step forward from their previous headsets while they're comfortable and breathable I find that the padding is too slippery that coupled with the weight distribution largely being behind the headset uh makes some kind of weird results despite how cool they look that's actually weird but what does this mean for you well considering our testing was a little bit random depending on who the person was here I would suggest if at all possible trying them on if you live near a little tech shop that has headphones on display these are probably going to be fairly popular considering they're from Logitech so they might have them on display I would recommend trying them on if they're fine for you great a big part of the problem too is that they kind of slide so even if I put them on and they happen to not fall off if I hold my head there long enough they will eventually fall off whoa
