1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:08,639
logitech is probably who i would consider the king emperor god of mice

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:13,200
but not headphones but have they made a headphone that finally might take the

3
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:17,199
budget tier uh crown i don't know let's find out this is the

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:23,359
logitech g435 headset and uh this is actually a pretty

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:25,199
exciting piece of hardware uh it's

6
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:28,320
logitech's newest entry into the budget space of headphones i'm going to start

7
00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:32,719
with this one because this is probably the one i like the most

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:37,520
comes in at 80 us uh it's a pretty standard headset it's

9
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:42,000
wireless it has a usb a dongle uh but can also connect to your pc your

10
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:44,879
playstation and your phone it's got bluetooth and lightspeed i believe this

11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,559
is the first uh logitech certainly the first budget

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,480
logitech wireless headset that can connect both bluetooth and lightspeed

13
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:57,440
which is a pretty compelling thing this thing is light holy smokes i don't know

14
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:04,080
if that's indicative of quality or not but it feels good but oh boy

15
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:07,119
they say that it comes in at 165 grams

16
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,560
there you go spot on 164. holy

17
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:13,439
i really like this color i think that's pretty cool purple pink blue it's kind

18
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:17,040
of like playful cyberpunk i mean you're going to choose the color you like i

19
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:20,720
also like the the lilac off-white and the black and uh neon is probably

20
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:23,920
what i picked just because i i'm gross and i make everything look dirty really

21
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,520
easily the padding here is pretty good that

22
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:32,720
feels like memory foam you can see how slow it is to squish back

23
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:38,079
that's not necessarily the best padding at the top is nothing there's literally

24
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:40,240
no padding it's like right onto

25
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:43,439
plastic but because it's so light that's probably not a big deal

26
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,680
um inside again there's no fabric it's just

27
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,880
straight onto plastic so if this padding is not doing great your ears are going

28
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:55,280
to be touching plastic which is again maybe not that strange for a cheap

29
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:59,840
pair of headphones there is no boom ARM there's instead dual beam forming

30
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:04,159
microphones uh which helps keep it lighter yeah i like these little cables

31
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,680
uh it's kind of a retro aesthetic and there's something kind of retro gamery

32
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:13,120
about the whole thing that i think it all comes together to be pretty pleasing

33
00:02:10,239 --> 00:02:17,920
we got power we got a volume rocker we got microphone mute and then we got our

34
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:21,599
type c for charging which is a great they say that there's 18 hours worth of

35
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:25,280
battery inside this headset which would be very impressive if true we're not

36
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:30,720
going to test that today but so we'll just take them on faith baby let's just

37
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,720
get these peels you know

38
00:02:31,519 --> 00:02:37,599
these are hard peels to get holy one of the nice things about this lineup of

39
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:42,319
headphones is that they've tried to be as ecologically friendly as possible uh

40
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,360
they're they're paying for carbon offset so they're supposed to be one of the

41
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:50,160
first carbon neutral headsets which is pretty cool i believe the headset they

42
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:53,200
said is is at least 22 recycled plastics

43
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,720
and the packaging as well uh and it's a

44
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:58,239
simple packaging there's no plastic it's all cardboard which i am a fan of there

45
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,920
wasn't much else inside the box but there was this little box which is gonna

46
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,879
have a little dongle oh that's cute that it's color appropriate i like that

47
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:10,879
you got your type a to c cable

48
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:16,560
and your instruction manual not a sponsor

49
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,840
we got the other ones as well um just to

50
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,840
see what they look like

51
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,120
now that i have them out i think these ones kind of look the cheapest so i

52
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,440
think i would actually probably pick between the black

53
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:35,280
and the white off-white and lilac and in fact i think i'm gonna pick the

54
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:38,959
lilac one i really like the look of this i'm super excited to try these out see

55
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:44,000
how they sound see how they feel on my head but first a word from our sponsor

56
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:47,920
jackery thanks to jackery for sponsoring this video their explorer 1500 portable

57
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:52,799
power station has enough juice to keep all your devices powered and connected

58
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:57,920
its huge 1500 watt hour capacity and 1800 watt output rate allows up to seven

59
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:01,920
devices plugged in simultaneously it takes only four hours to recharge from

60
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:08,560
zero to eighty percent uh check out the explorer 1500 and get 10 off at the link

61
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,400
below with our code Linus tech tips

62
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,640
wow that was easy i plugged in the dongle hit the power button uh and then

63
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:19,280
it immediately connected i think i might be out of juice though

64
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:23,199
so much for 18 hours well okay already these don't feel great

65
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:30,000
so i'm like i need good padding because i have lots of earrings um i'm just sent

66
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:34,479
i'm sensitive to like really good padding and like making sure there's not like pressure on a specific part of my

67
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,960
ears these are okay these definitely aren't the worst that i've had the the

68
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,720
cups feel like a little bit small for my ears um

69
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:45,280
and i think this would be fine to wear for extended periods but it's not like

70
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:49,040
kind of headset you're gonna wear comfortably for like seven eight hours

71
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,400
at a time so hey maybe the battery lasts that long you won't

72
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:58,240
that being said it's so light that the fact that there's no pad on the top isn't a big deal uh i could see it still

73
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:02,960
be becoming like a bit annoying after rubbing or something but overall

74
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:05,520
comfort's fine give it like a a b minus i gotta say

75
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,440
i'm kind of coming around to white peripherals they do look pretty slick

76
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:13,199
all right so it's working this cable is just for power don't worry you don't

77
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:19,360
need it plugged in just so a thing of note is that there is

78
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:20,720
no aux cable so it's wireless or nothing

79
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,960
you could do this if you ran out of juice but uh you're not gonna run it

80
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,400
wired from a headphone jack just just to know

81
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:33,039
i can definitely hear you it's the sound isolation is pretty minimal like speak

82
00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:36,560
to me just like at a normal volume that's good it's your it my weekend was

83
00:05:35,039 --> 00:05:40,320
good the sound isolation is almost non-existent let's just test out the

84
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:44,000
microphone let's see how it does so one thing that is advertised on this

85
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:49,440
headphone is that it's uh dolby atmos and tempest compatible it means nothing

86
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:52,880
every headphone is dolby atmos and uh tempest compatible as far as i

87
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,600
understand it's just that's more of like a computational side thing where it's

88
00:05:54,479 --> 00:06:00,160
processing the audio different and giving you better spatial audio it's not a headphone side thing that being said

89
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,639
it's nice having the sticker you know it's a cool sticker uh in terms of other

90
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:08,639
specs it's a 40 millimeter driver uh it's 20 to 20 like which is a pretty

91
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:12,560
standard response range so 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz um

92
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:17,840
again these specs mean very little we'll see how they actually sound this is what

93
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:21,520
the audio sounds like i am clipping uh there's no auto volume which is fine i'm

94
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:27,440
going to bring my volume down into what looks more appropriate hello everyone

95
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:32,319
this is david your radio host for ShortCircuit today unfortunately

96
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:37,600
it won't sound like a race but pride promise you it's velvety

97
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:42,560
not smooth that's not great it's not great

98
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:45,600
uh i don't know if that's like that

99
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,280
digitalization glitching is part of the

100
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:51,759
the headphone to uh receiver being like there's a desk in

101
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:56,240
between or if that's like a recording thing but i don't think that's a

102
00:06:53,360 --> 00:07:01,280
recording thing that's like a d that's not good is it is it adjustable

103
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:06,319
uh it's not showing up in g-hub i don't know if there is another way to get it

104
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,000
often with logitech stuff there is no gcub compatibility until it's out like

105
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:13,759
i've i noticed that with a mouse or something where i wanted the compatibility but until it was out i

106
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,840
just couldn't get it so it's possible that there might be eq

107
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:21,199
stuff later but i didn't see anything in the reviewer's docket about customizing

108
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:26,160
eqs it's fine if you were gaming with friends it's fine all right uh let's see

109
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:31,759
how it sounds though we still haven't even tested the audio so let's play some

110
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:35,360
apex yeah these are totally decent like i can

111
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:40,560
hear everything i think like the mid bass is like a little forward um

112
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,879
i'm sure you could eq it a little bit i can hear a lot of little details and i'm

113
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:49,199
kind of excited to see how these do it sounds a little bit thin but what i

114
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:53,599
want to hear is if i'm like i'm not losing my competitive

115
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:57,599
advantage of using like high-end uh why is it set to hold that's why

116
00:07:55,759 --> 00:08:01,680
because that's like a big reason for me in my opinion when you're playing competitive shooters to have really high

117
00:07:59,919 --> 00:08:04,960
end headstones is that you get a lot better clarity uh not necessarily

118
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:09,680
spatially but in terms of like granularity of detail so it helps with

119
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:13,039
placing yourself in the world i don't know why i'm rushing into a fight with

120
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,840
an 45 let's find out if this was a really bad choice

121
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:23,120
bad choice but yeah okay in terms of audio

122
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,680
it's still like not perfectly balanced like i if i could go in with an eq i

123
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:32,800
think i would like a little bit a little bit better i can already feel the comfort level kind of diminishing in

124
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,240
terms of adjustability it's not great uh

125
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:39,360
they say that these are designed for a small head and i don't have a particularly small head so i can already

126
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:43,919
feel i wish i could extend uh this a little bit more like there's

127
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:48,160
no give there's no play they there's a bit of adjustability kind of

128
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:52,160
this way but it'll be plastic resisting against you like the flex

129
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,120
um so it's not ideal i'm really impressed with the audio quality of

130
00:08:53,200 --> 00:09:00,720
these headphones uh i want to go into something where it's a little more spatially aware so i'm going to pop into

131
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:04,640
the ps5 and let's try it out there turning the ps5 on and off plugging the

132
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:08,000
thing in it's already connected this is really easy so that's interesting the

133
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:12,160
volume control on your headphone the volume control on the console is different

134
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:15,680
uh sometimes that's kind of nice but it's also kind of annoying

135
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:21,440
okay let's pop into eternal which is i think probably the best example of

136
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,920
tempest audio which is sony's answer to atmos

137
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:28,240
that they had to kind of pull out of their their wazoo

138
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:31,040
after xbox bought two years of exclusive exclusivity so

139
00:09:29,839 --> 00:09:36,320
all right it's been a long time since i've played this game the big reason being they still don't have save

140
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:41,360
states house marquis house mark i don't know how to say it put safe states in

141
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:46,160
king return i'm so sick of this on this soundscape i feel like i'm

142
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:50,399
missing a little bit of like the the crispness at the top end like that rain

143
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,680
sounds good but it doesn't sound

144
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,440
quite like rain it sounds like a little muted and it's like

145
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:01,120
as if like the the lower end of that sound is coming out a little too strong

146
00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:05,279
it's not bad uh and i feel like i'm getting a lot of detail a lot of the kind of like the

147
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:09,760
micro it's also like the volume is pretty loud

148
00:10:08,079 --> 00:10:13,680
uh but because the sound isolation is not amazing uh you might have a problem

149
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:17,200
just like getting it loud enough if you're in a loud room with other people

150
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,560
these sound good for 80 headphones though i've got no complaints uh i don't

151
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,160
think the comfort's great i don't think the microphone is great but in terms of

152
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:28,399
audio quality these are really good for cheap

153
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:31,600
headphones i'm very impressed okay let's get into a fight let's see if i remember

154
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:35,200
how to play this game like most cheap headphones the bass is a little much uh

155
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:40,240
once i'm in the thick of it and there's a lot of different sounds i can definitely feel the rumble more than i

156
00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:43,600
can feel the clarity uh so these are

157
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:48,079
these are still cheap headphones but they're they're good they're good so all

158
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:51,120
in all these are a really good option if you have a small head or if you're a

159
00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:56,160
young person and a microphone's not particularly important to you i think

160
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,120
for 80 you could do much much worse if

161
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:02,480
you're willing to spend a little bit more money i think you can get a more well-rounded headset um

162
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,480
i think like the art i'm a big fan of the arctic arctis series by steelseries

163
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:11,600
uh depending on your budget you can kind of just go up and down i think they're all pretty good if not the hyperx clouds

164
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:14,880
twos are very good as well if you want to buy

165
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:20,240
