WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.639
logitech is probably who i would consider the king emperor god of mice

00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:13.200
but not headphones but have they made a headphone that finally might take the

00:00:10.719 --> 00:00:17.199
budget tier uh crown i don't know let's find out this is the

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:23.359
logitech g435 headset and uh this is actually a pretty

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:25.199
exciting piece of hardware uh it's

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:28.320
logitech's newest entry into the budget space of headphones i'm going to start

00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:32.719
with this one because this is probably the one i like the most

00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:37.520
comes in at 80 us uh it's a pretty standard headset it's

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:42.000
wireless it has a usb a dongle uh but can also connect to your pc your

00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:44.879
playstation and your phone it's got bluetooth and lightspeed i believe this

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:48.559
is the first uh logitech certainly the first budget

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:52.480
logitech wireless headset that can connect both bluetooth and lightspeed

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:57.440
which is a pretty compelling thing this thing is light holy smokes i don't know

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:04.080
if that's indicative of quality or not but it feels good but oh boy

00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:07.119
they say that it comes in at 165 grams

00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:08.560
there you go spot on 164. holy

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

00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:17.040
of like playful cyberpunk i mean you're going to choose the color you like i

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:20.720
also like the the lilac off-white and the black and uh neon is probably

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:23.920
what i picked just because i i'm gross and i make everything look dirty really

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:27.520
easily the padding here is pretty good that

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:32.720
feels like memory foam you can see how slow it is to squish back

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:38.079
that's not necessarily the best padding at the top is nothing there's literally

00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:40.240
no padding it's like right onto

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:43.439
plastic but because it's so light that's probably not a big deal

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.680
um inside again there's no fabric it's just

00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:50.880
straight onto plastic so if this padding is not doing great your ears are going

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:55.280
to be touching plastic which is again maybe not that strange for a cheap

00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:59.840
pair of headphones there is no boom ARM there's instead dual beam forming

00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:04.159
microphones uh which helps keep it lighter yeah i like these little cables

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:07.680
uh it's kind of a retro aesthetic and there's something kind of retro gamery

00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:13.120
about the whole thing that i think it all comes together to be pretty pleasing

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

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

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:25.280
battery inside this headset which would be very impressive if true we're not

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

00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.720
get these peels you know

00:02:31.519 --> 00:02:37.599
these are hard peels to get holy one of the nice things about this lineup of

00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:42.319
headphones is that they've tried to be as ecologically friendly as possible uh

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

00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:50.160
first carbon neutral headsets which is pretty cool i believe the headset they

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:53.200
said is is at least 22 recycled plastics

00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:54.720
and the packaging as well uh and it's a

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

00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:01.920
wasn't much else inside the box but there was this little box which is gonna

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:08.879
have a little dongle oh that's cute that it's color appropriate i like that

00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:10.879
you got your type a to c cable

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:16.560
and your instruction manual not a sponsor

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:19.840
we got the other ones as well um just to

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.840
see what they look like

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

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:31.440
think i would actually probably pick between the black

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

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

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

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:47.920
jackery thanks to jackery for sponsoring this video their explorer 1500 portable

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:52.799
power station has enough juice to keep all your devices powered and connected

00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:57.920
its huge 1500 watt hour capacity and 1800 watt output rate allows up to seven

00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:01.920
devices plugged in simultaneously it takes only four hours to recharge from

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

00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:10.400
below with our code Linus tech tips

00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:14.640
wow that was easy i plugged in the dongle hit the power button uh and then

00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:19.280
it immediately connected i think i might be out of juice though

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:23.199
so much for 18 hours well okay already these don't feel great

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

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

00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:38.960
ears these are okay these definitely aren't the worst that i've had the the

00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:42.720
cups feel like a little bit small for my ears um

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

00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:49.040
kind of headset you're gonna wear comfortably for like seven eight hours

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:52.400
at a time so hey maybe the battery lasts that long you won't

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

00:04:56.400 --> 00:05:02.960
be becoming like a bit annoying after rubbing or something but overall

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:05.520
comfort's fine give it like a a b minus i gotta say

00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:09.440
i'm kind of coming around to white peripherals they do look pretty slick

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

00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:19.360
need it plugged in just so a thing of note is that there is

00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:20.720
no aux cable so it's wireless or nothing

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

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:28.400
wired from a headphone jack just just to know

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:33.039
i can definitely hear you it's the sound isolation is pretty minimal like speak

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

00:05:35.039 --> 00:05:40.320
good the sound isolation is almost non-existent let's just test out the

00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:44.000
microphone let's see how it does so one thing that is advertised on this

00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:49.440
headphone is that it's uh dolby atmos and tempest compatible it means nothing

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:52.880
every headphone is dolby atmos and uh tempest compatible as far as i

00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:55.600
understand it's just that's more of like a computational side thing where it's

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

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

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

00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:12.560
standard response range so 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz um

00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:17.840
again these specs mean very little we'll see how they actually sound this is what

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

00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:27.440
going to bring my volume down into what looks more appropriate hello everyone

00:06:24.479 --> 00:06:32.319
this is david your radio host for ShortCircuit today unfortunately

00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:37.600
it won't sound like a race but pride promise you it's velvety

00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:42.560
not smooth that's not great it's not great

00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:45.600
uh i don't know if that's like that

00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:47.280
digitalization glitching is part of the

00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:51.759
the headphone to uh receiver being like there's a desk in

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

00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:01.280
recording thing that's like a d that's not good is it is it adjustable

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

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:10.000
often with logitech stuff there is no gcub compatibility until it's out like

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

00:07:12.400 --> 00:07:17.840
just couldn't get it so it's possible that there might be eq

00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:21.199
stuff later but i didn't see anything in the reviewer's docket about customizing

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

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

00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:35.360
apex yeah these are totally decent like i can

00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:40.560
hear everything i think like the mid bass is like a little forward um

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

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

00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:53.599
want to hear is if i'm like i'm not losing my competitive

00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:57.599
advantage of using like high-end uh why is it set to hold that's why

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

00:07:59.919 --> 00:08:04.960
end headstones is that you get a lot better clarity uh not necessarily

00:08:03.840 --> 00:08:09.680
spatially but in terms of like granularity of detail so it helps with

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

00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:15.840
an 45 let's find out if this was a really bad choice

00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:23.120
bad choice but yeah okay in terms of audio

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

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

00:08:29.440 --> 00:08:34.240
terms of adjustability it's not great uh

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

00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:43.919
feel i wish i could extend uh this a little bit more like there's

00:08:41.680 --> 00:08:48.160
no give there's no play they there's a bit of adjustability kind of

00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:52.160
this way but it'll be plastic resisting against you like the flex

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:55.120
um so it's not ideal i'm really impressed with the audio quality of

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

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

00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:08.000
thing in it's already connected this is really easy so that's interesting the

00:09:06.160 --> 00:09:12.160
volume control on your headphone the volume control on the console is different

00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:15.680
uh sometimes that's kind of nice but it's also kind of annoying

00:09:13.760 --> 00:09:21.440
okay let's pop into eternal which is i think probably the best example of

00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:23.920
tempest audio which is sony's answer to atmos

00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:28.240
that they had to kind of pull out of their their wazoo

00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:31.040
after xbox bought two years of exclusive exclusivity so

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

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

00:09:38.880 --> 00:09:46.160
king return i'm so sick of this on this soundscape i feel like i'm

00:09:43.920 --> 00:09:50.399
missing a little bit of like the the crispness at the top end like that rain

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:53.680
sounds good but it doesn't sound

00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:57.440
quite like rain it sounds like a little muted and it's like

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

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

00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:09.760
micro it's also like the volume is pretty loud

00:10:08.079 --> 00:10:13.680
uh but because the sound isolation is not amazing uh you might have a problem

00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:17.200
just like getting it loud enough if you're in a loud room with other people

00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:20.560
these sound good for 80 headphones though i've got no complaints uh i don't

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

00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:28.399
audio quality these are really good for cheap

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

00:10:29.680 --> 00:10:35.200
how to play this game like most cheap headphones the bass is a little much uh

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

00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:43.600
can feel the clarity uh so these are

00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:48.079
these are still cheap headphones but they're they're good they're good so all

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

00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:56.160
young person and a microphone's not particularly important to you i think

00:10:52.800 --> 00:10:57.120
for 80 you could do much much worse if

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

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

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

00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:14.880
twos are very good as well if you want to buy

00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:20.240
one of these uh check them out in the link description they're there so thank you so much for

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:23.360
watching uh i always have a blast doing these so if you like this video
