Unlike the Arctis microphone, it doesn't respond well at all if you "eat the mic." So you'll want some distance. The boom mic is pretty good! However, it's very sensitive to positioning, and I had to move it a touch further away and lower than other mics to get good audio. And the headset still sounds great in plain-old stereo. As a fan of virtual headphone surround, this is one of the best implementations out there. The EQ and room settings apply in real-time so you can easily compare the differences and find what you like. You can select from a few different virtual rooms, and you can also apply custom EQ settings. Using Logitech's software, you can turn on DTS Headphone: X. It only works on PC, but it shows up as a full 7.1 surround device so you shouldn't have any compatibility issues in games. If you like virtual surround sound, you're really going to enjoy the included USB sound card. I really wish HyperX made a Cloud II with a removable cable. The removable cable and mic are both nice touches. I have six extra clicks of adjustment, and they get fairly small on the smaller end. They provide ample room for my larger head, too. The cups rotate to be flat for necks or desks, but don't collapse. The headband has metal reinforcement throughout the frame and the adjustment mechanisms. The mesh fabric feels a bit rough.but it's also hydrophobic for easier use outside. The feel is a little bit less impressive than the look, but build quality is still good. This is one great-looking pair of headphones that happens to be a headset. The cloth coverings on the backs of the ear cups help it not to scream "GAMING HEADSET" at everyone around you. The frame is well contoured and doesn't stick out super far from your head. The G433 is perhaps the only gaming headset on the market that also looks like a style headphone. You'll find no gaming bass bloat whatsoever, here. It stands tall against "Regular" headphones, too. The Arctis 5 and the Cloud II both set a high bar and this easily matches them. Only the most ardent of audiophiles could possibly want more quality out of their sound reproduction.and you'd have to spend a lot more money to top this level, honestly. They're really neat to look at under the removable ear pads, and they provide a sound that rivals the best audio products in this price range. Instead of the clear pliable material most headphone drivers use, these use a black mesh fabric. Logitech talked at length about accurate sound when developing their new Pro G drivers a couple of years ago, which are also featured in this model. They don't sparkle or sizzle much but they're accurate to the recording. The highs are just a touch toned down so they won't fatigue you at high volume levels. Mids are pleasantly smooth and make vocals sound natural. The bass is not as thick and gentle as that famous model, but rather rendered with crisp precision. It's a little brighter and flatter than the HyperX Cloud, with a better, more accurate bass response. The G433 has a wonderful sound to it, with gentle sculpting in the lows, mids, and highs that give it a bit of a fun bite while still maintaining all the detail and clarity you could ever want. You won't find the thumpy, over-dramatic response of some other gaming headsets here. If you like balanced, beautiful, accurate sound, you're in for a treat.
