The Logitech G435, priced at $39.99 (was $79.99), the type of quiet disruption budget gaming headsets need, delivers incredible lightness combined with respectable wireless performance, all without breaking the wallet. Logitech prioritized comfort when creating the G435. The thing disappears on your head during marathon gaming sessions, weighing just 165 grams (or around 5.8 ounces).
The earcups are constructed of soft, breathable fabric that keeps the heat at bay, and the headband has a thin layer of the same material stretched over some really basic padding. Users may wear the item for hours without breaking a sweat, and the only time they’ll feel tired is when it’s time to take it off. A wonderful addition is the braille indicators on the sides, which help you determine left from right as quickly as possible, demonstrating that Logitech thought about regular use.

Connectivity is a major highlight here, with a USB dongle that supports LIGHTSPEED wifi for low-latency gaming on PC, Mac, PS consoles, and even Switch. Switch to Bluetooth for your phone or tablet, and it will handle music or calls without losing signal. Most configurations have a range of roughly 10 meters. The battery lasts about 18 hours per charge via USB-C, which is enough for a couple of nights of gaming without needing to recharge.
The sound comes from 40mm speakers that have been adjusted for a balanced sound profile. The bass has a soft, relaxing touch that isn’t overpowering; the mids are crystal clear for voices and effects; and the highs gently roll off past 9kHz, so there’s no harshness. Many people find that the audio produces huge, full-bodied sound for both games and music, especially with a little EQ tweaking using Logitech’s PC software. Volume is limited to roughly 85 decibels in some versions for safety reasons, which is unfortunate if you enjoy cranking it up loud, but better safe than sorry.
The mics are hidden into the left earcup as dual beamformers, picking up speech as crisp as a bell while reducing background noise without the use of a cumbersome boom arm. Clarity is quite impressive for the price, yet it lacks the isolation and richness found in higher-end models.
