Let’s be honest—bad audio can kill a game. One second you’re fully immersed, the next, the sound cracks or your teammate’s voice cuts off mid-callout, and suddenly, it’s game over. We’ve all been there. That’s exactly why we dove headfirst into Logitech’s lineup of popular gaming headsets: the G733, G435, G432, and G335. They may seem similar on paper, but trust us—once you actually use them, the differences jump out.
We’ve worn them for hours, switched between them mid-match, fiddled with every setting possible, and yes, even let them fall off the desk a few times. You know, real-world stuff. And now we’re going to walk you through what’s good, what’s “meh”, and what’s unexpectedly excellent.
Four designs, four vibes—comfort and color do matter
First off, all four headsets share the same over-ear design, but the way they sit, breathe, and wear throughout long gaming sessions? That varies more than you’d think.
The G733 and G435 both go the light and soft route, with memory foam and fabric covers that feel breathable even when things heat up. The G435 is the lightest of the bunch, and it’s easy to forget you’re even wearing it. That’s not a throwaway comment—at just 165 grams, it’s basically a feather. Ideal if you hate clunky gear or have a smaller head.
The G432, in contrast, uses synthetic leather pads, and while they feel more “classic gaming,” they get warm faster. The G733 mixes premium comfort with looks, with a suspension-style headband that adjusts like a dream and memory foam that just molds right in. It’s also the only one here with RGB lighting, and it’s not just for show—it looks seriously sharp.
Mic-wise, things split. The G435 hides its dual mics in the earcups, which gives it a super clean look. The rest go traditional: G733, G432, and G335 all rock boom mics, which are great for voice clarity but, yeah, they stick out.
Wireless freedom or old-school plug-in?
This is where preferences come into play. Some people can’t live without the freedom of wireless. Others want the zero-lag reliability of a wired line.
Only the G733 and G435 are wireless, and they do a solid job. The G733 lasts up to 29 hours and offers a 20-meter range, which gave us the freedom to pace around the room or grab a drink without missing a beat. The G435, on the other hand, clocks in at 18 hours of battery and around 10 meters of range, which is still decent for casual play.
The G432 and G335 stay wired, with 2-meter cables and 3.5 mm jacks that plug into anything: PC, console, old MP3 player (we tested). That also means no charging, no pairing issues, no fuss. They’re compatible out of the box with more legacy devices, which can be a big deal for retro gamers or multi-platform setups.
Audio performance: surround sound separates the pack
Here’s where things really start to spread out.
Both the G733 and G432 support DTS Headphone:X 2.0, which means actual surround sound—not that fake echo-y stuff. Footsteps feel like they’re behind you, explosions have depth, and positional audio becomes intuitive. It’s a massive upgrade if you play anything competitive.
The G435 doesn’t support DTS due to lack of GHub software support, but it does offer basic spatial audio. It’s not bad at all—but when we tested it side by side with the G733 in Valorant, we picked up audio cues faster with DTS active. That makes a difference.
Then there’s the G335. It’s fine for casual games or watching Twitch, but there’s no surround sound, no spatial audio, and no software tweaks. It’s just stereo. If you’re only playing Animal Crossing or listening to playlists, it works. But for FPS or immersive RPGs, it’s lacking.
Driver size also matters here. The G432 wins with 50 mm drivers, meaning deeper bass and more layered audio. The others have 40 mm drivers—adequate, but not as full-sounding.
Microphones: beamforming vs boom
There’s a clear divide in approach.
The G435 has integrated beamforming microphones built into the ear cups. It’s clean, but your voice can get lost if there’s background noise. No boom means less mic control, and we noticed more room echo during Discord sessions.
The G733, G432, and G335 all use traditional boom mics, and for team-based games or streaming, these mics give better vocal clarity. The G733’s mic is detachable, which adds flexibility, while the G432’s mic is flip-to-mute, which is super handy mid-game.
If you’re serious about callouts, voice chat, or content creation—go boom. No contest.
Controls and aesthetics: it’s the little things
All four headsets keep volume and mute controls within reach, usually on the left earcup. But there are key differences in flair.
Only the G733 has RGB lighting, which can sync with other Logitech gear using GHub. And look, we know lighting isn’t “important,” but let’s be real: it looks amazing and gives your setup a personality.
The G435 has playful color variants, with mint, lilac, and more vibrant combos that feel less “gamer bro” and more “cool cousin.” The G432 sticks with classic black and blue, while the G335 comes in some brighter tones like white and neon green that bring a little life without going overboard.
No touch controls, no gimmicks—just simple buttons that work.
Device compatibility: not all jacks are created equal
Compatibility comes down to connection type.
The G432 and G335 win on sheer versatility with their 3.5 mm analog jacks, which means they’ll plug into nearly any device—PS5, Xbox, Switch, old laptops, you name it.
The G733 and G435 use USB wireless receivers, so they’re a better fit for PC and PlayStation users. Adapters exist for other platforms, but it’s not as seamless. If you play on multiple consoles or want something for your Steam Deck or phone, the wired models are just easier.
Materials and durability: who holds up over time?
Memory foam makes a difference, and you’ll find it on the G733, G435, and G335. It molds to your head, breathes well, and avoids that swampy feeling. The G432 uses faux leather, which feels plush at first but heats up faster during longer sessions.
Build-wise, all four are made from high-grade plastic, but the G435’s featherweight construction makes it feel slightly less durable. It’s not fragile, but it’s clearly not made to be tossed around.
The G733 strikes the best balance between comfort and ruggedness, with sturdy sliders and a breathable headband that doesn’t dig into your scalp.
Software and customization: GHub or bust
Only two of these headsets really play ball with Logitech’s GHub software: the G733 and G432. And that’s huge if you’re the type to tweak EQ settings, boost bass, or apply custom sound profiles for different games.
The G733 takes it further with RGB customization and mic tuning presets, letting you adjust sidetone, noise gating, and even apply voice effects. G432 focuses more on DTS settings and mic balance, without the lighting flair.
The G435 and G335 don’t support GHub, so what you hear is what you get. If you’re into plug-and-play simplicity, fine. But if you love fine-tuning your setup, that’s a clear limitation.
The verdict? The G733 just gets it
After trying all four headsets in every way we could think of, the G733 doesn’t just edge out the others—it pulls ahead with confidence. It’s the one that gives you everything: comfort, killer sound, wireless freedom, boom mic clarity, lighting, and software support.
The G432 is a great runner-up if you’re wired-in and want top-tier audio. The G435 is lovable for casual gaming or younger players, especially with its lightweight frame and minimalist design. And the G335 is… fine, but it doesn’t really do anything the others don’t do better.
If you want a headset that can handle game night, LAN parties, late-night grind sessions, and still look good on the shelf? Go G733. It’s the one that doesn’t make you pick between sound, comfort, and style.
Now, if only someone could explain why we have to remove the USB dongle just to use another Logitech headset…
