Okay, it’s still a little bit about sound The mesh-covered memory foam ear cup pads are a little too small to let you forget that you’re wearing a headset, but you can wear them for a full day without feeling any fatigue.

Even without any clamping, the headset holds in place on your head with only the slightest amount of pressure. The top of the headset doesn’t have any memory foam cushioning to soften the pressure on the top of your head. The G435, shockingly, needs none of these things. Most of my favorite headsets are pretty heavy: They need lots of padding, enough clamp force to grab your head and hold in place and, often, a suspended or “floating” headband to distribute the weight.

But while the numbers seem arbitrary, a lower weight makes a big difference. Judging the weight of a headset can feel a bit like splitting hairs: The G435’s 164 grams feels impossibly light, but the 13.4 ounces of the HyperX Cloud Revolver is heavy enough to weigh you down after a couple of hours. Again, it weighs just 164 grams (or 5.78 ounces). (It also comes in off-white and lavender, or black and yellow).įrom a technical perspective, the Logitech G435’s light frame is its signature feature. No amount of RGB lighting can ever approach the flair of simply wearing a blue and pink headset. And, most obviously, it’s strikingly colorful. There’s no boom mic extending from the headphones in front of your face, so you never have to adjust anything to get the best possible sound. Instead of traditional forks, the cans connect on sliding bars of plastic that seem to slide into place without the need to adjust them to fit your head. The top band is covered in fabric, but has no padding: The headset’s so light, it doesn’t need any. It’s plastic frame bends, though not flimsily. SEE IT It doesn’t have to be all about soundĮvery aspect of the Logitech G435 keeps it casual.
