THE G430

Logitech keeps using the same base design as they did with the G35 and i really see no reason not to. This time however they have opted for a much more trendy black/light blue color combination.

On the exterior of each earcup Logitech has placed their Gaming Gear logo and right above we see the model name.

By default the unidirectional microphone is folded upwards and as you can see it has a vertical movement of up to 120 degrees.

The headband of the G430 extends up to 5cm on each side via 15 increments (no visual markings however).

Logitech has used very soft cloth earpads which can be removed very easily.

Both earpieces swivel up to 90 degrees for easier carrying and storage.

The headpad has the same cloth material as the earpads so it's quite comfortable.

An small in-line controller allows you to mute the microphone and control the volume.

Unfortunately although i did like the cloath cover for the cable both 3.5mm plugs are not gold plated.

If you want to make use of the 7.1 virtual surround sound feature of the G430 you will have to plug both into the USB soundcard.
