Thanks! I really hope it doesn't go cheaper any where else for at least a month.

Think I might grab these. Have been on my notification list for awhile. Has anyone had experience with these cans? Seems a fair number of users reporting sound issues with the right channel dying out. Logitech has a 2-year limited warranty on these, and as a company they've been pretty good for RMAs.

According to pricegrabber [pricegrabber.com], this is roughly matching the lowest price it has been in 6 months (about $75).

These are an excellent set of wireless headphones. Sound for games is decent and the mic is pretty good. The wireless range is easily 30'. It's nice not having wires.

I have been looking at these for a few weeks. I grabbed a pair! Thanks.

These are by far the best headset I have owned. I have had these for 2.5 years now w/o any issues and I'm using them on average 3-4 hours per day, mainly for teleconferences & phone calls. Very comfortable to wear (I have large ears and most headsets end up hurting my ears after an hour or so), very good audio quality and NEVER had anybody complaining about microphone quality, which was always an issue with my previous $30-50 headsets.

I got my set off CL for like $55 virtually new and I would happily pay this price for them. Don't expect audiophile quality but they are quite good. I have had channel issues with these and there are reports of the swivel being delicate so be careful. Otherwise great set of cans and very comfortable. I never feel fatigue with these on.

Amazon has it for same price as well: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wi...B003VANOFY

this headset has great sound quality except it's really bad for long time usage since it's really on the heavy side and tends to give headache.

got a set during BF sales and have been using them since. very comfy, nice mic flexibility. here's my biggest gripe with it (and IMO, a BIG miss...hundreds of complaints about this since the product came out and Logitech has never provided a firmware fix and never will) - i tend to like to hang in vent channels, but not always talk. and some times, the vent channel is quiet for a while. this headset will automatically shutoff after 15 mins of no input/output. there's no way to disable this auto-shutoff.

I had them and finally got rid of them. They work pretty well, except for two things: First, they really picked up typing in the background, so while I was on conference calls, people would really hear my type unless I muted -- much more so than my wired Sennheiser PC151 [amazon.com] headset. The Sennheiser is running $45 and, while it is on ear rather than over ear (a plus for some things and a minus for others) is unsurpassed in my experience is quality and reliability. Also, the wireless feature of the Logitechs was a big problem for me because of interference on the 2.4 gHz band from the router, bluetooth, etc. (even leaving aside USB 3). The sound would come and go based on 2.4 gHz EMI.

The wireless element is certainly nice, but at this price you are like $15 away from a serious set of entry-level audiophile headphones that won't break in the first 6 months of use.

In my experience, ALL "gaming" marketed headsets are overpriced piles of junk compared to their non-gamer counterparts. Poor sound quality and build quality. I don't have any firsthand experience with this particular set, but the reviews seem to lump it into the same category of style over substance.

For $15 more, you could get a set of Audio Technica ATH AD700s, which are widely known for having pretty much the best soundstage that money can buy as well as twice the general audio quality of these headphones. The wide soundstage means you can precisely pinpoint EXACTLY where your enemies are based on sound alone.

Sure, the AD700s aren't wireless (which I understand the appeal of), but they will last MUCH longer, be infinitely more comfortable, and sound way, waaaay better for $15 more.

If you are looking to drop $100 on a set of headphones for gaming, you are on the market for a high quality product. I'm not sure that I've ever seen a "gaming" marketed headset that was anything other than an overpriced pile of junk.

These aren't audiophile, but they're wireless, sounds is pretty great, and build is good. Have a pair I've used for the last 2 years, no real issues to report.

I would love to give Logitech the benefit of the doubt here, as all of their other peripherals have treated me very well over the years.

I actually considered these headphones as a gaming headset because I got sick of my other gaming headsets fraying and losing sound or microphone. I thought, "Hey, if I get a wireless headset, then that will eliminate the fraying issue!"

Unfortunately a lot of the reviews for this headset report that one of the earpieces or the microphone will short out over time. If I am dropping a benjamin on a gaming peripheral, I need something that is going to put up with my 3-6 hours of daily gaming abuse for the next 3+ years.

I can't comment at all on the audio quality or soundstage of these headphones, I just know that there was absolutely no comparisson to be made between my AD700s and my old gaming headsets (Razer Carcharias, Steelseries Siberia V2, etc). The AD700s absolutely blow them out of the water in every single category--comfort, sound quality, construction, soundstage. When I game on my AD700s, I feel like it's the old days of CS 1.6 with a Soundblaster X-Fi and I can hear every last footstep location around the map. It's freaking sound hacks, I swear.

I am admittedly jealous of the wireless aspect, as it would be nice to not to worry about rolling over the cord or accidentally standing up too fast. But the benefits of spending your money on pure headphones as opposed to covering the markup and marketing costs of a "gamer" label are too big to pass up. I know that I, for one, will never buy any peripheral marketed solely toward "gamers" again.

I like these headphones -- but as a person with a normal-sized head and happy with other brands, I found these were extremely tight. It squeezes your head and gives you a headache after about 20 minutes. Maybe it just needs more time to break in, I hope.

Love my pair, completely different sound experience than all of the other normal headphones I've used. When I first got them I had to take them off a few times to make sure my speakers weren't on :P Mic has been the best for me and I've owned a few gaming headsets. They are also the most comfortable ones I've worn, though it is annoying what it does to your hair (squishes a stripe across the top down).

Paid $75 iirc, definitely worth it! The only thing I wish they had was a hookup for 360 or just 3.5mm input of some sort.

The G930s might not have the best soundstage, but the directional cues more than adequate for casual gaming. Also, to get the best directional cues from the AD700, you'll need a soundcard with Dolby Headphone which will put you back another $25-$30.

If you're not interested in wireless, you're right, there are better options. Comfort is subjective. I've worn the G930s all day and have never thought twice about them once they're on my head. Sound is also subjective, AD700s lack bass, which a lot of people seem to like for casual listening. With the sound card and a decent mic, you're looking at about $50 more total, and your'e not even wireless.

In the end, there are tradeoffs for everything. I'd rather wear my more expensive cans 24/7, but sometimes I need to be mobile and I like having the option of stepping away from my computer and not having to worry about taking my headphones off every time I get up.

I'd like to get a pair of these, but I live in an apartment complex and everyone uses 2.4 GHz routers. Is there a way to know in advance if there will be too much interference to use this headset?

Same price @amazon?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/ol/B0...050&sr=8-1

No. And there 's no guarantee that if they work this month, that something won't mess with them next month.

These are by far the best investment I EVER MADE! Love them to death and I payed 120 for them. Anyone on the fence, don't be. These are one of the few headphones that work while charging as well, tack on a 3 year warranty and your set! I wear these headsets for at least 8-10 hours a day and they are super comfortable.

Here is a video if you guys have any questions about the cable length (THIS IS NOT A SPOT FOR MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL) I am just helping anyone who is wondering how long the cable length of the cable to charge the device! Message me if you have any questions about it!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1...ag&index=1

I have changed to 3 different routers in the span of me owning this headset, all of which have been 2.4GHz and one has been dual band. no issues what so ever. My adapter was also close to the router (less than 5 feet away from it).

If I can remember the names I think they were:
Linksys 54G
Linksys E1000
Linksys E3000

Now some Arris TG860 model (bundle with xfinity for Highspeed and phone service)

I'll chime in with another note about dropping sound. I have a D-Link DIR-655 wireless router. Sound drops for about 3-5 seconds every 15 minutes.

Oh cool, good to know for my own personal reference. Again, I listed the models just in case people were interested. Never owned a D-Link router so I can't speak for that model line :(

Great headset.

Pros: Sound quality, surround sound.

Cons: Occasional pops and clicks. Mic could be better, when recording audio in Camtasia, audio is low compared to my other headsets with mic.

Nice deal. Should be on the FP.

I have 12-13 that usually show up in my apartment (besides my own). I had to get a 5ghz adapter for my laptop for any decent data rates/stable connection (obv paired w 5ghz router). The only time I have had issues with a connection with the g930 was when I was at the opposite side of my apartment and I was standing next to the microwave while it was running. Besides that I haven't had any issues

I got these for around $70 from Amazon during BF.

I returned them. I heard popping sounds while listening to music. Apparently several other folks have the same complaint. There is no easy workaround. So I returned them.

I'm looking at these for use with Skype at home ( I also live in an apartment complex and most of the channels have at least 2 routers on them). What I am wondering is, is there an alternative to these that I should be looking at? Wireless and a mic are essential, and it seems like these might be the best option for the money. Any thoughts?

Thanks OP, I'm in for one. Added this to my notification list a couple weeks ago. I'm hoping for the best even though I feel like there's about one poor review for every two or three good reviews. More so with the older reviews.

I have these I bought about a 14 months ago @ $99. Worked great but recently the micro USB port has been shorting out and not taking a charge. I have to jimmy the cable until it charges in the "perfect" position. Really annoying if I'm expecting it to charge overnight only to have it die in the middle of a round.

Even when it's working the connection does drop fairly regularly. I sit right next to the USB dongle so it's not a distance thing. Very annoying. Sometimes the audio would drop completely and I'd have to quit the program and restart.

I can't recommend this for the price their charging and issues experienced. It seems like a question of "when" not "if" you'll run into significant issues with this set. Google issues or "g930 broken" and read all of the issues reported.

How much of an upgrade is this over the Logitech F540 wireless headsets that were recently available at Frys for $50? Wondering if the extra $35 for this is worth it.

I wish I got that one instead of the g930. No charging. No hassles. Plug and play IMO

I love the set, I've had mine since dec and I play dota 2 quite a lot using them. Perfectly comfortable for extended periods of time and just a joy to use. The only problem is the battery dying in the middle of a match and having to plug them in, then again, if they were wired then they'd always need to be plugged.

I've had these for a couple years and use daily. I've been mostly happy with them. Haven't had the channel dying out problem. Mine however have a finicky power button on them that likes to not power them on especially when the charge cord is hooked up. They aren't the most comfortable either but I wear them for 3+hours at a time. My transmitter as 3 feet away from my router and I get no interference. Only interference I get is when I wear them into the kitchen to heat up a hot pocket in the micro.

I likely will go looking for a different set if they ever go bad. I will be sad to lose wireless though.

I have been using these for a few years and love them. No problem with interference or other issues listed here. I walk around my house with these on, doing laundry or listening to podcasts/music without issue. Occasionally the signal drops when I'm 4 rooms away or outside, but overall these are great. Comfy.

Good price.

i wish i could post sooner, but i'd stay away from these... i had them for a month before they started acting really really weird. i've never had a logitech product go bad on me, but i guess all those reviews warning me of the wireless becoming crappy over the course of a few months were true...

Dude the device has a 3 year warranty! I would contact Logitech right away. I had a issue with a battery and they replaced my battery no questions asked and even mailed it to me via 2 day express shipping! Logitech's the best company for warranties usually!

still sad I missed the $70 deal...

Awesome headset!

I like this set for the price point here, however I purchased about 6 mo ago at $99 and couldn't recommend at that price. In my experience the the life of the charge is nowhere near advertised, anytime I go for an extended play session of over 3 hrs they die, then I have to plug in and they're no longer wireless. Also, as mentioned above they will randomly lose the connection and go silent, which is a real PITA in the middle of a round and you have to hit the power button again (and they seem to require you to hold down the power button for random amounts of time in order to switch on, sometimes it's just a tap, others I have to hold it for up to 5 seconds). Other than those complaints, the set sounds great, no issues with the mic, and its probably the most comfortable set I've ever owned.

Picked up a pair. Thanks rep +

I have owned a lot of "mid tier" (~$100) usb headsets, and sadly the mic audio quality is not crystal clear, I would give it a 6 out of 10. The comfort is decent, and these do a pretty good job of blocking extraneous sound. The audio (output) quality is excellent, and the built in buttons/mute (with indicator lite), plus the swivel-boom are excellent. I would love these for the price if the mic quality was as good as my Steelseries 5H-v2.

Great headphones. I've been rocking mine for about 3 months. Going strong. Very comfortable. Buy these now. I bought mine for $99 and I don't regret it a bit.

I bought these when they were about $70 during BF and I can say that so far I'm quite please with how these headphones have held up. I haven't used the mic yet as I tend to be a silent gamer but the sound quality is quite impressive. Playing FPS games, gun shots sound amazing and with the 7.1 channel, determining the directionality of the gun fire helps more than you know. I love the fact that with the wireless function I can get up and go use the restroom or walk to fridge and still be connected to either the game or listening to music without worrying about being in range with the receiver. Since I find myself using this headset for everything more than my Logitech speakers, the 10 hour battery life seems a bit paltry as I get the low battery indicator going off at least once a day.

A couple of concerns would be the swivel points for the ear cups are plastic and seem a bit cheap and I've read that they are a bit fragile so when they are not in use I hang them up on a headphone stand. Another thing is that it requires a little more force than I would have liked to remove the micro usb cord from the charging port. This concerns me as it could cause a short or could damage the pins somewhere down the line.

At the $70-$80 range, I say these are a good investment, especially for the wireless benefit but there are probably several better options for gaming cans if you want to stay corded.

Anyone know a good deal on a headphone holder? Have audiophile headphones and this for gaming now, my g35 broke twice b/c i dont' put them away properly, a nice stand would do me wonders.

Looking at this atm http://www.amazon.com/Headphones-...hone+stand

I own a pair of these as well as a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 pro. Although I love that it's wireless I grab my Sennheiser more for music and movies because of the better sound it produces but the G930 is used during gaming because of the mic. The battery lasts for around 6-7 hours from my experience so if you use it a lot during the day you will need almost daily charging.

Was 70 bucks during blackfriday. I love mine :)

Great deal! Might pick me up an extra one. Sounds real good with 7.1surround have not had any real problems other than drivers were iffy but I think that been taken care of. I've had this for 3 yrs now and quality is good too.

Bought this one sale for like 4 bucks one time.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocke...&cp=1&lp=1

as everyone else has stated. they're heavy and kind of tight. extended use is bleh. if they were as light as the creative fatal1ty's they would be awesome. Then again thats the trade off for wireless.

Tempted to jump on these but I have a fat head :(

Just in case anyone still contemplating, here's my two cents.

Purchase date: June 2012
Purchase Price: $99

I was on the fence about buying these last summer for about two weeks, trying to weight the pros and cons of wireless, but I can certainly say that my purchase was worth it.

The wireless range on these is great when un-disturbed, but goes downhill fast when through a wall or floor.

I have run into issues with the sound cutting out for a couple seconds, maybe two or three times a day, but with the sheer number of wireless devices around me, it's to be expected. And 10 seconds total out of a 16 hour day is hardly an issue.

The rumors of headaches are true (coming from someone who is very prone to them) but it seems the severity differs between people. I only end up with a headache after super-extended gaming sessions (13+ hours).

In terms of size I'd say they are just above average. I wear large hat sizes and it fits snugly. Just enough to keep from sliding off when I lean over to grab something off the floor, but not enough to do the same while bouncing to some music. The ear cups themselves are huge, which is a plus for anyone who wears glasses, as you can keep pressure off of the ear pieces.

Sound quality is average. The virtual 7.1 is enjoyable for gaming in most situations. Not as noticeable in fast-paced action as my 5.1 home theater system but gets the job done when you can't have a bunch of speakers all around you. When my focus moves to music for longer than half an hour, I go back to my ATH-M50s but I still main the g930s in every other situation.

Can't really speak in terms of the mic other than when I ask friends on Vent, they tell me that I don't have any background noise. When not using push to talk, the auto-mute feature (push the mic up next to your head rather than in front of your mouth) is really useful, though I have had it malfunction before (such as stay muted even after pulling it down) but only a handful of times since purchase.

The charge seems to last forever. When the driver utility pops up saying I've got less than an hour remaining I can usually ignore it for a while as they will still last another two or three hours. If I let it charge overnight I can usually go through one extended gaming session without charging, or two to three days of casual weekday use. Though I can't say the battery is anywhere near my DR-BT50s, but bluetooth is only useful for certain situations, so I don't even bother connecting those to my PC.



Wellp, that's it for me. I tried to be objective and list both the pros and cons of the different aspects of the headset but who knows, I may have just spewed opinion the entire time (Its nearly 4am and I'm tired). Hope this helps someone make a decision one way or the other.

Thats not a problem with these. Melon here :lol:

A lot of people use this. Seriously lol

http://www.amazon.com/Spectrum-Di...2DITX4VHDS

Hope you weren't just kidding, in for 1. :lol:

to anyone having charge issues, mine have lasted many days with 3-4 hours daily, I would see about your warranty because I was surprised how long the charge holds without plugging in.

after a while, like people said, they start to bug you but are pretty awesome if you dont go longer than 3-4 hours.

Bought these about a month ago for $115 and love them! Mic works fantastically, and the 7.1 sound is great. Plus, Amazon just gave me a price match and refunded me the $30 difference! Woohooo! Thank you!

Note: I also have a fat head. 7 3/4 with fitted hats. These fit comfortably.

For those complaining about not being audiophile quality and stuff... I want to point out that it is a surround sound gaming headset.

I have the 35 and love it, only down side (especially if you wear glasses) is that the covering on the ear piece pads starts flaking off. You end up with black stuff all over the side of your face. It's a well known issue. Also, Logitech doesn't sell replacements for them, which is ridiculous.

Been using these for over a year for $100 and I love them. Great sound and comfortable to wear for long periods at a time. Great price.

Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 $85
 

http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wi...gitech+930

It is actually $80.74

My nephew was begging me to get him a gaming headset, at first he wanted the V Moda m100 which costs $300 but then I showed him this and he said okay :)..kids..they don't know the meaning of a slick deal :P

back up to 84.99

i dont get the importance of wireless gaming headset. who really gets out of their set while gaming.

People with mandatory post-round victory dances [youtube.com] obviously. :nod:

Just an FYI, the microphone on this is a POS. There is NO noise cancelling (even though they advertise it as a feature) and people on the other end will hear constant static and popping in the background. I wouldn't buy another set at any price.

I've seen similar complaints that fixed the problem by reducing mic gain. Don't know if it'll work for you, but worth a try. The static and popping unfortunately is more likely interference.

These are comfortable and block external noise well. I get up from my chair frequently and prefer wireless, even though I would never go with a wireless mouse or keyboard.

I began having problems with the current Logitech drivers (I'm Windows 7, 64bit). I found a legacy driver, one without that Logitech tray icon. Things work perfectly now, especially with dual aux outputs, games booting smoothly whereas they weren't before, the audio slider is no longer crashing...

I paid 70 but would still recommend these at 85.

These headphones are fantastic. I have the G35 wired versions but they're basically the same thing.
I'm also really into music, so I also own B&W P5's, a Schiit combo and AKG K242's, soon to upgrade to HE-400's.

Yet I still picked up these headphones because they stand in a class of their own.

You can't compare audiophile sets to gaming headsets. They're completely built for separate things. It's like comparing a hummer to some BMW 7-series. The BMW does great on the track, but the hummer will do great in harsh terrain.

Rough comparison, but these headphones utilize the 7.1 surround sound system beautifully, for watching movies on my laptop and especially for FPS games where sound direction is extremely important to get a slight edge in combat.
The microphone is also wonderful- it lowers the ambient noise (I use them in a constantly loud setting) and my girlfriend can hear me perfectly fine via skype.

The headphones are also comfortable- I have used them on a daily basis for the past three months from anywhere ranging from 8-13 hours. No head discomfort (though the ears can get warm, and the hair matted with prolonged use, as is to be expected). The wire is great quality, reinforced with corded nylon which has saved me several times. It's long, but you can wrap it up easily.

I bought my G35 used/like new for $60 back in November and it's one of my favorite purchases. It does decently with music, but this isn't its main attraction. For heavy gamers this is the ultimate headset.

Been waiting to take the leap on these, thanks for posting!

Good set, and don't be stingy asking for a new one if you think it's dysfunctional. My first set had trouble connecting to the dongle regardless of how close it was. I thought it was just interference with all the other 2.4 band stuff in my apartment (and other apartments) but to be safe I exchanged it. I'm glad I did as I didn't have any problems with the other set. Just make sure you have the latest logitech software as well.

Does anyone know if I can PM to staples.com and use the 25 off 75 coupon from the mailer?

Fry's electronics and Best buy price matches amazon and newegg so keep that in mind if you don't want to wait and have to pay tax either way.

also make sure you register your product with logitech or keep the receipt for warranty date purposes.

Would of gone that route except BB PM change isn't official until March 3 :(

I think gamers are buying these because it's wireless and has a microphone. Plus playing games in surround sound vs stereo is quite a different experience as well.

But sure, for music there are much better options.

ah my mistake.

I think people are dramatically overestimating the "surround sound" headphone gimmick. The headphones I talked about, the AD700s, produce a wider soundstage than these "surround sound" headphones. Locational accuracy is higher with quality stereo headphones than gimmicky 5.1/7.1. I absolutely guarantee it, as would any review. There just isn't a comparison.

I have agreed many times that the wireless functionality is a big draw, and I understand that appeal, but any quality stereo headphone will destroy these not JUST for music, but ALSO for gaming. I am saying this speaking as a competitive first person shooter gamer who has owned countless sets of headphones over the last 15-20 years. Any time I've gone with anything "gamer" branded or 5.1/7.1, I have seriously regretted it. Sound quality and build quality were not up to par.

Do a bit of googling on headphones like the AD700s and you'll see that high quality stereo blows away "surround sound" headphones in every regard, including gaming and soundstage/audio location cues. I'm not making this up to crap on your headphones, I just want people to understand that the wireless functionality is the only reason to pick this up. For the money, the sound quality on these just isn't there.

Although I understand where you're coming from, your rant would work better in a thread attracting people in the market for a wired set.


That aside, I received this in the mail today. My wired set does sound better than the G930, but after tweaking them a bit I find them good enough to make the G930 my primary set. Obviously preferences will vary, but if you're looking for a wireless set these are definitely viable. Very happy with my purchase.

This isn't just a wireless headset, though. This is also marketed as a gaming headset. My criticisms come from the perspective of a heavy PC gamer. As someone who depends on quality sound cues to compete in online video games, these headphones are not as up to snuff as many in the price range. Not even close.

So if you are a competitive gamer looking for a set of headphones in a $100 price range, you might be fooled into thinking these wireless cans are a dream come true. That is the kind of gamer that my comments are directed toward, because you are not going to get anywhere near $100 worth of soundstage out of these.

If you are only interested in the fact that these are wireless headphones, then yeah this is a good price for this particular set. But there are about a dozen sets of wireless headphones around the same price that would sound just as good, making this deal not as warm as the "gamer" marketing would have you believe.

But if you are a competitive gamer looking for wireless headphones specifically for competitive gaming (as these are marketed), then these only meet the wireless criteria and are actually quite lackluster in the gaming department. And, perhaps more importantly, their quality control is also under question as failure rates for the right earpiece and microphone are higher than they should be for a peripheral in this price range.

So I just got these, and the sound quality is really awful. I'm thinking about returning them.

Edit: flicking the surround swtich to off fixed it.

Glad to hear you found an acceptable solution. My experience with "5.1" headsets (whether they claim it as a function of hardware or software) has been similar: stereo is just better at everything, including soundstage/positional accuracy. And now you have the added bonus of being able to listen to music/podcasts/have a conversation via VOIP while you take a dump! Niiiice.

If you want to use the surround feature double check the source is putting out surround sound. If you turn on surround and the source is stereo the result will definitely sound bad.

Haha, yeah all of this is true so far.

I tried watching a movie with 5.1 DTS audio last night, and I still think stereo sounded better. Everything sounds really hallow with surround.
