The Logitech G433 are a good gaming headset, with a well-balanced sound, and a versatile design for everyday use. They have a detachable mic, a regular aux cable, as well as a USB/headset dongle for PCs. They're a lot more practical to use outdoors than other gaming headsets, and the boom mic is great for gaming and making calls. They're comfortable and decently well built but aren't the most portable since they don't fold. They also do not block a lot of noise.
Our Verdict
Good for neutral listening. They have a surprisingly well-balanced audio reproduction and they're decently comfortable to wear for extended listening sessions. They cater well to instruments and vocals with a good representation of the mid-range and a relatively balanced treble. They also have good bass but it's dependent on the fit and seal they create around your ears. Some listeners who wear glasses will have some consistency issues with the bass range. Their soundstage is also not ideal since they have a closed-back design.
- Negligible latency.
- Good sound and microphone quality.
- Comfortable and breathable design.
- Poor noise isolation.
- High leakage.
- Bass delivery varies significantly across users. Sensitive to glasses.
Poor for commuting. Although their closed-back, casual design is better suited for commuting than other gaming headsets, if you use the default pads, they won't isolate enough for loud environments. This means you will hear most of the noise on your commute unless you play your music at high volumes.

Average office use. They don't block a lot of noise so you will hear what's going on around you and they also leak quite a bit so they may distract your colleagues.

This wired gaming headset can't be used wirelessly.
Good for gaming. The Logitech G433 have a good sound, a great mic, and a wired design with low latency. They're also comfortable and breathable so you can wear them for long gaming sessions without much fatigue. Unfortunately, their wired design means they're not as convenient as the other wireless gaming headsets we've tested since the audio cable doesn't have a lot of range.

The Logitech G433 have a versatile casual design that makes them a lot more suitable to use outdoors with your phone than most gaming headsets. They're some of the best closed-back headphones we've tested in this price range. They have a good mic and a surprisingly well-balanced frequency response which also makes them a good choice for critical listening. They won't be as convenient as some of the wireless gaming headsets but for their price, few headphones can match their performance.

The Logitech G433 are better gaming headphones than the Logitech G430. The G433 model is compatible with the new G HUB app, which is one of the most complete and useful gaming software we’ve seen so far. The G433 also has a noticeably better microphone quality and a slightly less plasticky build quality. Overall, both headsets offer great value, but if you play a lot of online games with friends, the G433 might be a better option.
The Logitech G433 feel better made than the Logitech G432 and they have a more accurate sound out-of-the-box. However, you can EQ both headphones easily inside their app. There’s not much of a difference between these two headsets other than their style, as they perform fairly similarly across our testing procedure.
The Logitech G433 and the Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset are both very good wired gaming headsets, with the biggest difference between the two being their designs. The G Pro X have a much sleeker, more modern look. They're made with more premium materials and are also more comfortable. Both models otherwise perform quite similarly overall, although the G433 do have an edge in microphone performance.
The Logitech G433 are better headphones for gaming, especially on PCs, than the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1. While both headphones are comfortable, the Logitech have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer, a better soundstage to help immerse you in your audio, and a better overall microphone performance. They also have companion software, which offers a graphic EQ and presets to help you customize their sound to your liking, and you can use them analog or wired USB. However, the SteelSeries are better built.
