The Logitech G930 Wireless are good gaming headphones with an above-average sound and low latency. They have a good microphone that filters a lot of noise, and they're fairly well built and comfortable with programmable buttons that gives them a lot more customization options than other gaming headsets. However, they're not versatile enough for outdoor use unlike some of the other gaming headphones we've tested. They're also less breathable than the Logitech G430, but they're wireless and have better software support.
Our Verdict
The Logitech G930 are primarily a gaming headphone. They have an above average sound and low latency. They're a decent option for critical listening and great for watching movies. However, they do not block noise well and are not portable enough for commuting or sports.
- Above-average sound quality.
- Low latency for gaming and home theater.
- Good active features and app support.
- Above-average mic performance.
- Subpar noise isolation.
- Bulky and cumbersome design.
- Bass delivery varies significantly across users. Sensitive to glasses.
Above-average for neutral listening. They have a decently balanced audio reproduction with a pronounced bass range that doesn't overpower instruments and vocals. However, there is a dip in the high frequencies that results in a slight loss of clarity, especially for some lead instruments. Their frequency response also varies a bit from user to user and may lose a significant amount of bass if your glasses break the seal, the ear cups create around your ears.
Mediocre-at-best for commuting. They have to be within range of the USB transmitter which is very limiting for commuting. They also do not block much noise and aren't made to be used with mobile devices. However, on a plane, train or a long bus ride, you may be able to use them with your laptop or tablet.
Below-average for sports. The G930 are bulky and not as breathable as headphones specifically made for sports. They also have to be in range of their USB transmitter which means you won't be able to use them outdoors effectively.
Decent for office use. The Logitech G930 headset has great customization features, and these headphones are comfortable enough to wear for long hours. They can also charge while in use. However, they leak a bit at higher volumes and, unfortunately, do not block a lot of noise, so they won't be ideal if you have a lively or noisy office environment.
The G930 are good gaming headphones. They have a great software for Windows and MacOS that gives them a lot of customization options. They have very low latency which is essential for gaming, above-average sound, and a decent mic that filters a lot of noise but doesn't always accurately reproduce your voice. However, they're not the most breathable headphones so your ears will get a little hot after a couple of hours of gaming.
