Our Verdict

Logitech G430

Corsair HS50

The Corsair HS50 are better gaming headphones than the Logitech G430. The Corsair feel sturdier due to the dense plastic and metal build of the headphones. The Logitech feels very flimsy, and the microphone can’t be detached to give them a more outside-friendly look. On the other side, the Logitech is compatible with the Logitech Gaming Software, which is one of the desktop apps that offers the most amount of control and customization options.
