The G430 package is fairly basic — you get the headset and a small USB adapter, and that’s it. The headset itself has a non-detachable microphone and a simple inline control on the cord that toggles volume and microphone mute only. There are no adjustable straps, no additional inline control panel attachments, and no other input adapters.<\/p>
For me, the basics were all I needed. I tested the headphones on a variety of games, and came away generally impressed — audio comes through crisp and clear, and the headphones deliver on their promise of 7.1 surround sound with surprising accuracy. While I primarily connected the headset to my PC with the USB adapter, I also switched out to test the 3.5mm inputs I noticed no difference. <\/p>

Although the headset’s microphone doesn’t offer studio quality recording capabilities, it’s more than passable for Skype conversations or voice chat. Tests on Skype, Mumble, Google Hangouts, and a number of in-game chat services produced easy-to-hear conversations with no static or cutting out. Physically, the headset’s microphone is a little thick, but also rather flexible, and can be turned upwards out of the way.<\/p>
I initially found the G430s to be on the heavy side. Most of the headsets I’ve used in the past have been on the lighter side, and I was at first experiencing mild head and neck pain related to the headset’s weight after about an hour of use. However, after roughly two weeks, I appear to have adjusted, and can now wear them for hours at a time with little to no discomfort. The headband and over-the-ear cans are both padded with breathable cloth-covered foam, and while the headset is a bit tight, even after adjustments (people with huge heads beware), the headband and cans never caused discomfort.<\/p>
Overall, the G430s are a solid buy at $79.99, and can compete with headphones that are significantly more expensive. They may take a little bit of time to get used to wearing, especially if you have a bigger-than-average head, but provide significant value at a very reasonable price.<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":153203,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[1309,158,1107,188],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":158,"display_name":"Aerox","user_login":"Aerox","user_nicename":"aerox"}],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
