Our Verdict
Corsair HS50
Logitech G432
The Logitech G432 are better gaming headphones than the Corsair HS50 thanks to their boom mic's very good recording quality. The Logitech have a companion customization software, which the Corsair doesn’t have. On the other hand, the Corsair is noticeably better built and more durable than the Logitech, on top of having a slightly more accurate sound right out of the box. You can’t EQ the Corsair, but you can detach their microphone, which makes them a bit more outdoor-friendly.
