Our Verdict
Logitech G430
Logitech G433
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.
