Our Verdict
Logitech G432
Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless
The Logitech G432 and the Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless have different strengths, and you may prefer either one. While both headphones are comfortable and have similarly fair build qualities, the G432 are wired gaming headphones with a significantly better overall boom mic performance. They also have a companion app that offers a graphic EQ and presets so that you can adjust their sound to your liking. However, the G435 are wireless gaming headphones designed for users with smaller heads. They support Bluetooth, which is good if you want to connect them to your smartphone.
