I've updated my review today, July 3, 2015, which is about 1 year and 9 months later.
________________________________________________________________________________
Pros
-Wireless is freedom
-Comfy
-Audio is comparable to $200 and even $300 headphones
-Built in Sidetone
-Mic is clear and crisp
Cons
-Plastic body is not sturdy enough
-Sidetone will reset to 0 upon wireless signal loss
-I've gotten a couple of lemons that I will talk about more specifically
-Logitech support takes a while to get back to you
So I have a lot of feelings about this headset. Let's start with the audio quality (that you will hear). I personally can't say that I am an audiophile, but I have tried to delve into the world of audiophiles. I bought an AKG K7xx which is a $200 set of headphones. Linus from LinusTechTips claimed that the AKG K7xx sounds very, VERY similar to the Sennheiser HD600 (which costs $320 today, July 3, 2015 on Amazon). The reason I am mentioning this is because I can't really tell the difference between the AKG K7xx and the Logitech G930. Let me also add that I really dislike the surround sound and NEVER use it.
Next let's move on to the mic quality. I really like it. I talk with a number of different people online and they all use various different microphones. Some of them use cheap desktop mics, some use Kingston HyperX Clouds, some use modmics, some use xbox 360 mics connected to xbox 360 controllers, and one other person uses the Logitech G930. I have to say, the friend with the Logitech G930 is my favorite listen to. There's no annoying static in the background, it sounds crisp and perfect for chatting. I wouldn't say its great for Youtube videos or Podcasting, but it would be satisfactory. If you already own a high quality microphone, the G930 make a good pair of wireless headphones. If you're a person who *needs* sidetone, you can even use the G930 mic for just the sidetone while you use a different mic for recording.
Now it's time to talk about wireless. There are reviews on this item that complain about the wireless being bad and it disconnecting often. I feel like those people got the defective units. The reason I say that is because when I first bought the headset it worked fine, hardly any loss of signal. Then at one point it physically broke and I had to warranty it. When I got a replacement unit, I was getting SO MANY wireless disconnects. It was unreal. I would get like one every ten minutes. Again, through the warranty, I got another replacement and that unit worked perfectly fine.
There is a wireless router in my home and it doesn't affect my headset's signal. I can even leave my room and walk around my home and still use this headset. I can go to almost every room in my house and maintain the signal. The exceptions are the basement (two floors down) and a few corner rooms. I can even keep the signal on my porch steps.
Build quality is, in my opinion, the most disappointing part about this product. It's pretty flimsy plastic. It flexes as you put it on your head and you can hear it creak as you move it around. I've had *three separate G930's* where the plastic broke in such a way that rendered the headset unwearable. Once on the upside down "Y" that holds the earpiece and twice on the hinge that connects that upside "Y" to the top headband. I almost want to mod it myself and fortify it with metal because I love this headset but it's not sturdy enough. Let me also add some context: I am a heavy user of this headset. I wear it anywhere from 2-6 hours a day (very rough estimate) so maybe a light user won't have it break as easily.
You may have noticed that I've had multiple headsets of this model. I have only bought one. That is because this unit comes with a 3 year manufacturer's warranty (or 2 if I read it wrong). I've RMA'd it four times in the past and I am currently waiting on Logitech support to get back to me so I can RMA it again. They've covered it when the plastic breaks and they've covered it when I got a lemon (defective unit). They even pay the shipping fee to send the item from you to them and then back. Those things alone are great in terms of customer support. However they do sometimes really confuse me. I say this because sometimes it takes forever for them to get back to you. Sometimes they respond to warrantly claims on their site within 2 business days. Sometimes they respond to you in a week. I've even had them respond to me in as much as 3 weeks. That does sound kind of inconvenient but that's not even the worst of it. On one of my RMA's they wouldn't even respond to my online account and I had to call them a few times. So with all that being said, it's good and bad, but they definitely have pulled through for me.
Let me tell you, this headset is comfy! I can happily wear it for extended periods of time. Not having to deal with wires is a *Godsend.* Whenever I am forced to use a different headset there will be times when the headset wire get's caught under my chair wheel or on the armrest and it's really annoying. With wireless, I even walk around my house while chatting! If I wanted to go grab a drink, I could. If I wanted to watch a movie in bed at night without bothering others, I could! If I wanted to play a console in the living room, I could! With the appropriate setup I even feed console audio into the headset, which is amazing I might add.
Battery life is good enough. Just plug it in when you aren't using it. If you forget to, just plug it in while you use it.
The software is meh. I have a big gripe about it specifically. The gripe is that in the event the headset loses signal, the sidetone resets to 0. I absolutely HATE that. I hate the feeling when I sound muffled and sidetone makes it so I don't sound muffled. There isn't anything that can be done about this aside from opening the software and resetting the sidetone slider. There have been other users who also posted numerous times on the Logitech forums and in emails, but unfortunately it seems that Logitech just doesn't care about this problem.
My preferred setup nowadays is to use the Logitech G930 as wireless headphones. I use a Blue Yeti mic for pretty much everything but I still have the G930 mic in place so I can have sidetone. I have a $200 AKG set of headphones as backup (which I plan to use when the G930 breaks). It's gonna suck when the warranty runs out. I will then have to make a decision. Try to find a better wireless headset, or just buy another G930 and deal with RMA's.
