What is Reddit's opinion of Logitech Gaming Headset G330 - Headset (behind-the-neck) with USB Adapter?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Lots of useful information. I'm going to get xbox one controller working with windows 7, 8, 8.1. Is it possible to plug into controller logitech headset with usb plug? or it has to be 3.5mm mini-jack? Im using windows 7 if it matters.

I've had the Logitech G330 for about 5 years now, and I still can't get over how amazing the mic quality is. The noise cancelling on it is absolutely insane. I'll have someone about 2-3 feet away from me and anyone on the other side of the mic has no idea who I'm talking to.

This is a behind-the-ears headset though, which understandably may be a turn off for many people.

I've had a Logitech g330 for about a year. (amazon link: Logitech G330)

I dislike the headphones that completely cover my ears because they get sweaty or something.

Kinda suprised the Logitech G330's weren't mentioned.

Very comfortable, great quality for both input and output, ability to chose between analog and usb input, and inline volume control/mute switch.

Awesome headset, especially for the price. If you prefer lower profile and the behind the head style of headset you can't go wrong with these.

i just bought a headset myself. i bought the logitech g330 after seeing what reddit thought of the company. its pretty good, you can use either the headphone/microphone jacks or a USB port. if you use the headphone/microphone jack, the sound will come from your soundcard. if you use the USB port, theres a sound card inside the g330 which will be used. i have a built-in soundcard on my dell motherboard from over 2 years ago, so by using the USB port produces better quality sound for me. the microphone is very good quality. its also a behind the head headset. looking on amazon its currently around $35.

I've used this for years now on both my PC and PS3. Great sound quality and comfy, better yet it's inexpensive. It's wired though, aside from that, it's a great headset.

what are you looking for? simply headphones, or a headset with a mic built in? and i've never had any issues with cheap mics, two of them have lasted 10 years. is it properly boosted?

edit: didn't realize macs don't have the +20db boost, you'll probably need a usb headset or mic for it to work well. this is the most economical i've found so far

I think Logitech makes a few different ones.

Yea, their like unicorns. I found one but it looks like its a discontinued model and it's way too expensive. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Gaming-Headset-behind-neck/dp/B002I3OZB2

Couple questions / etc for any audio gurus out there. I only use earbud headphones. The in-ear ones that block outside noise. I like them. I've used them for years and years. I can't use the big can headphones that go on your head or over your ears because they start to feel like a vice / clamp on my head after about 10min. I've tried dozens of them, I want to like them, but I can't. And I never will. So I stick with earbuds.

Anyway, wondering if anyone has suggestions for a mic setup for earbuds. I've used a Logitech desktop mic but it's not great. I run an air conditioner in my room and the Logitech desktop mic picks up a lot of background noise and nobody can hear me unless I lean in and talk directly in to it. I bought a Zalman clip-on but it doesn't work with the earbuds I have. The earbuds I have use a flat cable, so the Zalman can't clip onto it. I've used various over-the-heard headphones (such as this or this and just worn them over the earbuds, and they're tolerable, but by no means comfortable.

Also, would a DAC work just as well for earbuds? Currently I use an old sound card I got a long time ago. Although I'm sure it's not great, it's much, much better than the on-board audio of my motherboard.

These are the earbuds I have. They're not the best, but I think they sound good. Anyway, thanks anyone for any comments/suggestions.

There you go mate

• Budget - $100-300, for total purchase

• Source - Laptop(s), desktop(s), phone(s)

• Requirements for Isolation - Closed, out in public as well as a busy office.

• Other -

So enabling the other person to hear me clearly as well as clear sound has become a priority for me. I'm not a big fan of monstrous 'gaming headsets' even though they offer a majority of the features that I want.

While researching ways to have a good quality headset AND microphone I came across ModMic which seems to be a really great compromise. Quality headphones and a quality microphone, but now you have two wires instead of one. There are alternatives to that like the V-Moda Boompro but you're still stuck with a wired solution.

That led me to alternatives like Outdoor Tech's ADAPT. Again, gives me choice of quality hardware but now I don't need (too many) wires. It's not a boom mic but that's the tradeoff.

(Also looked at things like IEMs and a throat mic, but that's crazy talk!)

After looking at the Headphone Quick Sheet I've mostly liked the Sennheiser HD449 / HD280 PRO and the Shure SRH840.

I would like to find a good balance between all of my wants. I would also like a carrying case to keep it all in. Thank you for any help!

Is the Logitech G330 any good? I'm looking for a headset which doesn't have those leathery hollow ear pads (ie most headsets) because they tend to give me headaches. This is one of the few headsets with simple ear pads which have gotten pretty good reviews. I currently have a Creative HS-390. Do you think the Logitech is better please? Thanks.

Ah, k, was just guessing.

Have you ever had it be able to split the sounds? The only way I could ever get it to work using vent was with a usb headset(which is pretty much just a usb soundcard tied to a headset), so if you are trying to use two outputs on the same soundcard, that would probably explain it.

You can pick up some cheap usb converters if you look around and actually care about it enough.

The G330 comes with one, or there are hundreds of cheap usb soundcards that would work.
