The detachable microphone on the G733 didn't blow us away but sounded on par with the Astro A20 wireless gaming headset which we recently reviewed. Again though, when massive shootouts and explosions did break out, I just wasn't getting the kick I wanted. It was neat to play the Miami stage in Hitman 2 and hear all the ambient conversations all around me as I was trying to sabotage an F1 race car to explode on the race track in order to assassinate my target. I'm not the biggest fan of surround sound in headphones, but these managed to impress even me-especially at this price.

On the plus side, the G733 offers pretty awesome multi-channel and DTS Super Stereo settings. Over the last weekend I played the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War beta and the over-exaggerated bass made firefights sound really odd even when the Bass Boost Preset is turned on.

One of the more useful elements of the G-Hub is the user-created sound and visual profiles you can browse through if you really don't like creating your own.Īs far as gaming and music are concerned, the first thing that sticks out is the muddledness of bass-heavy tracks in my go-to Bass Arcade playlist on Spotify. From here, you can tweak your acoustics, RGB, and add silly microphone filters.

Speaking of which, G-Hub is slowly becoming my favorite out of the half dozen hardware customization apps out there. Another benefit of turning off the RGB was it gave a near 30 hours of battery life. Thankfully, I was able to turn off the RGB via the Logitech G-Hub app which was the only way I could actually use this headset without driving myself mad. I found it tough to focus on anything I was doing since I kept seeing lights in the corner of my eyes. The problem is that if you are wearing glasses (particularly larger frames), you can catch the reflection of the RGB lights in your glasses, which makes for a painfully distracting user experience. At a glance, the RGB on the front makes the headset pop, especially if you're a streamer and want to add a bit of fun to your look.

The real issue I have with the G733's design comes in the placement of the vertical RGB light strip on the front side of the headset's ear cups. The lightweight (278g) design comes courtesy of the headset's hard plastic and stretchy fabric headband.
