    Can I hear myself Logitech g430?
    logifan
    over 1 year ago
    In the Logitech gaming software move the PM speaker bar to the lowest level. The lowest level means you can't hear your voice playing back through your Logitech G430 headset, but the audience can hear you. The highest level suggests that you can hear yourself play back through the microphone.

    Yes, there's a volume dial on the back of the left headphone to adjust your listening volume, and flipping the attached microphone up vertically will mute it.

    The Logitech G430 Headset Driver for Windows helps your headset work on your PC. It is an important piece of equipment that allows you to use all the features on your headset. You need it to get the most out of your headset and to take advantage of its settings.

    Is logitech g430 good?
    davis_bartoletti
    about 2 years ago
    The Logitech G430 is a set of above-average gaming headphones with a good-enough sound for critical listening. The headset offers comfort, a decently clear microphone, and a good amount of noise isolation. However, it's not very versatile and its ear cups may be too small for some users.

    Can logitech g430 work with xbox one?
    sharie
    about 2 years ago
    The Logitech G430 can be used with both PC and Xbox One gaming systems. To connect the headset to the Xbox One, use the 3.5mm audio jack on the G432 and the 3.5mm audio jack on the Xbox One. Plug the 3.5mm audio jack on the G432 into the 3.5mm audio jack on the Xbox One, and then plug in a USB cable into your console.

Logitech G430 7.1 Review - Surround Gaming Headset

It’s finally here. After being blown away by the stereo audio peformance on the crimson-clad G230 headphones from Logitech, we’re back with the 7.1 surround version. They’re not colored in the same sexy red-on-black motif. But these new Logitech G430 Dolby surround headphones are immensely impressive–though they could benefit from a more original styling. Big brothers tend to stomp and pout when made to wear lil’ bro’s hand-me-ups. But they offer enhanced sound and features in a very familiar package. […]
