this video is brought to you by NCI XCOM great technology selection and service when it comes to gaming headsets I've always been skeptical as the selling point many of the times isn't audio but flashy packaging and weird headset design that would make you question quality of the audio luckily gaming companies are now realizing the need to step up their game and I'm happy to say that as a gamer today you have far better heads and options than a year ago thanks to this merge of good quality audio drivers proper software support and extra functionality for games all of which are found on the new Logitech G 633 gaming headset so the G 633 is actually a unique headset because despite having this gaming centric physical design it delivers quite well in the audio department notice the lighting sections of the headset that include illuminated G and this strip on the back of the headset of course there is zero functionality in the RGB lighting on a headphone but as gaming companies enter eSports arena with sponsorships this is an effective way to build brand recognition Plus imagine if a team member dies light goes off or health status is color coded or even perhaps lighting interacts with music or the gaming environment as of now the user is still limited to solid color breathing or the cycling effect now the sliding on the sides and back will be visible for spectators only without creating any unwanted reflections on your screen it is vibrant and RGB so you can color match to your other peripherals and that is of course appreciate it the build quality here may appear to be weak just because the headset is extremely light and it's mainly plastic with the metal headband and the ear cups are pretty loose which I don't find amusing but keep in mind perception of weight does not equal quality build I actually like what Logitech has done here giving us a lightweight frame with better grade screws and extra plated plastics so to be worn for hours at a time without causing any headband fatigue nor settling any pressure anywhere the ear cushions are perfect for exactly that with non irritating and pleasant to the touch fabric that is washable plus they are deep enough so your ears don't make any contact with the internal drive wall and they allow you to breathe that's important I went for an eight-hour day wearing the G 633 that let my ears breathe and most importantly this over ear design is done right for a comfortable experience for extra customization the side plates are magnetic and that's removable you can see the illumination here that would let users 3d print their own plates and allow Logitech to release title specific editions this headset on left ear cup we have several buttons that at first I thought I would never use and this is completely pointless but they are actually quite handy from the bottom we have a volume wheel that has very light steps but allows either really fast volume change or precise and two-step intervals followed by a dedicated mic mute button that you cannot remap and I find that pointless as the mic is muted when in the upright position and I find simply tucking away the microphone is easier than having to reach all the way back to press the mic mute button while we're on the microphone it is stashed away on the left and features extra extendable reach with the flexible cable there is a red LED on the side to indicate when the microphone is muted and it's perfectly visible within your peripheral vision and here's what the microphone actually sounds like you're listening to it now there is an ability to enable side tone which allows you to hear yourself in-game which I love I hate not hearing myself as I speak inside the game when everything and all the audio is blasting in the headphone and you can actually control the volume of the side tone or disable it completely and you can map that also to the gee-gees which i've done and is super useful probably the only fault of this microphone is the noise cancellation you can hear exactly what I'm typing and in game that will be also audible and this entire microphone recording has been unedited there is no sound effects applied to it so you can hear exactly what it sounds like then we have three g keys that are programmable to anything you want like enabling 7.1 surround sound changing EQ settings switching between color profiles and your sound profiles and etc I left them at their default functionality as they were never used during my game time just because my left hand is on a keyboard and taking that off to fiddle around the buttons on the headset means losing that precious time off the keyboard so they were left at their default setting but for productivity on the desktop it's actually quite handy for media controls like play pause without having to reach for the keyboard now unfortunately despite having different shaped keys for easier distinction they are so close together that even after trying to learn where those G keys are I always press the wrong one and finally at the very top is a switch between PC or 3.5 millimeter jack as the headset can either be used in the USB mode or use the second provided cable for analog mode that has an inline remote with a short clip with play/pause functionality the volume adjust mic mute and your choice of microphones to use pretty handy little inline remote but given how bulky the headset is I doubt it will be used outside of the home for music listening but of course to each their own and that is an option and I also love the foldable feature that allows the headset to rest around your neck without any movement restrictions and because of this I kept the headset around my neck more times when not in use rather than put it off me and onto the desk so now for sound quality let's talk about that this has become my go-to headset for gaming because Logitech has done a fantastic job with the pro G drivers that use a hybrid mesh for the driver cone to eliminate frequency distortions with excellent clear highs controlled base that feels powerful and non-destructive for the mid-range if pushed higher the stereo projection is beautiful and allows detection of any surround elements in game this is a csgo dreamer plus enabling surround sound mixer you have an option of DTS X with three room profiles that fine-tune the EQ for either movie playback fps or music studio with either front or wide stereo mode that modify the soundstage with great results and enabling Dolby surround sound just expands the soundstage even further but I found it to completely remove any accurate positional awareness in games and I did not use it at all stick to the stereo profile for best detail and if you want to set a custom EQ profile that are really good for what they are designed to do but of course full manual EQ is available once add the new EQ profile and the launch the gaming software is actually one of the best with user-friendly tabs and options so just make sure you stick to 48 kilohertz or below to utilize all these options and so the Logitech G 633 is one of the best gaming headsets on the market right now that sounds fantastic with great microphone and a comfy and the $150 price tag is a bit high but you won't need to upgrade for a while and we're giving it the Harbour Canucks game reward and that is it for this
