Logitech G933

The G933s are huge. They’re comfy, but by god, are they big! On top of that, they’re a little too flexible. Thanks to that rather skinny headband, and an overall plastic build, the fear of snapping them is all too real.

Plugged in via a 3.5mm jack only, and ensuring the headset is switched off (turning the headset on enables an audio equaliser inside the drivers), brings us in line with exactly what we would expect a gaming headset with these kind of specs to sound like. With the equaliser switched off, the G933s are incredibly bass-heavy, but the mids are a little damp, and the overall height of the treble feels a bit reduced. Unless, of course, you switch on the headset, in which case they were just a little subpar.

That said, it was still an enjoyable experience listening to metal or heavier music genres — however, they did have a habit of losing the crispness on the top end. Gaming was good fun as well. The bass was heavy, and the necessary treble and mids required to provide a rich soundscape shone through just enough to illuminate the gunshots, laser fire, and explosions in Star Citizen.

Ultimately, the G933 Artemis Spectrum is not meant to be used this way. It’s a wireless headset — at worst, USB.

With the headset switched on, there’s plenty of audio balancing going on internally to ensure a solid soundscape. But for the price, you’re limited by it, and you still have to plug them into a DAC to get anywhere near as good a sound quality as some of the other units we tested.
