This Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum 981-000585 gaming headset features 7.1 Dolby Surround Sound and Pro-GTM drivers, so you can experience rich, immersive audio for your games and music. A noise-canceling microphone lets you communicate with other players.
So I want to start by saying this is simply an awesome headset hands down the best I have used thus far. I have used the G930s for the last 2 years and have really enjoyed them, after a pleasurable experience with them I could wait to see what Logitech produced next.
I read all of these reviews previous to buying the headset and noticed right off the bat that the people that were writing the reviews must not be able to read instructions. The part I am talking about is that you need to download the logitech gaming software to get these puppies fully operational (all clearly displayed in instructions), however unfortunately these horrible people are giving this new product a bad name because they refuse to be an intelligent being. Alright that is it for my rant...
Gaming: WOAH, some of these gun shots sound like they are right there behind me in my room, if you are looking for true immersion throw these guys over your ears and let them suck you in. I tested a few different games with the headset. First was Battlefield 4, countless times I hear the enemy trying to sneak up on me but I heard his footsteps first so I could get him first, truly a game changer. The G933s make you feel like you are on the battlefield, explosions go off with absolutely no distortion and I like to play them LOUD. Next game I played was ARK (a primitive survival game). I was pleased with the performance but did not notice to many differences from my previous G930 headset. Since this game doesnt really involve and crazy explosions or fast paced action the G933s seemed a bit overkill.
Music: So as I said before I like things to be REALLY loud and that goes for my music too. first thing I tested was the most bass intensive song I could find, bass boost it more, max volumes and play it. My ears were literally shaking within the muffs. The sound was so crystal clear and absolutely no distortion from heavy bass hits.
Compared the previous G930s to the G933s: So in my opinion (20 year old hardcore gamer with a $5k rig) the G933s are worth the expensive price tag. But are going to be truly unnecessary for most people in every department except for bass distortion and connection it seems the new G933s are only slightly better. I would advise checking out the G930s first for most people. The connection is good most of the time with a drop here and there (maybe 1-2 in a 6 hour gaming session, remember 2 years old), as well as the bass not being able to work to the max because distortion will start scratching up the sound.
What this means to you: Get this headset if: - You have money to throw around - Bass is important to you - You are a major gamer
Get the G930 if: - Need something cheaper that will be 80% as good as this product - dont mind the occasional 3 second connection drop - You dont need much bass
Both headsets are absolutely amazing. I hope I helped you make up your mind today and enjoy your new sound! Leave me a comment if you have any questions, I should answer within 24hrs.
Battlefield 4 is the genre-defining action blockbuster made from moments that blur the line between game and glory. Fueled by the next-generation power and fidelity of the Frostbite 3 engine, Battlefield 4 provides a visceral, dramatic experience unlike any other.Only in Battlefield can you change the landscape in real-time with interactive environments that react to your every move. Only in Battlefield will you lead an assault from the back of a gun boat. Battlefield grants you the freedom to do more and be more while playing to your strengths and carving your own path to victory. In addition to its hallmark multiplayer, Battlefield 4 features an intense, dramatic character-driven campaign that starts with the evacuation of American VIPs from Shanghai and follows your squad's struggle to find its way home. Receive the China Rising Expansion Pack when you preorder Battlefield 4. There is no comparison. Immerse yourself in the glorious chaos of all-out war, found only on the battlefield.
I had been waiting for a long time for Battlefield 4 to finally come out and now it has, it is everything I dreamed of, intense multiplayer with absolutely stunning graphics. Thank you Dice!
This headset features gaming-grade wireless range up to 40'. The 7.1-channel surround sound with advanced Dolby technology lets you hear opponents before they see you.
WOW! ?I am very surprised by this Logitech headset, for the past few years i have had a feud with Logitech and their products, I thought i would give them another try. After using these headphones I want to experience the rest of what Logitech has to offer now.
It is AMAZING how easy it is to set these up! for non-surround sound simply plug in the usb into your pc, BAM, done! but go one step further to set up the surround sound by following a link to their website to download a great program that lets you customize everything about your G930's!
I use these for gaming and the 7.1 surround sound is awesome! In a game like Battlefield it is important to hear your surroundings and they do that and more.
I also use these around the house, I'll throw some music on my laptop and connect and do things around the house at the same time. There is no place in my house where the music gets even a little distorted.
I thought I wouldn't care for Wireless or wired, but now, I couldn't imagine having wires tying me down!
What's great about it: Bass sounds great except when on max, very comfortable, easy to wear for hours at a time. surround sound 7.1
