This wired gaming headset has lots of cool features
0:03
Let's check it out. [♪ Music Playing ♪ Dave Taylor here, and I'm checking out this
0:13
This is the Logitech G335 wired gaming headset. And as you can see, it's a pretty cool design
0:22
So, it's a lot of plastic, but it's a really nice, well-made plastic that feels very durable
0:27
What I really like, though, is that there's this headband on the top
0:31
and it's adjustable, so you can get it to be different sizes for a different size head
0:36
But it also has a really cool design, and you can see that there
0:39
So, it gives you a nice little spot of personality, more so than just the color combinations, and they have three different color combinations
0:48
I'm going to tell you, though, that it's powered by 40mm neodymium drivers
0:54
and it actually does a really nice job with reproduction of sound
0:59
And I was listening to some old James Bond soundtracks, listened to a lot of soundtracks
1:05
and, man, because of its sort of gaming attenuation with the different frequencies
1:11
its EQ gives you a big bass-heavy sound, or bass-forward sound, and it just sounds really great
1:20
It's going to be really great if you're a gamer, too, because all these games are designed now with so much low-frequency sound
1:28
This is going to do a great job of not just reproducing them, but really making them pop
1:33
So, lots of basic useful features. So, you can see it has that boom mic
1:39
If I put these on, if I turn the mic up, it mutes
1:43
Turn it down, and it unmutes. And, of course, I can turn it all the way up, and now it's gone
1:48
and now I just have a pair of headphones, so I don't even have to think about it
1:51
And, in terms of the other end of the wire, it's a nice, long wire
1:55
and it's a 3.5-millimeter jack. And they also have an adapter in the box where you can split this out into microphone and audio out
2:06
and that's really great if you have... Older PCs sometimes like to split that into two different things
2:13
and that might be great if you have a separate microphone, but with an integrated unit like this, you might need those two plugs
2:19
It's included, super helpful. The earpads are memory foam, and that headband, like I said, it is adjustable
2:27
So, there's... You can do two settings on each side. So, that gives you, what, four different size combinations
2:34
You could also take it off, but I wouldn't. It's a little more comfortable with that on the top of your head
2:39
And, let's see, it is compatible with the PlayStation, with the Xbox, with the Nintendo Switch
2:45
It's Discord certified. It works with Mac and PC, and it's 8.5 ounces, or 250 grams, so it's super light
2:54
So, enough talk. I want to give you a demo so you can hear the microphone pickup
3:00
which I would describe as being pretty darn good. So, I'm going to plug it in, go onto my Mac here
3:06
and, of course, I could be using any computer, but I've chosen to use a Mac since it's easy for me to do the recording
3:14
And, let me just get this all happening here. And... So, now I'm in Voice Memos, and I have this plugged in
3:25
and that's all I had to do for the Mac to pick it up as audio input
3:29
So, now what you're hearing is my voice is picked up by this microphone
3:35
and you can see on this amplitude display, it's really loud. It's picking it up really well to the point where I probably need to dial that down a little bit
3:46
But, this, you're hearing, is a demo, and if I... Obviously, that was an instant mute
3:52
You didn't hear what I said, but super easy to work with, and I'm talking
3:56
I'm trying to talk a little softer, but it's just... It's such a good pickup, and it's so close to my mouth that you're still getting a loud volume
4:05
So, I'm going to go ahead and click Done. And, I'm going to stop my recording
4:12
And, so there you have it. There's the demo. And, again, I will tell you that from the perspective of music playback or audio playback of any sort
4:22
it's really nice. Now, there aren't a lot of controls on the headphones themselves
4:28
but there is this volume dial, and you probably will want to adjust that the very first time you do it
4:34
because I put these on, and I'm like, hmm, no audio. And then I rolled that up a little bit, and I'm like, oh, there it is
4:41
Nice and loud. So, that's easy. It's an easy thing to manage
4:45
So, you have volume control on the headphones. You also have that ability to mute your microphone anytime you just want to put it out of the way
4:53
And, that's pretty much everything. They're really simple. They're surprisingly affordable. And, they're really not just good for people who are just starting out in the gaming world
5:05
but they're also good for people who might get really excited and kind of break things occasionally
5:10
because they're not super expensive. So, they come in three different color combinations
5:15
This is obviously white and blue. They also have mint and gray, which is a really interesting combination, and black and black
5:24
And, there's actually a matching gaming mouse from Logitech, too, called the G305
5:30
Remember, this is the G335. So, that's what I wanted to tell you
5:35
I think these are definitely ones to check out. So, I encourage you to do so
5:39

Hit that bell icon for notifications. Give me a thumbs up if this was of value
5:49
I certainly hope it was. And, let's talk about the price. This is the Logitech G335 wired gaming headset
6:00
It's available in three different color combinations. And, it is $69.99, currently discounted down to $37.99 at Amazon.com
6:11
And, I'll tell you, this is a wired gaming headset, but this would work perfectly well for your next Zoom or Teams or Google meeting or something
6:22
So, you know, if you're doing a podcast, if you want to just record voiceovers or something
6:28
this can work perfectly well. And, you can also just leave it like this all the time and use them as headphones
6:34
And then, when you realize, oh, you know, I need a microphone too
6:39
it's right there on board and ready to go. So, no extra hassle, no extra devices
6:44
Really like that. It's definitely one I would encourage you to check out
6:48
That's all I got. Hope to catch you in my next video. ♪♪♪��
