If anything, it may not be as bass biased as some competitors’ headsets but that’s a positive to my ears.

With Immerse, you hear the precise location of enemy footsteps and reload sounds; you have the advantage of hearing your enemies before they hear you.When we starting working on G433 and G233 headset, our starting point wasn’t technology but fabrics. If you have already purchased you’ll need your receipt, the competitor you want us to match and details of any relevant voucher offers. I’ve been PCMag’s home entertainment expert for over 10 years, covering both TVs and everything you might want to connect to them. The cans also swivel 90 degrees to lie flat, both for easier travel or that ‘I just wear these around my neck to show everyone on the bus what a music lover I am” look.

The effect is subtle in Doom, but I could get a sense of directional panning when dealing with enemies attacking from multiple directions. This is not a problem when you mute the microphone with the button on the cable but I always seem to forget to do this. The headset actually only features two drivers (one in each ear) that do not require it to be powered externally. You also don’t have to look like you’re wearing a UFO on your head that’s adorned with all kinds of LED lights. That said, we do appreciate the G433’s lightweight construction, clamping force and scratchy fabric notwithstanding.Overall, both headsets offer great value, but if you play a lot of online games with friends, the G433 might be a better option.
