Logitech G633 Artemis Spectrum Deafening Dog Whistle

Crazycatman · October 5, 2022

Literally sounds like a flashbang went off. Its done this 3 times now over the past 3 months, enough to bother my ear for the next few hours. The cable for the micro USB can be moved enough to make the headset cut out, the actual connecter on the PCB is just fine though.

I've noticed within the past month that the left side LED on the magnetic cover is not synced with the color that is on the backing, like say its set dark purple, the LED for the mag plate will be a pinkish red. Same for green it will be a yellow color. I just took the whole thing apart and all the wires look fine. I've had these since December 2020 and they are so much better than my 5 sets of Logitech G430s 2016-2019. I tried one of my G430 back on to listen to them and they sounded like trash.

Is there any recommendations for similar headphones. These are bigger/bulky for some people I guess and some people say they hurt their heads or the pads fall off/shift easy, I've never had a problem with them. I can wear them for days at a time if I wanted. I also like bass. I do not want open-back.

Those were the last gaming headset I bought. I also had these. I got a problem as well were they just randomly deafened me as well. It definitely has something to do with the drivers or the built in soundcard in them. I'd recommend something that actually has a base on studio headphones. The Cooler Master MH752's are reskinned studio headphones with a mic. The HyperX cloud 2's are also reskinned. Both are good but I'd say the 752's are better.

The 752s did not have enough cushion on top for me and I do not want inline controls on the cord. My friend also had HyperX and they weren't the best and felt cheap to me, they are on the cheaper side aswell. I'm gonna see if a different cord makes a difference. The problem is the headset itself not really drivers or anything. The wires were not really insolated either so I might take them back apart and de-solder and then heat shrink the wires. I don't use them that much either, but I set them down a lot on top of my computer. But they have only been unplugged maybe a handful of times. If nothing good happens I'll just buy another pair of them then, cause others Im looking at don't seem to meet same specs or sound quality.

I've never used the mic on them either, thing still has the little blue tag on it.

Ok problem solved. I just re-flowed some of the soldering around the USB port and the volume toggles. I can now wiggle the cable as much as I like now with no issues. I also noticed no more rattling noise from super heavy low bass. They sound wonderful again, I see myself keeping these things for the foreseeable future and I'll buy another set sooner or later just to have as a backup incase these get damaged or discontinued. As for the LED I still have no clue why its a different color, its hue is off on all the spectrum of colors. Maybe a bad LED diode or controller.
