This headset is bad. Don't buy it.

[Suika]

Bad headset do not buy. I fully regret my purchase.

[Fluffinator]

Please No. 

[reapersivan]

I saw it, it's 60$ on Amazon as well as NewEgg

[Unhelpful]

Shitty for anything under $40. Not worth it. Had 4 of them.

[0ld_Chicken]

once I sorted through the wireless connectivity issues, its not a bad headset (although I haven't owned many, so yeah)

+1  Seems to be a recurring theme with SirNumbers.  I appreciate the frequent deal postings, but Its gotten to the point where I have to paste his messages into sublime(text editor) to read them. 

[Syntaxvgm]

it's always been this price, even lower at points. And it's not worth it I hear 

[X99stattrak]

The software breaks mine, so I just un-installed it until Logitech can fix their crap.

[Mr_Lolled]

I own one, DONT BUY IT. It crashes every 10 minutes. its a horrible headset. Sound quality is perfect. But ....... everything else sucks so hard. I dropped it once the microphone broke off. Anyways.

 

Im getting this expierence of this:
Annoying sounds, If anyone calls me the headset shuts down instantly.

Default charge cable aint even enough to run plug and play.

Horrible battery, Died so freaking fast

Software keeps plugging and unplugging the usb.

 

 

Just imagine... You are in the middle of a csgo match planting the bomb and the headset shuts down instantly. you need to get your hand to that fucking power button and turn it on back... while turning it on you`re getting headshotted, Yes that pisses you fucking off.

 

Don't buy it its freaking horrible.

I thought I had a defective unit..... Mine turns off randomly as well.  I thought it was dead battery, but it does this on a full charge.  I got mine for like 50bucks and I don't think its worth it at that price.

there is a (edit:several) fix for that. Mine did that for a while and i just fixed it. I'll post it shortly

Does it involve bashing it against concrete until it no longer resembles a headset?

If you are still dealing with the constant disconnecting/reconnecting, I tried a lot of different things to get mine working properly, most found on one page from the Logitech forums( https://forums.logitech.com/t5/Logitech-G-Headsets/G930-sound-cutting-out/td-p/470957/page/7 ).  I tried several USB ports, using the "extender" in the charging cable, reg_edits, and eventually had success after I changed the channel on my router.  It is completely ridiculous that a consumer should have to do things like this to get an expensive headset working correctly.

Also had similar problems. I returned the first headset and then discovered same issue with the 2nd headset. I finally found relief. Here's the remedy gleaned from another forum (not Logitech):

"Step 1; rechannel your wireless router from channel 6 to channel one or eleven. The middle bandwith notch for 2.4 Mhz is channel 6.

Step 2; Assumed that wireless setting for G930 would be in the registry: assumed correctly. Enter regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Logitech\G930. There are strings of "bandxgainlevel (where x = 1-10). Band6gain should be reset to 0. It is currently set on some other value. Band5gain should be set to 1. It, also is set to some other value. This must be done after you uninstall the software and driver for the G930, otherwise the registry will simply reset itself."

Just get a HyperX cloud II or Sennheiser 598 or Audio technica m50x or m40x.

 

Most gaming headsets are garbage.

[iasianxmofoii]

[0ld_Chicken]

After uninstalling the software can i install it back?

[Mr_Lolled]

Would the registiry reset back after installing it back?

[0ld_Chicken]

Would the registiry reset back after installing it back?

honestly I don't know, I have not gone back and checked since it is working.

I did the reg edit and changed my router channel in the same step without seeing if one had any effect before doing the next.

I am using the Logitech software now, with no real issues. Using version: 8.74

maybe after work, try just changing the router channel and see if that has any effect on the issue
