StanSmith's impression of the "smart flagship" G633

Impression of StanSmith, who has a history of various gaming headsets

"G633" (left) and "G933" (right) announced this time StanSmith explaining while holding "G633" Mr. Stan Smith is a professional gamer and a Logitech G brand ambassador. I have experience using gaming devices, and although the history of mice and keyboards has been talked about in various places, what about gaming headsets?

"The team I used to belong to had a policy of 'don't rely on voice chat, imagine what the members are thinking when you act', so I actually don't use headsets that much. However, I have used Dermapoint's 'DRTCHD33BK', Steel Series' '7H', and Logitech's 'G35r' and 'G430'." (Mr. StanSmith, same below)

　Mr. StanSmith is currently commenting on e-Sports competitions and working as a Logitech G brand ambassador. I got a surprising answer.

"At offline competitions, the venue is noisy and it is difficult to obtain the effect of 7.1ch, so I mainly use Logitech's in-ear earphones UE900s with the G430 over them." As a result, it is a professional luxury specification that uses the G430 microphone while listening to the sound firmly with the UE900s while soundproofing with the G430 ear cup. In that case, it seems that earphones and a stand microphone would be fine, but the soundproofing effect of the G430 is great, and the stand microphone picks up noise such as the sound of keystrokes on the keyboard, so it is difficult to use.

　From now on, in environments where a certain degree of tranquility can be maintained, such as at home or at internet cafes, only "G633" will be used, and in heavy environments such as e-Sports competitions, "G633" + "UE900s" will be used. gave. When I asked Mr. StanSmith, who has a history of headsets, about the "G633" announced this time, he gave me a straight opinion as a former "G35r" user.

"The G35r was heavy, but it's a little lighter, and it's pretty cool. You can use it as normal headphones, and I think you can use it not only for games, but also for listening to music. The overall usability has also been improved, and the position of the button has changed to reduce the number of wrong presses, and it is easier to operate the volume.Use the new LGS (Logicool Gaming Software) to switch the equalizer, and use the RGB You can set the color.You can also synchronize the lighting timing of the RGB colors with the corresponding mouse and keyboard.You can't see the person using the headset (laughs), but it makes me happy when they all light up. , it's cool to make it blink."

　What do you like about the design?

"Actually, the initial design when I saw it last year was round, but in the end it became a design that seems to be the successor to the best-selling "G35r", and it became the best headset. It hurts when you touch it, but if you use a rectangular case, your ears will fit right in and you can directly feel the power of 7.1ch sound.In fact, a square case is also cool.”

By the way, the surface of the ear cups where the buttons were placed on the "G35r" can be easily removed. It has a skeleton structure that allows you to see the internal structure when you remove it, but I don't quite understand its purpose. Will removing this make the RGB illumination more flashy?

"No. This is a gimmick for collaborating with the game, and it seems that you can attach a panel designed with the game's logo."

Regarding the sound that bothers me, "In a word, it has become beautiful. The 'G35r' has a slightly confined feeling, and it feels like you are playing a game in a small room. But "G633" feels like you're playing in a big studio, and the sound surrounds you," he said in a unique way. When I casually asked my friends, "How is my voice?"

As an aside, I have been using the "G35", the model before the "G35r", for many years. I've been using them until just recently, and I was dissatisfied with the fact that the synthetic leather on the ear cups was peeling off and dust was coming out. For this reason, I was personally happy that the "G633" finally became a mesh, but how does Mr. StanSmith perceive it?

"That's right. I already use the 'G230' and 'G430', which are mesh models, but the mesh doesn't get stuffy and doesn't smell (laughs). It doesn't trap heat, so you can immerse yourself in the game. Due to the structure of the mesh, it is easy to pick up outside sounds, but the playing environment for e-Sports tournaments has improved recently, so I don't think it will be a problem."

And various buttons such as the G key that has been moved from the surface of the ear cup to the side. How do you rate this?

"I no longer press the wrong key when putting on and taking off the headset. I'm not the type to customize the G key, but I use the standard presets such as equalizer and microphone mute, but in fact Each button has a different orientation, so you can tell which button is which by the difference in angle.The volume adjustment is easier to use, and with the G430, the sound control is done with the box on the cable. Because of that weight, I feel like my ears are being pulled, but the 'G633' doesn't have that, so it's very easy to use."

Finally, I asked a slightly mean question, "Isn't the price of about 20,000 yen high for a gaming headset?" But StanSmith had a clear answer to this question.

"Logitech spends a lot of money on technology. There are many cool headsets from rival manufacturers, but Logitech's good point is that it's cool and sticks to technology. For example, the mouse Then, when I was using Razer's DeathAdder before becoming a Logitech G brand ambassador, I thought that the evolution of the mouse had already ended and that no one was using it, just increasing the DPI, but Logitech 's G series has evolved the mouse through technological evolution, such as changing the click spring and making it compatible with high-speed movement.I think the "G633" is the same.It feels like a "smart flagship" , It's by far the best gaming headset I've tried so far. You can't know the sound until you hear it, so I'd like you to try it."

Mr. Stan Smith sent a message to PC gamers.

"Sound is an important material for a good experience in games, and when it comes to gaming devices, you probably think of keyboards and mice, but I think it's also important to enjoy the sound through your ears. Core I want people who enjoy games, not just hardcore gamers, to experience it.”
