For game-changing immersion, the Logitech G35 Surround Sound Headset is the first Logitech headset to offer 7.1 surround sound – a perfect complement to the growing number of action games and high-definition movies that support 7.1-channel surround sound.

Immersive Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound. Powered by second-generation Dolby Headphone technology, the G35 simulates the complex acoustics of a listening room, creating a detailed, outside-the-head sound field. Plus, with its proprietary ear-enclosing design, the G35 headset greatly reduces ambient noise from interfering with your entertainment, while an adjustable, noise-canceling microphone focuses on your voice and reduces background noise.

Victory never sounded so good. Play with the best.

Delivers a detailed soundfield – hear your enemies before they see you. Dolby Pro Logic II is used in conjunction with Dolby Headphone technology to create an expanded stereo sound for files recorded in traditional format.

To ensure your headset remains comfortable during long gaming sessions, the G35 headset features three swappable headbands – thin, thick and contoured designs – so you can select the style that fits you best.

The G35’s earmuffs are a circumaural design (meaning that they wrap around your outer ear, instead of resting on top of it). This helps isolate you from the distraction of outside noises while preventing the audio that you’re hearing from leaking out and disturbing other people around you. Although Logitech claims the headset is capable of delivering 7.1-channel audio, each muff has only physical speaker inside: a 40mm driver with a 15mm voice coil.

The G35 connects to your PC via a stiff, braided fabric USB 2.0 cable. You have to install Logitech’s G35 control panel software to use and configure the headset — this is a little inconvenient for LAN parties, but the software provides a lot of features. The software is also ’smart’ and automatically directs your audio to the headset while disabling your speakers — you don’t have to juggle connections or change sound settings in the Windows Control Panel when they’re plugged in.

Review By Hardwarecanucks

The G35 headset comes with the “leather” (actually vinyl) ear covers, and I was immediatly struck as to how comfortable they are. Also, because of the full ear cover design, they block out a lot of ambient noise. I can’t give an actual reading in decibels of how much sound they cut out, but in a room with televisions and a radio on, they easily cut out 75% of the external noise. Never mind expensive cooling fans, these will do the job for you. If you can still hear your computer running when you have these things on, then you really need to look at the cooling solutions in your PC.

Once you’ve installed the drivers, plugging the headphones in results in the software auto-loading, and Windows automatically switching to the G35s as the default audio device. It’s a nice touch that means when you pull them out, Windows auto-switches back to your speakers without the cost or hassle of hardware switch boxes. On the flipside, these headphones will only ever be used for your Windows PC, as no 3.5mm jack is present, and no Mac or Linux drivers are supplied.

The microphone works from the moment the USB plug is connected and is one of the best we have used on a set of PC gaming headphones. It is clear and distortion-free and the rubberised mount allows the microphone to be easily positioned for optimum usage. When the microphone is rotated up out of the way, it automatically mutes itself — a nice touch.

Review By Laptoplogic

The surround sound was, however, somewhat skeptical at times. At times I felt it worked incredibly well, and others it lagged and didn’t really immerse me as much as I was expecting (hoping). This was really apparent while playing F.E.A.R to test it out, which made some noises eerily real, while others sound flat (directional bullets and explosions) and lack of direction.
