Logitech G930 - First-class Gaming Headset, with First-class Price Tag
Logitech G35 has proved that Dolby Headphone 2.0 is almost as good as virtual surround sound can get. That is, when you can live up with the 60% game compatibility (May 2009). Logitech seems to be pretty satisfied that the the successor, G930, shares the same fundamental design as the G35. There's however one very distinct difference. The G930 gaming headset is wireless. It's not Bluetooth AD2P wireless, but it's uncompressed 48kHz audio streaming over proprietary 2.4Ghz RF. The signal is boosted by the G930's dual antenna to ensure there's no noticeable audio lag.
The wireless G930 headset sports a industry standard micro-USB connector for battery charging. Recharging the headset takes approximately 2.5 hours. Each charge can last to 10 hours, depending on the usage. The circumaural ear cups offer up to 26 dB of noise isolation while providing 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response. As with the G35, the G930 relies on Dolby Headphone 2.0 to provide 7.1 surround sound. It also shares the same three programmable G-keys for quick access to chat, voice morphing and music. Now, for the pricing, the G35 is already in the $100 range; the Logitech G930 headset is going for $159.99. The price tag puts it on the same playing field as Razer Megalodon.
