Just do your research before dropping money on this , i have a pair.
The cons are as:
Battery life slowly drains fast after about 6-7 months , their is replacements for extra $$
Sometimes it doesn't wanna charge , have to insert paperclip in reset hole in headset , if your lucky if will fix or time for RMA which takes close to month or less.
People often tell me the Mic sounds like garbage , every headset differs though
Sometimes or should i say "ALOT" it loses connection and reconnects , takes about 5 seconds to reconnect , Common issue with almost everyone at some time..
The software for it sucks and cause cause problems sometimes , their is known fixes but not always fixes it for all.
Gamer Gear is shit.
Go with some low end pro grade audiophile gear and you will be thanking yourself.
Got my Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 for $80 new. You can still find them for that price, but open box.
They have sense been replaced by the Audio Technica ATH-AD700X but the price has gone up.
Do your homework and you'll be able to find a better product.
I've tried a friends G930 and was not impressed at all.

I owned this headset. It started turning to shit after 8 months, still under warranty but still..
Must be two bad apples in the basket. I have had a set of these for near 2 years and they are still working flawless! Good battery life and great sound.
Three. I had constant dropouts with mine as well. Gave them to my wife to use with Skype. I use the G35's instead, and MUCH prefer them.
Do you live in an apartment complex/condo/townhouse? Do you have a lot of other routers/wireless devices on the 2.4GHz band? Good chance you just ran into channel interference, which is a known issue with this headset and other wireless devices that share the 2.4GHz band. If you are in a SFH, you probably could've fixed this by changing your router's channel, in a crowded urban area, there's not much you can do unfortunately.
No. I live in a house. In a town of 4,000 people, mostly old and almost entirely nontechnical. One WAP. And I'm more than capable of doing things like moving the WAP to other channels to avoid interference. And I tried all 11 channels. But thanks for assuming I didn't try all of this before giving up on it.
Seriously? This thread gets one reply in the first 24 hrs, and then blows up AFTER the deal sells out? I don't understand people...
No offense, but your recommendation is shit for the target audience because it fails to meet the very minimum requirements most in this GAMER market expect:
1) Wireless freedom
2) Built-in mic
3) Artificial surround sound treatments
Please leave the bargain bin can recommendations for the alt-Sennheiser threads.
Anyways, deal is dead, sold out.
No problem and you're welcome. Maybe you build houses out of lead?
I'm not so sure about that. I have the ATH-AD700's with a ModMic and think they make a great gaming setup.
1. Wireless Freedom -- these are wired so this is a good point.
2. Built-in mic. Most of these built-in mics suck. The ModMic is better and can be replaced if something does happen to it rather than having to replace the whole headset.
3. Artificial surround sound -- this is more a function of the sound card. You need a sound card capable of doing Dolby Headphone like the Asus Xonar.
As far as I can tell, the G930 only has 2 speakers which kind of emphasizes the point made above.
I'm not sure why gamers require wireless. You'll almost always get better performance from wired sets and not have to worry about battery issues. You probably have to break it down between PC gamers and console gamers. If you're playing on a console in the living room or something I can see why wireless would be desired.
I live in rural farm country, on the edge of a national park. I have one neighbor, several acres away. I also have an EMF meter, and am perfectly capable of doing a site survey. And I have. When I say there's no interference, I mean it.
I realize that we live in a society so dumbed-down that our coffee cups require warnings on the side informing people that coffee is hot; that our prepackaged gadgets require warning labels telling folks, "not meant for human consumption". But on a technical forum, it's generally not necessary to jump right to the lowest common denominator when it comes to technical ability. This is [H]ardForum, not an outsourced Indian call center.
Its OK, no one is going to mistake you for Bill Gates when the info you provided indicated you went from drop outs > dumping them on wife > determining product is faulty without getting to the bottom of the problem or getting a pair that worked when the overwhelming majority of users have no problems with them in their computing environments.
You obviously have never visited Logitech's forums. Or HQ. I've done both, and they prove you're wrong.
Sure I have visited their forums, a cursory glance shows dozens of users experiencing similar issues that are easily resolved by troubleshooting their wireless networks but don't know where to begin, which is why I offered the suggestion.
There are others who have no recourse because they are in high population areas with crowded wireless basebands.
There is however, no obvious section for self-professed know-it-alls that exert low levels of effort and ultimately pawn off semi-functional hardware on their spouses rather than return them for working replacement or refund.
I hardly think doing everything I could for more than a year before giving up is "low levels of effort". As for know-it-all, well, the shoe fits, so I'll happily wear it. Like it or not, there are in fact people in the world more talented, more experienced, and more knowledgeable than you in a wide variety of subjects.
Or people with lower quality standards who are willing to just deal with subpar products without either 1) returning them for refund or 2) pursuing warranty replacement until receiving a working product.
Or more likely 3) think they know it all and miss the obvious.
