Logitech launches two new gaming headsets -- G433 and G233

Logitech today launches a duo of headsets designed for gamers. The G433 7.1 Gaming Headset and the G233 Prodigy Gaming Headset both feature the company's patent-pending Pro-G audio drivers, but Logitech says that the starting point for the units was actually fabrics.

Both sets of headphones are wired, and the G433 has a hydrophobic, stain-resistant fabric finish and there are four colors to choose from: Royal Blue, Fire Red, Triple Black, and Camo Blue. The cheaper G233 has sports mesh Cyan Blue ear pads and comes in soft-touch black. But of course, while the materials used may have been a starting point for Logitech, there's more to the headsets than this.

Priced at $99.99 (£109.99), the G433 7.1 Gaming Headset offers a lightweight design and 7.1 surround sound. There's a mic boom for use in gaming or video chats, but this can be removed for use on the move with a smartphone. If you’re using the headset to listen to music on the go, you can swap out the standard audio cable for one with inline controls.

Full details are available on the G433 product page, and you and find out more about the Logitech G433 7.1 Gaming Headset in the video below:

The cheaper G233 Prodigy Gaming Headset is priced at $79.99 (£79.99). Like its more expensive big brother, there's a detachable mic boom and swappable cables. The real market here is gamers, and Logitech envisions users indulging in lengthy sessions:

Crafted for long gaming sessions, our sports-mesh ear pads surround the ear and provide just the right amount of force to stay firmly in place and comfortably breathable.
