Design
Aesthetically, the G432 look quite similar to Logitech’s predecessors. They are all black, with a tasteful tint of color designed to stand out within the Logitech G gaming line.
Moreover, one of the biggest differences is that they’ve taken away the ring of blue and given it only an accent on each speaker cup.
Logitech has also reintroduced the silver accents in a vertical strip around each earpiece. The perforated headband even features this metallic shine throughout its edges to give it that tech vibe.

Comfort
The large earcups and firm headband keep the headset snuggly in place. Whereas some headsets can feel like a head clamp, the Logitech G432 does not. And even after hours of gaming, the areas around your ears won’t be wet with sweat.
Controls
The built-in control scheme of the Logitech G432 headset is laid out very simply and isn’t at all complicated. You only have a single wheel on each earcup for controlling your audio levels and muting your microphone when folding it up.
On the upside, you never have to worry about searching for volume controls because they’re always in front of you. Plus, if your headset gets bumped or knocked by accident, there’s no risk of altering anything as the controls are smartly placed.
