So I bought the G733 in white the day that it became available and they arrived today. Was extremely psyched since I'm a fan of many other G products. Unfortunately, this headset is complete garbage.
First up they looked great when I first opened them, good weight and design (I wear my headset all day and night between work and gaming). Trying them on though is lackluster. The foam is a bit too hard, causing discomfort after wearing them for an hour.
They are very light but they feel especially cheap (considering the price). Mediocre plastics that feel disappointing and a mic with minimal movement and a cheap and unimpressive attachment mechanism.
Range is ok. An apartment wall in between will almost sever the connection with the dongle.
Next up is the experience on PC. This has been the biggest failure. Upon installation, it reset my G Hub software. I lost all of the lighting profiles (G560), DPI profiles and keybinds (G502), and webcam scenes I'd created to match lighting conditions (G922). The software would open and state that it couldn't see anything attached. I tried removing, plugging back in etc. The devices would work, but weren't detected. I tried uninstalling and it simply wouldn't comply. Every attempt failed - nothing would come up. Tried through windows uninstaller and CCleaner with no luck. Then tried Logitechs own advice on their site (which included deleting folders). This also didn't work as folders kept refusing deletion based on being used by a program - yes I'd force closed everything in task manager. Finally I was able to force an uninstall through Revo successfully.
Then while reinstalling the software, it bluescreened my PC twice. FINALLY I've been able to get in installed and to recognise all the (now non-configured and unpersonalised) devices. Will end up returning this during the week. Poor audio, poor mic, average battery so far, average build quality and shit software experience.
What a shame.
