G930 headset really sucks, crackling noises during sudden loud noises

anyone know of any fix for this? I've been playing serious sam 3 and during sudden spikes in volume, like when the metal music kicks in and during a lot of explosions, my headhpones just kind of can't handle it. its like a crackling noise. I can't seem to find a fix online. 

As a former owner of G930 and G35 I can tell you there is no fix as both of these headsets use 40mm Driver also there was a bunch of software problem and design issues with G930 and never got fixed, I for one went through 7 replacements and finally gave up, I used to be a huge Logitech fan and supporter but after G930 I decides no to buy anything from them ever again. If you are still within return policy I would suggest you return them and buy Creative Wrath wireless or Corsair Vengeance 2000 or if you have the money buy the headset I have which is Astro A50.

recommending those shitfest headphones that cost 2.5x what the G35s cost is just hilarious.

aside from that, your comment about them having 40mm drivers, as if that is a negative, just further proves you are ignorant when it comes to headphones. the driver size has very little to do with the quality of sound coming from a set of headphones, and honestly, the VAST majority of over ear headsets are going to be 40mm. the largest you are probably going to be able to find is 50mm and the difference is not exactly what i would call substantial....

I decided to get the Creative Auvana Live after reading a thread here. I'd recommend them.

Can't beat a good set of Sennheiser cans.

Oh im ignorant? well let me tell you something boy!!!, after being in computer repair business for over 10 years and going through thousands of configurations/parts and equipment, im pretty confident in what I suggest and just so you know for future refrence kid, 50mm Driver makes a whole lot of difference, don't make a fool out of yourself by being so rude to a someone whos just trying to help another fellow member.

As others have said, you really can't expect top sound quality from a "gaming headset". Get some real headphones. I use a pair of AKG K271 studio monitors. Originally got them for music production, but they also just happen to be incredible headphones for general use. 

Senheisers are also great. Shure, as well, if you get some of the nicer ones. Don't bother with Shure if you're looking for <$100 headphones. Their cheaper ones are good for the price, but they're just not really what you should be looking for if you want  great  headphones.

[QUOTE="Geminon"] as you can see in my post, there is a fix for it.... just because you couldnt fix the issue, doesnt mean there isnt a fix. Astro A50s are ****ING horrible.

wow, with that attitude i don't think you are making such a good example to your Kid. I strongly suggest rethinking your manners, that is if you truely are a dad and not some 14 year old who gets the jiz out of talking down on people on forums.

Maybe it's the USB port? Try different USB ports. I get audio issues similar to the one described if I plug a USB sound device into a dusty port. Or it's just a shoddy USB headset. USB headphones and headsets are typically shoddy, have short life times, and poorer sound quality than their analog counterparts. Especially if they're wireless (lol).

[QUOTE="Geminon"] being helpful and being ignorant are two different things... "computer repair business for over 10 years".... geek squad folks are in the "computer repair business" and they know less than my kid does about computers. FFS what a joke....Geminon

no point in arguing with someone as closed minded as you, so we leave it at that.

Truth. I would never ever ever ever spend money on a dedicated "gaming" headset. Save your money and spend it on a premium audio brand.

Thing is, people just don't know this and get tricked into it by all the marketing. I can say that cause I was one of them. I wanted a pair of good headsets. I had $30 Sony ones which sounded great, but still were just normal ones. I looked into those Senheiser brands but then got caught up into the whole "gaming headset" from Turtle Beach. Also the whole "it has surround, with 4 different satellites on each ear" etc etc. I actually went and bought the gaming Turtle Beach ones. They sounded pretty good but then a friend let me borrow his $150 Senheiser ones. Boy oh Boy did I instantly know what a difference there was, and what a mistake I had made. I took the TBeach back and luckily they let me swap them for a pair of Senheisers. Couldn't be happier.FelipeInside

It's a bloody shame really. You actually SAVE money getting better sounding headphones. I'm sort of a sound/music nut so I fortunately never got sucked into this, but the number of my gamer friends with Turtle Beach sh*t is semi-appalling to me when I compare the sound quality of their headphones to my own 100$ Audio Technicas.

Sorry to kinda/sorta derail your thread TC, but there's definitely a lesson to be learned from this. :P

G930 owner here, they are pretty bad imo, really wish i did not spend as much on them as i did. I wound up getting a pair of Audio-technica

And i love them, these with my headphone amp make games sound fuc*ing AMAZING.

you should never buy gaming headsets... only good thing about them is that they have built in mic. sound quality sucks.
