The padding is wrapped up in a bright blue fabric/mesh combination. To keep your head from hurting while you wear the G430 Logitech put just under an inch of padding on the top. Logitech’s earcup design is very unique but if you think about the shape of an ear with the ear lobe hanging down their design makes sense. Most manufactures go with a round earcup or sometimes a rectangle shape. Beyond the new G logo and the blue trim on the earcups the shape is the same as their other headsets. If you have seen the G930 or the G93 you will recognize the overall shape and styling of the G430. The G430 is held in place with its fold up formed plastic window and a cardboard backing that also holds the cord and paperwork in place. Along with the headset, you get a USB sound card and a small setup guide and important information packet. Inside Logitech matched the interior color to the same blue trim on the G430 itself. On the back we have another photo of the headset, this time Logitech has highlighted a few key features. The cover of the box has a half x-rayed photo of the headset as well as a window that gives you a peak at the headset. Logitech stuck with their new science theme for the G430’s packaging.

You may have seen them with their funny commercials during LCS this year. Before they just had the G35 and the G930, but they have now added the G430 and the G230. One area where they expanded their product line this past year though was their audio line. For the most part their product line has stayed the same, with just a few exceptions and with small refreshes like what they did this past year. Most of you are familiar with most of Logitech’s product line at this point from having owned one or knowing someone who uses Logitech products.
