Logitech G431 vs Logitech G930

Short answer: the Logitech G431, if you are buying new, though neither ranks well in its class. The Logitech G930 ranks higher than it (#347 vs #418 of 429 over-ear headphones, 2.7/5 vs 1.1/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Logitech G431 is still sold new. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 429 over-ear headphones, so if sound quality matters, consider the Dan Clark Audio E3 instead, ranked #1 at $2,299.

What the Logitech G431 does well: It uses 1 x 50mm dynamic. The catch: A tonal tilt of -2.18 makes it sound dark, with bass well ahead of the treble.

The Logitech G930 is the better-sounding pick. A wireless connection and a built-in microphone suit gaming and voice chat, and the closed-back design keeps sound contained. The catch: Treble runs about 4 to 5 dB below target above 6 kHz and presence is about 3 dB low, so the sound is dull and lacks sparkle.

Buy the Logitech G431 new; the Logitech G930 is no longer sold new, so it only makes sense as a used find.

Logitech G431 eBay

Pros: It uses 1 x 50mm dynamic.

Cons: A tonal tilt of -2.18 makes it sound dark, with bass well ahead of the treble. Its 5.03 dB spread from the target means a noticeably uneven response. A Harman score of 17 places it in the lower part of the over-ear rankings.

Logitech G930: $229.99 Wireless Discontinued Amazon $229.99 eBay

Pros: A wireless connection and a built-in microphone suit gaming and voice chat, and the closed-back design keeps sound contained. Bass is gently raised by about 2 dB, with sub-bass close to target, so the low end is warm without much bloat. The low mids and upper mids sit within about half a dB of target.

Cons: Treble runs about 4 to 5 dB below target above 6 kHz and presence is about 3 dB low, so the sound is dull and lacks sparkle. A huge dip of about 15 dB near 9.1 kHz removes cymbal detail, and a peak of about 6 dB near 6 kHz adds some harshness. At 326 g it is heavy, and it has no noise cancelling. It is a design from 2010 with dated sound. Discontinued.
