Where are the differences?

Let's take a closer look at the differences between the H3* and G435 Lightspeed* gaming headsets.

What year are the headsets from?

The release year is of course important when comparing two headsets. After all, the release date has an influence on the state of the art and usually also affects the price. There is no difference in this comparison. Both gaming headsets, the EPOS H3 and the Logitech G435 Lightspeed, are from the year 2021. Thus, the technical starting point is not very different.

Connection options

Let's start with the connectivity options from EPOS H3 and Logitech G435 Lightspeed. Unlike the Logitech G435 Lightspeed, the EPOS H3* can be wired. A wired connection reduces connection problems and interference, which is an advantage. In return, the cable can possibly interfere.

Radio offers the disadvantage that there can be interference in the verdinbung. In addition, with radio you are usually dependent on a battery, which can also go flat during use. Only with the Logitech G435 Lightspeed* do you get the option to connect wirelessly. This is not possible with the EPOS H3. However, often the wireless headsets also offer the additional option to connect the headset via cable.

Cable and battery

In this comparison, only the Logitech G435 Lightspeed has an integrated battery. The Logitech G435 Lightspeed has a battery life of up to 18,0 hours.

Audio

The driver size is larger for the Logitech G435 Lightspeed with 40 mm. With a larger driver, especially low frequencies can be reproduced more easily and louder. However, other factors play a role here, of course.

For the EPOS H3 the frequency range starts at 10 Hz. For the Logitech G435 Lightspeed the value is at 20 Hz. The end is at EPOS H3 for the 30000 Hz and at Logitech G435 Lightspeed for the 20000 Hz. What is really important here is the range between 50 Hz and 10,000 Hz, which is covered by just about every headset nowadays.

The higher the impedance, the more power a speaker can produce. Also the sound becomes clearer. The Logitech G435 Lightspeed* is in front with a value of 45 Ω. For the EPOS H3, the impedance is 20 Ω.

Both headsets support Dolby Atmos. This is not to be confused with 7.1 surround sound. Dolby Atmos is the next generation and also includes sound effects from above. As a rule, a driver or adapter is necessary for this.

Microphone

The microphone frequency range of the EPOS H3 starts at 10 Hz. The microphone of the Logitech G435 Lightspeed starts at 20 Hz. The microphone of the EPOS H3 ends at a frequency range of 30000 Hz. The frequency range from the microphone of the Logitech G435 Lightspeed ends at 20000 Hz.

Volume control and mute

Almost every gaming headset offers the possibility of volume control and mute. So it is also in this case.

Both models offer the option of muting. The operation is done for the EPOS H3 and Logitech G435 Lightspeed by Auricle.

Which headset has more features?

Finally, let's take a look at the equipment. Here, some models have lighting.
