Logitech F540 Wireless Headset

When you live in a house with children, whether they are yours or the people that lived there before you just left them, night-time gaming can be done one of two ways: you can either go silent, or you can put on headphones. This is under the assumption that you don’t have a segregated gaming room where you can have the surround sound on as loud as you want, as late as you want. No matter the scenario that puts a pair of gaming headphones on your dome, it’s important to pick the right ones. There are a lot of gaming headsets on the market these days, many of them excellent headsets. For the purpose of this review, I’m just testing out the new F540 Wireless Headset from Logitech. Whether or not it’s the perfect headset for you is completely subjective.

Full disclosure: Logitech sent them to me for review. In a giant box. My kids thought I bought a new Xbox. More disclosure, I’m a complete Logitech shill. I have Logitech speakers and computer peripherals including a keyboard, mouse & webcam. Basically, I’ve purchased a lot of different brands over the years, and Logitech has always been the best for these purposes. See? Total shill. They make a good product, who am I to complain?

So, this is the point where you are saying to yourself, “oh great, another lame-ass product review for yet another [insert product here.]” Yeah, I can’t argue with that. If you aren’t interested in probably one of the better gaming headphones I’ve ever used, then go ahead and click back over to Cracked.com. I might be a Logitech shill, but every piece of whatever I use for electronic entertainment goes through a rigorous testing process. Ok, less rigorous than thorough.

 

Step 1: Open the box. The headset came with several mini-boxes within the larger box. It included not only a wireless transmitter for the 2.4 GHz headset, but cables for each conceivable connection. There was a power cable (of course,) a cable for Xbox chat, a cable for PS3 chat, RCA connectors with a pass through (so you can hook another RCA audio input into the same line) and a charging cable. Also in the box was some paper that I think were directions, but I just left it there. Directions?
