Price Point
Drop + HIFIMAN HE4XX
These headphones sound great and are very affordable, but just know what you are getting. If you're looking for some great sounding headphones to listen to around your house using a headphone amp, these would be a great buy. But if you're looking for something to take to the gym, or use at work you'll probably want to look elsewhere. Pros - Excellent sound quality
Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless
This thing would be appropriately priced in the $20 to $30 range max. In my opinion, this is not a premium product and should not be priced as such.
Sound Quality
Drop + HIFIMAN HE4XX
My wife disagrees, but I think movies sound punchier and more intimate on grado cans. And they have the side benefit of letting two people listen to something and just talk like nothing since they leak like mad. But again, all round? These babies, hands down.
Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless
This headset just doesn't cut it. Not sure if the product was used and returned as the box it came in looked pretty suspicious but the headset can't seem to hold a charge for more than 3 hours. The Sound quality and mic just don't cut it. I'm not going to return it because I tossed away the box thinking that products from Logitech should be good but boy was I mistaken
Comfort
Drop + HIFIMAN HE4XX
All-day comfortable with ease (they can get a tiny bit warm with the alcantara pads in a hot room, but not even close to unacceptable) and utterly zero squeaks or creaks (looking at you, Audio Technica AD700's) The one, ONLY gripe I have with them is the nice cable they have is too short for anything other than a desktop amp or device RIGHT in front of you. BUT, it's replaceable, and lots of companies make cables for them. Side benefit is you can get a balanced cable for them, and if you get a BTR5 as well, that amp has a balanced output option. So they can sound EVEN BETTER
Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless
It is super lightweight; which is good and bad in my opinion in the sense of "quality", but is fine for a comfort factor... the earpads fit well for me
Fit
Drop + HIFIMAN HE4XX
It's not long enough for comfortable PC/ living room AV receiver use for me, so I ordered a replacement cable when I bought the headphone. The replacement cable is that red one that everybody else is buying. I clipped the "braided" part off, and now they're really cool looking red cables. They click really nicely into the headphones - better click than the stock cable
Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless
The Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless are gaming headphones designed with teens and tweens in mind. However, they should fit most adult-sized heads with no issue. They have a simple design and a very lightweight as well as comfortable fit. Their warm sound profile also helps emphasize sound effects in gameplay, although they don't have an EQ or presets to customize it
Durability
Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless
They've now outlasted my old pair by a sizeable margin, and my faith in this product has been restored. I would highly recommend these headphones as long as you are willing to look online on a computer to install the firmware before use with other products or your PC. They sound great, they're comfortable, and they have a great battery life. Thanks to Ambrose Lee of Logitech for showing me such kindness and for giving me absolutely above and beyond levels of customer service
