Extra features
Logitech already has a
couple of strictly stereo headsets in the range - Precision and
Digital Precision, costing £24.99 and £34.99,
respectively - and the G35s add a few extra features on top, keeping in
with the rest of the G-series theme.
Looking at the left-hand side, a wheel controls the volume and a button toggles the microphone on and off, removing the need for inline controls found on most other models of this ilk.
G1, G2, G3 buttons can be configured to interact with iTunes, Windows Media Player, WinAMP, voice morphing, general audio, Power DVD, WinDVD, and Ventrilo, and each can sub-control various functions. For example, G1 can be set to launch iTunes, G2 to go to the previous track, and G3 to skip to the next - you get the idea. You can also create custom profiles that remember the key usage for various applications - handy if there's more than one user for a particular PC.

Voice morphing is a fun way
of altering
your dulcet tones into something altogether different. Click on one of
six pre-programmed alterations, speak into the microphone, and you can
hear the altered voice just under a second later with the voice preview
active. The one highlighted in red
closely resembles LOTR Gollum's, and that's how other players hooked
into the same game will hear you.
On a more pertinent note for gamers, TeamSpeak (2) and Xfire are supported by the G35s, as well as the aforementioned Ventrilo.

Flick the Dolby switch
(shown
above) and the surround sound processing, based on Dolby Pro Logic II,
is activated; otherwise,
it's plain 2.0, or stereo.
