Does the G432 need software for surround sound?

Yes. DTS Headphone:X 2.0 virtual 7.1 runs through Logitech G HUB on PC. On consoles it works as a standard stereo 3.5 mm headset.

Does it work on PS5 and Xbox Series X?

Yes, through the 3.5 mm jack on the controller. Surround processing is PC-only; consoles get stereo audio.

Is the microphone detachable?

No. The 6 mm boom mic flips up to mute but stays attached to the headset.

How does it compare with the G335 or G Pro X?

The G432 adds virtual surround the G335 lacks and costs less than the G Pro X, but the G Pro X has a detachable cable, a better mic and sturdier build.

Can I use it for music and calls?

Yes, but it is tuned for games. Bass is modest and the mic favors voice chat over clean recording.

Our take on the Logitech G432 Surround Sound Wired Gaming Headset

The Logitech G432 is a wired over-ear gaming headset with 50 mm drivers and DTS Headphone:X 2.0 virtual 7.1 surround sound. It connects by a 3.5 mm plug and works across PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch, with a flip-to-mute boom mic and an inline volume wheel. It is a budget-minded step below Logitech's wireless G733 and the higher-end G Pro X, trading wireless freedom and a detachable cable for a simple, low-latency wired setup. Owners like the light 9.9 oz build and clear positional audio; the common complaints are a plasticky feel, thin bass and a mic that picks up room noise.
