Our Picks

Best High-End Pick1 of 7

Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed Wireless

The G PRO X 2 is the most complete wireless headset here: Lightspeed for low-latency games, Bluetooth for a phone and a 3.5mm cable for a controller, all around 50mm graphene drivers.

Best for

Esports and PC.

Skip if

Its weight is not published, which rules it out if you need that number.
Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed Wireless

Why we like it

Its detachable 6mm cardioid mic lets it double as everyday headphones. On battery life it sits mid-pack at 50 hours: the G522 runs for 60 hours, and the G435 comes in at 18 hours. It matches the G432 on driver size (50mm).

You get a detachable 6mm cardioid microphone here, which sets it apart from the G432 and its a 6mm flip-to-mute boom microphone. You also get a USB-A dongle with a 3.5mm pass-through port. On a PC, use the Lightspeed dongle for games and keep Bluetooth for a phone, since Bluetooth adds latency.

A 3.5mm plug means it works with a controller or front-panel jack; on PC, a separate mic and headphone jack may need a splitter. It was the highest-priced of the 7 picks at the time of writing, so the case for it rests on what it adds over the G735 and the rest.

  • Dual wireless: dongle plus Bluetooth
  • Graphene drivers

Cons

  • No published weight
  • Costs more than the G432 at the time of writing

The catch

The maker doesn't give its weight; if that figure matters, the G435 weighs 165g.

Longest Battery Life2 of 7

Logitech G522 Lightspeed Wireless

The G522 is built around voice: Logitech offers a full-bandwidth 48kHz microphone alongside 48kHz/24-bit audio.

Best for

Long sessions away from a charging cable.

Skip if

Its driver size is not published, which rules it out if you need that number.
Logitech G522 Lightspeed Wireless

Why we like it

It weighs 280g and offers up to 60 hours with lighting off. Its 60 hours battery life is the longest here; the G PRO X 2 comes next at 50 hours. Its 280g weight is the heaviest in this group; the G435 leads at 165g.

Like the G733, it has a lightspeed 2.4GHz connection, while the G335 uses a wired 3.5mm connection. You get a 48kHz/16-bit microphone here, which sets it apart from the G435 and its a dual beamforming (built-in) microphone. It connects through a USB wireless dongle, so keep a free USB port near your desk for the best range. On price it sat fifth of 7, between the cheaper G733 and the pricier G735, at the time of writing.

Logitech G735 Wireless

Logitech's G735 is sized for smaller heads, according to the maker, and offers Lightspeed, Bluetooth and 3.5mm.

Best for

Smaller heads.

Skip if

The maker gives no battery life, so skip it if that figure decides your choice.
Logitech G735 Wireless

Why we like it

Its Blue VO!CE mic detaches. Its 273g weight ranks third of 4 here, behind the G435 (165g) and ahead of the G522 (280g). It shares a detachable with Blue VO!CE microphone with the G733; the G PRO X 2 goes with a detachable 6mm cardioid microphone.

It also offers three connection modes. On a PC, use the Lightspeed dongle for games and keep Bluetooth for a phone, since Bluetooth adds latency. A 3.5mm plug means it works with a controller or front-panel jack; on PC, a separate mic and headphone jack may need a splitter.

Its price falls between the G522 and the G PRO X 2, based on our last check. Buyers who need a confirmed battery life should compare it with the G522, which runs for 60 hours.

Chat and games.

Skip it if this is a deal-breaker for you: shorter 29-hour battery.
Logitech G733 Lightspeed Wireless

Why we like it

It has 29 hours of battery life. On battery life it sits mid-pack at 29 hours: the G522 runs for 60 hours, and the G435 comes in at 18 hours. It matches the G435 and the G335 on driver size (40mm).

Like the G522, it has a lightspeed 2.4GHz connection, while the G335 uses a wired 3.5mm connection. It shares a detachable with Blue VO!CE microphone with the G735; the G335 goes with a flip-to-mute microphone. You also get Lightsync RGB.

It connects through a USB wireless dongle, so keep a free USB port near your desk for the best range. Its price falls between the G435 and the G522, based on our last check.

Lightest Build5 of 7

Logitech G435 Lightspeed Wireless

Logitech's G435 weighs 165g and hides beamforming mics in the earcups instead of using a boom.

Best for

Long sessions where clamp and weight add up.

Skip if

Pass on it if shorter 18-hour battery rules it out for your setup.
Logitech G435 Lightspeed Wireless

Why we like it

The maker notes it does not support Xbox. Its 18 hours battery life is the shortest in this group; the G522 leads at 60 hours. On driver size it ties with the G733 and the G335 at 40mm.

Nothing else here matches its 165g weight; the G335 comes closest at 240g. It is the only pick here with a dual beamforming (built-in) microphone; the G335 has a flip-to-mute microphone instead. On a PC, use the Lightspeed dongle for games and keep Bluetooth for a phone, since Bluetooth adds latency.

When we checked, only the G335 and cheaper picks cost less, and the G733 cost more. Battery life is its weakest area, and the G522 covers it better at 60 hours.

Skip it if driver size matters most to you; the G PRO X 2 offers 50mm.
Logitech G335 Wired Gaming Headset

Why we like it

It matches the G733 and the G435 on driver size (40mm). Its 240g weight ranks second of 4 here, behind the G435 (165g) and ahead of the G522 (280g). It is the only pick here with a wired 3.5mm connection; the G432 has a wired USB DAC and 3.5mm connection instead.

You get a flip-to-mute microphone here, which sets it apart from the G432 and its a 6mm flip-to-mute boom microphone. It also offers memory foam ear pads. A 3.5mm plug means it works with a controller or front-panel jack; on PC, a separate mic and headphone jack may need a splitter. On price it sat second of 7, between the cheaper G432 and the pricier G435, at the time of writing.

Logitech G432 Wired 7.1 Gaming Headset

Why we like it

Its 6mm mic flips up to mute. On driver size it ties with the G PRO X 2 at 50mm. A wired USB DAC and 3.5mm connection is unique to it among these picks, while the G733 uses a lightspeed 2.4GHz connection.

It is the only pick here with a 6mm flip-to-mute boom microphone; the G PRO X 2 has a detachable 6mm cardioid microphone instead. USB and 3.5mm options let it move between a PC and a controller. No other pick here cost less at our last price check, and the G335 was closest. If you want a confirmed battery life, look to the G522 instead: it runs for 60 hours, while this one gives no figure.

What to Look for in a Logitech Gaming Headset

Key buying criteria so you get the right fit the first time.
