Best High-End Pick1 of 7
Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed Wireless on Amazon (opens in a new tab)
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.
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.
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. The maker doesn't give its weight; if that figure matters, the G435 weighs 165g.
Key dimensions & specs
- Battery life: 50 hours
- Driver size: 50mm
- Connection: Lightspeed 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, 3.5mm
- Microphone: Detachable 6mm cardioid
Pros
- Up to 50 hours of battery life
- 50mm drivers
- Dual wireless: dongle plus Bluetooth
- Graphene drivers
Cons
- No published weight
- Costs more than the G432 at the time of writing
Longest Battery Life2 of 7
Logitech G522 Lightspeed Wireless on Amazon (opens in a new tab)
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.
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. The maker doesn't give its driver size; if that figure matters, the G PRO X 2 comes in at 50mm.
Key dimensions & specs
- Battery life: 60 hours
- Weight: 280g
- Connection: Lightspeed 2.4GHz
- Microphone: 48kHz/16-bit
Pros
- Up to 60 hours of battery life
- Light 280g build
- 48kHz/24-bit audio
- Full-bandwidth 48kHz microphone
Cons
- No published driver size
- Weight trails the G435 (165g)
- Costs more than the G432 at the time of writing
Best for Smaller Heads3 of 7
Logitech G735 Wireless on Amazon (opens in a new tab)
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 look elsewhere if that figure decides it for you.
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.
Key dimensions & specs
- Weight: 273g
- Connection: Lightspeed 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, 3.5mm
- Microphone: Detachable with Blue VO!CE

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. Buyers who need a confirmed weight should compare it with the G435, which weighs 165g.

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 batter rules it out for your setup.
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.
Key dimensions & specs
- Battery life: 18 hours
- Driver size: 40mm
- Weight: 165g

Best for
- Consoles and PC.
Skip if
- Skip it if driver size matters most to you; the G PRO X 2 offers 50mm.

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. The maker doesn't give its battery life; if that figure matters, the G522 runs for 60 hours.

Best for
- Tight budgets.
Skip if
- Skip it if you need to know its weight before buying; the maker doesn't publish one.
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.

How We Chose These Logitech Gaming Headsets
Each pick was assessed across 4 criteria weighted for real-world use.
- Microphone
- We checked whether a microphone is included, detachable or noise-rejecting.
- Battery and weight
- We compared rated battery life and weight where makers state them, noting where lighting affects the battery claim.
- Platform support
- We checked which consoles and PCs each maker names, and flagged Xbox-specific connections.
- Drivers and design
- We noted driver size and whether the design is open or closed, which shapes sound and isolation.
What to Look for in a Logitech Gaming Headset
Key buying criteria so you get the right fit the first time.
Pick the connection first
A 2.4GHz dongle gives the lowest latency for games; Bluetooth is convenient for phones but lags for shooters. Wired headsets have no latency or battery concerns.
If you play on a console as well as a PC, check which connections each platform supports before buying.
Weight and clamp matter after an hour
Lighter headsets reduce pressure on the top of the head, and memory foam or fabric pads stay cooler. A difference of 50g is noticeable over long sessions.
If you wear glasses, look for soft pads that do not press the arms into your head.
Check the microphone type
Detachable microphones let the headset double as everyday headphones. Some audiophile headphones have no microphone at all, so you would need a separate one.
If you stream or join calls, a cardioid or noise-rejecting mic is worth prioritising.
Console versions are not always interchangeable
Some wireless headsets come in PC, PlayStation and Xbox versions with different dongles. An Xbox-specific model may not connect wirelessly to a PlayStation.
Buy the version that matches every system you plan to use.
Open-back or closed-back
Open-back headphones sound more spacious and feel cooler, but they leak sound and block little outside noise. Closed-back models isolate better in shared rooms.
Choose open-back only if you play in a quiet room on your own.
Battery life claims vary with lighting
Makers quote battery life under their own conditions, often with RGB lighting off. A 50-hour claim can drop noticeably with lighting on.
Compare figures at similar settings, and look for fast charging if you forget to plug in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bluetooth good enough for gaming?
For casual games it is fine, but 2.4GHz dongles have noticeably lower latency. Use the dongle for competitive play.
Can I use one headset on PC and console?
Many can, but check the connection for each system. Xbox-specific wireless headsets often need a matching adapter or Bluetooth on PC.
Do I need a separate microphone?
Only if your headphones do not include one or you stream. Most gaming headsets include a usable microphone.
Do wired headsets sound better than wireless ones?
Not necessarily. Driver quality and tuning matter more, but wired models avoid compression, latency and charging.
Are open-back headphones good for gaming?
They give a wide, natural soundstage but leak sound and block little noise. They suit quiet rooms, not shared spaces.
Should I turn on virtual surround?
Try it in each game. It can help with positioning in some titles and make others sound hollow.
Bottom Line
The G PRO X 2 is the high-end pick. The G522 has the best-specified mic, and the G435 is the lightest.
