Logitech G535 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Headset - Lightweight on-Ear Headphones flip to Mute mic Stereo USB Rechargeable -

Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset As a player who spends hours in intense sessions, I was looking for wireless headphones that did not give problems, that were comfortable and that delivered clean audio without delays. These G535 fulfill that role more than enough. Sound quality The audio is clearly above average for this price range. The steps, shots and effects are heard defined, and the sound separation is precise enough to locate enemies effortlessly. It's not "premium audiophile" audio, but for competitive gaming it works wonderfully. Microphone This point is where they surprised me the most. I have never had falls, interference or strange noise. My teammates always tell me that it sounds "clean and direct", without that compressed sound typical of many wireless headsets. To play online, the microphone performance is reliable. LIGHTSPEED Connectivity The wireless experience is literally connecting the USB and forgetting. There are no complicated configurations, no noticeable delay and no loss of quality is felt. The LIGHTSPEED system does exactly what it promises: low real latency. Comfort They are lightweight and the elastic band design means you can wear them for hours without feeling pressure. For long sessions, they fulfill very well. Points to consider • They do not include Bluetooth, only the LIGHTSPEED dongle. • The bass could be a little deeper for music, although for gaming it is balanced. Color and design The design is modern, clean and feels more "pro" than what they cost. The black color with subtle accents gives it a serious, elegant and gamer look without falling into the exaggerated. They don't look like toys; they look like serious equipment. Who are they for? If you play on PC and want fast, reliable and uncomplicated wireless headphones, these G535s are an excellent choice. They are not the most "premium" on the market, but in terms of value for money they are in a very strong area. Read more

Pros: - LONG battery life. From a full charge, logged 9hrs while working from home and had 77% battery the next day. Great for those who may not be using this headset on a daily basis (or those who are and forget about charging daily!). - USB-C charging connectivity (A to C cable supplied, high quality, long length). - Lightspeed dongle is small and discrete. - Comfort: (YMMV... I'm a male in mid 20s with a medium sized head... I think?) after a few days of playing around with the ski band placement and earcup position, I finally found a setup that worked for me. I have stud earrings and found some higher positions of the earcups were originally pressing on my lobes and causing some discomfort. Switching the band to the larger position and bringing the earcups down allowed me to seat everything nicely without any discomfort. Wore the headphones all day while working from home and forgot I wasn't wearing my usual headphones (Beyerdynamic DT770... Which are my top choice for headphone comfort). - Logi GHub connectivity/customizations are decent. Simple volume, mic volume, sidetone (hearing your voice thru mic with no latency), audio EQ customization (with presets and custom settings) - Doesnt look super "gamer-y"... a good plus if I need video on during a (professional) call. - Flip to mute mic is great. I dont like having to deal with a removable mic or a fixed mic. The hardware based muting of the G535 mic is convenient and easy and doesnt require much finger dexterity... Allows me to mute on Discord or Teams while AFK. - Volume wheel and power button are smartly and intuitively placed and sized. Only a couple times have I accidentally brushed the volume wheel with the hood of my sweatshirt, but this only clicks the volume up a notch or two. Cons: - Noise cancelling is pretty weak. No active noise cancelling (but you wouldnt expect that at this price). Not much isolation from surrounding sounds, but this wasn't a large drawback for me as I play in relatively quiet environments - Mic quality: its a 2.4ghz wireless mic, so you have the usual downsides. Reduced high end, thinner bottom end. Its fine! But clarity suffers a little due to the intrinsic qualities of WIRELESS HEADSET technology. Please note that THIS MIC IS PERFECTLY FINE FOR GAMING, WORK CALLS, AND OTHER GENERAL COMMS PURPOSES! - Sound Quality: its fine! I do audio recording and mixing, so I'm biased when it comes to any set of headphones. My Beyerdynamic DT770 have a very wide soundstage, clear highs, articulated bass, and balanced mid range. I spend maybe 12 hours a day using the DT770s and love them for everything (aside from being wired). The G535 are fine for casual gaming, calls, video watching, and music listening. The default flat EQ is very acceptable, and I only tuned it a small amount to increase the high end, soften some mid range resonances, and add some weight in the low end. The stereo soundstage is a little muddy, but all wireless "gaming" headsets that I have tried in the past suffer from this- I would liken it to feeling like you are underwater and the sound is surrounding you equally and internally. Again, these headphones are PERFECTLY FINE for gaming, calls, video, and music. I wouldn't try to mix any audio, analyze new music, or try to take in a renowned movie soundtrack with this headset. Again I'm using my Beyerdynamic DT770s as reference here (the cadillac of headphones in my eyes)- they excel at being wired headphones with articulated qualities for music recording and mixing environments (and theyre great for CSGO with their better isolation qualities). - No bluetooth, but I have a pair of galaxy buds that I use with phone/laptop... And I can always throw the USB lightspeed dongle in my laptop and crack out the G535s! Overall verdict: The G535 are my first forray into wireless gaming headsets, and I am beyond impressed by what it offers (especially for $80 on sale)! It is adaptable to many head shapes and sizes (both youth and adult), has an incredible battery life, delivers good audio and mic quality for wireless headsets (better than cheaper $50 random brands), has great controls (both physical and software) without overwhelming the user or offering too much unnecessary functionality - very plug and play. I would definitely recommend this headset to anyone looking to make a worthwhile purchase without breaking the bank (say, the Gpro wireless). Read more

OVERALL: Overall I'm impressed with the sound quality the headset can produce. Its a lightweight headset with a very conformable design. The elastic band that runs across the chassis is extremely soft and confrontable. I think my favorite design choice is the flip up mic that activates and deactivates based on its position! The ear muffs are also quite comfortable being made of a memory foam like material. NEGATIVES (NOT LOUD VOLUME ISSUE AND FIX) : My only complaint is once you set up your headset with the GHUB software and try it on is that its just not that loud. Even with the volume knob maxed, Windows audio maxed, it is not as loud as other headsets on the market. I was quite disappointed and was about to return the product. There is a fix. On Windows if you go into SYSTEM > SOUND you should be able to see the headset connected under Headset Earphone Logitech G535 Lightspeed Wireless.... click on [ Headset Earphone Logitech G535 etc..] scroll down to [Audio Enhancements] and click on [Disable] This will noticeably increase the volume on the headset quite significantly. You will still have surround sound enabled as well. However by default when you reboot your computer this will be turned on requiring you to turn it back off. Annoying, I wish Logitech would take audio levels into consideration when developing their audio enhancing software. In conclusion overall I love this headset but do keep in mind it requires some end user changes to make it perfect! Read more
