If you're seeking an immersive and uninterrupted gaming experience, the Logitech G522 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset is the perfect choice. With its LIGHTSPEED wireless connectivity, it offers virtually no lag and complete freedom of movement. The sound quality is impressive, capturing every game detail with precision. Its ergonomic design ensures comfort during long sessions, and the long-lasting battery lets you play without worrying about recharging. A must-have for every gamer!

Don’t let this lightweight headset fool you, logitech did an amaIng job with this headset. You can connect the headset via dongle, Bluetooth or USB-C. In my opnion it has amazing sound! The EQ is fully customizable via the Logitech G Hub, you can download the off their website. It will allow you to fully customize your headset. You can change it up to your liking or use some of the preset EQ settings that are available and you can also control the RGB which is located on the side of both ear cups. It also features spatial sound powered by DTS Sound Unbound you can download it from the Microsoft store or on the xbox store. The only problem with using DTS is that it is not free. They are very comfortable and allow for long gaming sessions without the earcups starting to bother you. I like how this fits users with big ears just like me. Other than that it is an amazing headset if you’re in the market for some crispy sound combined with comfort.

I returned another headset I had because it was heavy and hurt my head. This one has all the same features (bluetooth, wi-fi, wiresless, etc.) but is very light and comfortable. The charge is lasting a long time too which I'm very happy about. Unfortunately, -1 star ⭐ because the mic is not a flexible piece, it is a single hard piece that can only be inserted into a fixed position and removed if not needed... not very convenient if wanting to move it out of the way for just a moment or two. Mine is in the box for safekeeping, but even to show it for a pic I'd have to go through a lot of effort to unearth it. So my pic is just of the hole where it goes for it's fixed position. Adding a small joint piece could make it both a detachable AND flexible mic piece, it wouldn't take much extra to accomplish yet set the headset far ahead of competition. Something for logitech to consider.

I really enjoy these headphones really lightweight dont hurt my head and the mic is amazing qulaity and the battery last for a long time.

Coming from the G733's, I was a tad bit apprehensive at first given the fact the G733's had by far the worst audio quality of any headset I've ever had. Of course out of the box they sound bad but when you start playing with the equalizer settings it gets better. But where these REALLY shine is with DTS Headphone:X AND Dolby Atmos for Headphones. I was surprised that these worked with the Dolby Atmos app given the fact the G733's did not. With these 2 apps this headset really comes alive. I found for competitive gaming, the DTS spatial audio was where it was at. For general gaming and Youtubing, Dolby Atmos sounded amazing. Both give them a substantial audio boost over the 40mm drivers. Having both of these as an option really elevated these headphones tremendously. Oh and they have really cool RGB which automatically by default puts them in the highest headphone tier possible.

I have used these headphones for 6 months already. I have no complaints. Best headphones I’ve ever owned The sound quality of the G522 is great, you dont even notice a difference when it is plugged It is pretty comfortable and not heavy at all, you can also adjust it to fit the right size for you The battery life is amazing tbh, i use them for long periods of time and i have to charge them sometimes after few weeks. The best part of this is that i even use them when charging as they can work when plugged Definitely worth the price

Light weight with good sound only down side is mic breaks on third pair

These headphones are well-packaged, very comfortable and easy to use. They have a loud enough sound and a convenient control.

Great design, beautiful iluminations, very comfortable headset. Satisfied for 100%

love the customizable RGB! they are super easy to use and lightweight so they wont hurt your head. my only complaint is the audio quality in fps games is not the best even with the audio adjusted in the app. perfect if you are looking for an aesthetic comfy headset.

Honestly, these headphones are priced perfectly and work fantastic. The audio is Krystal clear and I can hear my opponent from a mile away

No issues. Great battery life, clear communications, easy plug & use.

Great sound , super loud even at 50% super clear and audible.

PROS: * Comfort * Build quality * Sound * Mic * USB-C Connectivity CONS: * No traveling case included * I wish it was cross-platform compatible (Xbox, Playstation, Switch, PC) Logitech has quickly become one of my favorite all-around PC accessory brands. Established in 1981, the company has gained popularity over the last decade. They specialize in affordable products that maintain a high standard of quality. While I own Logitech keyboards, mice, computer speakers, and several other accessories, this is my first experience with their headphones. For comparison, I'm evaluating the Logitech G522 alongside the Sony H9 Wireless headset, which is specifically designed for the PS5. Although the G522 isn't explicitly designed for the PS5 (it's compatible), it's the closest competitor I have available. Both headphones share similar features and visual elements that make them stand out in style. Right off the bat, I noticed how stylish these headphones are. After using numerous generic designs over the years, which often look similar, I appreciated the unique look of these. They are predominantly black with purple and blue accents, giving them a futuristic feel without looking overly "gamer-like." Two major factors determine the quality of headphones: sound and comfort. Everything else can be evaluated based on these two criteria. These headphones are incredibly comfortable. They are lightweight and have a minimalist design, making them easy to wear with minimal adjustments. I have a larger-than-average head, and these headphones fit perfectly without squeezing or causing any discomfort. The Sony H9s, while comfortable, are heavier than the G522s once they are adjusted. The strap of the G522, specifically, is much more flexible, which elevates comfort to another level. With comfort out of the way, sound comes next. The sound on these is incredible! They are on par with the H9s, which makes the G522s a fantastic value. They are retailing for $160, while the H9s are $230! That's a $70 difference, which is wild considering how well the G522s perform. When it comes to movies and games, the G522s are just as impressive as the H9s. Although the H9s come with built-in "3D Audio" for the PS5, PC users can access third-party programs that provide similar audio experiences to the G522s. They do, however, have spatial audio, which provides a nearly identical experience to 3D audio. The mobile App allows you to connect through your phone, enabling you to optimize and customize your sound according to your preferences. This feature is particularly beneficial for music listeners, as sound quality can be highly subjective. What truly sets the G522s apart is their microphone quality. For clear communication, having a good microphone is essential, and the G522s deliver clearer audio than the H9s, which enhances their overall value. Equipped with Bluetooth 5.3, the G522s offer an impressive battery life of 90 hours without lighting effects and 40 hours with them enabled. They are easy to switch between PC and PS5, and we experienced no connectivity issues with either device. I don't have many complaints about these headphones. However, one minor issue is that they were compatible with more than just the PlayStation. We also have an Xbox and a Switch, so it would be great if we could use these headphones with all of our consoles. They come with a USB adapter, which suggests that they could be made compatible with other consoles or come with additional adapters. I understand that there may be licensing agreements that I'm not aware of. Another downside is that they don't include a travel case, which is disappointing, as most, if not all, of our other gaming headsets come with a case. Considering the price of $160 and the quality of the headphones, I understand if they needed to cut costs by not including a case. However, it would be nice to have a simple, minimal case for when we're not using the headset. That wouldn't significantly increase the overall price, right? Considering their comfort, sound quality, and design, I wouldn't be surprised if these headphones became the preferred choice for PlayStation gamers. While there are many excellent headphone options for PCs, choices for PlayStation are more limited. Priced at $160, these headphones perform well above their cost and are the most comfortable gaming headphones I've ever used. Thanks to these headphones, Logitech's G Series is becoming something that I'm keeping my eyes on. I already have one of their more expensive keyboards, but I'm intrigued with the G Series keyboard, which should match the quality and value of the G522 headphones. We have a winner on our hands with this G series, folks.

Love the build quality on these. The RGB color cups is a q nice touch. Easy to connect and to charge!

As a big fan of Logitech peripherals, I was excited to try out the new Logitech G522 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset for PC. Right out of the box, I was surprised at just how light these are, weighing in at 290g. The matte finish plastic on the headset feels sturdy and does not show any greasy fingerprints on it. The ear-cups are wider with a nice soft memory foam that is wrapped in a soft, breathable fabric for those long gaming sessions. I didn’t once feel sweaty or hot while wearing them. Though I do wish the earcups foam were magnetic, so that they are easier to change down the road. The suspension headband has a low-profile, and includes airflow‑grip ridges, where it doesn't put too much pressure on your head and the earcups can raise or lower in order to get the perfect fit. Setting up for the Logitech G522 is very easy. Download the Logitech G-Hub app and plug in the USB-A Lightspeed dongle to your PC. The G-Hub app will automatically detect the headset and prompt you to update the headsets firmware, so plug in the USB-C to USB-A charging cable and do the update. Once finished you will be able to customize the sound profile EQ up to 10‑bands and give you access to the DTS spatial sound app. The side-facing LIGHTSYNC RGB spans 8 different zones, with over 16.8 million colors that is fully customizable. The detachable boom mic captures in at 48 kHz/16‑bit, and is equipped with BLUE VO!CE which allows for clean, broadcast-quality speech clarity for party chat or streaming. Battery life is great in that it offers up to 60 hours Battery life with RGB off. This headset also allows for Bluetooth connection and you can download the G-Hub app on your phone, which allows you to also customize the headset settings right from your phone. One little Nitpick is that you can not use the Lightspeed mode and Bluetooth connections at the same time, where you could have a podcast going on your phone and then your PC game audio both coming out at the same time. Not a huge issue, but knowing the Logitech's Astro headsets offer it, it would have been a nice addition for the G522’s. Inside the G522 are the 40 mm “PRO‑G” graphene drivers that deliver 48 kHz/24‑bit sound for clean highs and lows. This allows for hearing those footsteps and distant distance shots especially when playing competitive shooters or immersive RPGs. The G522 says it's for PC but I was able to use it with my PS5 Pro and the Nintendo Switch 2 docked, and in handheld mode, but I did have to get a USB-C to USB-A adapter in order to use it handheld mode. I do wish they made the Lightspeed dongle USB-C or at least include an adapter in the box for situations like the Switch 2 and then for laptops that have USB-A Ports. Pros Lightweight 290 g design 48 kHz/24‑bit PRO‑G drivers = crisp, immersive sound Detachable Broadcast‑quality mic with BLUE VO!CE Massive 60 Hour battery Customization via G HUB Cons No Duel Lightspeed and BT mode USB-A Dongle Overall, as someone who loves the Logitech gaming ecosystem, it's hard not to recommend the G522’s with its 40mm drivers, broadcast quality microphone, and the light speed connection. It really does check all the boxes for a wireless gaming microphone and I highly recommend it.

The Logitech 522 gaming headset are a comfortable multi platform gaming headset with cool RGB lighting. Unboxing, you get the headset with detachable mic,LIGHTSPEED wireless receiver and USB C cable. Battery life Logitech says you get up to 70 hours without lighting and 30 with lighting on. Bluetooth version is 5.3 so you get good range of up to 98 feet and less interference. My main platform I’ll be using these with is the PS5, but I got a Nintendo Switch 2 and wanted to try it with that and they worked with it also. I had both sound and voice chat, I don’t know if you get all the benefits with the Switch 2 but they did sound good. In terms of usage with the PS5 while playing MW3 they give you good situational awareness and depth of sound. The removable mic provides clear voice chat. All controls are on the left ear piece, with a slide switch to turn the headset on and off, push button to mute and a wheel for volume. Comfort wise these are extremely comfortable and offer ample adjustability that even if you have a large head you’ll find them to comfortable. The 522s are lightweight, comfortable and provide great sound and voice chat for multi platform use.

This is a fantastic, lightweight gaming headset. It hits a lot of high points with spacious ear cups, a washable head strap, and memory foam ear pads that skip the faux leather for a likely much longer-lasting fabric. Sound is great by default, with easy EQ adjustment through apps on both mobile and desktop. Battery life is great, and while there isn’t any noise cancelling here, it does have decent passive sound isolation. RGB on the ear cups rounds out the fun… (even if you won’t see it yourself all that often) __ Sound __ With any headset, you’ll want crisp clarity on the wavelengths that matter. Logitech provides several simple profiles to help boost aspects of the sound to help with gaming, to boost bass, and more. By default, the standard profile seemed slightly hollow to my ears, but with slight tweaking, I’m loving the sound. Most modern headsets do a good job, and this is no exception. This is not a noise cancelling headset, but I find it’s big ear cups more than capable of blocking nearby noises when actively listening to music or while gaming. The included, detachable microphone is simple and cleanly designed. It lays flat nicely for tucking into a bag or drawer when not in use. __ Design __ I actually love this design. While RGB brings the color to this otherwise dark-grey headset, it has a tasteful form that gives a modern impression. The plastic itself feels somewhat mid-grade, but it achieves an amazingly lightweight feel on your head as a result - and I have no doubt that it’s still plenty durable. The ear cups are easily adjusted up and down over the white RGB area, while the headband gets some additional adjustment by clipping each side of the headband fabric into one of two connection points on either side. Near this you’ll find some small braille patterns that may help users with vision impairments identify 'L' and 'R'. With its hefty ear cups, it seems pretty wide while wearing. I think it looks fine, and while you won’t see your RGB selection all that often yourself, it provides a bit of fun for others and when you take them off. I like what Logitech did here, placing the light show at the center of the band connections. The frosted white color and subtle ripple texture seems like a nice, aesthetic choice. The rather generous memory foam pads on these ear cups create a wider than usual cavity inside. Each is fairly spacious in all dimensions, likely making this a great headset for people with larger ears. These, paired with the lightweight design in general, makes for a headset that’s comfortable. If there’s any real downside, it’s that they don’t breathe as well as some other options - but even then, I only noticed slight warming of my ears after listening for a while. The only other real downside was that this foam had a decently strong chemical smell for about a week after opening the box. Not great, but it did eventually go away. Controls on the left ear cup are straightforward and easy to feel for. The volume dial is especially nice, allowing for much finer volume adjustment than my default PC volume controls. The mobile and desktop apps were nice and allowed for an easy firmware update upon getting these. Like other apps, it provides the basics of EQ adjustments, a handy battery protection setting (charge to 80% for longevity), as well as simple choices for the RGB. These changes update the product image to reflect your selections within the app too - ultimately not that important, but a nice indicator. __ Summary __ If you’re in the market for a gaming headset that’s designed for gaming, RGB and all, then this is a great choice. It’s feels very light on the head, has easy to feel for controls, and sounds great. Its spacious ear cups may create a bulkier look than some other options out there, but it’s undoubtedly a great option for those with larger ears. *** Good Stuff *** - Lightweight feel. - Very spacious ear cups (likely good for those with larger ears). - RGB is ultimately unnecessary, but fun. - Sound quality is good, but a bit hollow by default. - Battery protection mode. - Detachable microphone is nicely offset from face while attached, and folds flat when not in use. *** Less than Good Stuff *** - Does not fold together or fold flat - ear cups always separated by around 3”. Best for desk use, not travel. - Memory foam cups had chemical smell for about a week. - Looks quite big on the head, chunky by design. - No noise cancelling.

Logitech headphones are common in my house and when this Lightspeed 522 came out & I could round out my entire mouse/keyboard/headset to be Lightspeed, I was in! TL;DR for those that want the good vs bad & details below. Good: Comfort & Weight Sliding Power Button Smooth sliding volume adjustment Audio clarity Voice clarity G Hub customizations Sidetone Capability Mute lighting on mic Can charge & play at the same time Battery Life Mute Button vs lifting mic Meh: Dynamic lighting & windows interaction Mic contour / bend Bad: Early Release software glitches I am onto my 3rd pair of Logitech Gaming Headphones and the Lightspeed G522 is my favorite wireless model. I'll skip over packaging and go right to the tech. A detachable microphone is in a little bag in the box and at first, I thought the microphone may have been internal but luckily not. A few unique things for the headset, of which some I do enjoy and others maybe not so much. I love the on/off slider vs holding a button to power on/off. I love the volume wheel being smooth and not clicky. I love the detachable mic, however I don't like the bend radius for it as it seems like it may be too far away. A push button for mute isn't unique, but the fact that it lights up a red light on my microphone to remind me that it's muted - is great. Now, I have the Lightspeed G309 mouse & G515TKL keyboard and those use their own dongle. This headset also uses its own dongle so now I have 3 different dongles hanging off of my usb dock - I don't love it, but it's not killing me either. Comfort wise, it's light and very comfortable. I find that I can do multi-hour sessions with ease and after maybe 9 hours, the headphones were still around 50% remaining. Not that it's a deal breaker (if you needed longer battery life), as you can still play when it's charging. There's a band at the top, to pad you from the plastic headband and it is implemented much better than other Logitech wireless headphones. Whenever possible, I use Discord for group chat during gaming and according to my friends - this G522 is the best headset I've ever been on and that's saying something! From crisp audio clarity to game sounds, this headset is great, regardless of the lack of bend capability of the mic. The G Hub software quickly recognized the headset and had a firmware update for it; oddly it wanted to be connected via Lightspeed as well as hard-wired to USB-C. Speaking of the software, since this is a new product as of June 2025, there are some software glitches. I enjoy 'sidetone' - like "hear through" or "transparency mode" when I play games. In this current release, to get "sidetone" working, it's tough to find and you have to stay IN the settings menu that has the slider, otherwise it turns off. After engaging Logitech Support, they believe a fix is coming in future software. If you wanted to adjust the lighting - the G Hub software is pretty easy to use, however Windows takes over your lighting by default calling it "Dynamic Lighting." To get more access via G Hub, you need to disable the Dynamic Lighting in Windows - not tough, but something to note. Blue Voice in G Hub is pretty good too, allowing some voice tone manipulation and existing sound schemes can be copied to new versions that you can tune and tweak as fits your needs. Me, I didn't find the need - but I do know people that customize per game for the "perfect" sound. Overall, I have had a great experience with these headphones and highly recommend them!

The Logitech G522 Lightspeed gaming headset is a terrific value in a crowded arena of wireless headsets. One of the first things you will notice about this headset before you even turn it on was how light the headset is. The adjustable fabric headband keeps the hard plastic portion of the headband from touching your head creating a floating sensation while wearing. The earcups are large and ample enough to cover my entire ear eliminating any pressure put on your ears. The headset also does not clamp down on your head, adding to the comfortableness of the headset. Out of all the headsets I have ever used, this is the lightest and most comfortable headset ever. As for how the sound works, it’s great. I wouldn’t expect any less from a Logitech product. The music is clear and loud with great bass response. Videos play with great dynamic range. And detail in sound quality helps you play first person shooters allowing you to hear things inside your game spatially. The Lightspeed dongle connected to my Windows 11 PC produces absolutely no lag in video to sound interpretation. Solid connection while walking around the house and still hearing sound from videos playing on my computer. A nice feature is that the headset has three connection options: Lightspeed dongle, Bluetooth, and USB-C wired. Switching between Lightspeed on my computer to Bluetooth on my phone requires only a simple button push once everything is paired. A downside is that you can only use one mode at a time, that is, you cannot have your headset play sound from Lightspeed and Bluetooth at the same time. The microphone is an area of love and hate for me. The positive side is that the microphone is fantastic. Using the Logitech G Hub app, you can customize your voice to sound the way you want. Everything is clear and if you believe the internet, the mic is one of the best on the market. Everyone on the other side comments on how clear I come through voice chats. The bad part is how the microphone is connected to the headset. Just like some of the more expensive gaming headsets, the microphone is plugged into the headset using a 3.5mm TRS port. This allows you to unplug the mic from the headset and only use the G522 as headphones. However, now it means I must keep track of the microphone. I would prefer the ability to just fold the mic out of the way, but that is not how this one is set up. The mic may get in your way if you are looking down. Nevertheless, you are getting a great mic and lightweight headset with great sound reproduction at a very attractive price. Using the G Hub app, you can completely customize the headset. One setting that is missing is Aware mode or Surrounding mode. Aware mode is when you are wearing the headset, the sound around you are piped into your headset while you are wearing the headset allowing you to keep track of your surroundings. If this feature was available, I would probably be wearing this headset all day long while I am around the house. Perhaps that is a firmware updatable feature but for the purpose of gaming and being completely immersed in the game, this headset excels and surpasses all my expectations.
