Logitech - G533 Wireless Over-the-Ear Headphones - Black

Its a great headset, I love the bass, definitly an upgrade from my previous headset. I love the DTS positional audio. I do know that most people say that surround sound on headsets are gimmicky and its better to get a stereo ones. Well, on these, its not gimmicky at all. The 7.1 works wonderful. I mainly play Rainbow six siege and Battlefield one, and I can tell you these have given me the edge. I can hear everything, specially on Rainbow six, where sound matters much. I got the jump on people above me, behind me, etc. It's amazing. You can configure one button to mute (however folding the mic, mutes it) so I have configured the button to enable/disable the 7.1 surround (good to disable when playing music, or stereo videos). I wear glasses and they are comfy, after a long gaming session, not hurting at all. Only downside is they only work through their USB adaptor (which is a soundcard too, and 7.1 at that). They don't have a 3.5mm analog input for the likes of phones, or xbox one. I've read some people using them on the PS4 since it accepts usb headsets, but don't quote me on that, I mainly game on PC.

For some people 7.1 positional audio for gaming is a gimmick. However, for me it works very well with the right headset. I spent a little time adjusting the equalizer settings/bass & treble levels in the G533 & it made a huge difference. For example, playing BF1 using the FPS equalizer preset the exploding canon shells & other environmental cues sounded great but the soldiers weapons & footsteps were muffled & muddy sounding. After creating a new equalizer setting the game came alive having a crisp, clear bright sound that brought out details & made everything sound more authentic. Had I not made adjustments to the G533 I would have returned it. Glad I took the time to discover how good a wireless headset can be. I bought my G533 from BB when they were 1/3 less than the original asking price. I noticed today they are $20 less than that – guess its a special won’t last. For either price I think the G533 is a bargain. I’m very happy with mine.

Pros: * Nice muted design. Logitech's current design towards some of their gaming line up can be really appealing to those who don't want their choices to scream "GAMER." * Wireless dongle seems to have great reception, and is plug and play with both my PS4 Pro and gaming desktop * Volume control on headset is a nice touch * Flipping mic arm up mutes it * Battery life is pretty good at about 20 hours. Cons: * Build quality is a little creaky. Mic arm seems kind of weak. * Sound is good, but not great. Same with mic quality. * Included cable isn't braided like some of Logitech's better offerings. (Mainly an issue when you try to charge and use the headset at the same time.) * Like many gaming headsets, it is kind of huge. * Ear pads are a bit scratchy. * Logitech gaming software is a bit bare/mediocre.

Excellent Product! I highly recommend these to anyone seeking wireless headphones with great bass stereo sound and complete freedom to wander around your home (up to around 25-30 feet from the included receiver USB.

I’ve had these headphones for two years now and they still work great ! I used them for PS4 the bass and sounds are really good and loud especially for spotify music ! - I compared these to my brothers turtle beach 600 and they dont stand a chance ! - Also my my brothers turtle beach are cheap plastic they broke on him threw normal wear and tear Only thing i’ve noticed is that before I used to be able to listen to music away from my system and into other parts of my house and the signal would reach now it only reaches inside my room, not so much as a big deal for me but besides that everything works great ! ( i have occasionally used it on my laptop but it’s not as loud as the ps4 maybe bc of the laptop type/or brand,idc tbh)

Use it with my laptop for all Skype and VOIP calls. The sound quality is awesome and the noice cancellation works well. love that flipping the mic wand up mutes the mic without killing the call. Battery life is superb - more than all day long on calls. Also, because they cover the entire ear (over the ear design) they're very comfortable wearing for hours art a time. No ear fatigue. Only funny thing is if it sit dormant for more than a half hour it needs to be turned on an off (reset). Sometimes it also requires unplugging and replugging in the receiver fob. If I had my wish, I'd also make the transmitter/receiver fob a little smaller as it's a little unwieldy sticking out of a laptop - but it's livable given that the functionality far outweighs that minor gripe.

I’ve been using the headset daily and it is built well and the wireless connection has been perfect. I wanted another wireless set that had DTSX. I tried Steelseries but there were issues with their DTSX. The surround was not very good on the Steelseries Arctis Pro series. When I click on the DTSX surround sound I was blown away by the detail in the positions all around you. The Pro Studio drivers create an amazing soundstage. They fit my head perfectly. They do not move yet they not pressing your head. I have gamed for 5-6 hours and never once had to take them off. Has a 15 hour charge so it can handle gaming situations that are longer than normal.

I have been looking for a good wireless headset for my son. Specifically to play Fortnite on his Nintendo Switch in dock mode and this Logitech G533 work great! Audio can be controlled on the headset and the mic works great too. The working mic is a great feature for games where he “talks” to his friends. Mic can be turn off by moving the mic up away from the mouth. Out of the box we plugged the usb dongle to the Nintendo dock and he can play wireless with his pro controller away from the TV. No adjustments necessary. My son has a small head and the headset fits nicely and is very comfortable. I purchase all my electronics from Best Buy because I really like their protection plans. Best Buy did Price March and I was able to get them for $69 + tax. Great buy and extremely happy.
