We've tested 19 pairs of Logitech headphones. They make a fairly wide range of gaming headsets, though even their more premium models are budget-friendly. They make comfortable headsets with good microphone performance, customization options, and well-balanced sound profiles. Unfortunately, most Logitech headsets are bulky with very gamer-centric designs that may not be the best choice for day-to-day use.

These headphones are an updated version of the previous Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset, adding Bluetooth and a sturdier design. They're very comfortable and come with a USB dongle that provides low latency with PCs and PlayStation consoles, so your game audio and video stay in sync. Their warm default sound profile adds extra boom to action-packed games, and you can customize it with a graphic EQ in the headset's companion software. They're compatible with DTS Headphone:X 2.0, a surround sound feature that helps accurately place sound objects so you can properly hear where enemy footsteps are coming from.
Their detachable boom mic doesn't have the best recording quality, and you might sound robotic to teammates during online games. It has fantastic noise handling, so traffic outside your window won't drown out your voice. These headphones have a continuous battery life of nearly 97 hours, so you don't need to worry about charging them daily. Unfortunately, even though they support Bluetooth, they can only connect with one device at a time, so you can't hear audio from your phone and console simultaneously. Still, you could use them with a Nintendo Switch or for mobile gaming.

Best Upper Mid-Range Logitech Headset
Neutral Sound7.8Commute/Travel5.3Sports/Fitness5.9Office6.7Wireless Gaming7.5Wired Gaming5.9Phone Calls6.4Type Over-earEnclosure Closed-BackWireless YesTransducer DynamicNoise Cancelling NoMic YesThe best upper mid-range Logitech headset is the Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless. These over-ear headphones have a shorter battery life than the Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless and don't offer as much thump or rumble in the low end, which can make explosion effects feel a bit underwhelming. That said, if you feel like changing the sound profile, you can via their companion app's EQ and presets. Regardless, they offer a versatile enough performance for gaming, though their lack of Bluetooth means they won't work for casual use at the office or while commuting. They're decently well-built and have a comfortable fit, especially for larger heads. Their USÎ’ dongle also provides a low latency connection, so your game audio and visuals stay in sync.
The detachable boom mic makes your voice sound clear, though not especially natural while gaming or on the phone. It does a decent job of separating your voice from ambient sound, so you'll still be understandable in a moderately noisy environment. These headphones also last for more than 21 hours on a single charge, so they'll get you through a few gaming marathons before needing a recharge.

Best Mid-Range Logitech Headset
Neutral Sound7.9Commute/Travel5.5Sports/Fitness6.0Office6.6Wireless Gaming7.5Wired Gaming6.0Phone Calls6.3Type Over-earEnclosure Closed-BackWireless YesTransducer DynamicNoise Cancelling NoMic YesIf you're looking for cheaper headphones, the Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED Wireless is the best mid-range Logitech gaming headset we've tested. These headphones don't have Bluetooth and can only connect to PCs and computers via non-Bluetooth wireless. That said, like the pricier options, they offer a low-latency connection for gaming, though their latency is slightly higher than the Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless. They have a comfortable fit, a decently sturdy build, and a solid 30 hours of continuous battery life. Their sound profile lacks low-bass but is generally well-balanced and has a touch of extra body and punch that can help bring out sound effects like footsteps in games. They work with companion software with a graphic EQ and presets for sound customization.
Using their mic, your voice sounds clear but lacks body. They block out very little ambient sound and leak much more audio than the Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless, so they aren't ideal if you play in a shared space. Also, even though they have a comfortable fit for most people, they may feel tight on bigger heads. Their all-plastic build is also a step down from more expensive options and may not be as durable. Still, it's a good option if you're looking for the best Logitech wireless headset without a premium price tag.

Best Budget Logitech Headset
Neutral Sound7.6Commute/Travel4.7Sports/Fitness5.5Office6.0Wireless Gaming5.7Wired Gaming7.4Phone Calls6.7Type Over-earEnclosure Closed-BackWireless NoTransducer DynamicNoise Cancelling NoMic YesThe Logitech G432 gaming headset has you covered if you're looking for something on a budget; it's the best Logitech gaming headset with a budget-friendly price tag that we've tested. Although these wallet-friendly headphones have minimal controls, they're fairly customizable thanks to their compatibility with Logitech's G HUB software. You can adjust their punchy default sound to suit your tastes using their software's graphic EQ and presets and control the mic's sidetone levels and volume.
Their boom mic offers a good overall performance out of the box, so your teammates will have no problems hearing you clearly. They also have a comfortable fit that'll keep you from feeling fatigued over time. However, their affordable price point reflects in their build quality, as they feel plasticky and not quite as sturdy as the more expensive Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED Wireless. If that bothers you, the Logitech G335 are another budget pair that feel a bit sturdier. They're also lighter and more comfortable for most people. However, they have a bright sound profile that might not satisfy gamers who want to hear the rumble and punch in action-packed scenes, and they're a touch more expensive. They don't work with the G HUB software or come with sound customization features, either.

Logitech vs Razer
While Logitech and Razer compete for the same share of PC and PlayStation markets, Razer offers a more versatile lineup, including headsets with noise cancelling, Bluetooth, and haptic bass. Some of their headsets are also compatible with Xbox consoles. That said, Logitech offers more robust customization features via their companion software and tend to have better passive soundstages to help immerse you in your audio.
Logitech vs HyperX
Logitech and HyperX both make headphones for PC and PlayStation gamers. However, HyperX have the market cornered when it comes to build quality. You can expect a premium design from most of their models with high-grade materials like aluminum. However, most models have little to no customizability. That said, some Logitech headsets support Bluetooth and have companion software with robust features. You can also expect a higher level of comfort.
Logitech vs SteelSeries
Logitech and SteelSeries are well-matched in customization features, comfort, and build quality. There are some differences. SteelSeries focuses on gaming headsets for all consoles, including Xbox. Some of their headphones also support Bluetooth, meaning you can stay connected to your console and smartphone simultaneously. Their mics also have better recording quality, so online gamers may want to check out the best SteelSeries headphones. Conversely, Logitech headsets usually have better soundstage performances. Some of their headsets are wireless only, which is good if you're looking to avoid cables.
Logitech vs Astro
Logitech and Astro are both gaming manufacturers that produce wired and wireless models. They also tend to be well-matched in performance, thanks to their price-gradated lineups. Astro offers a wider range of models, including some compatible with Xbox, those with robust in-line controls, and even an open-back model. Conversely, Logitech tends to produce headphones with longer continuous battery life, and their mics have better recording quality. Some models are wireless-only and have simple, easy-to-use designs. It's worth noting that Astro was acquired by Logitech in 2017 and were subsequently merged into the Logitech G brand. Headsets still continue to be released under the Astro name, though.
Overall, Logitech makes very good, comfortable gaming headsets that are customizable and generally have well-performing microphones. They make a mix of wired or wireless offerings, ranging from budget to premium headphones. They typically offer comparable overall value to some premium options from companies like SteelSeries or Astro. If you don't mind their bulkier look, Logitech headsets generally represent good value with good price-to-performance ratios.
Lineup
Logitech's lineup is fairly simple and is distinguished by technology and price. Most gaming headphones start with the letter 'G,' except those in the 'Pro' lineup. Conversely, their work/call-related headsets start with 'H,' except the Zone lineup. To categorize by price, each headset has a particular three-digit name:
- 1xx = Cheap
- 3xx = Budget-friendly
- 4xx = Lower mid-range
- 5xx = Mid-range
- 6xx = Upper mid-range
- 7xx = Most premium
Some headsets are also distinguished by technology or design elements:
- LIGHTSPEED = Wireless over-ears that use LIGHTSPEED Wireless via USB.
- Pro = Wired and wireless over-ears, which use 50 mm PRO-G drivers.
- Vibe = Wireless over-ears with a built-in mic for calls.
- VR = Designed for the Oculus Quest 2.
