The Logitech G333 are in-ear gaming headphones. Thanks to their wired design, they have virtually no audio latency. They also have a very bass-heavy sound profile that emphasizes sound effects in games. However, this may sound boomy or muddy to some. They don't offer very robust controls for gaming either, and while the mic has a decent recording quality, it struggles to separate your voice from ambient noise around you. On the upside, they use a 1/8" TRRS connector and conveniently come with a USB-C adapter so you can connect to devices that have a USB-C port.
Our Verdict
The Logitech G333 are okay for neutral sound. They deliver sound very consistently but have a bass-heavy, boomy sound profile that lacks some brightness. Unfortunately, they don't have an EQ you can use to adjust their sound. Also, like most closed-back in-ear headphones, their soundstage seems small and closed, and their sound seems to be coming from inside your head instead of from speakers in the room around you.
- Comfortable and stable.
- Consistent audio reproduction.
- No EQ or presets.
- Bad passive soundstage.
The Logitech G333 are sub-par for commuting and traveling. They don't isolate you from bass-range noise, so they don't block out rumbling bus and plane engines. Some may find they aren't as comfortable as over-ear headphones for long periods of use, but on the plus side, their wired design means you don't have to worry about battery life.
- Comfortable and stable.
- No EQ or presets.
- Mediocre noise isolation.
The Logitech G333 are okay for sports and fitness use. These headphones are very light, portable, and should stay in place during workouts or jogs. There are a few different tip size options included, so you can find the most stable fit for you. However, their wire can easily get snagged on something. Their in-line controls are a bit limited as well since they don't allow you to skip tracks.
- Comfortable and stable.
- Lightweight and portable.
- No EQ or presets.
- No IP rating for dust and water resistance.
The Logitech G333 aren't bad for office use. They don't leak a lot of sound, so you should be able to listen to music in a moderately quiet environment without bothering people nearby. Unfortunately, though, they have mediocre noise isolation, although they do an okay job blocking out office-type distractions like conversations.
- Comfortable and stable.
- Lightweight and portable.
- No EQ or presets.
- Mediocre noise isolation.
The Logitech G333 are wired headphones and aren't suitable for wireless gaming.
The Logitech G333 are acceptable for wired gaming. They come with a few different tip size options and should be comfortable enough to wear for long gaming sessions. The in-line mic has a decent recording quality but struggles to separate your voice from loud background noise, so they're most suitable for gaming at home in a fairly quiet room. Their bass-heavy sound profile emphasizes sound effects in games, but other elements, like voices, may seem a bit pushed-back and dark. Unfortunately, they have high latency when connected via USB-C to PCs.
- Consistent audio reproduction.
- Mic has decent recording quality.
- No EQ or presets.
- No mic mute button.
The Logitech G333 are passable for phone calls. Their in-line mic has a decent recording quality, but if you're on the phone in a loud environment, the person on the other end may not be able to hear you. They don't do a very good job of isolating you from ambient noise, either, so you may also have a hard time hearing whoever you're talking to.
- In-line controls for answering/ending calls.
- No EQ or presets.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
These headphones are available in various color schemes: black/blue, white/violet, and purple/yellow. There's also the G333 K/DA variant, which are part of a partnership between Logitech and League of Legends and have a blue/white color scheme, but otherwise have the same specifications. We tested the G333 black/blue model, but we expect the other color variants to perform similarly to our unit.
Logitech also sells the similar-looking G333 VR gaming earphones, intended for use with the virtual reality headset Oculus Quest 2. They have a shorter cable to avoid it getting snagged while you're using the VR headset, and they don't have an in-line mic or come with the USB-C adapter. Our test results may not be valid for that model. If you come across another variant or yours is different, please let us know in the discussions, and we'll update our review.
Popular Headphones Comparisons
The Logitech G333 are wired in-ear gaming headphones. Unlike the gamer-oriented Turtle Beach Battle Buds, which are in-ears equipped with a small boom mic, they have an in-line mic. While some may find they aren't as comfortable as over-ear headphones for long gaming sessions, they breathe a lot better than most over-ears and are much more portable.

The HyperX Cloud Stinger and the Logitech G333 are wired gaming headphones with different designs, and you may prefer either one depending on your preferences. The HyperX are comfortable over-ear headphones. Their boom mic has a much better performance and captures your voice clearly even in noisy environments. On the other hand, the Logitech are also quite comfortable if you like in-ear headphones. They have a more stable fit, a better build quality, and are much more portable and breathable because of their design.
The Samsung AKG Type-C are a bit better for wired gaming than the Logitech G333. The Samsung have a more neutral, slightly bass-rich sound profile, which some users may prefer. Their mic has a slightly better recording quality and they provide low latency with PCs via their USB-C cable. On the other hand, the Logitech G333 are compatible with PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X as well as PCs. They have a very bass-rich sound profile with a lot of rumble and punch, which some users may prefer. They're also more compact and come with a soft zip-up pouch for storing the headphones.
The Logitech G333 are better headphones than the Razer Hammerhead USB-C ANC. The Logitech are more comfortable, stable, and have more consistent audio delivery. They use a 1/8" TRRS connection and come with a USB-C adapter, while the Razer can only connect via USB-C. Nevertheless, the Razer come with more tip size options and have an ANC feature, although it has a mediocre performance.
