The Logitech G335 are basic wired gaming headphones. They're lightweight, comfortable, and feel decently well-built. Their boom microphone also offers decent recording quality and does a good job isolating speech from background noise. They also have a fairly consistent audio reproduction. That said, they lack any sort of sound customization features, like an in-app EQ or built-in audio presets. They also have poor noise isolation capability and leak quite a bit of audio.

Our Verdict

0.0
Neutral Sound 

The Logitech G335 are decent for neutral sound. Fans of action-heavy games may want a little more thump and rumble, but in-game dialogue and vocals and lead instruments in music should sound fairly clear and present within the mix, if sometimes harsh. They also have fairly consistent audio reproduction, so you shouldn't perceive their bass or treble response very differently on different listening sessions. Unfortunately, they lack any sound customization features.

Pros
  • Consistent audio reproduction.
Cons
  • No sound customization features.
0.0
Commute/Travel 

The Logitech G335 are a bad option for commuting and traveling, though this isn't their intended use case. While they're lightweight and comfortable enough to wear throughout extended trips, they do a poor job of isolating against bass-range ambient noise, like the rumble of bus and plane engines, as well as the chatter of fellow commuters. They're also somewhat bulky and don't come with a carrying case to protect them from the elements.

Pros
  • Lightweight, comfortable design.
Cons
  • Poor noise isolation capability.
  • Limited control scheme.
0.0
Sports/Fitness 

The Logitech G335 are inadequate for sports and fitness, though they aren't designed for this kind of use. They're likely to fall off your head if you move around too vigorously, and they're somewhat bulky. Their non-detachable 1/8" TRRS audio cable can also easily get snagged on exercise equipment and yank them from your ears. In addition, their rudimentary control scheme doesn't have any call or music management inputs, so you may need to pull out your phone to make any adjustments, ruining your rhythm.

Pros
  • Lightweight, comfortable design.
Cons
  • Unstable fit.
  • Limited control scheme.
0.0
Office 

The Logitech G335 are sub-par for office use. They leak quite a bit of audio, so nearby coworkers are likely to be annoyed if you listen to content at a high volume. They also do a terrible job of isolating you from background chatter. That said, they're impressively comfortable, and their wired design ensures that you don't have to worry about running out of charge midway through your workday.

Pros
  • Lightweight, comfortable design.
Cons
  • Poor noise isolation capability.
  • High levels of audio leakage.
0.0
Wireless Gaming 

The Logitech G335 are wired-only headphones and you can't use them for wireless gaming.

0.0
Wired Gaming 

The Logitech G335 are a decent choice for wired gaming. They're comfortable enough to wear throughout extended gaming sessions, thanks to their well-padded ear cups and elastic headband. Their 1/8" TRRS cable provides full audio and mic compatibility with PCs as well as Xbox and PlayStation consoles with virtually nonexistent latency. Their microphone also transmits your voice fairly clearly to your teammates online, even in noisy environments. Unfortunately, they lack any sound customization features since they don't have companion software.

Pros
  • Lightweight, comfortable design.
  • Decent mic recording quality.
  • Good mic noise handling capability.
Cons
  • No sound customization features.
  • Poor noise isolation capability.
  • Limited control scheme.

Phone Calls 

The Logitech G335 are passable for making phone calls. Their boom mic delivers decent recording quality, as it makes your voice sound clear and natural but also somewhat thin. It also does a good job isolating speech from background noise, so people on the other end of the line should understand you clearly, even if you're in a noisy environment. Unfortunately, they do a poor job of blocking out ambient noise, so you may have some trouble hearing what's being said if you're calling from a loud or crowded setting. They also lack any onboard call management controls.

Pros
  • Decent mic recording quality.
  • Good mic noise handling capability.
Cons
  • Poor noise isolation capability.
  • Limited control scheme.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    Popular Headphones Comparisons

    The Logitech G335 are basic wired gaming headphones. They're lightweight, comfortable, and decently well-made. That said, they do a bad job of blocking out background noise and leak a lot of audio. They also don't have any sound customization features, as unlike the Logitech G433, they aren't compatible with the Logitech G HUB companion software.

    If you're looking for alternatives, take a look at our list of recommendations of the best gaming headsets, the best gaming headsets under $100, and the best headsets for PS5.

    Razer BlackShark V2 X

    Track

    The Logitech G335 are better than the Razer BlackShark V2 X. The Logitech are comfier, are better built, deliver audio more consistently, and have a less dark sound profile. Meanwhile, the Razer have a more stable fit, block out more ambient noise, offer superior overall mic performance, and are compatible with a virtual soundstage feature for 7.1 surround sound, though it should be noted that we don't currently test this function and that the software needed to enable it needs to be downloaded separately.

    Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless

    Track

    The Logitech G335 and the Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless have different strengths, and you may prefer either one. The G335 are wired headphones that are more comfortable, better-built, and have more consistent audio delivery. Their boom mic also offers better overall performance. However, the G435 are wireless gaming headphones designed for users with smaller heads. They have under 20 hours of continuous battery life and a more neutral sound profile. They also support Bluetooth, which is nice if you want to connect them to your smartphone. 

    Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless

    Track

    The Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless and Logitech G335 differ somewhat in terms of intended use case. The G733 are wireless, so you don't need to be worried about an audio cable snagging on something while using them, and have low latency, ensuring your audio and visuals stay in sync. They also have a better-balanced default sound profile, leak less audio, and have a companion app with a very wide range of customization features. Meanwhile, the G335 are wired, resulting in negligible latency, a virtually unlimited runtime, and superior overall mic performance.

    Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED Wireless

    Track

    The Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED Wireless are wireless headphones, while the Logitech G335 are wired, so they suit different use cases. Both headphones share a very similar design and are both decently well-built and comfortable. However, the G335 have a better overall microphone performance, while the G535 LIGHTSPEED have easy access customization options for EQing when connected to a PC.
