The Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED Wireless are mid-range gaming headphones with a low-latency USB dongle. Like other Logitech gaming headphones, they feature a ski-band headband that's comfortable enough to wear for long periods but which might be a bit bulky for day-to-day use. The manufacturer advertises 33 hours of continuous battery life, which is enough to see you through marathon gaming sessions. In addition to on-ear controls, they're also compatible with the Logitech G HUB software, which allows you to customize their sound to your liking using a graphic EQ and presets.
Our Verdict
The Logitech G535 Wireless are inadequate for sports and fitness, though these over-ear gaming headphones aren't designed for this purpose. You can only use them with their USB dongle, so if you want to use them with your smartphone, you'll need an adapter. They also have a bulky design, lack call- and music-related controls, and move around your head with moderate head movements. That said, they're comfortable and decently well-built.
- Comfortable and decently well-built.
- Bad noise isolation.
- No call- or music-related controls.
The Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED are mediocre for commuting and travel. They're gaming headphones with a bulky design and a non-detachable boom mic. You can only use them with their wireless USB dongle, limiting which devices you can connect them to. They struggle to block out background noise like the sound of chatty passengers and the low rumble of bus engines. On the upside, they're comfortable, and with over 35 hours of continuous battery life, they'll easily last you through long days on the go.
- Comfortable and decently well-built.
- Over 35-hour continuous battery life.
- Bad noise isolation.
- No call- or music-related controls.
The Logitech G535 aren't bad for office use. These headphones use a wireless USB dongle that you can plug into your PC. They have over 35 hours of continuous battery life that lasts through long days at the office, and they have a comfortable fit. However, they don't block out background noise like office chatter; they leak a lot of audio at high volumes, and their gamer-centric design includes a non-detachable boom mic, which stands out from the crowd. On the plus side, that mic does a very good job of blocking out day-to-day noise like office chatter.
- Comfortable and decently well-built.
- Over 35-hour continuous battery life.
- Bad noise isolation.
- No call- or music-related controls.
The Logitech G535 are good for wireless gaming. Thanks to their wireless USB dongle, they have low latency, keeping your audio and visuals in sync while you're gaming. Their companion software also offers customization features like a graphic EQ with presets to help you adjust their otherwise neutral sound to suit your tastes. If you like to game with others, their boom mic does a very good job separating your voice from background noise like nearby conversations, but the recording quality is just okay, and your voice lacks a little body. The headphones also have poor noise isolation, so if you're gaming in an environment with conversations going on around you, you won't be able to hear the person on the other end of the line well. The headphones are also prone to inconsistencies in audio delivery, so it's important to take the time to adjust them on your head before each gaming session.
- Low non-Bluetooth wireless latency.
- Decent noise handling.
- Over 35-hour continuous battery life.
- Bad noise isolation.
- No call- or music-related controls.
- Prone to inconsistencies in audio delivery.
The Logitech G535 headset can't be used for wired gaming because it only connects wirelessly via its USB dongle.
The Logitech G535 have very good audio reproduction accuracy. They generally adhere to their own balanced sound profile, so kick drums feel punchy, and voices have plenty of clarity and detail. That said, their treble is uneven, meaning that sounds like sibilants can sound piercing or dull depending on their pitch. There are also a couple of small deviations in the phase and amplitude response between the left and right drivers that can make sounds like voices feel slightly pulled to one side. But it's hard to notice this in regular listening. Finally, while they don't render your audio with a speaker-like sense of space, they do still sound open and immersive.
The Logitech G535 have bad noise isolation. They only manage to cut down on high-pitched noise like the whine of a fan. But they cannot reduce the volume of loud sounds like the rumble of a train engine or mid-range noise like the sound of chatty coworkers.
The Logitech G535 have an adequate mic. The mic doesn't capture much body, so it makes your voice sound a little thin. It does a good job separating your voice from noise around you, so long as you don't start gaming inside a subway car. But if a loud truck drives past your window, you'll still sound clear to the person on the other end.
The Logitech G535 have dissapointing frequency response consistency. Their audio delivery changes based on your anatomy and the accessories you wear. For instance, those with smaller heads may experience an increase in bass, while those who wear glasses may experience a drop in bass.

Popular Headphones Comparisons
The Logitech G535 are wireless gaming headphones that are part of Logitech's LIGHTSPEED lineup. Like other Logitech gaming headphones, they have very low latency, ensuring that your audio and visuals stay in sync while gaming. However, their non-detachable boom mic isn't as good as more expensive Logitech cans, like the Logitech G735 Wireless, and their all-plastic build quality isn't as good as other headphones in the LIGHTSPEED lineup, like the more premium Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless. Still, the G535 are cheaper than either of those and are still a worthy choice for gaming headphones at their price point.
