Our Verdict
Okay for mixed usage. The Logitech G635 are designed as gaming headphones, but they have a great audio reproduction that can be used for critical listening as well. The bulky design and poor isolation won’t be ideal to use for commuting or for sports, especially since they aren’t very stable. They don’t isolate much noise and can get a bit leaky as well, so using them at the office isn’t recommended either.
- Great audio reproduction.
- Amazing app support.
- Comfortable and durable build.
- Very bulky design.
- Poor isolation performance.
- Sound delivery varies significantly across different users. Sensitive to glasses.
Very good for neutral listening. Their bass is extended and accurate, their mid-range is well-balanced and flat, and their treble is virtually flawless. However, their frequency response consistency is sub-par, which means they’ll perform differently on different users. These headphones are very versatile and will be suited for all music genres and will be great to reproduce video game effects as well. You can also EQ them inside their app, which is very useful and easy to do.
Poor for commuting. These headphones are one of the bulkiest designs we’ve reviewed so far. They also practically don’t isolate any low-end noises like the rumble of engines, which means they won’t be the best option to use in public transit.
Sub-par for sports. While the Logitech G635 can be tight on the head, they aren’t very stable and will most likely fall off your head during physical exercises. They also trap quite a bit of heat inside the ear cups, which means you’ll sweat noticeably more than usual when wearing these. The G635 are also very bulky and won’t be ideal for this use case.
Mediocre for the office. They don’t isolate much noise and can get leaky at high volumes, which means you might disturb surrounding colleagues. On the upside, they are fairly comfortable to wear for a while and they have great sound quality. You also won’t have to worry about the battery dying on you in the middle of your workday since they are passive.
Decent for gaming. The G635 is one of the better sounding gaming headsets we’ve reviewed so far. The G HUB app is also amazing and offers tons of customization options with lots of controls. You won’t get any delay thanks to their wired connection, and they are comfortable to wear for long gaming sessions. However, be sure to take them off from time to time to let your ears cool off, as they trap quite a bit of heat inside the ear cups over time. Their microphone is also a bit bright when comparing it to other gaming headphones.

Popular Headphones Comparisons
The Logitech G635 are good gaming headphones that set themselves apart by their great audio reproduction and their amazing companion software that offers tons of controls and customization options. However, their microphone is slightly bright when compared to other gaming headsets. See our recommendations for the best gaming headsets, the best gaming headsets for PC, and the best PS4 headsets.
The Logitech G533 Wireless are better gaming headphones than the Logitech G635 if you want a wireless-only headset. Both are similarly well-built and comfortable. The microphone of the G533 is slightly better, but there’s not that big of a difference. The G533 can’t be used wired and isn’t compatible with the Xbox One. The G635 can only be used wired but is compatible with all platforms thanks to its USB and analog cables.
The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset is a slightly better performing gaming headset than the Logitech G635. The G Pro X is slightly more comfortable, has better controls, and you can even switch between a detachable boom microphone and an in-line microphone. However, the G635 have a less bass-heavy out-of-the-box sound profile.
If you don't care much for customization options or RGB lighting, then the HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II are better gaming headphones than the Logitech G635, thanks to their great build quality and comfortable design. They also have a better microphone for online games and offer channel mixing on their in-line remote. However, the G635 have better sound quality, especially in the treble range, and are more customizable thanks to the G HUB app.
Both the Logitech G430 and the Logitech G635 are decent gaming headphones, but the G635 is better-built than the cheap, plasticky G430, and their sound quality is better. The new G HUB app is also better than the previous Logitech Gaming Software and offers more controls. You can also map different actions to the buttons on the G635, which you don’t have on the G430. However, the G430 might offer better value if you don’t mind not having RGB lighting since they perform really well for budget headphones.
