The Logitech G733 are mid-range wireless gaming headphones. They have a comfortable, lightweight design and RGB lighting for some extra style. Their companion software offers a wide variety of customization options so you can adjust the sound profile, controls, surround sound, and lighting. They can only connect using the USB dongle, which is compatible with PCs and PlayStation consoles.
Our Verdict
The Logitech G733 are very good for neutral sound. Their default sound profile is quite well-balanced, although it lacks some bass, and voices and instruments sound somewhat veiled. Fortunately, they have companion software with a graphic EQ and presets to adjust it to your liking. Their audio delivery is very sensitive to fit and positioning, and you have to be careful to adjust them on your head to get a consistent sound from use to use.
- Remarkable number of options in companion software.
- Slightly closed-off soundstage.
The Logitech G733 are sub-par for commuting. They only function with a proprietary wireless USB dongle, so you can't connect to your phone or tablet without an adapter. Also, they do almost nothing to filter out the low rumble of bus engines or the chatter of fellow commuters. However, their 21-hour-plus battery life and comfortable fit will get you through long overnight flights.
- Comfortable fit.
- Good battery life.
- Bulky design.
- Not Bluetooth compatible.
- Poor passive noise isolation.
The Logitech G733 are inadequate for sports and fitness, which is normal for gaming headphones. They can't connect to phones without an adapter for their wireless USB dongle. They're also very bulky and probably won't stay on your head during high-intensity exercise. Like most over-ears, they lack an IP rating for dust or water resistance. They're quite comfortable, and their wireless design eliminates the chance of having an audio cable snag on something as you run.
- Comfortable fit.
- Bulky design.
- Not Bluetooth compatible.
- Insufficiently stable fit for exercise.
The Logitech G733 are alright for office use. They're comfortable enough to wear for hours, lasting around 21 hours of continuous use. However, they don't support multi-device pairing and can only connect with PCs using the USB dongle. Like many gaming headsets, they don't do much to block out ambient sound, so you'll hear chatting co-workers and traffic outside your window.
- Comfortable fit.
- Good battery life.
- Not Bluetooth compatible.
- Poor passive noise isolation.
The Logitech G733 are good for wireless gaming. They provide a highly customizable user experience thanks to their feature-packed companion software and have a well-balanced default sound profile suitable for a variety of games. Their boom mic makes your voice sound clear, if not very natural or full-bodied, and does a decent job of separating it from ambient sound. However, you can only use them with their USB dongle, which doesn't work with Xbox consoles. On the upside, it ensures a low-latency gaming experience.
- Remarkable number of options in companion software.
- Comfortable fit.
- Good battery life.
- Limited control scheme.
- Slightly closed-off soundstage.
The Logitech G733 aren't suitable for wired gaming, as they're wireless-only gaming headphones, and you can't use them with a wired connection.
The Logitech G733 are okay for phone calls, though thanks to their reliance on a proprietary USB dongle, they're only suitable for online meetings or calls on your PC. While your voice may sound thin over the line, their integrated microphone does a decent job of separating it from ambient sound, so some background noise in a busy office won't drown out your voice. Unfortunately, they don't block out much ambient sound, so you may have trouble following what's said.
- Mic has decent noise handling.
- Not Bluetooth compatible.
- Poor passive noise isolation.
