The Logitech G933 Wireless deliver on all the essentials that make a great gaming headphone. They have very low latency, a great mic, decent sound quality, and lots of customization and connection options. They're comfortable, decently sturdy and come with a regular and an RCA cable, so they will work with your phone, console controllers, and home theater setup. Unfortunately, they won't be the most versatile headphones to use outdoors unlike some other gaming headsets.

Our Verdict

0.0
Neutral Sound 

The Logitech G933 are good for neutral listening. They have a decently well-balanced sound with a good amount of bass. Their mid-range is a little recessed which may make some instruments and vocals sound a bit distant. But overall their audio reproduction will sound good to most. Unfortunately, they don't have the most spacious soundstage, and their bass range is quite inconsistent. So if you wear glasses, you may get a lot less bass than other listeners. On the upside, you can EQ their sound via the Logitech software and save the EQ to one of the programmable buttons.

Pros
  • Good microphone quality.
  • Great customization options.
  • Low latency wireless and wired connection.
Cons
  • Bulky design.
  • Poor isolation.
  • Bass delivery varies significantly across users. Sensitive to glasses.

Commute/Travel 

The Logitech G933 are mediocre-at-best for commuting. They have to be within the range of the USB transmitter if you want to use them wirelessly. They also don't block much noise and they're bulky and cumbersome to carry around. Their mic is also not detachable, but on the upside, they have a cable that will work with your phone and has a good in-line remote.

Pros
  • Good microphone quality.
  • Great customization options.
  • Low latency wireless and wired connection.
Cons
  • Bulky design.
  • Poor isolation.
  • Bass delivery varies significantly across users. Sensitive to glasses.
0.0
Sports/Fitness 

The Logitech G933 aren't made for sports. They're bulky and not breathable or stable enough for sports. They also have to be in the range of their USB transmitter if you want to use them wirelessly but on the upside, they do come with a cable that will work with your phone.

Pros
  • Good microphone quality.
  • Great customization options.
  • Low latency wireless and wired connection.
Cons
  • Bulky design.
  • Poor isolation.
  • Bass delivery varies significantly across users. Sensitive to glasses.
0.0
Office 

The Logitech G933 are decent for office use. They don't isolate well in loud environments, and they're quite leaky at high volumes. On the upside they're comfortable to wear for hours, they have a long battery life, and a lot of connection options. They also have a well-balanced sound that you can EQ to your liking with the Logitech gaming software.

Pros
  • Good microphone quality.
  • Great customization options.
  • Low latency wireless and wired connection.
Cons
  • Bulky design.
  • Poor isolation.
  • Bass delivery varies significantly across users. Sensitive to glasses.

Wireless Gaming 

The Logitech G933 are good for gaming. They have low latency, a good mic, and sound quality and great customization options. They will work with your PS4 and PC wirelessly and you can use their regular audio cable with your Xbox controller or phone. They have a good range, a long battery life, and a decently comfortable design. They also have programmable buttons and great software support but they won't be the most versatile gaming headphones to use outdoors.

Pros
  • Good microphone quality.
  • Great customization options.
  • Low latency wireless and wired connection.
Cons
  • Bulky design.
  • Poor isolation.
  • Bass delivery varies significantly across users. Sensitive to glasses.

    Popular Headphones Comparisons

    The Logitech G933 are great gaming headsets with lots of customization options. They have an excellent mic, low latency and a well-balanced sound that you can EQ via the Logitech gaming software. They have a couple of connection options that make them a suitable choice for watching movies. They're also comfortable and sturdy enough to last you a while although their mostly plastic design isn't as durable as some of the gaming headsets. On the upside, they have programmable buttons that let you quickly switch between settings and modes which sets them apart from most of the other gaming headphones compared below. See our recommendations for the best gaming headsets for PC and the best PS4 headsets.

    Logitech G935 Wireless

    Track

    The Logitech G935 Wireless and the Logitech G933 Wireless are very similar in design, but the G935 isn't necessarily an upgrade over the G933, especially if you already have the first model. Some features like the in-line remote controls or the inputs on the dongle are now gone on the newer model. On the other hand, the G935 have better sound quality, but you can EQ both headsets inside the G HUB app. The G935 have better wireless range and very minimal latency. The G933 also has a slightly better-sounding microphone, which is better for online games.

    Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset

    Track

    The Logitech G933 Wireless and the Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset are both good gaming headphones but the G933 can be used wirelessly and their mic has a better recording quality. They're not as comfortable as the G Pro X though, and they feel more cheaply-made.

    Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless

    Track

    The Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless and the Logitech G933 Wireless have different advantages. The G733 have a better-balanced sound profile out-of-the-box, less audio leakage, a better overall boom microphone, and longer battery life. Meanwhile, the G933 are better-built, block out more ambient noise, and offer full wired audio and microphone compatibility with their included 1/8" TRRS cable.

    Corsair HS70 Wireless

    Track

    The Logitech G933 Wireless is a better gaming headset than the Corsair HS70 Wireless. It has programmable buttons, and the Logitech Gaming Software offers more options than Corsair iCUE. Also, the Logitech microphone performs better and transmits a more accurate and full-bodied speech. You can also use the Logitech with a wired connection, even if the battery is dead, which you can’t do on the Corsair. On the other hand, the Corsair has better sound quality and a slightly better battery life as well. Some may also find the Corsair to be better-built thanks to the metal grills and hinges and dense cups.
