Logitech G935 Wireless  Headphones Review

The Logitech G935 are very similar in design to the wired Logitech G635, except they're wireless. Both are similar models to the Logitech G633 and Logitech G933 Wireless. Their overall look is still the same, with a bulky design that shows without a doubt that they're gaming headphones. They are not very outdoor-friendly, and when powered by their USB cable, you get RGB lighting on the logo and a strip at the back of the ear cups. Their cups are large and more squared than most other gaming brands. You can also fold the microphone in to hide it, but they still won’t be great to use outside, even if you can use them with your phone.

These headphones are as comfortable as the Logitech G635 and are as tight as well. However, the padding is slightly different. Instead of mesh fabric, the Logitech G935 cups' padding is covered by pleather, which gives them a more high-end feel. The cups are large and spacious and should fit most ear sizes and shapes. They are comfortable to wear for a while, but if you have a larger-sized head, these could become uncomfortable rather quickly.

The Logitech G935 have a great control scheme for gamers. You have access to a volume wheel, a mic-mute button, and three mappable buttons that you can set to practically whatever you want inside their app. The top button isn’t an audio selector like the Logitech G635, but is rather a power switch to easily turn your headset on or off. The buttons offer great feedback and the ridges make it easier to distinguish different buttons, but it might take you a second to feel the surrounding buttons to be sure which one you're about to press.

These headphones are quite tight on the head and create a good seal around your ears, which means they trap a lot of heat inside the ear cups and won't allow much airflow. They won’t be suitable for sports as you’d sweat more than usual, and they weren't designed for this use case. You will feel a noticeable difference in temperature.

Like most gaming headphones, the Logitech G935 aren’t very portable. They take up a lot of space and don’t fold into a more compact format. On the upside, the cups swivel to lay flat, which makes it easier to slide them inside a bag, but that’s about it. Overall, these gaming headphones should stay around your gaming setup and won’t be ideal to use on the go.

They don’t come with a case or traveling pouch to protect them.

The Logitech G935 are built the same way the Logitech G635 are, which means that they also don’t seem to offer any major improvement over the previous Logitech G633 and Logitech G933 Wireless models when it comes to build quality. They're still well-built, but they're slightly plasticky and don't feel as premium as other gaming headsets like the Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset. They also squeak a bit when manipulating the headphones. On the upside, the headband is flexible, yet sturdy thanks to a reinforcing metal frame. The cups are quite dense, and the backplates are magnetic and easily removable. On the G935, you have room inside the ear cups to store the USB dongle, which is useful.

These headphones are fairly tight on the head but still sway quite a bit with head movements. They won’t be ideal for sports activities, but this shouldn’t be a problem during a casual gaming session. On the upside, they are wireless, meaning you don’t have to worry about a cable getting stuck or hooked on something, which could yank the headphones off your head.

The Logitech G935 have sub-par frequency response consistency. In the bass range, we measured about 12dB of maximum deviation at 20Hz, which is very noticeable. These headphones were performing consistently across most test subjects but people with glasses may experience a drop in bass if they create a break in the seal of the headphones around your ears. Their treble consistency is also sub-par, with more than 10dB of deviation measured around 7kHz, which may be due to the design of the cups.

The Logitch G935 have a very good bass range performance. LFE is extended down to 10Hz, which is great. The entire range's response is virtually flat but slightly overemphasized. The 3.5dB bump in mid-bass will add a bit of excess on the punch of bass guitars and kick of drums. Also, their bass delivery varies significantly across users, and is sensitive to the quality of the fit, seal, and whether you wear glasses. The response here represents the average bass response and your experience may vary.

The mid-range of the Logitech G935 is very good. The response throughout the range is well-balanced and flat, which means vocals and leads will be accurately reproduced. The response is slightly underemphasized, but this won’t be noticeable for most people.

Their treble performance is also very good. The response is nearly flawless up to 10kHz but slightly uneven. Also, their treble delivery varies noticeably across users. The response here represents the average response and your experience may vary.

The imaging performance is great. Weighted group delay is at 0.34, which is very good, but the GD graph shows that the response crosses the audibility threshold around 50-60Hz. This could result in a bass that is a tad slow, but it's subtle enough that most people won't notice it. Additionally, the L/R drivers of our test unit were very well-matched in amplitude, frequency, and phase response. This is important for the accurate localization and placement of objects (like voice, instruments, and video game effects) in the stereo field. However, these results are only valid for our unit and yours may perform differently.

The soundstage of the Logitech G935 is decent. The PRTF graph shows a good amount of pinna interaction and activation, which is good, but its accuracy isn’t great. There is also not a notch present around the 10kHz region either. Therefore, their soundstage may be perceived as relatively large, but unnatural and located inside the head. Their closed-back design also means they won’t be open-sounding as open-back headphones.

Like most Logitech gaming headphones, the Logitech G935's isolation performance is poor. They don’t have a noise cancelling feature and only passively isolate. In the bass range, occupied by the rumble of airplane and bus engines, they achieve no isolation, which means they won’t be great for commuting. In the mid-range, important for blocking out speech, they achieve about 6dB of isolation, which is barely noticeable. In the treble range, responsible for sharp sounds like S and Ts and A/C system noises, they isolate by more than 28dB, which is good.

The Logitech G935 have an okay leakage performance. The significant portion of their leakage sits between 400Hz and 2kHz, which is a relatively narrow range. The overall level of the leakage is a bit loud, too. With the music at 100dB SPL, the leakage at 1 foot away averages at 43dB and peaks at around 58dB, which is a bit above the noise floor of most offices.

The Logitech G935’s boom mic has a decent recording quality. The LFE (low-frequency extension) of 289Hz indicates a recorded/transmitted speech that sounds quite bright and thin. The HFE (high-frequency extension) is at 6.7kHz, which results in clear, detailed speech, but may lack a bit of air. The response between the LFE and HFE points gets elevated in the treble range, resulting in a quite sharp-sounding speech.

This microphone performs better than what the score shows since LFE might not be as important for everyone. Overall, it definitely has better recording quality than most Bluetooth headphones microphones, which have a similar score but would sound less clear due to a lower HFE. However, although the wired Logitech G635's mic scores lower, it sounds a bit better than the G935's, which you can compare for yourself by listening to the audio files.

The boom microphone of the Logitech G935 is decent at noise handling. It achieved a speech-to-noise ratio of 25dB in our SpNR test. This indicates that it can separate speech from ambient noise to a decent degree in most situations but may not be suited for the loudest situations. If you tend to game in very loud environments, take a look at the JBL Quantum ONE, which have a boom microphone that's even better at isolating speech from background noise.

The Logitech G935 have a decent 13-hour battery life that should be enough for long gaming sessions. We’ve measured the battery life with all the RGB lighting turned off, so if you do want the lights, you may experience shorter battery life, which is expected to be around 8 hours according to the specs sheet. They also need quite a bit of time to charge; about 4 hours. On the upside, you can still use them via the USB dongle while they are charging with their USB cable. They can also be used passively, even if the battery is dead, with the 1/8” TRRS cable, but you won’t have access to their app and active features. If you want a pair of wireless gaming headphones with much longer battery life, check out the Turtle Beach Elite Atlas Aero Wireless, though they don't perform quite as well overall.

Like the wired Logitech G635, the wireless Logitech G935 are compatible with the Logitech G HUB app available on Windows and Mac. This software is one of the most complete ones we’ve ever tested. It offers tons of customization options like surround sound, a 10-band EQ, and control over your Lightsync RGB lighting. You also get tons of options and control for the sound and microphone of the headset. You can map the buttons of the headphones to different sound profiles, functions, and commands related to your PC system settings. You can also launch programs, your favorite games, set macros, or even manage your music, which is very convenient. However, you can only map one command to a button and only have three buttons to map, which isn't a lot considering all the available options. There have also been quite a few user reports regarding various problems using this software. This includes but isn't limited to startup issues, freezing, and connection issues with some devices. Although we didn't experience this issue, if you've had problems using it with your unit, please leave us a comment in the discussions.

These headphones are not Bluetooth compatible. For a gaming headset with Bluetooth compatibility, check out the Turtle Beach Stealth 700, the Turtle Beach Elite 800 or the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless.

The Logitech G935 have amazingly low latency. With 9ms of delay when playing games with the USB dongle, most people won’t notice anything. This will also be great for watching video content without having sync issues.

The headset supports a wired connection via its analog cable. However, you can't use the boom mic when the headset is used with its 3.5 mm (1/8" TRRS) analog cable, unless you get a four-pole 3.5 mm splitter, as described in the manual. You also don't have support for wired USB audio, just like the previous Logitech G933 Wireless model.

The headset supports full mic and audio via the wireless USB dongle, but unless you use a four-pole splitter with your PC, mic support isn't available over analog connections.

You get microphone and audio support with the wireless USB dongle with PS consoles. When used passively with the analog cable, the mic is disabled.

The headset delivers only audio when plugged into your Xbox controller via the analog cable. There's no wireless support, and the mic is disabled when used passively.

The Logitech G935 offer fewer connection options than the previous Logitech G933 Wireless. They don’t come with a TRRS to RCA cable and the dongle doesn’t have any inputs. The G935 can only be used wirelessly via their USB dongle on PC and PS4 for full audio and microphone support, and only support audio on Xbox One.
