Product Information

While that’s true, the PC surround technologies will work on any headset, so it’s a bit like advertising that a car supports highways. My friends could always hear me when gaming, though the twin mics did leak in a little background noise here and there. Modeled like the company’s other G series headsets, it offers some of the same features – like soft memory foam cups, a lightweight frame, and adjustable ear cups in place of an adjustable headband.

Watching Ted Lasso via my TV’s Bluetooth connection, audio was fully in-sync, and the connection remained solid when I wandered about 20 feet into the kitchen. Now the company is back with an even lighter, even brighter (color depending) gaming headset — the Logitech G435 Lightspeed is built with sustainability in mind, and it makes some pretty big design departures. The lack of sub-bass emphasis may mean that the rumble of explosions and gunfire is a little less impactful, but that might actually be preferable in competitive situations. The Logitech G435 looks nice and is really comfortable, and the dual wireless capability lets you easily use the same cans with your computer and phone (although not at the same time like with Corsair's Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT) .

Logitech claims the Logitech G435 battery can last 18 hours on a single charge, but in our testing, we found it well exceeds that.The headset also connects using Bluetooth to connect to your mobile device, undocked Nintendo Switch, and whatever else supports the standard. The earcups on G435 are covered in a breathable fabric that keeps your ears cool during long play sessions. Unless you have the audio cranked, you’ll hear environmental sounds, and if you do have it cranked, others nearby will hear what you’re listening to.

While I’m not a fan of that design in general, the G435’s is made worse by how thin the bar is that connects them to the headband. The voice clarity wasn’t quite as good as with boom microphones on the Creative SXFI Air Gamer or the Razer Barracuda X, but nobody had any issues understanding me.Logitech says the G435 is optimized for smaller head sizes, but I have a rather large head (I use the last two notches on an adjustable cap) and I found the G435 fit my head well with the headband fully extended.

Logitech rates the G935 at 18 hours of battery life, and my experience with the G935 bears that out. The G435 handles the surround sound demands of something like Knockout Cityusing the PlayStation 5’s 3D audio very well. Editor’s note: this Logitech G435 review was updated on May 26, 2023 to include answers to FAQ submissions, clarify the microphone compatibility with the Nintendo Switch, add to the alternative recommendations section, and update formatting. On the downside, the mediocre sound isolation means these aren’t going to be a great option for listening in a noisy environment, or for isolating others from your audio in a quiet one.

But if you’re looking for a brighter look, off-white/lilac and blue/raspberry combos are available as well.

The treble response drops off sooner than we generally expect, but there’s arguably not many noticeable sounds above 10kHz in music, video games, and movies for you to miss. If you’re playing at home, it’s probably not a huge deal, but this headset uses Bluetooth, and this kind of isolation performance means walking around or sitting in a cafe isn’t much of an option. Battery performance like this isn’t the very best you can find in a gaming headset, but it’s not far off.
