The G535 Lightspeed uses Logitech’s tried, tested and latency-free Lightspeed wireless dongle, which operates in a fuss-free and efficient manner. Without doubt, it would be a fine headset for keen MMO players (for whom accurate surround-sound isn’t likely to be a priority). We put in some intense sessions on Final Fantasy VII Remake, playing for several hours at a stretch, and it never felt remotely uncomfortable at any point. This, in combination with a decent amount of adjustability and earcups lined with memory foam, means it scores very highly in terms of comfort. The G535 Lightspeed is pretty light for a gaming headset, at 236 grams. Two clips on either side of the outer headband, combined with two slots on each end of the inner headband, allow about an inch of adjustability to accommodate different head sizes. Logitech G535 Lightspeed review: Design & Performanceĭesign-wise, the G535 Lightspeed is pretty distinctive-looking if you have never previously clapped eyes on one of Logitech’s lower-end gaming headsets: its earcups have a lozenge-like shape to them, and it has an adjustable inner headband which can be reversed, and is blue on one side and purple on the other. Spending an extra hundred notes on a headset will yield a more dynamic, dramatic sound, but for that sort of money you could buy another G535 Lightspeed for someone else. It has a realistic, neutral sound, which copes well with in-game music, sound-effects and dialogue alike. Yet it still sounds great: its bass is still punchy and deep, and its midrange and top-end are transparent and precise without any obvious gaps. The best gaming headsets on the market tend be equipped with 50mm drivers, which can generally be relied upon to provide super-extended bass which is beyond the G535 Lightspeed’s capabilities. Sound quality is delivered via 40mm drivers, which are probably better than you would expect to find in a gaming headset which is as competitively priced as the G535 Lightspeed. Battery life is a respectable though not overly impressive 33 hours, so even with the heaviest use, it should yield four to five days of gaming before you need to plug it in via the USB-C cable which is provided.
