You want to hear your own voice through headphones while you play.
You want a wearable microphone rather than a separate desk stand or arm.

Before choosing this model

Each console needs an HDMI cable and a USB cable into the base station, and the HDMI cables aren't in the box.
On a PS5 connected by USB alone, the game and voice balance doesn't work.
Logitech names Xbox Series X|S for it; it doesn't mention Xbox One.
Logitech advises against connecting it through an HDMI switch, an AV receiver or a soundbar.
The base station needs its own power.
Logitech's store page lists Switch and Switch 2, but its setup guide names no way to connect either.
A dongle that fits a console's USB port doesn't mean the console takes the mic: check which platforms its maker lists on this page.
No stand or arm needed: the mic is on the headset.
Use the cable in the box; you only need an adapter if your computer lacks that port.
