Logitech G435

Works on Windows, Mac and PS5, with a mute control and sidetone so you hear yourself. Logitech G lists Xbox, but names no way to connect it there.

HeadsetA light wireless headset with built-in mics, no boom, for PC, Mac and PlayStation

Platform connections

Playing on Xbox Series / One? These wired headsets plug into the controller, and their makers list that console: Turtle Beach Recon 70 ($29.99 at Turtle Beach), ASTRO A10 Gen 2 ($44.99 at Logitech G) or Razer BlackShark V2 X ($59.99 at Razer).

“Works” means the maker lists that platform for the connection shown; “Maker doesn't say” means it doesn't mention it either way. On a headset, it also depends on the edition you pick.

Choose it if…

  • You want game sound and voice chat in one headset.
  • 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

  • Logitech's page lists Xbox, but Logitech names no way to connect it to an Xbox: the LIGHTSPEED receiver is for PC, Mac, PS5 and PS4, and Bluetooth for phones and a Switch.
  • On Switch 2, Nintendo says Bluetooth headphones play sound but their mic doesn't work in GameChat.
  • Bluetooth pairs with one device at a time.
  • Early units need a firmware update, run from a Windows PC, before they pair with a Switch.
  • Logitech designed it for smaller heads and younger players.
  • 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.
