Choose it if…

  • You want game sound and voice chat in one headset.
  • You are happy to check your voice with your chat app’s mic test instead of hearing yourself continuously in headphones.
  • You want a wearable microphone rather than a separate desk stand or arm.

Before choosing this model

  • Logitech's shop page gives up to 90 hours without lighting and 40 with the default lighting; its support specification says 80 and 35.
  • The shop page's badge says Nintendo Switch / Switch 2, but its system requirements name only the Switch 2 for the USB receiver, after a firmware update through G HUB on a PC or Mac; the setup guide connects a Switch dock by USB cable.
  • Logitech names no Xbox connection.
  • LIGHTSPEED and Bluetooth audio don't mix: the headset switches between them, and plugging in the USB cable turns LIGHTSPEED off.
  • On a PlayStation or a docked Switch the volume wheel sets the headset's own volume, apart from the console's.
  • Logitech gives two headphone sensitivity figures: 97 dB at 1 kHz (0.62 V) on its shop page, 118.5 dB SPL ±3 dB on its support page.
  • The support specification lists Windows 10 and 11 and macOS 13 to 15 at release; the shop page says Windows or macOS without versions.
  • 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.
