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. The airy, fabric-covered earcups are comfortable and keep your ears from getting hot, but they do a lousy job of sound isolation. A FLAC rip of my Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon CD sounded good, but I couldn’t make out the little details in the background that my audiophile-oriented Sennheiser Momentum 3 headset revealed.īecause the G435 lacks any bundled software, any audio adjustments such as equalization or bass boost will need to come from your system's software or audio playback tools. Listening to Baby Keem’s The Melodic Blue album, the music and vocals sounded good, but bass was lacking. Playing Deathloop and Microsoft Flight Simulator, dialog, sound effects, and environmental audio were all clear. You’ll hear important game audio elements just fine, and music sounds good tonally, but the bass from explosions and gunfire is underwhelming, and you’re not going to hear any new details in your favorite tunes. That’s not to say the audio is bad, it’s just unexceptional.

Logitech’s 40mm drivers pump out a respectable volume level, but the clarity is pedestrian, and the overall sound quality is just okay.
#LOGITECH G535 PRO#
Using the headphones over the course of a few days for gaming via the Lightspeed dongle on a PC and PS5, and for music and phone calls on an iPhone 12 Pro Max via Bluetooth, the headset lasted for just over 18.5 hours before it shut off. Logitech rates the G935 at 18 hours of battery life, and my experience with the G935 bears that out. Its width is small enough to avoid blocking adjacent ports.

The USB-A dongle is color-coordinated with the headset and protrudes about an inch-and-a-half from the port. The dual beamforming mics are built into the front of the left earcup. There’s also no analog input for a 3.5mm cable-audio is Lightspeed and Bluetooth only, with no wired fallback to use when the battery is dead or a device is incompatible. At the bottom of the cup is the USB-C port, which only allows charging and can’t be used to facilitate a wired connection. A beep lets you know when you’ve maxed out the volume other tones confirm power-on and -off. Controls are simple, with the left earcup packing a power button, a volume rocker, and a button that either switches between Lightspeed and Bluetooth or mutes the microphone, depending on how long you press it.
