Logitech G535 Wireless Gaming Headset Review
This past summer, Logitech launched the G335, which was a slimmed down wired version of the wireless G733. Now, they’ve shoved the wireless innards back into the G335 to produce the G535, a $129 headset that has good performance and fills in a small hole in their pricing structure.
I like it. Very much in fact. But it’s so inessential to their overall product lineup and buried in such a crowded field that I’m not completely sure why they made it. Logitech doesn’t really seem to know either. I wasn’t aware it existed until my local Best Buy just put them out on the shelves a couple of weeks ago, and as of this writing the official page still isn’t live on Logitech’s web site.
UPDATE 9/16/22: Hey! It has a page now! And I also revisited this headset recently and think it’s more awesome than I thought it was here in this review, which was now a year ago.
It’s possible that the G535 is a Best Buy exclusive a la the HyperX Cloud Core Wireless and that they’re just not marketing it, but that’s so weird. Usually a new headset launch is accompanied by proud PR materials and fancy videos, not silence.
The only way I can make sense of this is that it exists solely to be discounted during big sales events, because as it stands it’s in an awkward place.
Note: I bought this headset myself at Best Buy. I don’t use affiliate links in any of my stories. For more info on my reviews policy please read this page.
OVERVIEW
The Logitech G535 is a closed back wireless gaming headset that sells for $129. The only official product page I can link right now is the store listing at Best Buy, but if Logitech ever decides to add it to their web site I’ll update this article. That page erroneously lists that the headset features a Dolby Atmos code, which wasn’t included with my unit nor even mentioned on the packaging.
In the box, you get the headset itself and a lightspeed wireless dongle that’s a little bigger than the one included with the G435.
