Logitech - G522 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset

Definitely worse. The mic is on par, but sound quality is worse sadly. I have them both (plus the Atlas Air) here atm to compare and about to decide which one im going to keep.

G522 hands down no question.

Hey I just got in my g522 today and I’ve been testing it only got to play rivals but it sounds excellent with some clean bass I used the fps preset and brought the mids back up to be flat with a small boost in bass but I’m loving them very comparable to the a50 gen 5 I have I’d say about 90% of that so far from what I listened too and music is amazing did some tiny desk concert and it had great soundstage and imaging was able to pick out where instruments came from. It doesn’t get as loud as my a50s but so far I want to do mor tests because I think I might actually return the a50s and save me 100.

After reading several positive reviews, I decided to swap my SteelSeries Arctis 7+ for the Logitech G522. I tested the headset for a few hours, but unfortunately, I’ll be returning it. While the build quality is solid and the microphone performs well, the overall audio quality falls short compared to the Arctis 7+. The main issue is that the sound feels distant and muffled, and despite trying various settings adjustments, I wasn’t able to improve it..

The audio is terrible. The QR code in the box to download the app doesn’t work. Logitechs software on their website won’t open. Windows says drivers are up to date but the audio sounds like it’s playing in the room next to me and I’m listening through a tin can against the wall.

I replaced my corsair virtuoso xt with the logitech g522. Comfort is 10/10 - very comfortable, no clamping on ears or head Sound is decent, after messing around in the logitech app with EQ i'd say its pretty good considering the low price point. Overall it's one of the better sounding headsets, with plenty of 'clean' bass. Microphone sound is good, but it's acting somewhat weird, it's not always picking up the first few letters of my sentences, might have to swap with my modmic wireless if I don't find a solution. It's too bad because the sound is actually good when it picks up. Battery life is really great and when you need to charge during playtime the cord is a great length.

If you have the Logitech G Pro Wireless X Headset, G522 or the G435 have fun for about 23 Months then go buy new ones. Wanna know why know this. Cause i owned the G522 and still own the G Pro X Wireless Headset. Both died a few Months after Warranty ended. You would expect the Battery or some sort of not turning on again. Nah both same failure. Left Earpiece didnt work anymore. Both 1-3 months after Warranty ended, Both Left earpieces busted. Only Reason im still using the G Pro X Wireless is cause i cheated the system and got new ones for free from Logitech. They scam us so just scam them right back. And lets not talk about the Maleware of a Software they call G Hub

my first logictech I got nova 5 wireless and more or less natural sound little bass. Found out today that the g522 had arrived and bought them. 5 houres so far for my part feel good have long hours of gaming good battery life and good mic that follow to much bass for my part /sound is bit muffled earbud on the left side makes a clicking sound (think it is on/off button that is loose for me)

cant say so much about it only tried for 3-4 houres did not like the sound form it to much bass for my part /sound is bit muffled and return it back, still using my nova 5.

yupp more or less the same just only if audio quality was god as arctis 7 that would be awesome and huge improvemt, dod return mine to. Hope Steelseries can get some new stuff out pretty soon

Have you looked into leather earpads? I REALLY love my xm4s which is used for casual stuff like music/gym. I just got the G522's and the fabric kinda bothers my head(tension) so I hope theres a replacement soon for it. My xm4s are the most comfortable for me.

Same issue here. Coming from HyperX Cloud 2 but with the G522 the audio is dull. The strange thing is when listening to Soundcloud it seems the same as with Cloud 2 but when playing CS2 the quality changes instantly. Some say it's due to the drivers but never had issues like this with Logitech before. Any updates?

Im returning mine as the audio is awful imo, really muddy no matter how I change the EQ. Shame as im looking to change my G733's due to audio quality being subpar

I just bought them, same issue all over again. I think the headset itself is decent, but the software side is an absolute disaster. It connects to my smartphone just fine, but the Android app barely ever detects it. On PC, the app is a nightmare—poorly designed and unusable. I can’t even download presets (and no, it’s not my firewall or an ad blocker causing issues). The default sound is okay but needs work.., but I thought I’d tweak it with the EQ… except Logitech’s software ruins everything. So yeah, I’m returning it

Witam. Własnie dotarły do mnie g522. Mam wrażenie jaby grały cicho. Mam wszystko na 100 procent w windowsie i logitech ghub. One tak maja czy jest jakieś ustawienie które blokuje głośność?

Czyli te słuchawki orginalnie graja cicho? Moje poprzednie astro a50 gen4 graja duzo glosniej

What about Spatial sound? I bought G522 too and behind spatial sound it states to download DTS Sound Unbound. App keeps asking for license although I thought it should recognize headset and license is granted through that.

I would agree. Bass Boost is a garbage setting..
