Based on 1 year's data from Feb 15, 2026 How it works
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.
LG G522 light speed. It’s very light and I got it on sale. Usually around $150. It’s not the best headset I’ve used but for the price it’s good and you can even use the Logitech app to change the settings.
Logitech G522 is really good if you want something with a solid mic for cheap. Better, newer version of the G733. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf6ElVFFqFY Amazon has them for $198. Officeworks is matching that but you can use their price beat to get an extra 5% off.
G522 hands down no question.
Logitech G522 has probably the best mic of any headset I've ever tried, and all reviews also line up with that being the case. Very comfy and works on both 2.4ghz for low latency and bluetooth.
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
