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.

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.

Wireless: Astro A20X or Logitech G522 (Logi better for big heads) will have the best mics while the HyperX Cloud III S will have better sound but slightly worse mic. If you're in the US then Logitech has sales on the Astro series on their website. If you don't mind having a seperate Mic + Headphones you could just go for something like a pair of AKG K361 / Sony MDR-7506s / Hifiman HE400SE with a USB mic like the Samson Q2U, Audio-Technica AT2005USB or Røde NT-USB Mini which will yield better results (or could even go for a basic XLR Mic + Interface like the Behringer XM8500 with an M-Audio M-Track for upgradability). If it has to be all-in-one then the Austrian Audio PG16 / PB17 (mainly just different colours) is one of the best budget-ish wired headset microphones out there and there's also the Røde NTH-100M.

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..
