I ended up going with the G522s and they have been awesome. They are lightweight, don't get hot, and everyone tells me I sound crystal clear. It has only been a few weeks, so we will see how good they are down the road, but so far so good.
I still like them a lot! They hold a charge for DAYS...I dont use them as often right now, but I forget to turn them off when I am done, and they don't die the next day. I think I may have charged them 5 times, maybe, since I got them. Everyone I talk to on discord says it sounds much better than my previous headset, the sound is clear to me, I have 0 complaints. They can be a little sweaty, but I have glasses and it presses the arm against my head, so that maybe the cause there, honestly. But overall, 10/10. Disclaimer: I am not an audiophile in the purest sense. I think it is probably a little light on bass, but I have desktop speakers I use for music, so if you're into listening to the hiss of a record needle, I am not sure these would meet your demands. I would, 100%, buy these from now on.
I have had no complaints at all - everyone tells me how clear I sound, and it does a fairly decent job of background cancellation. I only use it in discord, so I do not know if it works as well with a console or other software.
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.
Ive had the Logitech G522 Lightspeed Wireless for about 15 days now and I got it cause my Audio Tehnica wired m30xs were causing major pressure. I am prone to migraines, and have glasses, i even had bought different ear pieces and still no fix. And have a relatively just sensitive overall feel for things especially around the face/head. Ive charged these suckers maybe twice? I use them everyday. (Rgb off) the lack of wire is very nice so there no tug and the ease to even press the Lightpseed/ Bluetooth mode switch is very fast, it switches between my phone and my pc within 5 seconds. The microphone is almost if not on par with the Astros a50s ive heard? Its the best phone mic you'll get tho thats for sure. Sound quality isnt as good as my sony xm5's ofcourse but for calls it does the job, and Pc use like games and movies is a constant use for me. For glasses what ive had help is raising the ear pieces a little up, sometimes even over the ears by more than they should. Occasionally I do so, depends on how sensitive I am to pressure that day. 9/10 Friendly considerations ive used are corsair hs80s and their void headset. I only recently got a Logitech as my mouse is already and didnt want to have another program on my pc, also heard good of the mic lol and it was on sale.
I have both the Logitech G522 and the Astro A50 gen 5. Deciding which one to keep. The G522 fits my head perfectly and is soooo light, but not as good as the A50 when it comes to sound. A50 aren’t as comfy but not bad especially with the wicked cushions headband. Mic is incredible on both. Not sure which to keep. Playing on PS5 Pro.
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
For this exact specification is that I'll go with G522. Microphone seems to be good and I can remove when I don't needed it. But is quite expensive here, idk if it's the same in other countries
Yes they are really bad. The build quality is 50/50 on if the plastic components that keep it together won't crack & crumble on you within the year. The mic quality is on par with a lot of the other low quality mics out there. You'd think it's on their Top Tier gaming components line, it'd be better. But it's not. You can make it less bad with the custom settings. Software isn't that bad to use, but the bad part is if you run into the startup loop. All your settings are lost :\*(. And this happens often. The sound quality is it's only good thing. Buuuuuut, it's ruined by their own interpretation of surround sound, which just sounds like you're in a tunnel and offer no positional ques what so ever. This problem is a driver problem which I believe is only present on windows 11 and not windows 10. You can fix this problem by using an older driver that doesn't have the problem. Or use the windows default sound drivers, but you will lose out on ghub custom sound/mic settings. Blackshark v2 update version is the best all around headset. At the same price point. A50's are the best mic and sound of them all still, but it's expensive. If anyone is looking at the G Pro's at the 150 range, go for Blackshark v2 updated version or the logitech G522. Their sound and mic quality is top tier for the 150 range. G pro mic sounds like the G733. [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rh1Iy55rSGU](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rh1Iy55rSGU)
Came here to say this. Note: the Logitech G522 is the same headset, minus the added adapter for console(s). But it comes in a different color way. You can't go wrong with picking up either, but for the "lore" this is the first entirely Logitech headset that's been rebranded as an Astro product. The rest of the Astro line since it was acquired by Logitech years ago has still followed its own unique design language and hardware look & feel. But the A20 X will set you back a few extra bucks because of the aforementioned console adapter. If you primarily play on PC, just grab the G522. Imo, you can't go wrong with this headset. It's been my daily driver for ~6 months now. Great wireless range, both with Lightspeed & Bluetooth. I use it for gaming & work calls and its mic sounds just as good as my Elgato Wave 3, and it's removable for when I do prefer to use it instead. Its battery life is stellar. I often even forget to charge it, and it hasn't died on me once. And I generally play for 3-4 hours a day at least. The G Hub app is very customizable, and there's even some nice community presets you can apply for added bass or "footstep" audio profiles for more competitive shooters. But ultimately, the headset is extremely light. I almost forget it's even on my head. The earcups are very soft, and I opt to keep the RGB off to conserve battery. I love using this headset with my Steam Deck via Bluetooth, and honestly struggle to find things I dislike about the Logitech G522/Astro A20 X overall.
