Overview
Logitech's G522 wireless gaming headset for PC, switching between 2.4GHz Lightspeed wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB-C. It runs 48kHz/24-bit PRO-G drivers, a detachable Blue VO!CE microphone, and RGB lighting on the earcups.
The three connection modes are the practical selling point here: Lightspeed for low-latency PC gaming, Bluetooth for a phone or laptop, and wired USB-C when the battery runs out mid-session. Logitech rates battery life at up to 60 hours, though that figure assumes the RGB lighting is switched off, so expect less with it on. The detachable mic and G HUB software give more tuning control than most headsets in this class.
- Three connection modes: Lightspeed, Bluetooth, and USB-C
- 48kHz/24-bit PRO-G audio drivers
- Detachable Blue VO!CE microphone
- Up to 60 hours of battery life with lighting off
Who it's for
PC gamers who want one headset that also pairs to a phone over Bluetooth, and anyone who wants microphone tuning through Blue VO!CE. Less suited to anyone who wants an always-on RGB look, since lighting cuts into the rated battery life.
Pros and cons
- Three connection modes: PC, mobile, wired backup
- Detachable Blue VO!CE mic for tunable clarity
- Washable suspension band for long sessions
- G HUB software adds EQ and lighting control
- 60-hour battery figure assumes lighting is off
Performance notes
PRO-G drivers handle 48kHz/24-bit audio, and the detachable Blue VO!CE microphone runs at 48kHz/16-bit for voice pickup that Logitech pitches as clear enough for streaming, not just chat. Lightspeed wireless keeps latency low for PC play out to about 30 meters, while Bluetooth and wired USB-C cover mobile devices and dead-battery situations. At 280 grams with a washable suspension band and cushioned earcups, it is built for long sessions rather than short bursts.
