Summary

A 240 g wired analog gaming headset with a suspension headband, a flip-to-mute boom mic and a volume roller on the left ear cup. Buy it for comfort and color, and check your ports first: desktop PC owners need the included Y-splitter, and a modern laptop without a 3.5 mm jack needs a dongle on top.

Strengths

  • At 240 g it is one of the lightest gaming headsets around, and reviewers wore it for hours without fatigue.
  • The suspension headband and soft elastic strap spread weight instead of pressing on the crown of your head.
  • One cable covers PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch in handheld mode and Steam Deck, with virtually no latency.
  • Flip-to-mute works, and the ear cups slide and unclip so the fit adapts to different head shapes.
  • Black, white and mint colorways, with matching straps and mic covers sold as accessories.
  • Two-year US warranty, and nothing to charge, update or maintain.

Weaknesses

  • Sound is the weak point. SoundGuys measured bass and low mids under-represented, a peak around 6-7 kHz and a drop around 300-500 Hz that thinned out vocals, and scored it 5.9 out of 10.
  • Isolation is poor. SoundGuys scored it 3.0 out of 10, and RTINGS’ summary says it leaks quite a bit of audio, which rules out a shared office.
  • Owners report a very quiet mic level on Discord, fixed by raising microphone boost in the OS.
  • PC owners need the included Y-splitter for separate headphone and mic jacks, and there is no USB control box like some rivals ship.
  • Build reads as cheap to several reviewers, and Senses.se bent the mic arm by over-extending it.
  • No mic level, no mute button, no game/chat balance, no surround, and one January 2026 owner reports G HUB does not detect the headset.

Sound quality

Every published test lands in the same direction, and the reviewers disagree only about severity. SoundGuys ran an instrumented frequency-response measurement and found the response under-represents bass and low midrange, with a noticeable peak around 6-7 kHz that colors the sound and a sharp drop around 300-500 Hz that made vocals “exceptionally thin and tinny” in their music tests. They scored it 5.9 out of 10, called the sound “really poor,” and still judged it good enough for gaming because games stay coherent. TechRadar’s listening test found the 40 mm drivers “lack clarity, richness and volume,” and said mixes of gunfire, dialogue and explosions do not hold together as well as they do on the Turtle Beach Recon 500 or Corsair HS50, both within $10 of this headset. IGN is the outlier in tone, hearing full, rich mids and a slightly rolled-off top end, but still calls the result “a little muffled” and the imaging “not very precise.” Senses.se reports clear reproduction at low volume with bass that “lacks the depth and power” expected at this size.

What that means on a desk: dialogue stays easy to follow, explosions register but do not punch, and gunfire sits low because the bass is not there. Passive isolation is where it hurts most. SoundGuys scored it 3.0 out of 10, worse than most gaming headsets, and passable only on higher frequencies. RTINGS’ summary says the G335 leak quite a bit of audio and are sub-par for office use, and SoundGuys also saw the mic pick up the headset’s own output during calls. Nobody has published a failure rate for this headset, so treat the sound complaints as a weak spot rather than a defect.

The microphone

The mic is the least settled part. RTINGS’ summary calls the recording quality decent with a good isolation of speech from background noise, and in a head-to-head finds the G335’s microphone better than the wireless G535’s. SoundGuys measures a clear-sounding mic whose response rises toward 8 kHz, which helps speech intelligibility, then falls off sharply after 7 kHz; they call it good for Discord and team chat and not for podcasting or streaming. TechRadar says it lacks clarity unless it is almost directly against your lips, and IGN says it is “not going to impress anyone.”

Owners report a plainer problem: the level is too low. In r/LogitechG threads, one owner had to raise microphone boost in the OS levels tab to be heard on Discord, and another thread is titled “My G335 headset mic quality is pretty bad,” where the fix offered was unchecking Noise Removal in G HUB. Two independent threads landing on the same complaint is worth knowing before you buy this for team chat.

Ports, controls and durability

Everything runs through a single attached 3.5 mm four-pole plug. Desktop PCs with separate headphone and mic jacks need the included Y-splitter for both to work, and TechRadar lists that as a reason to avoid the headset specifically because a rival at the same money ships a USB control box. Laptops and USB-C devices without a 3.5 mm jack need a dongle, which the listings do not mention. The ear-cup roller is a separate hardware volume control and is not tied to system volume on PC, so you end up managing two. There is no mic level, no game/chat balance, no mute button, no inline remote, no surround and no RGB. RTINGS’ summary claims G HUB graphic EQ support; TechRadar says the plug-and-play design means no Logitech software, and the January 2026 owner reports G HUB does not detect the headset. Treat software tuning as absent.

Comfort is the part reviewers like. The suspension headband with its soft, reversible elastic strap is what carries the 240 g: IGN reports no fatigue from hours of use, TechRadar says session length is not an issue, and SoundGuys scored comfort 8.0 out of 10, the only 8-or-above figure in their table.

Durability is where the price shows. TechRadar says the build feels a bit cheap and the plastic could be broken easily, SoundGuys scores build quality 6.0 and notes the plastic makes it light but also feels cheap, while RTINGS’ summary calls it decently well-built. Senses.se found the frame somewhat flexible and the flip-to-mute mic arm actually bent when they over-extended it, which they flag as a durability concern. Because the mic is not detachable, a broken arm or hinge ends chat for good. Logitech’s support pages for this headset list no downloads, no FAQ entries and no spare parts, so repair is replace-only. The ear cups do not fold flat, which matters if you move one pair between a console and a handheld.

Is it worth it?

Logitech launched it at $69 MSRP in 2021, and its own US store listed it at $69.99 in 2026, so the sticker has not moved in five years. CDW, an authorized reseller, listed the black model at $67.99 and Central Computer had it at $49.99, marked down from $69.99 (CDW and Central Computer, 2026). Check the store panel above for live prices.

The case for this headset rests on weight, comfort and color rather than sound. At or below $50 the audio compromises are easy to accept: you pay roughly what a generic wired headset costs and get a named brand, a 240 g suspension-band design and a 2-year warranty. At the launch-level money you are paying exactly what the reviews were written against, and both SoundGuys and TechRadar point you toward spending a little more. SoundGuys names the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 for the same design language and comfort with better sound, or the HyperX Cloud Alpha if you want to keep the 3.5 mm connection. One reply in r/HeadphoneAdvice frames the same arithmetic, saying a decent headphone plus a separate microphone is better value.

Running costs are nil: no battery, no firmware, no consumables, and nothing to service. The only optional extra is a replacement elastic strap at $9.99 MSRP (Logitech, 2026), sold in eight colors alongside matching mic covers.

Which model this is

This page covers the Logitech G335, the wired headset in Logitech’s G Series Color Collection, launched in July 2021 in black, white and mint. It is not the wireless G535 LIGHTSPEED, the G733, the G432 or the G435, and RTINGS ranks the G335 and the G535 separately.

Part numbers for the same model name are not consistent across sellers: 981-000977 (black) at B&H, CDW, Central Computer, PCNation and Connection, 981-000978 and 981-000979 (black) at two other outlets, 981-001019 (white), and 981-001023 on the unit SoundGuys tested. Logitech has published no part-number-to-color mapping, so check the box before assuming a part number is interchangeable. The Amazon listing is ASIN B08KKBSDTY.
