Review on ๐ŸŽง Logitech G533 Wireless Gaming Headset: top-tier Pro-G audio drivers and immersive DTS 7.1 surround sound by Juan Crane

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Surprisingly good, but there are things to note

I've had problems with other headsets in the past, especially Logitech. They make great keyboards, joysticks, mice, controllers and keyboards, but audio gear has always been something I've always been frustrated with. I have always had Creative headsets for many years. Since they discontinued the Tactic3D Omega, which was and still is one of the best gaming headsets if you can find it, things haven't fared so well in their wireless headset department. Tactic3D Rage was released as a "replacement". The sound quality was there, but the build quality was rubbish. I have broken 2 headsets in the last 18 months, both snapped at the pivot point of my right ear. Since Creative doesn't currently offer another wireless gaming headset, I decided to take another look at Logitech after all these years to see what's improved. I looked at several headsets, including the more expensive ones, but they all pointed to this $80 headset. Well the last Logitech headset I bought for $98 almost 5 years ago was bullshit (Logitech G35). It was so bad I sent it back and got a refund. However, this time I decided to give it another try and bought the G533. I'm amazed at how much Logitech headsets have improved in the last 5 years. It sounds so beautiful, the surround sound is so clear and the headset is very comfortable to wear during long games. I am so happy with my purchase this time. for now. No product is perfect and this is no exception. I find that the volume knob on the headset rotates too easily, making small adjustments difficult at times. What worries me the most is that Creative's headsets still outperform Logitech: Logitech's adjustable straps are plastic, while Creative's Tactic3D series are metal. .
