Logitech G G535 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Headset (Black/Blue) with flip-to-mute mic
Product description
What it is and why you might want it
The Logitech G G535 is a lightweight on-ear wireless gaming headset built around Logitech’s LIGHTSPEED wireless for use on PS5, PS4 and PC (plus Mac via the USB connection). On paper, it’s the kind of headset you buy when you want wireless convenience and long sessions without feeling weighed down.
It also leans into practical control: a boom microphone that flips to mute, easy USB-C recharge, and a plug-and-play setup for gaming. If you’re the sort of player who keeps talking during downtime (and then forgets to mute), the flip-to-mute design is one of those “small features” that can genuinely matter.
The essentials: wireless freedom, battery life, and comfort
The headline promise is reliable wireless freedom—up to 12 metres—so you’re not stuck hovering next to the console or PC. That distance figure is always “in ideal conditions”, but it still signals the intent: freedom of movement in a typical living-room or desk setup.
Battery life is rated for up to 33 hours at 78 dB, which is the sort of number that usually means you can game across a full week of casual to medium sessions before thinking about charging. USB-C rechargeability keeps it modern and straightforward (no proprietary charging rituals).
Comfort is where the G535 tries to win the everyday battle. It’s listed at 236 g and uses an adjustable suspension headband. Since it’s on-ear (not over-ear), it’s designed to feel less bulky—though it may not suit everyone if you strongly prefer full ear coverage for maximum isolation.
Sound and controls you can actually tune
With 40 mm neodymium drivers, the G535 is aimed at clear, crisp audio for games. “Immersive” is a common marketing word, but the driver size and intent suggest you’re getting a typical gaming headset sound profile rather than something purely for music listening.
On PC/Mac, G HUB support gives you 10-band parametric EQ. In real terms, that means you can nudge the mix—dial in footsteps, adjust clarity, or tame harshness—depending on what you play and how your audio chain behaves. If you never touch EQ, you can still use it as-is, but the option is there if you like to fine-tune.
Mic and comms: flip-to-mute for peace of mind
The flip-to-mute boom microphone gives you a simple, physical way to control voice comms. That’s often better than relying on a software toggle when you’re half-distracted—say, when you’re at the start of a round and just need to be certain you’re heard (or not heard) right then.
Discord Certified is also mentioned, which is relevant if clear voice comms are part of your decision and you mainly chat via Discord.
Key things to check before you buy
A few details are worth bearing in mind so the G535 doesn’t disappoint in the ways lightweight headsets sometimes can.
- Wireless range depends on your room: the 12-metre claim suggests solid performance in many setups, but walls, interference, and how your desk/TV area is laid out can change real-world results.
- On-ear fit might be limiting if you want heavy isolation: it’s light and designed to feel “barely-there”, but if you need strong passive noise blocking, you may find on-ear designs less effective than bigger over-ear options.
- Battery is rated at a specific volume: it’s up to 33 hours at 78 dB, so playing louder will likely shorten runtime.
Who it suits (and who should look elsewhere)
It makes sense if you want a practical, lightweight wireless headset for gaming on PS5/PS4 and PC, with the convenience of LIGHTSPEED and USB-C charging. It’s also a good match if you like to tweak your audio on PC/Mac using EQ in G HUB.
It may not be the best choice if your top priority is maximum comfort over long hours with deep passive isolation, or if you’re sensitive to on-ear pressure. In that case, you might prefer a design that fully seals around the ears. It’s also less appealing if you’re purely chasing a “set-and-forget” headset and won’t benefit from EQ or on-platform tuning.
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if your main goal is a lightweight wireless gaming headset that’s easy to set up, offers up to 12 metres of wireless freedom, and gives you long playtime with USB-C recharge. The flip-to-mute mic is a genuinely handy day-to-day control, and G HUB’s 10-band parametric EQ is there if you want to shape your audio on PC/Mac.
Skip it if you strongly need over-ear isolation or you know you don’t get on with on-ear comfort. Also, if you play at consistently high volumes, the quoted battery life may feel less impressive than the headline number suggests.
