After about 10 minutes of searching, I found it fastened to the bottom of the box containing the charging cable – a little bit odd. The headset comes with a one meter, USB-C to USB-A charging cable long enough to be used while the headset is on if your USB port is reasonably close by. Battery life has never been an issue for me, as the 30+ hours of battery life on a full charge seems accurate. Inside, we find a reinforced cardboard insert box that slides out and houses the headset, which is nicely fastened into place to prevent movement. There is a separate box adorned with the phrase “keep playing,” inside of which we find the charging cable. The outer and inner boxes.

The G535 is the lightest headset in the Logitech G line, at a mere 236 grams (about half of a pound). Compared to other headsets that are excessively heavy and impose too much clamping power, you almost forget you’re wearing it after an hour or two. That isn’t to say that the build quality is poor, more like average, and is what I expect from a low to mid-range gaming headset. The frame is sturdy, and the headset is easy to stow away and transport when needed.

Despite a generally neutral color scheme, the purple and blue multicolored elastic suspension headband adds a bit of colorful flair to the headset, giving it what I think is a futuristic look.The headphone cups have a smooth slider that allows for size adjustments, and a notch system to adjust the suspension band as needed. The midrange and treble also sound good, blending well without letting one overpower the other. One thing I notice is that the higher treble frequencies seem to be a little bit dull, which causes some of the higher notes to fade out.

In 2022, Logitech reported total sales revenues of well over 5 billion dollars, largely thanks to its gaming sector generating upwards of 1.4 billion in that same year! The Logitech G535 are best known for their incredibly lightweight build and superior comfort.

The G535 don’t offer much in terms of bass-boosting or excessive rumbling, which some may miss, but for these first-person shooters, the bass is just fine. The only way I can make sense of this is that it exists solely to be discounted during big sales events, because as it stands it’s in an awkward place.When we take a look at the G535 build quality, there isn’t really much to rave about. The headset’s frame is made entirely of painted plastic, and I wouldn’t count on it withstanding too many drops. However, I can attest that it isn’t cheap flimsy plastic. For me, comfort is paramount, and this headset delivers despite a quite modest price point.
