The Logitech G522 Lightspeed wireless gaming headset is currently available for its lowest-ever price of $130 on Amazon, significantly reduced ahead of the Prime Day sales event. This deal offers a nearly 20% discount on the headset, addressing one of the key criticisms regarding its previous price point.
The headset has garnered praise for its audio quality and comfortable design. A standout feature is its detachable boom microphone, which has been described as capable of producing a near radio-level sound due to its clarity and bass pickup. Adjustments within Logitech G Hub software can further enhance its performance, making it suitable for streaming purposes.
While the headset's sound profile is initially characterized as "full and warm," users can fine-tune it with a bass boost in the Logitech G Hub software. The software itself required some initial troubleshooting for one reviewer, but once settings are optimized and firmware updates are applied, its ongoing use is reportedly minimal. The mute button on the left earcup provides tactile feedback and a visual indicator on the microphone, confirming when the mic is active or muted.
Comfort is another highlighted aspect, with the headset being suitable for extended wear. Minor points of critique include a desire for flip-to-mute functionality on the microphone arm and a headband that could offer more adjustability for larger head sizes. However, these aspects are considered manageable given the headset's current discounted price and overall performance.
