I will share my thoughts on the Logitech G735 in an analysis after using them as my primary headphones for several weeks while gaming and listening to music. I will also discuss the positive and bad aspects of these headphones.
This summer, Logitech unveiled its newest line of devices, the Aurora. These PC-focused devices may, of course, be used with any device that supports USB or Bluetooth open standards.
The Logitech G735, wireless headphones that can be used with PC, PS5, and Bluetooth devices, will be reviewed today. A few days ago, we reviewed the Logitech G715, a TKL mechanical keyboard that I quite liked despite some details, such as the price.
We’ll see if they are worth the price, which is a bit high for this range of products (213 on Amazon and 239 euros officially). But first, as usual, the technical details.
Off-road style with incredibly cozy materials
Because it is clear that the design is among the most crucial aspects of the gadget, I will begin the evaluation of the Logitech G735 with discussing it.
They are not the most comfortable headphones to carry, but for headband headphones used at home, this is irrelevant. Logitech has been prepared in this regard because it has taken design cues from the Apple AirPods Max and the Sony WH 1000XM5.
The headphones made by Logitech are really attractive in this white hue and have a modern design that is in the forefront. Due to the headset’s relatively small weight and the fact that the headband doesn’t have much cushioning, I haven’t felt any discomfort after using it for countless hours.
We also have the chrome Logitech logo on the exterior of each earphone, matching the metal rod that we can contract and expand to fit our head. The braille letters “R” and “L” are indicated in each earphone, which I think is hilarious.
Even with glasses on, the in-ear fit is one of the most comfortable I’ve ever experienced thanks to the incredibly soft ear cushions and tilt and swivel adjustments in each ear cup.
They are among the most comfortable shoes you can get right now, and I really appreciated that you can take the padding out and replace them with fresh ones. Yes, they are expensive, but the investment is worthwhile.
The truth is that we have run out of things to say if we visit the button panel. The first is that the microphone is detachable, and because of the way the headphones are made, you can wear them out in public without them being recognized as being for gaming.
You can link them with a connection using a 3.5 mm jack and USB-C charging. Additionally, it’s good that you can use them wirelessly while they’re charging.
There is a power button on the left earphone that, when pressed twice, switches the lighting on or off. There is also a volume wheel that is notched but has limitless movement, as well as a button to mute the microphone.
On the left are two volume adjustment controls for game and chat, as well as a button that toggles Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz connectivity. This is especially useful if your phone has Bluetooth capabilities and your PS5 or PC has a USB stick.
Here, you can only adjust the volume of one or the other; therefore, you must adjust the overall level using the wheel on the left earphone.
And speaking of lights, I don’t really like them because you can’t see them when you’re wearing them, they drain batteries quickly, and there is a distinct difference in tone between the left and right halves of each earphone (above and below). They should have kept the lights, in my opinion.
A sound that adheres to autonomy and is dependent on the RGB
However, the sound of headphones is undoubtedly a very essential factor. Here, we have two 40mm speakers, each having a response of roughly 20Hz to 20kHz.
As soon as we put them on for the first time in a game, it is clear that they were designed specifically for gaming. According to the G Hub application, which I shall discuss later, they are factory configured with a flat profile, but it is obvious that the bass is in charge despite this.
This is a feature that almost all gaming headphones share, but as the price goes up, manufacturers prefer to give it a bit more attention to provide a flatter sound with the bass still present but the mids and treble standing out and being where they should be.
The G735s sound decent when nothing is configured. The experience is good when playing single-player games like Forza Horizon 5, A Plague Tale Requiem, or Cyberpunk 2077 on a computer or PlayStation 5, or God of War Ragnarok on a PlayStation 4.
Although the bass is extremely audible, I believe most gamers will find the sound to be pleasing. However, in multiplayer games, things are different. On the PS5, it gave me more of the same, but on the PC, Overwatch 2 or Valorant, I feel like I’m missing out on something.
On a $239 headset, I don’t have good adversary and partner positional sound, and I didn’t have the best experience possible. I was extremely dissatisfied at this point, but after chatting to coworkers wearing the same headphones, they advised me to make my own sound profile, so I did.
Looking about in the G Hub app’s settings, I discovered a custom setting that I preferred for multiplayer games because, while the bass is still present, the rest of the spectrum is more important.
We can set up a number of default profiles in the program, as well as add some custom ones and download user-created profiles. I don’t really get how it operates in this regard because sometimes they show up on the list to download and other times they don’t. But anyway, I advise you to attempt your own configuration and turn on surround sound with Windows 11.
The lighting is another another element that you can modify. The two zones (top and bottom) may be customized with any colors you like, and you can sync it with any Logitech Aura device to have the same colors and effects on your keyboard, mouse, and headphones.
Since you won’t notice, I really don’t get why there is lighting on headphones (especially since it is also visible from inside the ear cushion), but whatever. Additionally, it uses a lot of battery.
Check the numbers. According to the official specifications, you have 16 hours with RGB and 56 hours without lighting. I can’t give you a definitive answer because I use it to listen to music while working on both my mobile device and my computer, which means I have to charge it a few times a week.
Additionally, active noise cancellation in gaming headphones is something that isn’t typically discussed. Although it is not a crucial feature in this kind of gadget, Sony has begun to tip the scales in its favor with the inclusion of this feature in the Inzone H9.
As I already mentioned, the pads are really comfy, but they don’t provide particularly effective passive cancellation either, therefore there is no active cancellation in this situation. This has advantages and disadvantages because you will hear the doorbell if it rings while you are playing, but you will have to turn up the volume if your home is noisy and you want to isolate yourself.
The pads will turn inward if you lay them on your clavicle because you took them off for whatever reason and are walking down the street while listening to music from your phone, therefore disregard this feature.
One of the poor points is the removable microphone.
The microphone on these headphones also strikes me as being of utmost importance. This time, the sound is right and it is cardioid and unidirectional. Although they have occasionally informed me that there are some visible micro-cuts, I have not had any issues when playing.
Nothing stands in the way of a group playing online performing well, but perhaps these cuts shouldn’t be present in headphones at this price point.
The best thing, though, is for you to hear it for yourself, so I’ve included two films above where I test the microphone. With the headphones linked via the USB receiver, the first is captured in the G Hub app.
The second is a test that was captured using a Bluetooth connection and a mobile device.
Suitable audio and design for a variety of platforms
Finally, we have headphones that are supported by two solid arguments. The design comes first. They are lovely, incredibly comfortable, and what I enjoy best about them is that you can wear them both inside and outside the house because they don’t clash.
The fact that the ear pads can be changed makes them the best I’ve tested (among those made of this type of material, of course). I found it to be a nice feature on the Astro A10 Gen 2.
I appreciate that the volume wheel is notched for better control, and I find the controls to be precise. It didn’t take me long to get used to them.
The sound is the second strong argument. It has nice sound right out of the box, but with the PC/Mac program adjustments, the quality completely improves, making it suitable for playing any genre as well as for listening to music or watching movies.
