The G933 first launched in 2015, and brought with it Logitech’s new Pro-G speaker driver which has since expanded to other models. Of all the weird gimmicky things I’ve listened to over years of headphone reviews, Logitech’s mesh material driver is one of the only weird improvements I’ve liked. It delivers a lot of sound quality in a cheap package.

Overview

The Logitech G933 is a wireless and wired, surround and stereo gaming headset with an integrated boom microphone. Its MSRP is still $199, but it is almost always on sale for less. I’ve seen it as low as $99, and it usually hovers around $149.

Its multi-platform compatible, but its full feature set is only available on PC. There, you can use the wireless dongle, choose between DTS Headphone: X and Dolby Audio surround technologies, and fully customize the RGB lighting. You can also connect the nice, braided, long USB cable to recharge the battery and keep listening through the dongle while you do so.

On PS4, you can plug the USB dongle in and get wireless stereo. On any platform with a 3.5mm connection, you can plug in the included cable. There’s also a little port on the USB dongle that allows you to attach an analog cable to anything, and then stream that audio wirelessly through the dongle to your headset. I don’t think I’ll ever use that, but it’s neat!

I’ve actually owned this headset once before, briefly, after it launched…but my pair had some headband issues and software glitches and so I returned them. I was also trying to get through a million other reviews at that time. The software is now exceptional and my current model has a great headband, so fear not, this is a great purchase!

SOUND QUALITY

Sound performance is quite simply fantastic across all of Logitech’s modern gaming headset lineup, and being the flagship, the 933 is no exception.

When Logitech first showed off the “Pro-G” driver, they let the games press compare it to Sennheiser’s iconic HD650 headphones. Sure, they weren’t in a dead silent room, but I think the comparison is still impressive and gutsy. The 600 series Sennheiser headphones are known for their incredibly accurate and balanced sound.

And Logitech delivers that sort of signature here. Bass extends deep, with a powerful kick down in the sub-bass region that’s perfect for big explosions in games and movies. Midrange is perfectly balanced and natural, similar to the mid-tones in studio pairs like the Sony MDR-7506. Highs are right in that perfect sweet spot between fatiguing and absent. They’re a little rolled off, but still crisp and detailed.
