Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless RGB Gaming Headset Review for the Philippines: Pros and Cons After Testing

The Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless RGB Gaming Headset offers extensive customization through Logitech’s G HUB software. Available for both Windows and macOS, the software lets you adjust audio settings based on your preferences or the game you’re playing. You can use the built-in equalizer to fine-tune sound in just a few clicks.

The headset also supports DTS Headphone: X 2.0 virtual surround sound. This technology simulates audio from seven speakers and one subwoofer, creating a more immersive experience. Compared to models without virtual surround support, it makes environmental sounds and directional cues feel more realistic during gameplay.

For voice communication, Blue Vo!ce gives you control over microphone settings. You can adjust mic volume, enable noise cancellation, and choose from preset profiles designed for streaming, esports, or radio-style audio. Some competing models do not offer this level of microphone adjustment.

Software and Audio Features:

1. Software support: Yes

2. Equalizer function: Yes

3. Virtual surround sound: Yes

4. Microphone noise cancellation: Yes

5. Microphone volume adjustment: Yes

Another strong point of the Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless RGB Gaming Headset is its balanced sound profile. When FPS and TPS gamers tested it using music, very few reported strong dissatisfaction across low, mid, or high frequencies. Overall, the audio felt evenly tuned.

The bass is less powerful compared to some higher-end models, but that also makes the sound cleaner. Gunshots are easy to detect, and dialogue comes through clearly, helping you stay immersed in the game.

Treble is smooth and not overly sharp. Unlike some competing headsets that can sound piercing or harsh, the Logitech G733 does not produce the kind of high-pitched tone that “hurts the ears,” as some online reviews suggest. The sound remains comfortable even during long gaming sessions, reducing listening fatigue.

Tester Comments on Bass, Mids, and Treble:

1. “The bass is good, though it could use a bit more depth.”

2. “The bass doesn’t sound muddy and feels powerful enough to give the overall audio more impact.”

3. “Gunshots and voices are easy to hear.”

4. “Midrange sounds aren’t drowned out by background music, and dialogue stands out clearly.”

5. “The treble is gentle but slightly lacking.”

6. “High frequencies are clear and easy to distinguish.”

The Logitech G733 offers strong sound separation and clarity. Even when multiple sounds overlap, individual audio elements remain easy to distinguish. Testers noted that background music does not overpower key effects. In intense combat scenes, the headset maintains separation, helping you catch important cues without missing dialogue or subtle sounds.

Immersion is also solid. While it may not deliver the same aggressive, forward-driving impact as some higher-end models, the sound remains clean and well-layered. Testers described it as immersive without being tiring. The balanced tuning makes it suitable not only for FPS and TPS games, but also for story-driven RPG titles where dialogue and environmental audio matter.

Tester Comments on Immersion and Resolution:

1. “Immersive yet comfortable to listen to.”

2. “Slightly less immersive than some models, but not distracting.”

3. “From bass to treble, the sound feels layered and dimensional. The low frequencies especially feel immersive, almost like listening directly through a speaker.”

4. “Clear sound with satisfying resolution.”

5. “High resolution, even subtle sounds like rustling leaves can be distinguished.”

6. “Even in complex scenes like battle sequences with overlapping audio, dialogue and faint background voices remain clear.”

The Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless RGB Gaming Headset delivers accurate positional audio. During testing using an Apex Legends distance- and directional-audio video, 4 out of 5 FPS and TPS gamers said they were satisfied with how clearly they could identify sound direction. Compared with some models that only give a rough sense of location based on sound, the G733 allowed testers to clearly distinguish front, back, left, and right directions.

However, distance perception is slightly less precise. When listening to in-game footsteps and gunshots from 0 to 100 meters, some testers noted that sounds became harder to judge as they moved farther away.

Even so, at close range, the performance supports user reviews that the headset makes it easier to pinpoint enemy positions in FPS games. You can quickly identify where opponents are coming from, helping you react faster and gain a tactical advantage.

Tester Comments on Positional Audio:

1. “Front, back, left, and right are clearly distinguishable.”

2. “Directional cues are easy to identify.”

3. “Left and right are very accurate. Up and down are also clear.”

4. “Close-range sounds are easy to detect. Distant sounds are average.”

5. “Sounds in the distance were slightly harder to judge compared to just positional sounds.”

The Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless RGB Gaming Headset weighs just 278g, making it lighter than many competing models, with some that exceed 300g. Some headsets we compared were even more than twice as heavy. Its lighter build helps reduce strain on the neck and head during long gaming sessions.

The cushioned ear pads use a flexible material that fits securely without excessive pressure. Most testers did not report discomfort, and none experienced pain during extended use.

The dual-layer memory foam headband applies balanced pressure for a stable fit. While a few users felt the size was slightly small, many found the weight and fit comfortable enough for long hours of gameplay.

Overall, its lightweight construction and pressure-balanced design make the Logitech G733 well-suited for extended gaming without distraction or discomfort.

Tester Comments on Comfort and Fit:

1. “The size and weight feel just right.”

2. “The material isn’t too hard and fits well.”

3. “The ear pads have good elasticity. They fit securely without excessive pressure and help block outside noise.”

4. “The band length isn’t the most adjustable, but the elastic material helps it fit properly.”

5. “The band pressure isn’t too tight, though it did feel a bit snug.”

The Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless RGB Gaming Headset offers up to 89 hours of continuous use, making its battery life one of its standout features. In our comparison of wireless models, more than 70% lasted less than half as long. With up to 89 hours of playback, you can use it for around eight hours a day and still go over a week without needing to recharge.

Keep in mind that the full 89-hour battery life applies only when the RGB lighting on the ear cups is turned off. If you leave the lighting on, battery life drops to around 36 hours. So if longer playtime matters more to you than the visual effects, it’s better to turn the lights off during use.

The Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless RGB Gaming Headset includes a noise-canceling microphone, but its mic performance is one of its weaker areas. In line with user feedback describing the mic as slightly “muffled,” testers found that background noise was still noticeable.

When used in an environment with air conditioner noise, more than half of the 10 FPS and TPS gamers detected background sound during voice testing. While very few competing models eliminated noise completely, some reduced it more effectively. With the G733, noise cancellation did not consistently block ambient sounds, and voices occasionally sounded slightly cut off. In noisy settings, delivering clear communication may be challenging.

In technical testing using a dummy head mic and audio analysis software, the G733 recorded a voice output level of 40.8dB. This is lower than the tested average of 43.1dB and below the 50dB benchmark associated with higher-rated microphone performance.

If you rely heavily on voice chat for team coordination, using the headset in a quieter environment is recommended.

Tester Comments on Microphone Noise Cancellation:

1. “You can hear the voice, but the background noise is noticeable and slightly annoying.”

2. “There’s some noise overall, but it’s still understandable.”

3. “The sound cuts in and out, making it harder to understand.”

4. “Noise is loud, and the voice isn’t very clear.”

5. “The noise fluctuates, and the voice sometimes cuts slightly, but it’s still fairly clear overall.”
