Logitech G522
Score: 89/100Rankings
The Alienware Pro Wireless headset blends premium audio, long battery life, and hybrid ANC in a minimalist, RGB-free design. It excels in comfort and sound quality but is hampered by a sparse software suite and unintuitive controls.
The Logitech G522 is a premium wireless gaming headset featuring 40 mm PRO-G drivers, a detachable BLUE VO!CE microphone, tri-mode connectivity and up to 90 hours of battery life when RGB is off. It adds extensive RGB customization but lacks a 3.5 mm jack and Xbox support.
