The incredible broadcast-quality mic on the G522 has changed the way I look at Logitech PC headsets

I don't like to judge a gaming headset by its cover, but before Logitech G522 Lightspeed came my way, I was worried that it wouldn't quite tick all my boxes. Previous G series products I've gotten my hands on didn't sway me much, whether it was down to their designs or the middling-to-use accompanying G Hub software.

The $159.99 / £139.99 Logitech G522 Lightspeed has instead become my Logitech diamond in the ruff and has now got me excited over what future Logitech audio tech might be on the horizon. It's a PC headset to be reckoned with, but that's not entirely down to its fabulous sound. Its 40mm PRO-G audio drivers do bring a balanced nuance to any game, but it's the breadth of customizability for both PC and console players, and its broadcast quality mic which truly won me over in the end.
