Logitech G935 Review (2026): Eight Hours of RGB

Top Picks for You

The Short Version

Consider it if you play at a desk and want 50mm drivers and RGB. Charging it is a reach of the arm away, and the lighting is the point rather than a gimmick you tolerate.

Do not buy it if you game away from the desk, or forget to charge things. Logitech quotes eight hours with the default lighting running. That is one long session, not a week.

Consider the Logitech G Pro X instead if the microphone matters more than the wire. Compare its current price if you prefer a wired alternative with nothing to charge.

The Battery Is the Review

Logitech quotes 8 hours with default lighting and 12 hours with the lighting off.

That is the whole decision, so it goes first. Wireless gaming headsets released since have moved the goalposts a long way: our Turtle Beach Stealth 600 review covers one quoting eighty hours, and the Stealth 700 Gen 3 is in the same territory. Against those, twelve hours is not a weak figure — it is a different era.

What that means in practice is a charging habit, not a charging emergency. Plugged in overnight, or during a lunch break, the G935 never runs out on someone who plays at the same desk every evening. It runs out constantly on someone who plays on the sofa, in a dorm, or wherever the cable is not.

Treat the quoted numbers as ceilings, as with every brand. Eight hours assumes the lighting Logitech ships it with and a moderate volume. Louder, with brighter effects, is less.

What the Big Drivers Buy

50mm Pro-G drivers, the largest Logitech fits to a gaming headset.

Driver size is not sound quality on its own — a well-tuned 40mm beats a careless 50mm every time — but Logitech's Pro-G units have a long track record and this is the generous end of them. For explosions, engines and the low-frequency weight that makes games feel large, this is the part of the G935 that has aged best.

DTS Headphone:X 2.0 is included, and it is a PC feature. Virtual surround processing works through Logitech's G HUB software on Windows or macOS. On a console it is not doing what the box describes, because the processing lives on the computer.

One specification on the listing is worth ignoring. It prints a frequency response of 100 Hz–10 kHz inside the surround-sound bullet, without saying whether that describes the drivers or the microphone. A figure that ambiguous tells you nothing useful, and a seven-year-old listing is not where specifications are kept carefully. Judge it on the drivers' reputation instead.

Connection, and What It Rules Out

2.4 GHz wireless over a USB receiver. Fifteen metres indoors, twenty outdoors.

A dedicated receiver is the right choice for gaming — it avoids the latency that makes Bluetooth audio unusable for anything competitive. It also means this headset goes where its USB dongle goes. PlayStation and PC both take a USB receiver; a Nintendo Switch in handheld mode and a phone do not.

The listing says nothing about Bluetooth or a 3.5mm cable, so do not assume either. If you need one headset for a console and a phone, check the specification table on the listing before ordering rather than trusting a spec sheet copied from another site.

The Lighting

LIGHTSYNC RGB, configurable in G HUB, and it costs you a third of the battery.

Eight hours with it, twelve without, which is an unusually honest way for a manufacturer to describe an effect that most owners turn off within a month. If you want the lighting, budget for the charging. If you do not, you are carrying the weight and the cost of a feature you switched off — and a cheaper headset would serve you better.

The Microphone

A 6mm boom microphone, which Logitech describes as improved over the previous generation.

It is adequate for a party chat and it is not the reason to buy this headset. Logitech's own Blue VO!CE processing — the thing that makes their microphones genuinely good — is the headline feature of the G Pro X, not of this one. If your voice is the product, that is the Logitech to buy.

Price, and a Note on Discounts

Compare the dated offer with alternatives before buying. The price shown alongside the Amazon link can change independently of the seller, stock and bundle. Check those details on the selected offer.

A crossed-out list price does not establish a saving. Use a dated observed price as the comparison, and weigh the asking price against the short quoted battery life.

What You Give Up

Battery life, against almost everything current. Eight hours with the lighting on is the shortest quoted figure of any wireless headset we cover.

Weight. This is a large, heavy-feeling headset with a metal-and-plastic frame and a battery behind each cup. It is fine at a desk and noticeable on a long session.

A recent design. February 2019. Nothing about it has been redesigned since, which is also why it is discounted.

Console surround. DTS Headphone:X 2.0 processes on the computer, so a console gets the drivers and not the feature.

FAQ

Is the Logitech G935 still worth buying in 2026? It can suit a desk-bound PC player who wants its 50mm drivers and RGB and can charge frequently. Compare the current asking price with newer alternatives; the quoted eight-hour runtime with lighting remains the main compromise.

How long does the G935 battery last? Logitech quotes 8 hours with the default lighting and 12 hours with the lighting off. Both figures assume moderate volume.

Does the G935 work with PS5 or Xbox? It connects by USB receiver, so a console with a USB port can take the audio. DTS Headphone:X surround runs in G HUB on a computer, so a console does not get that part.

Does it have Bluetooth? The listing does not mention Bluetooth. Check the listing's specifications before buying if you need to pair it with a phone.

G935 or G Pro X? The G Pro X if you prefer a wired headset with nothing to charge; the G935 if wireless use at a desk and its 50mm drivers matter more. Compare the exact models and current offers.

Is the RGB worth the battery? That is a third of the runtime for lighting you cannot see while wearing it. Most owners turn it off, at which point a lighter headset would have been the better purchase.

What is in the box worth knowing? A USB receiver, a charging cable, and a two-year limited hardware warranty.

For a different Logitech wireless design, our G733 review explains its receiver requirement, G HUB restrictions and lighting-dependent battery claims before you compare the current offer.

The Verdict

Our score: 7.8/10. The Logitech G935 is a headset from an earlier era of wireless gaming. Its 50mm drivers, USB receiver and RGB lighting can suit a player who stays at a desk and charges regularly. Whether it is good value depends on the current offer and the alternatives available at that price.

The battery is what keeps the score where it is. Eight hours with the lighting on is a single evening, and the market has moved so far past that figure that ignoring it would be dishonest. Our best wireless gaming headset list ranks the alternatives, and gaming headsets with long battery life is the page to read if charging is the thing you know you will forget.
