In recent years, relying on its own advantages in wireless technology, Logitech released mid-range wireless gaming headset – G533. It is the backbone of Logitech wireless gaming headsets, its experience is very close to G933, but lower price.
Logitech G533 has the same 40 mm Pro-G driver as the G933, supports DTS and 7.1 surround sound, and has 15-hour battery life. Using a proprietary wireless connection called Avnera, not only increases the wireless range from 12 m to 15 m, but also reduces the delay.

Through the software, you can configure “Custom G Key”, “Battery Assistant”, “Custom Audio Experience” and “Custom Surround Sound”.
Experience
Wearing Experience
G533 has a good wearing feeling, and will not feel sweltering. Two earcups can be rotated 90 ° in the horizontal direction and 40 ° in the vertical direction (usually 15 ° in general headphones) , and head beam can be stretched by 4cm. Players of any head shape can find a comfortable position.
Music Experience
Logitech G553 gaming headset has excellent sound quality, it has a small improvement over predecessor G633. It can be used as a music headphone. Especially turn on the 7.1 channel, the width of the sound field is significantly enlarged, the intensity of the reverberation is great.
Film Experience
Relying on its DTS technology, I watched some movies using DTS audio coding technology, and the sound details of each channel are perfect. When watching the documentary “Frozen Earth”, I felt very realistic. The sounds of animals, wind, waves were vivid.
Gaming Experience
“CS1.6” is the representative of e-sports games, it has no complicated sound effects. But there is a high demand for the ability of sound localization, because each footstep will affect the final game result. When I play this game with Logitech G533, the overall sound is biased towards the rich style, and the gunshot performance is very shocking and accurate.
Unlike shooting games, racing games focus more on sound effects. The “Need for Speed” is a favorite game to players who seek a sense of speed. Logitech G533’s sound is very strong and makes people feel a strong impact when a car collides. The sound separation and layering performance are also very good. The sound of the car engine sounds layered, and when multiple sounds are mixed together, there will be no confusion.
