![]() Particularly at lower volumes I’ve found the G533 lacks the oomph of the G933, struggling a bit to provide the same wide sound stage as the G933. There’s an immediacy to the G933, a fullness or richness of sound that the G533 doesn’t share. That’ll get you closest to settings most people would want for gaming, adding a bit more punch to the mix.īut despite the similarities, I maintain that the G933 has the advantage. Most people will want to boost the bass presence though, and as with the G933, I recommend utilizing the still-stupidly-named Drop the Bass EQ setting in Logitech’s software, then doing some minimal tweaking to taste. It’s a good move by Logitech, letting the user EQ to taste instead of nailing a single sound profile to the detriment of all others. ![]() The pair share Logitech’s passion for flat, studio-esque sound, with the G533 sounding a bit brighter than most competitors right out of the box-mainly because it doesn’t pack the overwhelming bass shoved into most gaming headsets. ![]() Drivers are only one factor in a headset’s sound though, and after carefully A/B testing the G533 and G933 I think the latter has a slight edge. Logitech got my hopes up by positioning the G533 as a stripped-down version of the G633/G933, but using the same drivers-the implication being similar audio quality. (Hopefully the microfiber earpads added to the G433 make their way to the G533, even as an optional add-on.) Performance I’m more a leatherette fan, willing to suffer a bit more heat for a softer material, but that’s a small complaint and Logitech is hardly alone in using mesh. The only thing I’m not excited about is that Logitech continues to use a scratchy mesh for all its headsets. There’s also a miniature pop filter, which we’ll get to later. There’s a single red LED to indicate mute status, though it’s so small and hard to see that it’s basically another argument to just take advantage of the G533’s flip-to-mute capabilities. This is a bit redundant though since the microphone mutes when you flip it up, so I eventually reprogrammed mine using Logitech’s software to turn surround sound on and off, and then later reprogrammed it again to cycle through EQ settings.Īs I said, the microphone doesn’t retract completely like the G633/933, but it’s otherwise very similar-an inflexible base with an extending (and flexible) boom arm. The result is high performance and ultra-low latency video.The G533’s controls have been simplified a bit compared to the G933, sporting only a power switch, volume roller, a Micro USB port for charging, and a single programmable “G key” that defaults to muting and unmuting the microphone. ![]() Using HDMI, the Base Station directs audio wirelessly to the A50 X Headset, while passing the console’s video through to the TV without impacting the source’s intended fidelity and features such as 4K 120Hz HDR, VRR, and ALLM. Allowing gamers to decide and easily switch to the gaming experience they want to enjoy at any moment.Ī50 X is a two part Base Station and Wireless Headset system that works directly with high performance game consoles as well as 4K UHD Televisions using HDMI 2.1 technology.
