Coverage from Pcgamer notes the Logitech G522 Lightspeed is a lightweight wireless gaming headset that pairs strong, full sound with a near top-class detachable microphone, but its value is reduced by a tough price and several similarly capable rivals. The headset uses a 2.4 GHz wireless receiver and Bluetooth, feels notably light with breathable, spongy ear pads, and weighs 290 g.

It delivers a wide soundstage with clear bass and good directional cues, though the lighter build means limited sound isolation and some constraints in top-headband adjustability. The detachable omnidirectional microphone is described as clear and near radio-level in quality once adjusted in Logitech G Hub, but it lacks a flip-to-mute feature; muting is done via a switch on the left earcup, which gives a satisfying ping and red light confirmation.
