The Logitech G733 look a lot like the Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED Wireless with a reversible inner headband and textured ear cup lining. What makes them stand out a little more from the crowd is the RGB lighting strips on their ear cups that you can customize in their companion software, unlike the wired Logitech G335. You can buy them in black, white, or more eye-catching hues, like pale purple and bright blue.

They have a comfortable fit. They're relatively lightweight, have a supportive headband, and don't clamp your head too tightly. Unfortunately, they're a little big and don't offer much in the way of adjustability, with the headband only having two adjustment notches and the cups not being able to rotate. If you're looking for Logitech headphones with a smaller fit, consider the Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless instead.

The Logitech G733 have an easy-to-use but somewhat limited control scheme. There's a dedicated on/off button, an infinite scroll wheel for volume adjustment, and a mic mute button whose function you can remap in the headphones' companion app. While the volume scroll wheel doesn't have a physical notch and is quite easy to accidentally adjust, it beeps to let you know when you've reached max volume. There are also audio cues for when you've muted and unmuted the mic, which is good since the buttons don't offer much tactile feedback.

They have a decent build quality. They're mostly made of plastic but feature a cloth headband and fabric-lined memory foam padding on the ear cups. The detachable microphone is also malleable. Overall, they feel like they'll survive some drops and bumps and have few obvious weak points, aside from the middle of the plastic headband and the ear cup yokes.

They have adequate stability. When gaming at your desk or on the couch, they won't fall off your head, even if you move your head a little. However, they can slip out of place if you move more exaggeratedly.

Bass Amount

These gaming headphones have a reasonably well-balanced sound profile. They'll be well-suited to listening to a wide variety of audio content. If you like to hear the thump and rumble in game audio or music, you might be disappointed with their slightly underemphasized default bass response. You can modify their out-of-the-box sound profile via audio presets or a graphic EQ in the Logitech G HUB companion software.

Avg. Std. Deviation
The Logitech G733's frequency response consistency is poor. Their audio delivery heavily depends on fit and positioning, especially in the bass and treble region. If you have long hair that covers your ears or wear glasses, it can break the ear cups' seal and cause a drop in bass. You need to adjust the headphones' fit and positioning on your head to get the same sound each time you use them.

Their bass accuracy is amazing. While the underemphasis in the low through mid-bass reduces thump, rumble, and punch, the range is still quite well-balanced overall. Your listening experience may vary, as their bass delivery depends more on the ear cups' seal against your head.

They have impressive mid accuracy. Vocals, lead instruments, and dialogue sound clear and full-bodied. These elements are slightly weakened by underemphasis in the mid and high-mid ranges, so in games with a lot of dialogue, like Fallout 4, voices seem less present and are pushed back in the mix, relative to boomy sound effects.

Peaks
Dips
They have a good peaks and dips performance, meaning the headphones control their sound profile well despite some deviations. A bump across the high-bass through low-mid range muddies vocals and lead instruments. There are also a few dips in the mid-mid and high-mid ranges that push those same frequencies toward the back of the mix and weaken them. An extended bump through the low-treble range makes some notes sound harsh, while the steep peak in the mid-treble makes higher-frequency sibilants piercing.

These gaming headphones offer excellent stereo imaging performance. Most Logitech headphones we've tested have very good imaging, indicating the brand's quality control and ergonomics. Their weighted group delay falls entirely beneath the audibility threshold, resulting in tight bass and transparent treble. The L/R drivers are well-matched in amplitude, frequency, and phase response, meaning that these headphones can accurately place objects like voices and footsteps in the stereo image. However, imaging varies from unit to unit.

Their passive soundstage is mediocre. Due to their closed-back enclosure, they don't provide as spacious a listening experience as open-back headphones. Sounds mostly seem to be perceived as coming from the inside of your head rather than from speakers placed around you, making for a less immersive listening experience.

These over-ears have poor noise isolation, which is normal for gaming headphones that don't have an ANC feature. They don't filter out ambient noise in the bass range or most of the mid-range, meaning you'll hear everything from traffic outside your window to people chatting in the next room. They can block out a decent amount of high-pitched noise, so they can help reduce the sound of a noisy computer fan or A/C unit.

The boom microphone does a decent job of isolating speech from loud ambient noise, partly because of its noise gate. If there's noise from a busy street or conversations in the background in your gaming space, your voice is still easily understandable to whoever's on the other end of the line.
Note: You can adjust the noise gate processor's sensitivity in the headphones' companion software, but you can't deactivate it, meaning that it had an impact on the score given. That said, the mic would have still likely scored fairly well in this respect, even without a noise gate.

They have impressive battery performance. The manufacturer advertises a continuous battery life of 20 hours with the RGB lighting on, and we measured just over that. Logitech also advertises that you can get more battery, roughly 29 hours worth, with the RGB lighting off. The headphones are equipped with an auto-off timer to help save battery life, which you can adjust or turn off in the companion software. Unfortunately, you can expect the headphones to take 4.5 hours to fully recharge, but at least you can still use them while charging.
