personal expression. Designed for long sessions, G522 has been designed to be more comfortable, engineered with community feedback at its core. The ear cups have been redesigned with a wider shape and an added layer of memory foam to enhance cushioning and cooling, wrapped in a new fabric that’s softer and more durable. At the heart of the headset are new synchronised PRO-G drivers that deliver Logitech G’s highest-fidelity, paired with 48 kHz/24-bit digital signal processing for unparalleled immersion and precision. Gamers can hear subtle in-game cues – like distant footsteps or weapon reloads – with crystal clarity. Communication is critical in competitive and online play, and the G522’s 48 kHz/16-bit microphone, enhanced by BLUE VO!CE technology ensures voices cut through the chaos. Microphone audio can be customised with real-time filters and effects, delivering a professional sound for every session. The G522 offers tri-mode connectivity, allowing seamless switching between LIGHTSPEED wireless, Bluetooth, and USB-C. It’s built for fluid transitions between platforms, PC, console, and mobile, without the lag or hassle. Advice for resellers As the above shows, there are plenty of options for gamers.
