Our Verdict

Logitech G333

SteelSeries TUSQ

The SteelSeries TUSQ are a better choice for wired gaming than the Logitech G333 if you like to chat with others, but the Logitech are more versatile. The SteelSeries have a better overall mic performance, thanks to their detachable and flexible boom mic. However, if you don't prioritize mic quality, the Logitech are more comfortable, feel better built, and have volume controls. Their sound profile is more neutral too, which some users may prefer, and they come with an AUX to USB-C adapter.
