Our Verdict
Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless
Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED Wireless
The Logitech G535 LIGHTSPEED Wireless are better gaming headphones than the Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED Wireless. While both headphones are lightweight and comfortable, the G535 are better built and have a longer-lasting continuous battery life, and their boom mic has better noise handling. They're also compatible with Logitech G HUB software, which offers a graphic EQ plus presets to help you customize their sound to your liking. However, the G435 support Bluetooth, so you can connect them to your smartphone.
