Our Verdict
Samsung AKG Type-C
Logitech G333
The Samsung AKG Type-C are a bit better for wired gaming than the Logitech G333. The Samsung have a more neutral, slightly bass-rich sound profile, which some users may prefer. Their mic has a slightly better recording quality and they provide low latency with PCs via their USB-C cable. On the other hand, the Logitech G333 are compatible with PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X as well as PCs. They have a very bass-rich sound profile with a lot of rumble and punch, which some users may prefer. They're also more compact and come with a soft zip-up pouch for storing the headphones.
