Logitech G's current headset range spans simple wireless models, PC-focused RGB headsets, competitive PRO models, and multi-system Astro base-station setups. Choose by platform and connection first, then compare microphone, battery, comfort, and software.
Quick answer: G522 is a current wireless option centered on PC-style gaming features; PRO X 2 adds LIGHTSPEED, Bluetooth, and 3.5 mm flexibility; Astro A50 X targets players who want one base station to switch among Xbox, PS5, and PC. Verify the exact platform before buying.
Start With Platform and Connection
A gaming headset can support one device over USB wireless, another over Bluetooth, and a console only through a specific base station or cable. That makes the connection path more important than a generic “wireless” label. If you are comparing brands as well as Logitech, use the gaming headset buying guide to define platform, latency, microphone, and fit requirements first.
| Model | Verified connection / feature direction | Best reason to compare it |
|---|---|---|
| G522 LIGHTSPEED | Wireless gaming headset with LIGHTSYNC RGB; Logitech documents a full-bandwidth 48 kHz microphone and PRO-G audio system. | You want a current G5-series wireless headset with PC-oriented lighting and voice features. |
| PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED | LIGHTSPEED wireless, Bluetooth, and 3.5 mm; 50 mm graphene drivers; detachable cardioid boom mic; up to 50 hours stated battery life. | You want multiple connection methods and a competition-oriented PRO design. |
| ASTRO A50 X | Base-station system with PLAYSYNC switching for Xbox, PS5, and PC. | You regularly move between multiple console and PC systems. |
G522: Check the PC Feature Set
Logitech positions G522 LIGHTSPEED around wireless gaming, LIGHTSYNC RGB, synchronized PRO-G drivers, spatial-audio features, and a 48 kHz microphone with Blue VO!CE processing. Check the current compatibility section for your platform rather than assuming every wireless mode exposes the same features.
See the Logitech G522 product page.
PRO X 2: More Connection Options
PRO X 2 is currently documented with LIGHTSPEED wireless, Bluetooth, and 3.5 mm wired connectivity. Logitech also states up to 50 hours of battery life for LIGHTSPEED use and a range up to 30 m under its stated conditions. Those are useful selection facts; they are not a guarantee of latency, microphone quality, or range in every setup.
See the Logitech PRO X 2 product page.
Astro A50 X: Multi-System Switching
The A50 X is built around its base station and PLAYSYNC system. Logitech's current Astro documentation describes simultaneous connections to Xbox, PS5, and PC with switching between them. That is a different buying problem from simply wanting a Bluetooth headset for one computer.
See the Logitech G Astro Series overview.
