LEGENDARY GEAR. LEGENDARY PLAY.
G522 LIGHTSPEED is designed for extensive play and unrivaled performance-as part of the legendary G5 Series. With dynamic LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting, immersive sound, and the best microphone in gaming, G522 makes every play, achievement, and breakthrough in your game feel truly legendary.

SYNCHRONIZED PRO-G AUDIO DRIVERS
Whether you're sneaking past guards, unlocking legendary loot, or just vibing out in an RPG, every sound matters. Capture the full soundscape of your game with low-profile synchronized audio.

SPATIAL ACCURACY
Differences between left and right audio affect the locational accuracy of the sounds we hear creating a disadvantage for the listener. With G522 LIGHTSPEED we've solved these distortions through synchronized, self-contained, acoustic modules so players know precisely when and where in-game sounds are coming from.

Audio Layers
When listening to game audio, many different sound layers play at the same time, like music, sound effects, dialog, voice chat, and more. PRO-G drivers are built to reproduce audio from multiple sound layers simultaneously so you hear each sound layer as clearly as possible.

Better bass
Sound waves bounce off any surface they come in contact with and with each bounce the sound changes. Since our acoustic modules are completely isolated from other components that gives us more control to increase the bass output for a richer audio experience.

Best-in-class microphone
Your game does the talking for you. But when you need to rally the squad or announce your latest legendary move, make every word crystal clear with best in class full bandwidth 48 kHz voice clarity and BLUE VO!CE tech.

BROADCAST QUALITY MIC
48 KHZ is the highest bandwidth mic you can get in a gaming headset and is only matched by the likes of A50 and A50 X. More bandwidth means more data and more data means more clarity so you always come through loud and clear on comms. The only downside is always being asked “wait, what mic are you using?”

BLUE VO!CE CUSTOMIZATION
BLUE VO!CE gives you deep voice customization and tuning options from Input Gain, to Mic EQ, and SIGNAL CLEANUP so you can tailor your sound in exactly the way you want to. When you find your winning combo use the SAMPLER TOOL to hear how it all came together.

REMOVABLE MIC WITH MUTE LED
The 48 kHz mic boom is fully removable so if you don't need your mic you can easily pop it out making it easier to pack your headset, drink your drink, snack on your snack, or anything else. The mic boom even has a red LED in the tip so you know for sure whenever you go on mute.

LIGHTWEIGHT COMFORT
Seriously comfortable design with dual-layers of memory foam to cushion and cool, softer and more durable fabrics, a larger and more natural ear cup shape, and a suspension band with ridges for better airflow, all at a comfortably light 290g.

LIGHTSPEED TRI-MODE CONNECTIVITY
Connect in 3 different ways with pro-grade LIGHTSPEED wireless via G522's included LIGHTSPEED dongle, Bluetooth wireless for even more connection options, and USB-C wired with audio and data passthrough.

DYNAMIC LIGHTSYNC RGB
G522 LIGHTSPEED's unmistakable, recessed, LIGHTSYNC RGB has 8 total customizable lighting zones and 16.8 million colors to choose from. Try out different lighting effects and patterns to personalize your look for any game, outfit, setup, or vibe.
