We can use Logitech G333 as in-ear headphones for PCs, laptops, tablets, smartphones, consoles, to Switch.
As a multi-platform in-ear headphone from Logitech G, is this item more suitable for gaming or just listening to music?
And how about the sound quality produced from these headphones?
Gamedaim got the opportunity from Logitech Indonesia to taste the Logitech G333. Check out the following Logitech G333 review.
A Bit Uneasy Box, But
The Logitech G333 box is tough and does feel premium.
But unfortunately the box doesn’t have a magnet in the box cover so it makes it a bit uncomfortable to close the box again.
On the front itself it shows an image of the product, while on the back it describes the highlighted features for this Logitech G333 product.
When opening the box, Logitech tells users how to connect the G333 to a different device.
Then the contents of the box include: Logitech G333, pouch bag, 2 additional sets of silicon eartips, manual book, and USB type-c adapter. It’s quite complete.
Regarding the pouch bag, it has a size that we can fit the headphones up to 2 sets of eartips to the USB type-c adapter. Considering the material of the pouch bag, it is a mesh cloth that can be stretched a little.
What I appreciate about Logitech is that they provide additional eartips that differ in size. If the Logitech G333 is medium in size by default, the 2 spare or additional sets of eartips are small and large.
In addition, the 3.5mm jack to USB type-c shows Logitech’s sensitivity to its users, who nowadays have many devices (including smartphones) that carry USB type-c. A plus for the Logitech G333 in addition to the drawbacks of a box that does not have a magnet.
Thin and Short Cable
Logitech’s distinctive blue color is also found on the Logitech G333.
In terms of color, these in-ear headphones carry a black and blue theme.
The build quality seems premium. The housing material doesn’t feel like cheap plastic.
The back which has the glossy Logitech G icon and the silicon eartips are both blue.
The Logitech G333 which has a controller on the cable has 3 buttons. The 2 buttons that are located on the top and bottom function to increase the volume and decrease the volume.
While the blue and oval-shaped center button is multifunctional. If pressed 1x it is for Play or Stop. Meanwhile, when we press 2x it is for Next/Forwad and pressed 3x for Backward. The middle button is more useful for navigating the music player.
Then regarding the cable, the Logitech G333 carries a flat cable that makes it not tangle with a length of 1.2 meters. Not too long indeed.
The author personally hopes that the length can be up to 1.5 meters so that desktop PC users who put their desktop computer system unit under the table can be reached by the in-ear headphones. Considering that in-ear headphones can indeed be multi-platform.
Like the writer who put the PC under the table when using the Logitech G333, it was a bit annoying because it was often pulled.
But according to the author, the location of the in-line controller, which is located on the right and slightly up, according to the author’s position makes it comfortable when you want to press the button.
Because according to the author personally, ideally, the in-line controller is indeed located in that position to make it easier for us to reach the controller. If it’s a bit to the middle, it’s a bit difficult.
This is a matter of personal preference of the author. If you are more comfortable placing the in-line controller in the middle of the cable or slightly up?
What’s the Audio Quality Like?
Discussing about Logitech G products is certainly related to gaming.
However, when we hear about in-ear headphones, sometimes we or even the author himself wonders, is it suitable for us to use these products to listen to music? Or is it good, right?
After days of using these in-ear headphones, both for gaming and music, the authors conclude that the Logitech G333 is very, very good for gaming. As for music, it’s normal.
This is related to the audio quality that the in-ear headphones driver produces, it can very well describe the location or position of the sound. In other words, the sound stage is unambiguous because the right or left position can be clearly described. For example, when the author heard the song Hotel California by the Eagles. The position of the instrumental location is very, very easy for the author to feel, whether it’s on the right or the left.
Then the decibels that the G333 driver puts out are rather large if the author maximizes the volume to 100% via HP. Unlike the PC, if the author’s volume is set to 100% it’s not too big. So there is a slight difference that it turns out that when you use the G333 you plug it into a PC with a cellphone.
As a result, when using the G333 to a cellphone, the author himself usually only sets the song at a volume of around 50%-70% in order to maintain good hearing and besides that, the vocals and instruments can still be heard clearly.
The sound of the driver, I think, is balanced.
Of course, during gaming too, sounds like enemy movements like when the author plays Apex Legends can still be clearly felt.
Overall, the quality of the audio driver is very suitable for gaming and quite okay for listening to music.
Good Microphone Quality
When recording via a smartphone, the author tried to test sound recording with the Logitech G333.
As a result, the microphone in-ear headphones can record sound that is not too crisp but also not very deep. It’s just enough for both Discord and online meetings.
The ambient environment is still in, but it’s minimal.

Logitech G333 Review Conclusion
Indeed, there is not much the author can say about this Logitech G333 review.
However, what I can conclude after tasting and testing these in-ear headphones is that the Logitech G333 can be the choice of in-ear headphones for all your devices when playing games without having to change other audio devices when moving to another device. Given this product is designed for gaming use.
It’s just that for listening to music, the Logitech G333 in-ear headphones according to the author are more suitable and comfortable when listening to music through a PC and not devices like cellphones.
In addition, Logitech’s sensitivity to its users is also seen with the bonus of purchasing packages such as a USB type-c adapter, pouch bag, and also 2 pairs of eartips of different sizes. This is an added value for the Logitech G333.
Logitech G333 will be released globally on March 16, 2021 and you can buy it at a price of Rp. 799,000 where there are 3 color variants available, namely black, white, and lilac.
