There’s rather a lot to be mentioned about real-world performance. When a product simply matches into your life so simply as to push out one thing else that may empirically be ‘higher’ it is received one thing tangible to supply. That is where I’m with the Logitech G FITS earbuds. They’re now the buds I exploit on a day-to-day foundation, and have changed the gaming headset I exploit within the workplace, too.

That is due to their dual-mode wi-fi design and the way simple it’s to change forwards and backwards. I can put on the FITS on my stroll into the workplace listening to stuff on my telephone, swap on my PC, then one fast triple-tap and I am hooked into my desktop rig. Then, once I shut down on the finish of the day, I can simply stroll away and it will routinely reconnect to my telephone for the bus-ride residence. Yeah, I am a one-way walker. It is a huge hill to get again residence.

The Logitech buds are comfy sufficient that carrying them for such an prolonged time period is not actually a difficulty both. That is largely as a result of they really mould to your ears if you first use them. It is a barely odd characteristic, and a barely odd sensation once they’re forming to your ear-holes, too, as a result of they do get heat.

Logitech calls it Lightform and it makes use of UV LEDs within the buds to harden a fabric within the earbud suggestions (a photopolymer) that’s designed to kind to your ears’ particular person form. This has the mixed impact of supplying you with a safe match so they do not fall out, and delivers a pure sound isolation which means Logitech would not want so as to add any battery-draining ANC options to its buds.

It isn’t as efficient as devoted energetic noise cancelling, and does imply in very loud environments you’ll get the skin world leaking in, nevertheless it’s nonetheless fairly efficient.

This becoming course of additionally means you do not have to jam the buds into your ears to ensure that them to remain put, both. That is one thing that may develop into uncomfortable after some time, it doesn’t matter what sorts of other suggestions different earbuds ship with.

And what of the sound? Therein lies among the compromise. Regardless of the excessive value, you might be nonetheless getting a comparatively commonplace 10mm driver. And, whereas they ship a very good audio expertise, I would possibly say they’re a little bit high heavy. That is to not say you are shedding out on the decrease finish of the dimensions, as a result of there is a respectable stage of tonal readability throughout the vary, however out of the field they have a tendency in the direction of the excessive tones.

That is me choosing some nits, switching from some high-end, over-ear headphones to those for a direct comparability. However usually use I have been actually happy with the sound high quality, whether or not I am listening to audiobooks, music, or gaming within the workplace once I needs to be working.

You do not have to jam the buds into your ears to ensure that them to remain put.

The Logitech G FITS do have the identical difficulty that crops up with so many alternative wi-fi earbuds, nonetheless, specifically occasional connection hiccups. It is admittedly fairly rare, however typically you will discover one bud or the opposite not turning on if you pull them from their carry case. It then simply wants shortly dropping again into the case and pulling out once more, so it is solely a minor annoyance. And it is one thing I’ve skilled with just about each set of wi-fi earbuds I’ve ever examined, too.

That case is kinda pleasing, although. It is a flattened egg form, with a matte end that makes it really feel good within the hand. It additionally matches fairly simply right into a pocket, too. Although my difficulty with the comparatively small scale of the case is that it means you possibly can’t maintain the USB dongle inside it. 

The USB Kind-A Lightspeed dongle (utilizing Logitech’s personal 2.4GHz wi-fi connectivity characteristic) is moderately chonky. Realistically you are meant to be leaving that plumbed into your desktop rig moderately than taking it out and about, nevertheless it does nearly preclude utilizing it successfully along with your laptop computer or Steam Deck if you’re on the move. 

That is where the JBL Quantum’s nonetheless have an edge; the Kind-C dongle is sufficiently small to stay of their thicker case and means you at all times have it handy. Nonetheless, the G FITS buds do have a secondary game-mode possibility, which reduces the latency if you’re linked through Bluetooth 5.2.

Logitech has priced its G FITS buds moderately excessive, nonetheless. And, whereas they do have a little bit of a premium aptitude to them, the audio is not fairly adequate to utterly sway me that they are price their $200+ price ticket. But for those who think about they will exchange the gaming headset you’ve plumbed into your desktop at residence in addition to being your out-and-about earbuds, there’s possibly some worth play in that dual-mode utilization mannequin. 

Actually, that is how I have been utilizing them within the workplace, they usually’ve simply changed the better-sounding wired over-ear headset I historically use. Which, once more, is testomony to the ability of their real-world performance. I am a boring type, one who will fortunately eschew kind for operate, and when one thing simply works for me then I will maintain coming again to it. Like I will maintain coming again to the FITS now they’re moulded to me personal ear-holes.
