Like the headset, that’s on the low end of the spectrum for longevity, considering its high price. Logitech says you can expect around 25 hours of battery per charge. The G715 can tether wirelessly to the included Lightspeed 2.4GHz dongle or connect via Bluetooth. Logitech says you’ll be able to choose between tactile, linear, or clicky mechanical GX switches at the time of purchase. In addition to backlighting beneath each of their double-shot PBT keycaps, they have LEDs surrounding the keyboard to give off an aura. The $199.99 wireless G715, alongside the $169.99 wired G713, are tenkeyless models that feature media keys, a volume wheel, and a whole lot of RGB LEDs.
The G715 and G713 include a cloud-shaped wrist rest, which otherwise costs $20 by itself. Turning off the lighting apparently bumps it up to around a 56-hour lifespan per charge. Most wireless headsets these days tout day-long battery life, at least, so this is a disappointing figure. Logitech says that the G735 can last around 16 hours with the LED lighting on and at 50 percent volume. The G735 features dual wireless connectivity, the ability to connect via 2.4GHz and, say, your phone via Bluetooth. While that’s technically true, it’s weird that it apparently only makes its other headsets for people with giant heads and perfect vision. Logitech claims that the G735’s design is more inclusive because it can accommodate smaller heads and things like small earrings and glasses. Like the much more affordable ($50 or so) G435 wireless headset, the G735 features braille on each sidearm to identify left from right, which is a great accessibility feature that more companies should copy.
It looks like a more whimsical version of the G Pro X model, clad in white with RGB LEDs tracing around the perimeter of its bulbous, rotating earcups. The head of the class in terms of price and impressive features is the $229.99 G735 wireless headset. The G735 isn’t all that vibrant by default, with just its RGB LEDs. Only, in addition to neat looks that lean on “gender-inclusivity” marketing, this collection has beyond-accessible prices and surprisingly lousy battery life claims.
The Aurora collection focuses more on gaming than the productivity-oriented peripherals previously launched. Over the last few years, it started offering accessories with more rounded corners and fun colors. Logitech has realized that not everything needs to look like it comes from the office IT department or from wherever the “gamer aesthetic” emerged.
