Much has been said about real-world functionality. When a product fits easily into your life, pushing aside other products that might be empirically "better," you know it has something tangible to offer. Such is the case with Logitech's G FITS earphones. They are now my everyday earphones and have replaced the gaming headset I use in the office.

The reason for this is the dual-mode wireless design and the ease of switching between the two: I can wear the FITS to the office, turn on my PC while listening to music on my phone, and connect to my desktop PC via triple tap. And when I shut down at the end of the day, I can walk away and it will automatically reconnect to my cell phone on the bus ride home. Yes, I walk one way. There is a big hill to get home.

The Logitech buds are so comfortable that I don't mind wearing them for long periods of time. That's because they fit in my ears the first time I use them. This is a bit of an odd feature, and also a bit of an odd sensation, because when they fit in your ear canals they get warm.

Logitech calls this Lightform, which uses UV LEDs in the buds to cure the material (photopolymer) at the tip of the earphones, which is designed to form to the shape of the ear. This allows the earbuds to fit securely without falling out and provides natural sound insulation, so Logitech does not need to add battery-draining ANC features to the buds.

It's not as effective as dedicated active noise cancellation, and in very noisy environments it will still leak sound from the outside world, but it's still quite effective.

This fitting process also means that the buds do not need to be pushed into the ear to secure them in place. This is something that becomes uncomfortable after a while, no matter what alternative tips other earbuds are bundled with.

And what about the sound? Despite their high price, they have relatively standard 10mm drivers. And while they provide a good audio experience, they could be described as a bit top-heavy. Out of the box, however, it leans toward high tones.

This is my subjective opinion, having switched from high-end over-ear headphones to these headphones for a direct comparison. However, in general use, I am really happy with the sound quality, whether I am listening to audiobooks, music, or playing games when I should be working in the office. I'm testing the product, and I'm not sure if I'm going to like it or not, but I'm not sure.

However, the Logitech G FITS have the same problem that occurs with many wireless earphones: occasional connection problems. Quite rarely, one of the buds will not turn on when removed from the carrying case. If this happens, it is only a minor annoyance, as you can simply put it back in the case immediately and pull it out again. This has also been my experience with almost all of the wireless earbuds I have tested.

The case, however, is a bit of a delight. It's flat, egg-shaped, and has a matte finish that feels good in the hand. It slips easily into a pocket. My problem, however, is that the relatively small scale of the case makes it impossible to keep a USB dongle inside.

The USB Type-A Lightspeed dongle (which uses Logitech's proprietary 2.4GHz wireless connectivity) is rather cheap. Realistically, I would leave this dongle plugged into my desktop device rather than taking it outside, but it is almost impossible to use it effectively on a laptop or Steam Deck (open in new tab) while on the move.

The JBL Quantum (opens in new tab) still has an advantage: the Type-C dongle is small enough to fit in a thick case and is always on hand. Still, the G FITS Buds have a secondary game mode option that reduces latency when connected via Bluetooth 5.2.

However, the price of Logitech's G FITS buds is quite high. And while it's a bit upscale, the audio isn't enough to completely sway me that it's worth the $200+ price tag. However, considering that they can replace the gaming headset I have plugged into my desktop at home, as well as earbuds for on-the-go use, this dual-mode use model may be worth it.

Indeed, I use this headset in my office and it has replaced the better-sounding wired over-ear headset I used to use. This also proves its actual functionality. I'm the boring type and will happily choose a form for function, just as the FITS fit my ear canals.
