![]() There will also be a cheaper, regular Logitech G Pro headset available later this month (review coming shortly) for just £85 / $100, but that one doesn't come with the built-in Blue Voice tech. It's still reasonably pricey compared to other gaming headsets out there, but at £110 / $130, it's also quite a chunk of change cheaper than many of its top-end rivals - including the Arctis 7. A gaming headset that ticks so many boxes must be ludicrously expensive like Steelseries' Arctis Pro, right? Wrong. ![]() That's thanks to its built-in Blue Voice technology (yep, that's the same Blue company that make the excellent Yeti USB microphone), and it's probably the closest you'll ever come to having a broadcast quality mic on a pair of gaming headphones. Not only is this a great-sounding gaming headset, but it's also incredibly comfortable and has arguably the best quality microphone I've ever tested. After an incredible 18 month stint at the top of our best gaming headset list, the Steelseries Arctis 7 must now give up its throne to the brand-new Logitech G Pro X headset. Logitech's back to basics approach with the G Pro X Wireless, once paired with a high price tag, sets it up for a fall, and it simply cannot deliver what it needs to in order to justify the down payment.It had to happen eventually. That's a $70 increase over the wired variant, which was already a touch overpriced in my opinion and really only bolstered by the inclusion of a USB to 3.5mm DAC-the likes of which isn't included or required with the wireless pair. But hey, it's got one mark of a professional headset about it: a $200 price tag. The Logitech G Pro X Wireless doesn't offer anything that the competition doesn't also offer, albeit often in a far less high-minded headset, and it's frustrating to see the basics-functionality that would make or break any good gaming headset-tipped to be the exclusive demand of professional gamers.Īnd despite its starry-eyed branding, the Logitech G Pro X Wireless is actually quite mundane: the drivers are fine, mic quality is okay, and there's little to differentiate it from other gaming headsets. The integrated Blue Vo!ce functionality offers some respite, in the form of a custom EQ, although most of the presets only serve to compound the sharp tone and response.īest wireless gaming mouse: ideal cable-free rodentsīest wireless gaming keyboard: no wires, no worriesīest wireless gaming headset: top untethered audio An overbearing high-end means you miss out on bass and middle frequencies, which causes a tonally sharp profile. I prefer the close-to-flat EQ of something akin to the Pro-G drivers, yet these particular drivers muddle their way through both games and music without any clear definition throughout the range. That is to say that the twin Pro-G drivers are nothing special. These are the same Hybrid mesh Pro-G drivers found in the wired set, and so my sentiment remains the same. ![]() Two 50mm neodymium drivers drive the G Pro X Wireless. Yet without both headsets in hand I can't say I noticed a great deal of extra weight during actual wear, and the headset's snug fit keeps the weight away from any one particular pain point. It's considerable weight increase, in theory. That and wireless capabilities add 50 grams to the overall weight of the Pro X Wireless over the wired variant, for a total of 370 grams (13 oz). I had no issue reaching that mark through general on/off use over a few days, either. Thankfully, Logitech has also seen fit to include a non-braided cable for charging, meaning you can both charge your headset and listen to music without audible scratching travelling through the cable and into your ear drums-an issue I had with the wired variant.ĭisconnected from the mains, the battery is capable of 20 hours of juice. ![]()
