I had purchased the Logitech G Pro a bit more than a year and a half ago and was generally satisfied with it, but the vinyl of the headband was starting to wear out so I decided it was time for an upgrade. I had liked the fit and style (not too aggressively Gamer™️ looking like some other headsets) so I decided to go for an upgrade in the same line and chose this.The higher price of the Pro X definitely at least translates to a higher quality look and feel. The old Pro felt a little bit plastic-y and kinda rattled around if gently shaken, and these are an upgrade on both counts. They look more professional with the metal accents on the earcups and stitching on the headband (which is also textured to feel more like leather than the old thin vinyl), and are tensioned to hold the earcups together when you aren’t wearing them so they don’t rattle and aren’t as cumbersome to handle. I will say that the tension is a little tight on my head, but that might become less of an issue as they break in a little bit.The one thing I do miss about the old Pro are the microsuede ear pads. I live in a tropical location so leatherette/vinyl ear pads usually feel sticky and sweaty so I was hoping the velour ear pad option on the Pro X would be the same as the microsuede ones, but they are not. They’re a bit fuzzier feeling than I’d like so my ears get kinda warm in them even though they are supposed to be breathable.I see some other reviews mention receiving a faulty mic but I at least am pleased to say that mine worked fine straight out of the box.As for sound quality, the included usb DAC actually makes a huge difference in sound quality when combined with the equalizer in the G Hub software. Straight out of the box with no EQ tuning they sounded a little tinny and weak on the bass, but adjusting it a bit made a massive improvement and now switching back to my old headset to compare is like night and day. I’m no audiophile so I can’t say how well they stack up to non-headset headphones specifically made for music listening in this price point, but with the sound card they’re definitely miles better than my old ones. I’m also not much of a FPS player so surround sound isn’t as much of a concern to me so I’ll leave rating that up to the other reviews.Edit 4/28/21: So it’s been about 8 months since I bought these and I’m overall still satisfied, but the vinyl of the ear pads is beginning to wear off on one side, which is a little annoying. Admittedly they’re getting a lot more daily use than my last pair due to working from home meaning I’m wearing them nearly all day (upside: plenty comfy to do so, no complaints there), but there is nothing worse than vinyl flaking everywhere so the pads had to go. The velour backup pads that came with the headphones are too fuzzy and bother my ears so I ended up replacing the pads entirely with Brainwavs Large Ovals (here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MFDT894/). They are a little bit of a stretch to actually get them on and they are shaped differently than the OEM ones, but they DO fit and are pretty comfy too.

Firstly, I AM an audiophile (at least, your crowd would consider me to be). I have owned several pairs of really good headphones, my favorite being a pair of $300 Argon modded T50RPs. And I think this headset is really good for the price. I have this review organized into different parts, so you can just to a particular section if you want, but I recommend reading the entire review (not just for mine, but for all reviews).-PACKAGING AND STUFF-The headphone comes in a foam sleeve for protection, which you can just slip off. It comes with two cables, a longer braided cable with a volume wheel and a mic mute button, and a slightly shorter rubber cable with a button meant for phone use. It also comes with a y-splitter which is for compatibility purposes with some PCs, but you won’t be using this because you’ll be using the USB dongle it comes with to use that Blue Voice technology. It also comes with a very nice carrying bag made with a similar material to some sweat pants, and an alternate pair of velour ear pads (velour is a soft and breathable material).-BUILD/COMFORT/ISOLATION-This headphone is really well built, with hard plastic cups and a metal headband covered with pleather. The cups also have a protruding machined metal circular G logo that reflect in the light, which you’ll either love or hate. The headband could use a bit softer padding, but it isn’t terrible. The ear pads fit over my ears perfectly, and seal very well. The good seal comes from the tighter clamping force of this headphone. Clamping force is just how tight the headphone is on you, and the nice thing about having a metal headband is that you can always bend the top of the headband back a few times to alleviate the clamping force (while still being careful) if it’s too tight and uncomfortable for you. The pads are soft and thick enough to provide standard comfort for us audio nerds, but if you’re used to crappy and uncomfortable headphones then this will be a a godsend for you. A quick note about the “noise cancelling” Amazon is asking me to review: this are not noise cancelling headphones. Noise cancelling (also called active noise cancelling, ANC) is when the headphones emit a frequency that tries to negate long and consistent sounds, such as airplane noise. These do have fantastic noise isolation, which is when the headphones have such a good seal that it’s harder to hear outside noises, even with nothing’s playing. That’s why I gave the “Noise Cancelling” 3 stars, because that’s not what this has.-MIC-To be clear; I’m a headphone guy, not a mic guy. That being said, while this definitely won’t compare to an expensive $150+ XLR mic setup, the mic on this headphone sounds really good, and I can’t imagine any headset around this price having as good of a mic. At least, that’s what I got from all of the comparison videos and reviews I watched before buying these. But where this shines is the software, allowing you to tweak the sound of your mic on the Logitech G Hub software. Like many others, I personally like the preset “Broadcaster 2”, but there are other presets too, including ones for people with high pitched loud voices or high pitched soft voices (as well as low pitched voice equivalents). Basically, there are a lot of presets to choose from and you can further tweak the settings if you want, creating the best sound profile for your voice.-SOUND QUALITY-REALLY good for the price. The sound overall is smoother and more natural than a pair of $150 headphones I own (AKG K552 MK2). While I have’t tested the sound extensively and compared it to all of my headphones, from what I can tell the sound signature is mostly neutral. This means that you won’t have higher or lower frequencies that are much louder than others (Beats headphones, for example, have much louder bass than everything else). This is generally good in a headphone, but if you wanted to boost the bass (or any other frequency) you can change the EQ in the G Hub Software. The soundstage isn’t very big, which means that it sounds like everything is in a small room with you rather than a few rows back in a concert hall like it would if there was a big soundstage. While most people would prefer having a large soundstage when playing games, it really comes down to personal preference. The stereo imaging is very good on these headphones too. Nothing game changing or absolutely amazing, but it does what it’s supposed to and doesn’t have any weird quirks like a pair of headphones I listened to at one point.This is really important though: please don’t click “Enable Surround Sound” in the G Hub Software. This enables virtual surround sound, which doesn’t really do anything when it comes to positional audio, but it does decrease audio quality by a little bit. Virtual surround sound is basically a scam, even the ones that do change the sound only over-exaggerate the imaging to unrealistic proportions, and will require you to get used to the new exaggerated sound. Games already have their own positional audio system, and exaggeration done by software is an alteration not intended by the sound team for that game. Headphones with “real” surround sound that have multiple drivers per cup will pretty much always sound worse compared to similarly priced headphones with one driver per cup (stereo headphones), because each driver will be and sound cheaper, and doesn’t help positional audio because they’re all in the same cup anyways. Thank you for listening to my TED Talk.

I needed a headset that I could use for Teams/Zoom meetings during the day and gaming in the evenings. I had the Audeze Maxwell for a while, which is great sounding with excellent mic, but far too fragile. This headset is the next best thing *and* has some additional features I’m a big fan of. Great all day comfort, looks fashionable (unlike the Maxwell), mic is good enough, sound is great, and easily switch between phone and computer (no automatically switching in the middle of your meeting, as the Maxwells did). Highly recommend.

I’m on PC, so I can’t speak for the console users, but I already tried the Nova Pro Wireless, Astro A50 Gen 4, Hyperx Cloud Flight, Logitech G533, G735, G535, all of these were wireless, this one is better than all of them in sound quality and stereo imaging (basically how good they are to pinpoint where stuff is coming from) but, right before I got these, I was using a wired pair of Audio Technica M50X, and those are better in sound quality, but not by a lot, so I chose these because of the wireless capability, the cable on the m50x was driving me crazy, even though it is the best cable I’ve had to deal with.I wanted to try the Audeze Maxwell, because those are supposed to be better than any other wireless headset in terms of sound quality, but the QC problems they’ve had, and all the people claiming that theirs broke after a couple months just made stick to these, I’m pretty sure the audeze have better sound quality by a long shot but, I’d rather have a peace of mind with these not breaking in a long time as any logitech product I’ve had before, and if they do break, I know that logitech gives you 2 years of warranty instead of 1 as any other headset brands, plus, they have amazing customer service, they send replacements in a couple days no weird questions asked.

I was very disappointed with the sound quality at first with the Logitech G PRO X 2. Until I did some research and turned OFF the surround sound. The surround sound simply does not sound good, at least to me. Without the surround sound, I simply turned up the volume and with the right EQ settings the sound is VERY good for gaming and listening to music. The preset I use for my EQ is from “ProjektBloo”. The preset is 6, 5, 2, 6, 7 under the “Universal Audio Mix” in the G Hub software. The only thing I do not like about the G Hub software is that it does not load on start up. Which I read that Logitech is aware of and hopefully will be fixed via an update.
