Hey tech I need help with my turtle beaches stealth pro my problem is that my friends can hear themselves from my mic I play on a ps5 with a monitor is there anyway to fix that
@@pattnyc no they don’t. Still a PC gaming headset at large. A flat stereo sound is used on console / PS5. No EQ settings can be used on console. Very disappointing.
A good use for the port on the dongle, albeit a little niche, is for people who use mixing software like Elgato Wave. If you monitor your audio and use the audio source directly from your PC, you get hit with about 80ms in delay, which isn't too bad but is definitely noticeable. However, if you use the 5mm jack on the Wave XLR or the Wave microphone, you get the added benefit of zero latency monitoring. With most wireless headsets on the market, the only way to get the zero latency monitoring is to plug the 5mm cable directly to your headset which defeats the purpose of having a wireless headset, but with the jack being on the dongle as well, you can plug in the 5mm cable to the dongle instead and still keep the functionality of the wireless headset AND get the benefit of zero latency monitoring.
A major problem I have (dealbreaker) is that this brand new $250 headset meant for PC gaming doesn't seem to support Windows spatial audio (Sonic/Atmos/DTS:X). That's ridiculous. Also there is no wired USB audio support. Also the Equalizer only has 5 sliders and there is no "Link EQ Sliders" button. Logitech really needs to fix this stuff.
The 3.5mm Aux-in in the dongle is ideal if you are using an audio interface (Focusrite, Eveo4, Rodecaster Pro tc) as your main audio on your PC but want to use a Wireless headset. The only other headset that does something similar is the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless with an Aux-in in the base station. Wish all brands did this as it's a MUST for me personally.
With the old version I enjoyed the cloth pads a lot. It was the closest I’ve ever gotten to a wireless open back headset. I might have to try these out.
The 3.5mm input on the adapter is HUGE. A lot of streamers use a mixer, like a GoXLR to mix all of their audio. Then a single line out goes into a stream PC. With a setup like this, can't really use wireless headphones. There are very few headsets with an aux in. Another reviewer mentioned that the 3.5mm input on the dongle is only at 80% volume. Can you confirm this?
I think the use of the 3.5mm port on the wireless usb dongle is for us to use the headset with the ghub software and blue voice while being used wired.
Great review. Maybe for the dongle and the 3.5 input jack, since not simultaneous, I can hook up my phone and use the PlayStation app to talk to my friends while gaming on pc as long as I can still hear the game on pc. Better than nothing but rather have BT be simultaneous.
@@marinomijares9 great question also. Techne would need to test to see. I would like to k ow also. Feel it should work but the question is will it worked wired while being on for BT and no dongle used.
I find the Logitech more comfortable over the Audeze and part of that is the light weight and design. The sound is fairly close but you will get more volume out of the Audeze and better sound overall but if you can save $100 and get the Logitech Pro X2's on sale it's probably worth it! The mic on Razer is better than both, I'm curious to see recommendations on Wireless Headset + MIC Combos! I would imagine this headset plus a Quadcast s would be top tier combo and if wireless is not an issue probably PC 38x or Tygr R open back with quadcast or elgato wave3 mic. I like that this still has the 3.5mm jack over the Razer and would find this useful for some devices and if you were to use this on an Airplane for in-flight entertainment.
cloud 2 wireless is so amazing usb not 3.5. I got the logitech pro x regular one is pretty cool This headset he is talking about is up to 20 hours lower then some others.
No, it’s just an input source for say like an mp3 player or something to go into the headset. No like a dac or 3.5 input for the headset. I thought the same thing as well
@@TheTechne I would be tempted to use the 3.5 as my main audio connection for this headset. I'd be connecting my external DAC to the dongle. Is the audio quality any different?
They failed by not allowing simultaneous Bluetooth. When older headsets offer it. That’s unfortunate because of that I will continue to stick with my Nova Pros and Logitech Gen1 ProX wireless. The white looks great though! Maybe next time.
This was a very helpful video. I just wish that all the youtubers would stop focusing on only fps games and include other types of games like Baldurs Gate 3, Witcher 3, or the Horizon Series, RPGs like that. There is such a huge market for those games, players need headsets for those too, and I didnt get a good grasp from the video of how they would sound for RPGs.
from the look, i dont think they fixed that plastic bracket where it goes in, thats the common braking point for og ones, like they somehow get broken even with out any force or anything, i never dropeed mine and both sides broke and now they are holding together with zipties
Thank you for the review, I was about to purchase this headset after 3 years of absolute joy using the 1st generation, but i'm gonna stay on the older version because I wanted the simultaneous BT and Lightspeed audio mix. Well maybe for the 3rd gen !
Haven’t finished the video yet but I gotta say, every headset video of yours that I watch one of my first questions is “do these work with wicked cushions”?😂 Love that you always integrate that, I’m hooked on them. Seriously makes a huge different in comfort Edit: finished the video. Why no simultaneous Bluetooth audio??😭 They were so close
having a hard time with Xbox Series X compatible headsets. 1st i got was TB Stealth 700 ( 1st gen). nice, lots of features, good mic, but NOT, comfortable, made my head around my ears hurt, after a couple hours max. next, Razer Thresher for Xbox.. loved them. got 2.5 yrs out of them, and the plastic fitting that holds the head frame to the speakers, broke. just. .. snapped.. all i did was pick them up, kind of like plastic in the sun. killed me.. i loved them.. i had bought, last Prime day at Thanksgiving, some Razer Nari Ultimate ( haptic ). held them until, my others died, broke. etc.. OK. great sound, i mean, really crisp, very nice spectrum, and I have bad tinnitus, so "highs" are hard to hear along with vocal ranges. the Nari's were, well, are, great, in that. even more comfortable than the thresher, and i loved the thresher. BUT........ the damn Nari's have a known, unfixed flaw- the Microphone hardly ever pairs up with your Xbox. you have to try,, 5-10-15 times, over n over, before finally, it pairs up.. then, its fine ! ! good sound, but, apparently, they know about it, and have no fix for it (Razer).. i like Razer products for Xbox.. i have a new controller waiting to be used, my old Wolverine Ultimate has been beat to death for 2yrs+, and still working ( kind of amazing, it has 1500 hrs ?? of gaming on it ? and i am not gentle, been dropped a time or two, no repairs of any kind ).. Razer gaming chair ( for my PC ).. but, i bought a pair of 20th Ann Xbox headphones.. and just not... great... sound is OK,, maybe almost as good as the Thresher, but highs are a little weak. big issue is the microphone. its boom is Way toooooo short, and lands about at your cheek, no where close to your mouth. so unless you REALLY SPEAK UP AND ALMOST YELL... you get " dude, i can barely hear you.." :"Man you sound so far away"... nothing IN GAME isnt maxed out, so i cant DO anything else. sending it back just because of that. earcups are OK, need to be about a 1/2 inch wider, really, as they are Oblong, which i dont care for. i have, average ears ?? maybe slightly bigger than average ?? but its the fit around my ears, pressing my head, that bothers me.. thats where the Razers have shined.. so i am trying the Wired HyperX Cloud II headset.. no, not top tier, but, i cant shell out almost the price of a new Xbox Series S or X, for headphones.. my ears wont know the difference.. and the Hyper X have an "in line" adjustment for muting, surround sound, voice volume, game volume, which i really like. so details to follow.. lol... love your channel by the way...
Hey I had a tb stealth 700 and they just snapped so I'm in the market for a new headset for my Xbox, you got any recommendations because I've been looking at a lot and it's kinda stressing me out lol, I want a headset that won't snap on me but is still good ya know
@@dolfuny well, i actually bought 4 pairs of wired headphones, to do my own test..so far, the only one worth using, is the Steele Series new Arctis Nova 3. not my fave, ear pieces are a tiny bit, tight on the ears ? sound is excellent, Mic works well, but, for me, wasnt the best comfort. Razer wireless in general, have been my "go to" headphones, but, my last pair, Razer Ultimate Nari with haptic ( you feel vibrations in your headset ), WOULD have been awesome, BUT, they have a bug, i didnt know about- the Mic takes forever to Sync with your Xbox. its a genuine struggle to get it to recognize ( think restart the headphones over and over, and over, and over ). sound is awesome, controls for chat/audio/environment, lights up when you mute your mic. But that constant "MAYBE;' it will connect, maybe it wont" with the mic, is terrible. i DONT recommend, Razer Kraken X Ultralight ( Wired ), feels incredible cheap, sound was OK, at best. Logitech G Pro X- sounded great, felt great, look and feel premium.. Mic didnt work out of the box.. very disappointed.. they were the best of the ones i tried so far (all wired, again, not wireless ). i would look at Razer Kaira Pro,, if you want to spend $130-$200, Razer Hammerhead or Razer Blackshark V2, you can find some "renewed" on Amazon, and save 30% or more... also...Steele Wireless Series 3 or 5 ( 7 if you like to spend money ). also, its an old model,, like 5 yrs old, but, Razer Thresher for Xbox, i had those for 2.5 yrs,, until they broke- i am not the most gentle on my headphones, and got my moneys worth , easily. great sound, great mic, never a single Sync problem with my Xbox One X, or my Series X.. $80 on Amazon, same as Nari ultimate ( which are better, but, that mic connection issue, is a pain in the ass )..
I disagree with gaming headsets being muddy old news. They still aren't the greatest and honestly if you want good audio quality, you get professional audiophile headphones. I got DT 700 Pro X's and I'm interested in what Logitech had to offer here. The best audio is still from professional headphones, those are the way to go. I use them for gaming and music all the time
Listen to this Guy. Stop focussing on “gaming” headsets. There is ONE that does all of it including being a “gaming” headset. Audeze Maxwell is rocking headphone world AND gaming headset world
Its packed with features. A volume control, power on button, mute button and bluetooth! I would expect this on a basic headset you're not selling it to me.
@@TheTechne for £249 it does not seem reasonable maybe with the 20% logitech student discount for £199 . Razer kraken v3 pro really stands out for me for £189, 179 from john lewis but they couldnt ship it to me. I had problems with my pro x wireless but these problems seem to be for most users, white noise is very noticeable on most wireless headphones not on the kraken v3 pro, unless you turn the headphones hardware volume (scroll on headset) to max its slightly audible, but still beats most wireless headsets. Pro x wireless had only volume control for software hardware blasts speakers at 100% with no option to adjust, i believe these set volume only for software too not hardware, i see this has a different clamp on head design which probably doesnt squeeze your head as much as the last iteration to give you a headache, a bit of improvement, but kraken v3 pro gives more for a cheaper price. LEDS Good bass, haptic feedback, very customizable, leds. If these v2 lightspeeds were a little bit cheaper maybe i would try it out.
I’m surprised logitech didn’t make a wired version of this wireless gaming headset are expensive and i don’t like wireless even in mice because i don’t like to charge them. Anyways i’m excited for the hyperx cloud 3 wired headset
I was thinking about buying these and I found your mictest, thank you! Would you mind telling us what microphone you normally use when recording your video? 😇
@8:30 It's finally back! I missed the 3,5mm input over usb from the G933. I used it to combine audio from my ipad and my pc to play games and watch youtube at the same time. But it's also useful if you have a device that doesn't support audio over usb; you can plugin the 3,5mm and use a different power source or a usb on the same device for power. Works great with things like an old LCD TV.
The V1s have had a lot of reports of the brackets cracking, and I have experienced this issues TWICE! I wonder how they addressed this issue on the V2.
The headphone port on the USB receiver is useful when you have speakers plugged in to your setup and your speakers don’t have an additional port but that’s a very specific case
Thanks Techne for the review. I received the G Pro X2 upgrading from the old model. However it seems that I do not get the "wow" audio quality compare to the old model. Some differences that I experience (straight out of box settings) while playing FPS games such as Overwatch & Apex Legends : 1. The sound of the new model seems more hollow and muffled 2. The sound was quiet 3. The wireless range seems not a much different when tested. Is it possible that I got a defective headset? Or is it just the way it is with the new graphene drivers? Would you be able to share the tuning/equalizer to match the old model/better?
It's terrible for fps, its not defective, just horrible imaging. I sent it back after 1 week. Even s1mple that promotes it does not use it. It's a shame at this price to release such garbage headphones.
@@alundra7420what headset did you end up going with after returning them? I recently bought these thinking it was an upgrade from the older Blackshark V2 Pro and although they do sound nice, the blackshark were way better for FPS games, most specifically CoD for me.
The bad thing of these "reviews" is that nobody shares their setup, which drivers, GHub settings, anything. We don't know how they got the "excelent sound". BTW, there are a couple of reddit posts sharing some solutions, but I don't know if you are going to get what you want. Cheers.
Great review. The mic quality is pretty bad for the price. I watched a number of reviews on G Pro X 2, and many reviewers also mentioned that the mic sucks.
8:38 its there for folks who *dont* have a 3.5mm jack in their system. Some laptops dont have it. Not sure why anyone would use wired over wireless anyways, but thats what it could be used for.
I switched from the Corsair Virtuoso to the Pro X Wireless headset for comfort reasons but the main feature i miss from the virtuoso was the motion based power off AND power on
Are they better than the turtle beach stealth pros? That’s the number one question here… wanting to buy one or the other, just waiting on your professional opinion first lol. Thanks brother, love the content!!
I have both n to be honest it’s a close call. The Stealth Pro’s have simultaneous bt but the X2’s bt works really smooth switching back n forth. On the other hand the X2’s for me are more comfortable. Both sound very good. Hope that helps you!
Amazing video I’m still In search for a great headset and I’m really bent on the max well they have just what I’m looking for and a little extra but I dkn I just feel if I buy them something better will pop up
Damn you’d think for $250 you’d get a mic that’s not total garbage. My friends constantly complain about my mic being bad whenever I use this mic for when travel with my gaming laptop…
Hey Techne. What headset would you recommend for ps5 just for warzone gameplay? Also is there a EQ setting you thinks works best for footstep sound? Need professional help. Thanks
Should I consider this headset over my Sony H7? I'm mainly focusing on Audeze Maxwell now, but starting to consider Logitech G Pro X2 (I like how they look, Audeze is 1.5x more expensive)
I gotta ask, would you reccomend me to get this headset in the video or a Steelseries arctis nova pro wireless?, i am currently using a steelseries arctis 7 and have been planning on getting a new headset but im not sure which.
Between this headset and the BlackShark V2 Pro 2023 and SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P, which are better for hearing footsteps on COD? Or are they all equally good for FPS? I like all three, but i dont know which are better on PS5 for FPS
I've had the G933 dongle with the source in and I love to listen my music or my tv connected while I'm gaming. Also when I go away from My Pc with the G933, no cable in the way.
Which one should I choose? I’ve been using the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, I don’t like noise cancelling nub in the ear cup even though I’ve had WC Cushions. Should I switch them out for the G Pro X 2 Wireless?
I am confused between the hs80 because it has a great mic sound and its sound is balanced and the SteelSeries Artix 7+, which I liked is the control wheel between the game sound and the conversation sound. I have 200$ with do you recommend for me . I am pc player
The only gripe I have with the OG G Pro X is the comfort. I don't know what's causing it but these make the top of my head hurt after a while, to the point where I've started to just game with wired Apple EarPods. The 2nd gen seems to be great but I don't want to run into the same problem comfort wise.
Although it may seem like a minor thing, that ear cup swivel is a huge upgrade. I owned the previous version and it was a terrible design flaw with the fixed position. When removing one earcup to hear what was going on in the room, there would be tension between the metal headband and the plastic piece that was held together with two very small metal screws. It broke within 9 months and I taped them together with gorilla tape. Logitech replaced them with eventually the same result. :(
I had to replace three pairs this swivel will fix that huge flaw looking forward to getting a pair. They are the only comfy headset on the market for ear size cup material and clamping force. Between work and games it might be 12-14 hours of use daily
If I ever needed to take them off to listen to somebody I'd usually put them around my neck but it felt like it was choking me. Definitely getting the new ones
Are we able to use the headset wired while simultaneously using Bluetooth connection? Example: Connect the headset wired to PS5, while having music over Bluetooth
For the price...we should have cloth pads automatically, the pleather pads shred way too fast. And the pop filter (windscreen) should be primo without needing to buy additions. With the price increase on such a nice pair of headphones, there should never be a need to pay more to 'upgrade' one of the most expensive headphones on the market.
its weird that they have the same mic as the g1 but they arent advertising the Blue Ice Pop add on mic they sold for the G1 as being compatable. I hope it will still work together regardless of logitech not updating the produt page.
hey bro! I want to know if you inable the blue voice in G-HUB. It is possible that can be use in ps5? or It can only be use in PC? I need to know thanks ☺️
@SofaKingA They are so amazing, the sound and the freedom of its software, also it sounds perfect on other devices not using the steelseries sonar, But i advise you to get them the wicked cusions if you live in a country with a hot or very warm environment.
Never saw someone go so excited about swivel but you’ve always been a hardcore swiveler since I’ve been following. Wish this had simultaneous Bluetooth.. can you suggest a headset that does?
Had for a day, g pros are more clear to footsteps and comp details, but new ones are more rich and details all around, struggling with a improvement of bass
Im almost sold on this headset but the only thing im worried about is if it can control the volume of the game and the volume of a ps5 party chat kind of like the Astro headset. Anyone have an answer?
That mic test was so disappointing. If they were going to majorly upgrade anything, it should have been that. The mic is the area where most headsets are really lacking and where Corsair excels. At my job I sell so many Corsair headsets on the mic alone. Any company that nails the mic will set themselves apart in the current market. If the mic had been significantly better on these, then I could see justification for the upgrade, but I really don't think graphene drivers are really enough to sell people on a new versions of these. There are simply better headsets out there.
One thing I forgot to mention is that your custom audio settings do not save to the headset.

also, its an old model,, like 5 yrs old, but, Razer Thresher for Xbox, i had those for 2.5 yrs,, until they broke- i am not the most gentle on my headphones, and got my moneys worth , easily. great sound, great mic, never a single Sync problem with my Xbox One X, or my Series X.. $80 on Amazon, same as Nari ultimate ( which are better, but, that mic connection issue, is a pain in the ass )..
I disagree with gaming headsets being muddy old news. They still aren't the greatest and honestly if you want good audio quality, you get professional audiophile headphones. I got DT 700 Pro X's and I'm interested in what Logitech had to offer here. The best audio is still from professional headphones, those are the way to go. I use them for gaming and music all the time
Listen to this Guy. Stop focussing on “gaming” headsets. There is ONE that does all of it including being a “gaming” headset. Audeze Maxwell is rocking headphone world AND gaming headset world
@@dantebest8 I've thought about getting it but the Penrose was so terrible I think I'll stay far away
If you had to pick between these and the Nova Pros being a music and story gamer what do you pick?
Its packed with features. A volume control, power on button, mute button and bluetooth! I would expect this on a basic headset you're not selling it to me.
Compared to the originals it is.
@@TheTechne for £249 it does not seem reasonable maybe with the 20% logitech student discount for £199 . Razer kraken v3 pro really stands out for me for £189, 179 from john lewis but they couldnt ship it to me. I had problems with my pro x wireless but these problems seem to be for most users, white noise is very noticeable on most wireless headphones not on the kraken v3 pro, unless you turn the headphones hardware volume (scroll on headset) to max its slightly audible, but still beats most wireless headsets. Pro x wireless had only volume control for software hardware blasts speakers at 100% with no option to adjust, i believe these set volume only for software too not hardware, i see this has a different clamp on head design which probably doesnt squeeze your head as much as the last iteration to give you a headache, a bit of improvement, but kraken v3 pro gives more for a cheaper price. LEDS Good bass, haptic feedback, very customizable, leds. If these v2 lightspeeds were a little bit cheaper maybe i would try it out.
Been watching for awhile now uncle techne, glad you got the pronunciation on audeze down😂😂love you brother keep it up!
Beautiful review, thanks! 🥳🥳🥳
I’m surprised logitech didn’t make a wired version of this wireless gaming headset are expensive and i don’t like wireless even in mice because i don’t like to charge them. Anyways i’m excited for the hyperx cloud 3 wired headset
I have the og pro wired when it first came out great but ehh soundstage is not as good I just upgraded to the Maxwells and they are far better.
G502 with the lightspeed charging mat is god tier. Wireless but never have to charge.
I was thinking about buying these and I found your mictest, thank you! Would you mind telling us what microphone you normally use when recording your video? 😇
@8:30 It's finally back! I missed the 3,5mm input over usb from the G933. I used it to combine audio from my ipad and my pc to play games and watch youtube at the same time. But it's also useful if you have a device that doesn't support audio over usb; you can plugin the 3,5mm and use a different power source or a usb on the same device for power. Works great with things like an old LCD TV.
I’m tempted to get these for the Prime Day sale. I’ll just stick to the Nova pro Wireless. I really like that white though.
Cool video! The USB is a dongle for wireless connectivity, simply plug and play.
Now we need a G915 refresh with PBT caps and Optical switches and a G Pro X Superlight with new Switches and we good to go
don't forget type c charging
@@wrysonworkshop4022 no need to forget, they will get forced by EU to use USB-C just like apple is forced to
@@trypelz6840 I actually haven't considered this, interesting..
A new G915 would be an instant cop from me. I was going to buy the Razer deathstalker v2 pro tkl but paying $225 for ABS caps makes my pee pee soft.
@@refragged What about keychron?
I’ve waited so long for them to release the g pro with Bluetooth 😭 gonna cop this headset for sure
Thank you Techne. We appreciate the dedication and hours you put into these reviews.
I like how these dont look like flashy gaming headphones
The V1s have had a lot of reports of the brackets cracking, and I have experienced this issues TWICE! I wonder how they addressed this issue on the V2.
Brackets cracked on mine as well
The headphone port on the USB receiver is useful when you have speakers plugged in to your setup and your speakers don’t have an additional port but that’s a very specific case
Thanks Techne for the review. I received the G Pro X2 upgrading from the old model. However it seems that I do not get the "wow" audio quality compare to the old model. Some differences that I experience (straight out of box settings) while playing FPS games such as Overwatch & Apex Legends :
1. The sound of the new model seems more hollow and muffled
2. The sound was quiet
3. The wireless range seems not a much different when tested.
Is it possible that I got a defective headset? Or is it just the way it is with the new graphene drivers?
Would you be able to share the tuning/equalizer to match the old model/better?
It's terrible for fps, its not defective, just horrible imaging. I sent it back after 1 week. Even s1mple that promotes it does not use it. It's a shame at this price to release such garbage headphones.
@@alundra7420what headset did you end up going with after returning them? I recently bought these thinking it was an upgrade from the older Blackshark V2 Pro and although they do sound nice, the blackshark were way better for FPS games, most specifically CoD for me.
hey. just got them and the sound is really muffled. did you solve it?
The bad thing of these "reviews" is that nobody shares their setup, which drivers, GHub settings, anything. We don't know how they got the "excelent sound". BTW, there are a couple of reddit posts sharing some solutions, but I don't know if you are going to get what you want. Cheers.
Great review. The mic quality is pretty bad for the price. I watched a number of reviews on G Pro X 2, and many reviewers also mentioned that the mic sucks.
8:38 its there for folks who *dont* have a 3.5mm jack in their system. Some laptops dont have it. Not sure why anyone would use wired over wireless anyways, but thats what it could be used for.
Extremely helpful video :)
Everything about this headset is perfect… except for the mic, the mic is honestly just disappointing
Which one is the best? This one or razer blackshark v2 pro 2023?
I switched from the Corsair Virtuoso to the Pro X Wireless headset for comfort reasons but the main feature i miss from the virtuoso was the motion based power off AND power on
I'm looking to make the same switch. Do they sound better than the Virtuoso? I feel like the Virtuoso sound quite poor.
@@JetPackGa good eq curve makes the sound alot better but i agree, i am looking for an upgrade myself
Worth the switch tho?
Big thing for me, what's more comfortable the Logitech or the Arctic Nova pro?
For me the X2’s are more comfortable.
Razer Blackshark V2 Pro 2023 or Logitech G Pro X 2? What's your thoughts?
X2’s for me I’ve had both
Are they better than the turtle beach stealth pros? That’s the number one question here… wanting to buy one or the other, just waiting on your professional opinion first lol. Thanks brother, love the content!!
I have both n to be honest it’s a close call. The Stealth Pro’s have simultaneous bt but the X2’s bt works really smooth switching back n forth. On the other hand the X2’s for me are more comfortable.
Both sound very good. Hope that helps you!
Amazing video I’m still
In search for a great headset and I’m really bent on the max well they have just what I’m looking for and a little extra but I dkn I just feel if I buy them something better will pop up
I definitely like your approach to new headsets and your reviews are still awesome
Ty for reviewing
Would be great to see a review on the Skullcandy Plyrs Wireless headset. Was thinking of getting it but would like your opinion
Do you think its a worth upgrade from the Blackshark v2 pro?
Damn you’d think for $250 you’d get a mic that’s not total garbage. My friends constantly complain about my mic being bad whenever I use this mic for when travel with my gaming laptop…
I'm happy with my blackshark v2 pro 2023. They really improved the microphone.
Hey Techne. What headset would you recommend for ps5 just for warzone gameplay? Also is there a EQ setting you thinks works best for footstep sound? Need professional help. Thanks
Is it fair to say that they have the best mic for wireless headsets right now?
Which would you say are more comfortable for longer wear, the logitech or the blackshark v2?
Are these good for music?
Should I consider this headset over my Sony H7?
I'm mainly focusing on Audeze Maxwell now, but starting to consider Logitech G Pro X2 (I like how they look, Audeze is 1.5x more expensive)
I would say 3,5mm jack in dongle is for devices with usb but lack of 3,5mm jack.
I gotta ask, would you reccomend me to get this headset in the video or a Steelseries arctis nova pro wireless?, i am currently using a steelseries arctis 7 and have been planning on getting a new headset but im not sure which.
the dongle with the 3.5 mm port is prob for something like the GOXLR so you can output the audio to the dongle honestly very useful I might cop
Between this headset and the BlackShark V2 Pro 2023 and SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P, which are better for hearing footsteps on COD? Or are they all equally good for FPS? I like all three, but i dont know which are better on PS5 for FPS
I assume the 3.5 into the USB is to use it wired with the features from the software
The Wicked Cushions really are a game changer!
I've had the G933 dongle with the source in and I love to listen my music or my tv connected while I'm gaming. Also when I go away from My Pc with the G933, no cable in the way.
i hope you try a 1 month review with this one with fps gaming.
Would you say that the Logitech headset is better than the Sony 3d pulse/elite?
This goes for gaming and watching movies
Which one should I choose? I’ve been using the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, I don’t like noise cancelling nub in the ear cup even though I’ve had WC Cushions. Should I switch them out for the G Pro X 2 Wireless?
I'm between the same ones
Will the Blue Icepop microphone fit the 2.0 version of this headset?
I am confused between the hs80 because it has a great mic sound and its sound is balanced and the SteelSeries Artix 7+, which I liked is the control wheel between the game sound and the conversation sound. I have 200$ with do you recommend for me . I am pc player
The only gripe I have with the OG G Pro X is the comfort. I don't know what's causing it but these make the top of my head hurt after a while, to the point where I've started to just game with wired Apple EarPods. The 2nd gen seems to be great but I don't want to run into the same problem comfort wise.
Hello, can you confirm that the ear clips are now metal and not plastic like the first model? Thanks
Although it may seem like a minor thing, that ear cup swivel is a huge upgrade. I owned the previous version and it was a terrible design flaw with the fixed position. When removing one earcup to hear what was going on in the room, there would be tension between the metal headband and the plastic piece that was held together with two very small metal screws. It broke within 9 months and I taped them together with gorilla tape. Logitech replaced them with eventually the same result. :(
I had the same thing. teh plastic clip holding the work in the headband snapped after about a year. Has to get them replaced
I had to replace three pairs this swivel will fix that huge flaw looking forward to getting a pair. They are the only comfy headset on the market for ear size cup material and clamping force. Between work and games it might be 12-14 hours of use daily
If I ever needed to take them off to listen to somebody I'd usually put them around my neck but it felt like it was choking me. Definitely getting the new ones
that 3.5 kindda cool u can use ur phone to change music without getting out of the game and going to Google / Spotify
Question, if you could only get the logitech g pro X2 or the Nova 7x which one would you choose to use for the rest of your life on a PS5?
HI techne, which would you pick? H6pro closeback or GproX2 wired version ?
Are we able to use the headset wired while simultaneously using Bluetooth connection?
Example: Connect the headset wired to PS5, while having music over Bluetooth
Someone in another review said it's imaging was very bad, what's your take on that?
For the price...we should have cloth pads automatically, the pleather pads shred way too fast. And the pop filter (windscreen) should be primo without needing to buy additions. With the price increase on such a nice pair of headphones, there should never be a need to pay more to 'upgrade' one of the most expensive headphones on the market.
Was wondering what your EQ setting were for the headphones? Seems like they took out the Adavanced EQ tab?
its weird that they have the same mic as the g1 but they arent advertising the Blue Ice Pop add on mic they sold for the G1 as being compatable. I hope it will still work together regardless of logitech not updating the produt page.
It would be really nice to actually hear mic and sound test.
Logitech g pro X2 or the hyperx cloud 3 wireless?
(Microphone doesnt matter since i have a elgato wave 3)
hey bro! I want to know if you inable the blue voice in G-HUB. It is possible that can be use in ps5? or It can only be use in PC? I need to know thanks ☺️
Okay I don’t even need a new headset but if there is a wired version available in that white color way I’m getting it
Can you answer and hold phone calls while using the headset?
i already bought the arctis nova 7, should i return it ? or stick with it? please tell me
Stick to deez nuts
Return it and buy Maxwell. Planar magnetic drivers from Audeze for 300 dollars?! They fucking nailed it
Man I'm thinking of getting the Nova 7 as well. How do you like them so far?
@SofaKingA They are so amazing, the sound and the freedom of its software, also it sounds perfect on other devices not using the steelseries sonar, But i advise you to get them the wicked cusions if you live in a country with a hot or very warm environment.
@@UCG_Edits Thank you for the info! When it doesn't have software you just use the 3.5 mm aux cord?
So I know the headset only works wired on the Xbox. Anyone know if the mic will work wired on Xbox?
Of course it does.
is this better than the blackshark pro?
Never saw someone go so excited about swivel but you’ve always been a hardcore swiveler since I’ve been following. Wish this had simultaneous Bluetooth.. can you suggest a headset that does?
😂😂 swiveler fo life
Hold up…… Swivel tattoo?
@@TheTechne mind blown!
Had for a day, g pros are more clear to footsteps and comp details, but new ones are more rich and details all around, struggling with a improvement of bass
I am a HyperX fan cuz it is so comfy to wear their headset.
I bought an old G Pro once and sold it within a week cuz it's too cramped to my head.
Im almost sold on this headset but the only thing im worried about is if it can control the volume of the game and the volume of a ps5 party chat kind of like the Astro headset. Anyone have an answer?
yes waited for this bro
That mic test was so disappointing. If they were going to majorly upgrade anything, it should have been that. The mic is the area where most headsets are really lacking and where Corsair excels. At my job I sell so many Corsair headsets on the mic alone. Any company that nails the mic will set themselves apart in the current market. If the mic had been significantly better on these, then I could see justification for the upgrade, but I really don't think graphene drivers are really enough to sell people on a new versions of these. There are simply better headsets out there.
