I'll try to anwser everyone's question individually but also wanted sticky this. There is NO hiss in the microphone. If sidetone is above 55 and the mic is active, there is a faint hiss that slowly increases to a fairly loud hiss if the side tone is set to 100%. Otherwise if side tone is set to 50 or below, there is no hiss no matter what. Also - the forks are metal now. I thought I said that in the review but I may have cut that part off in editing. Sorry!
Joe you're the only reviewer who mentioned the fact that this headset (whole G Pro X series maybe?) disables Windows spatial sound (Sonic/Atmos/DTS). Upon investigating this it appears to be a years old issue with the Logitech audio driver and/or G Hub software. People have been complaining about it for years you can see on Reddit and elsewhere. This is a dealbreaker for many people because they buy licenses for Atmos/DTS and expect to be able to use them. Windows spatial sound is an OS level function that should work with all headsets. I've never seen any other headset have this weird problem. There is a workaround by uninstalling the Logitech audio driver/G Hub and then installing the basic Microsoft audio driver, which will enable you to use the Windows spatial sound. However then you lose all functionality of G Hub so it's really not a good solution. Logitech needs to fix this. Please reach out to them about this very annoying issue. Maybe they will finally do something about it if you do.
It's mind blowing that you only have 40k followers, you should have so many more by now. Long videos? Yes, but every ounce of it is useful. Easily the best on TH-cam.
I want to say something about this that I haven't seen anyone say yet. I'm planning on getting a new headset soon, and I am a PC user. The primary use-case for simultaneous bluetooth (if this had it) would be to play on Nintendo Switch connected with bluetooth to the headset wirelessly, and to my primary monitor via HDMI, while also hearing my discord chat and whatever else I want to use my secondary PC monitor for. The somewhat overlooked addition of the auxillary input on the dongle allows me to do this regardless. I can connect the Nintendo Switch auxillary audio output on the top of the Switch handset to the dongle plugged into my PC. The only other meaningful use-case for simultaneous bluetooth (for me personally) would be to take a call from my girlfriend while in a game like League of Legends that cannot just be paused. But honestly it isn't that much worse to just switch to bluetooth while I take the call, and lose game audio for that duration, and then switch back once I am done on the phone. The primary competitor to this headset in my opinion is the Arctis Nova 7. Similar price point and many of the same features. In my opinion the only way that this headset loses is the simultaneous bluetooth feature. Now, if the little auxillary port on the dongle did not exist, it would not even be close. I would not consider this headset over the Arctis for even a moment. But the fact that it does exist makes it somewhat competitive still for my situation. Just thought that was worth saying. If Logitech re-released this headset again with simultaneous bluetooth then I think this headset would beat everything else wireless right now, especially for the price.
You earned my sub this review was incredible I watched the entire thing. Usually I look for shorter videos but you did it very well. And thank you for having time stamps I didn’t need them since I watched it all but it is great for your viewers.
Q: Like others asked, I'm curious if they fixed the background static noise? When searching for a wireless headset I initially bought these (the previous version) but the static background noise is extremely loud/horrible (if you have good hearing). Returned & replaced it with the nova pro wireless, which made me discover your channel for EQ's :). Those have other, lesser drawbacks for me, but there is no better alternative. Not happy with the software & the basestation. Dac functionality is useless witouth being able to control aux volume (to connect external speakers). & the dac now often resets itself on pc boot. & The plastic build scares me for longevity, especially since it costs the same as a good audiophile headset that would last 10+years.
You answered your own question. I am interested in Logitech which is why I'm here but Audiophile is the answer. Why are you still looking at gaming headsets? They are all junk. Go get a Beyerdynamics, Audiotechnica, or Sennheiser. I got a Beyerdynamics DT 700 pro, the 900 and 990 replacement. They are incredible, soundstage better than any "gaming" headset. Also got to remember the product came out 7 hours ago today, these early reviewers were sent the product by Logitech. Wait a week for some good reviews.

Great review, I would love for you to do an EQ video on this headset using something other than Logi software. Seems strange a 250 dollar headset has such a bad custom EQ.
Thank you for such a cohesive review and especially for not dragging on each sentence like so many reviewers . You speak fast like a New Yorker which I love … you get to the point right away . Thank you .
Also DTS:X in G Hub for the G Pro X 2 headset is completely broken it seems. Only the Front Left and Front Right channels are outputting sound. Very easy to test this in G Hub.

Fucking amazing work! 10/10 imo! Following the channel and sharing it! Congrats!
Do you find the headset worth purchasing if one plans to use the velour ear pads? I was curious if you ever found an eq that lifted the bass while using velour ear pads without ruining the sound overall
ive just purchased based on your review, simply the best in quality and fit and finish, even wearing glasses is comfortable, the sound is amazing and keeps up with 400 500 700 dollar gaming headsets, ive been using logitech for 25 years ive never had a dud for any type of product
This review made me buy the logitech pro x 2 and for me they are loud enough if i want to listen to music i just plug it in to the sound card with the cable and you can crank the headphones up really really loud like no joke without any distortion its just the wireless that is kinda low on volume for some reason. Thanks for the in depth review bro
@@keewei87 Using Creative AE-9 cause there is a switch on the box it comes with you can put the ohm on 32-150 cause the headphones use 38Ohm so they do get allot louder.
I managed to get dolby atmos to work on this headset. Sounds 100% better. And now that you posted all your FR response data I was able to dial these in to sound excellent. Even with the cloth pads I got it to sound similar to how it sounds with the leather but more open Soundstage. I also just wanna say since I started watching your channel almost 2 years ago I've learned a ton. I wouldn't have been able to EQ these to sound this good without your channel. Thanks GT 😎
How do you get Dolby atmos to work with Logitech ghub? The headphone shows up but can't be opened. You can't use the Logitech driver only the Microsoft driver
i wish more people would mention sound stage when they make a headset review.. how good is it on the X2 Pro? still deciding on the Logitech or Turtle Beach Stealth Pro.
I have the original pro wireless. I ended up downloading a program called "equalizer APO" which allowed me to add 5-10db to the output to fix the quiet headset problem. It works, but its a pain in the ass when windows updates. I have to re-add it again after some windows updates but once you set it up, you don't have to do it otherwise. Overall, doesn't seem like its worth upgrading from the original pro wireless. Thanks for the review! The pro x wireless is still the best headset I've ever owned. Very great sound quality, comfortable and stylish af! xD
I just got the Pro X2 today and I concur, it definitely has great low and mids but highs are awful. The fact that the software folks at Logitech didn't give us more EQ settings is absolutely ridiculous. That said, I installed the Steelseries Sonar and messing with the settings has made a huge difference, but it still needs a little more tuning. With the Pro X2 and Steelseries Sonar, could you do an EQ setting recommendation to balance everything out?
Thanks so much for the kind words! It's okay, I'm happy to see the channel growing. I just like helping people. 3 years ago I had 1500 subs so progress is progress!
I really like this headset but I have issues with it disconnecting and reconnecting a couple of times per hour. I've done a lot of troubleshooting, even got a new pair and still the same issue. Very sad.
Mic is awful on A30s so in my opinion that automatically disqualifies them unless you are using an external mic. If you are I think the A30s would be an interesting choice because you can EQ from an app
You mentioned on your video that this headset supports the PS5 3D audio. However on the Logitechs website it advertises wireless stereo only for consoles. Did you actually try these headphones on a PS5 to confirm this? If 3D audio is supported, how does it compare to the Inzone H9 or similar PS5 headsets?
Hey man, great review! I got a question: I'm looking for a headset that has both great sound quality for video editing & gaming and Bluetooth so it can connect to a MacBook. Would you recommend this Logitech headset, or any other headset?
I have no idea why all these companies are so hell bent on not having both bluetooth and 2.4 at the same time is beyond me. Stealth pro Nova pro Penrose 700 gen 2 even the LX 50 older headsets to a degree has that feature. New razor Blackshark Maxwell Kaira Pro Ps5 and countless others omit this feature and these arent cheap headsets. The penrose wasnt perfect but its still my favorite gaming headset and the sound overrides some of its short comings. Put some wicked cushions on them and u still have one of the best gaming headsets on the market period.
@gadgetryTech So I am down to the Logitech G Pro X2/Cloud 2 Wireless/Arctis Nova 7. Which of these would you choose for non competitive immersive games? Thanks in advance!
I guess I will be sticking with my g pro wireless headset. I was really hoping logitech would upgrade the mic a bit to get up there with the Corsair ones.
I want to like this headset for console! More Lightweight and comfortable than the Astros which were king in terms of comfort for me. Leather ear pads are too sticky/hot so the free cloth pads are very welcomed. Edit - EQ presets do not carry over to PS5/Console. A standardised flat stereo sound setting is used.
i got mine today i love em. the mic quality isn’t as bad because i got it set up through a go xlr mini but man i’m facing a problem right now with it picking up the game audio no matter what after i adjust the game volume, the mic threshold and noise gate.
Depends on if you can use Parametric EQ or not, among other features. Logi is great/possibly has the edge with the right EQ (PC only for max benefit with parametric EQ). Nova Pro has a ton more features and better EQ options for console + PC use IMO. Hopefully that helps!
I’m someone who loves my Astro a40tr’s and I’ve been with them for ages. Would this headset be a good alternative to it? Also just double check, so I can use this headset as a wired headset and it’s powered by the controller correct?
Do you not find the headphone stock to sound hollow and quiet. I got mine the other day and I was disappointed in how the audio didnt sound as rich as my razer kraken 7.1. I ended up having to enable dolby atmos through a tedious process. Just to get that richness in audio and loudness back.
Love that the lightspeed connection has such a long range. Is the bt range shorter? Does using lightspeed vs bt make a difference in reliability of the sound or the rate it runs down the charge? My current headset sounds great and is reliable but the bt connection has a short range and for me the noise cancelling is too much. I like being able to hear other noise in case a knock on the door or call on house phone so those fabric ear cups on the G Pro X2 seem perfect for me. Mine runs out of charge after 6 hours too.
There is no hiss in the microphone. If sidetone is above 55 and the mic is active, there is a faint hiss that slowly increases to a fairly loud hiss if the side tone is set to 100%. Otherwise if side tone is set to 50 or below, there is no hiss no matter what. I thought I said that in the review but I may have cut that part off in editing. Sorry!
@@GadgetryTech I don’t think about mic but when G Pro X 1st gen were turned on they were little noisy if nothing were playing and it was really annoying.
probably the best review ive seen went beyond jsut a review gave me ever ounce of info i was looking for. especially the driver tech. also.. i have the pro x 1 and i have about 8 EQ frequencies i cant mess with and i only saw 4? on this one
You've become my most reliable and entertaining reviewer. Thanks! As someone who games primarily on PS5 and doesn't play multiplayer (only single-player 3rd person adventures and rpgs), what would be your current go-to headset?
Thank you for this really great review and other reviews as well, they are just awesome! I'm thinking of buying these headsets since I want to get rid of my table mic that i got for a couple of years. I'm just sick of the arm always in front of me while gaming. My setup today is a pair of Beyerdynamics DT 770 pro and a blue yeti. My only disappointment is the mic from the Logitech headset, I would assume it was much better but its sad that it was this bad. I really hoped for more. My question is do you think that chaning the mic to a blue icepop would enhance the headset even more.. But also the price for it would be close to $300. I have also been looking at the razor blackshark v2 2023. What are your thoughts? It would be really cool if you could make a review of the blue icepop mic :D
S tier review, so comprehensive, covered everything I was trying to discover and more about the sidetone and profiles that other reviews only bushed over at best, has helped me decide to invest in these, keep up the good work!
@@1HiddenDay Hey, not yet, I hesitated after seeing some other reviews that said they werent great for competitive shooters, so have been doing more research on other models, but in the end ive decided I'm not really a hardcore pro FPSer like those guys so it doesnt really matter much to me as much as comfort and general sound quailty, plus I have other logitech gear so it fits in with having the logitech software as well, I plan now to pick them up in Januray sales just incase they come down in price, also a little gem I found out on some tech channel with prawn its name, is that you can swap the mic here with the 2023 razor one that everyone raves about and it still works including with the logitech software, so when Razor start selling that 2023 replacement mic im gonna get one for this, but as yet they dont and it has to be the 2023 version, not the 2020 version. Sorry I couldnt help more yet.
@@sonofsomerset1695 Ah i see, i picked up the arctis nova 7 and i don't know how to feel about them. I feel like all the features are lost on it as i need to have steelseries gg/sonar off for them to not sound muffled. I hoped the logitechs would be better for fps'es.
Great review! Two things - I'd have liked to have seen a comparison with the original Pro X and also with the Ice Cube mic... to see if that made a difference. The X2, basically, has the functionality that the original should have had: The bluetooth and aux connectivity. I feel that the original was let down badly by the lack of both - it precluded using it as a general headset for other applications... something its cheaper brother, the Pro, could do due to it being wired. I've only just found the original - but already I think I've found my new go-to headset - not least because it's kinder on my large head, but also because it's so well built. I think that the X2 may tempt me away though, when they come down in price. I'm in no rush.... I'm happy with my X until then.
I have a large head, always need to max out the extension just got the X2 it's very comfortable, enough that even if its a bit weak in other areas I could see wearing this one for longer periods of time.
@@hobito6836 hi bought the blackshark 2023 and i'm very happy. Very confi, long battery life. Sound is good, probably not the best but comfort was the main reason. Also mic is really good for that price
Does that means there's no real way to dial in how you want it? I'm not a big fan of the EQ compared to the Nova Pro Wireless that you helped me dial in. I can barely hear footsteps but hitmarkers hurt my ears. It just doesn't sound great. What else would you recommend cause I do like how music sounds but not certain games.
can you share please your gear and presets what you are using for record, im really in love record quality and sound stage. It sounds so clear and flawless.
I use the Sony FX3 camera with a decent lens. I film in SLOG3 then apply a Phantom LUT. Aperture Amaran soft boxes for lighting. Then i use an Audio-Technica AT897 shotgun mic with a small EQ adjustment in post production for my particular voice. Thanks for the kind words!
Less bass? I heard they have alot of BASS from everywhere else. I have blackshark v2 pro and there is very little bass. I have original g pro x which has more bass than v2 pro but still low bass and a little quiet.
Which one gets louder the NOVA pro wireless or the TB Stealth Pro ? Volume is a deciding factor for me, since I play loudness EQ, the gunfights are toned down a lot, and the foot steps are louder, but even with loudness EQ the footsteps aren’t designed to be near as loud as a gunshot, so it’s more like 85db on the logitech so I’d like how the other ones compare
The mic is really bad for the headset price target. Enabling blue voice improves the situation, but you can hear clearly that the sound is very processed...
i think you can connect the nintendo switch to the dongle with the 3.5mm jack, plug the dongle to the pc and boom you got pc and switch audio coming in from one device (that's what i do with the nova pro wireless, *with an aux cable* ). if only bt was simultaneous, then you could have 3 sources coming in.
@@BlastPKMN i haven't checked the price of pro x 2 but i'd recommend nova pro wireless, if it checks your other boxes. it has 2 usb inputs (only 1 active at the same time, you can switch back and forth) and +1 input with aux (to the dock, simultaneous) + 1 bt (also simultaneous) is quite nice.
@@onatgz I currently have a G Pro X headset and I really enjoy the build quality and comfort. Id prefer to stick to Logitech. The GPX Pro 2 Lightspeed is $250 I believe
@@BlastPKMN yeah i can respect that. sometimes tried and true is the best, even though there's a chance that you might be wrong. shit's expensive and sometimes it's better not to risk it for a potential gain, especially if it's a marginal one.
@@onatgz very true. I like to try different brands and I am not a very brand loyal person, but Logitech makes good stuff so if I do buy it and it doesn't impress me I may move into another brand
Oh man I don’t wanna end up getting the new razer v2 bc I don’t want another software. I just purchased Logitech pro x 1 last week. And I’m thinking of returning for a different headset
Can you tell me which wireless headsets have a 3.5 mm aux out on the headset itself? The arctis pro wireless had but but not the nova pro wireless, so I'm trying to find another solution. It's so I can share my sound while watching a movie
Can you please advise if the on board memory DAC works when I use this on PS5? Can’t seem to find an answer anywhere but I would assume that it lets you save an EQ for console/bluetooth use.
Is the sidetone loud enough? I like to hear myself just like I would without wearing a headset, I'm using Void Elite Wireless and it's sidetone is impeccable, I need something similar to it, I tried Nova Pro's but its sidetone turned out to be just terrible, any recommendation is very welcome!
I'll try to anwser everyone's question individually but also wanted sticky this. There is NO hiss in the microphone.

your reviews are by far the best and most detailed not sure how you don't get the same amount of attention as other reviewers.
Thanks so much for the kind words! It's okay, I'm happy to see the channel growing. I just like helping people. 3 years ago I had 1500 subs so progress is progress!
I really like this headset but I have issues with it disconnecting and reconnecting a couple of times per hour. I've done a lot of troubleshooting, even got a new pair and still the same issue. Very sad.
Hi Joe, at the 26:30 mark are you referring to the sound out of the box or the sound after being eq’d? Thanks
Hey there, wanted to ask if you‘d take these over the A30s for Gaming purely, fps for the most part.
Cheers
Mic is awful on A30s so in my opinion that automatically disqualifies them unless you are using an external mic. If you are I think the A30s would be an interesting choice because you can EQ from an app
How Are They Compared To The Nova 7? Please Answer
Always deliver the best reviews! Thank you!!
You mentioned on your video that this headset supports the PS5 3D audio. However on the Logitechs website it advertises wireless stereo only for consoles. Did you actually try these headphones on a PS5 to confirm this?
If 3D audio is supported, how does it compare to the Inzone H9 or similar PS5 headsets?
Hey man, great review! I got a question: I'm looking for a headset that has both great sound quality for video editing & gaming and Bluetooth so it can connect to a MacBook. Would you recommend this Logitech headset, or any other headset?
@GadgetryTech this or Cloud 3?
I have no idea why all these companies are so hell bent on not having both bluetooth and 2.4 at the same time is beyond me. Stealth pro Nova pro Penrose 700 gen 2 even the LX 50 older headsets to a degree has that feature. New razor Blackshark Maxwell Kaira Pro Ps5 and countless others omit this feature and these arent cheap headsets. The penrose wasnt perfect but its still my favorite gaming headset and the sound overrides some of its short comings. Put some wicked cushions on them and u still have one of the best gaming headsets on the market period.
@gadgetryTech So I am down to the Logitech G Pro X2/Cloud 2 Wireless/Arctis Nova 7. Which of these would you choose for non competitive immersive games? Thanks in advance!
Immersive I'd lean towards G Pro X2. The bass is amazing on them
@@GadgetryTech Thanks! Just the flat eq I assume?
Actually now using the Maxwell they are amazing and the h6 pro open back
would you do a comparison video w maxwell, stealth pro, nova pro
th-cam.com/video/K6i8m62aFCI/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=GadgetryTech
u would recommend it for ps5? I play warzone and footsteps are important for me
I guess I will be sticking with my g pro wireless headset. I was really hoping logitech would upgrade the mic a bit to get up there with the Corsair ones.
I want to like this headset for console! More Lightweight and comfortable than the Astros which were king in terms of comfort for me. Leather ear pads are too sticky/hot so the free cloth pads are very welcomed.
Edit - EQ presets do not carry over to PS5/Console. A standardised flat stereo sound setting is used.
i got mine today i love em. the mic quality isn’t as bad because i got it set up through a go xlr mini but man i’m facing a problem right now with it picking up the game audio no matter what after i adjust the game volume, the mic threshold and noise gate.
Hey GT, would you rather buy this for footsteps in shooters or the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless?
Depends on if you can use Parametric EQ or not, among other features. Logi is great/possibly has the edge with the right EQ (PC only for max benefit with parametric EQ). Nova Pro has a ton more features and better EQ options for console + PC use IMO. Hopefully that helps!
@@GadgetryTech Thanks that helps me alot!
Having a hard time deciding between this and the MMX 200. What has a better sound in your opinion?
awesome, informative and funny review, brother. thank you, liked and subscribed!
Imaging difference between these and the maxwells? Is it significant?
It feels like a lot of the shortcomings are software-based, and could be fixed. Hopefully, they do.
I’m someone who loves my Astro a40tr’s and I’ve been with them for ages. Would this headset be a good alternative to it? Also just double check, so I can use this headset as a wired headset and it’s powered by the controller correct?
The lack of Windows spatial audio (Sonic/Atmos/DTS:X) support is a dealbreaker. Logitech needs to fix this.
Do you not find the headphone stock to sound hollow and quiet. I got mine the other day and I was disappointed in how the audio didnt sound as rich as my razer kraken 7.1. I ended up having to enable dolby atmos through a tedious process. Just to get that richness in audio and loudness back.
this or the tb stealth pro?
Love that the lightspeed connection has such a long range. Is the bt range shorter? Does using lightspeed vs bt make a difference in reliability of the sound or the rate it runs down the charge?
My current headset sounds great and is reliable but the bt connection has a short range and for me the noise cancelling is too much. I like being able to hear other noise in case a knock on the door or call on house phone so those fabric ear cups on the G Pro X2 seem perfect for me. Mine runs out of charge after 6 hours too.
With 1st gen I had problems with static noise, is it solved in 2nd gen? Thank you.
There is no hiss in the microphone. If sidetone is above 55 and the mic is active, there is a faint hiss that slowly increases to a fairly loud hiss if the side tone is set to 100%. Otherwise if side tone is set to 50 or below, there is no hiss no matter what. I thought I said that in the review but I may have cut that part off in editing. Sorry!
@@GadgetryTech I don’t think about mic but when G Pro X 1st gen were turned on they were little noisy if nothing were playing and it was really annoying.
probably the best review ive seen went beyond jsut a review gave me ever ounce of info i was looking for. especially the driver tech. also.. i have the pro x 1 and i have about 8 EQ frequencies i cant mess with and i only saw 4? on this one
I’m confused, the original G Pro Headset gives me a 10 band EQ in G Hub if I press “Advanced EQ”. They GIMPED the eq for the updated headset?? Why??
My review software did not have that option so I couldn’t test it. Perhaps the public version may? I’ll update if anything changes
@@GadgetryTech I'd like to know this too, currently using the G pro X and can do the same thing
You've become my most reliable and entertaining reviewer. Thanks! As someone who games primarily on PS5 and doesn't play multiplayer (only single-player 3rd person adventures and rpgs), what would be your current go-to headset?
Thank you for this really great review and other reviews as well, they are just awesome!
I'm thinking of buying these headsets since I want to get rid of my table mic that i got for a couple of years. I'm just sick of the arm always in front of me while gaming. My setup today is a pair of Beyerdynamics DT 770 pro and a blue yeti. My only disappointment is the mic from the Logitech headset, I would assume it was much better but its sad that it was this bad. I really hoped for more.
My question is do you think that chaning the mic to a blue icepop would enhance the headset even more.. But also the price for it would be close to $300. I have also been looking at the razor blackshark v2 2023. What are your thoughts?
It would be really cool if you could make a review of the blue icepop mic :D
So a30s or this !!??
S tier review, so comprehensive, covered everything I was trying to discover and more about the sidetone and profiles that other reviews only bushed over at best, has helped me decide to invest in these, keep up the good work!
Did you end up getting this headset? If yes, how do you like it so far? Thanks!
@@1HiddenDay Hey, not yet, I hesitated after seeing some other reviews that said they werent great for competitive shooters, so have been doing more research on other models, but in the end ive decided I'm not really a hardcore pro FPSer like those guys so it doesnt really matter much to me as much as comfort and general sound quailty, plus I have other logitech gear so it fits in with having the logitech software as well, I plan now to pick them up in Januray sales just incase they come down in price, also a little gem I found out on some tech channel with prawn its name, is that you can swap the mic here with the 2023 razor one that everyone raves about and it still works including with the logitech software, so when Razor start selling that 2023 replacement mic im gonna get one for this, but as yet they dont and it has to be the 2023 version, not the 2020 version. Sorry I couldnt help more yet.
@@sonofsomerset1695 Ah i see, i picked up the arctis nova 7 and i don't know how to feel about them. I feel like all the features are lost on it as i need to have steelseries gg/sonar off for them to not sound muffled. I hoped the logitechs would be better for fps'es.
@@sonofsomerset1695 were you able to buy tge mic ? Was there an improvement in mic quality?
Is the Model one still FPS king?
What headset stand is in the review? Thank you!
Great review!
Two things - I'd have liked to have seen a comparison with the original Pro X and also with the Ice Cube mic... to see if that made a difference.
The X2, basically, has the functionality that the original should have had: The bluetooth and aux connectivity. I feel that the original was let down badly by the lack of both - it precluded using it as a general headset for other applications... something its cheaper brother, the Pro, could do due to it being wired.
I've only just found the original - but already I think I've found my new go-to headset - not least because it's kinder on my large head, but also because it's so well built. I think that the X2 may tempt me away though, when they come down in price. I'm in no rush.... I'm happy with my X until then.
I have a large head, always need to max out the extension just got the X2 it's very comfortable, enough that even if its a bit weak in other areas I could see wearing this one for longer periods of time.
hi, i'm unsure which to take. This one or the razer blackshark 2023?
hey which did you get? WHat are the results?
@@hobito6836 hi bought the blackshark 2023 and i'm very happy. Very confi, long battery life. Sound is good, probably not the best but comfort was the main reason. Also mic is really good for that price
Does the microphone work when the headset is connected via aux cable (without the dongle)?
Which do you prefer, this or the Razor BlackShark V2 pro?
Does the sidetone work well on PS5? And if so, is it loud enough?
Hi, can you make a video or write the EQ for this headset with wicked cousions earpads without cooling gel ? Thanks
Love your reviews! How does the LG compare to the competition? Have a maxwell myself but the comfort is an issue so looking at alternatives.
Surprised to see there is no comparison section while other reviews have it?
Does that means there's no real way to dial in how you want it? I'm not a big fan of the EQ compared to the Nova Pro Wireless that you helped me dial in. I can barely hear footsteps but hitmarkers hurt my ears. It just doesn't sound great. What else would you recommend cause I do like how music sounds but not certain games.
Would you choose these over the nova 7?
Whats better this headset or nova pros?
Subbed for respecting our time plus nice video.
can you share please your gear and presets what you are using for record, im really in love record quality and sound stage. It sounds so clear and flawless.
I use the Sony FX3 camera with a decent lens. I film in SLOG3 then apply a Phantom LUT. Aperture Amaran soft boxes for lighting. Then i use an Audio-Technica AT897 shotgun mic with a small EQ adjustment in post production for my particular voice. Thanks for the kind words!
@@GadgetryTech thank you so much
Less bass? I heard they have alot of BASS from everywhere else. I have blackshark v2 pro and there is very little bass. I have original g pro x which has more bass than v2 pro but still low bass and a little quiet.
Hey great review. For PS5 do you advise this or SS Arctic Nova 7P/X. I play mostly story-based games (Uncharted, Spiderman, RDR2, The Last of Us etc)
Which one gets louder the NOVA pro wireless or the TB Stealth Pro ? Volume is a deciding factor for me, since I play loudness EQ, the gunfights are toned down a lot, and the foot steps are louder, but even with loudness EQ the footsteps aren’t designed to be near as loud as a gunshot, so it’s more like 85db on the logitech so I’d like how the other ones compare
The mic is really bad for the headset price target.
Enabling blue voice improves the situation, but you can hear clearly that the sound is very processed...
It looks like you might be able to use the BLUE ICEPOP Mic they sell to replace the mic this comes with, perhaps it has better quality?
Does the X 2 has the hiss in the left earcup like the X 1 has?
i think you can connect the nintendo switch to the dongle with the 3.5mm jack, plug the dongle to the pc and boom you got pc and switch audio coming in from one device (that's what i do with the nova pro wireless, *with an aux cable* ). if only bt was simultaneous, then you could have 3 sources coming in.
This is the sole reason I'm considering this headset
@@BlastPKMN i haven't checked the price of pro x 2 but i'd recommend nova pro wireless, if it checks your other boxes. it has 2 usb inputs (only 1 active at the same time, you can switch back and forth) and +1 input with aux (to the dock, simultaneous) + 1 bt (also simultaneous) is quite nice.
@@onatgz I currently have a G Pro X headset and I really enjoy the build quality and comfort. Id prefer to stick to Logitech. The GPX Pro 2 Lightspeed is $250 I believe
@@BlastPKMN yeah i can respect that. sometimes tried and true is the best, even though there's a chance that you might be wrong. shit's expensive and sometimes it's better not to risk it for a potential gain, especially if it's a marginal one.
@@onatgz very true. I like to try different brands and I am not a very brand loyal person, but Logitech makes good stuff so if I do buy it and it doesn't impress me I may move into another brand
Undecided between this Logitech and the Stealth Pro for my PS5. Mostly playing GT7 and COD. Which one would you go for?
What did you end up getting?
@glebermoura5865
Oh man I don’t wanna end up getting the new razer v2 bc I don’t want another software. I just purchased Logitech pro x 1 last week. And I’m thinking of returning for a different headset
I do think the Razer blackshark V2 pro 2023 model improved vastly compared to the original compared to Logitech who only improved their driver.
Can you tell me which wireless headsets have a 3.5 mm aux out on the headset itself? The arctis pro wireless had but but not the nova pro wireless, so I'm trying to find another solution. It's so I can share my sound while watching a movie
Can you please advise if the on board memory DAC works when I use this on PS5? Can’t seem to find an answer anywhere but I would assume that it lets you save an EQ for console/bluetooth use.
Do you know if the microphone quality gets better when the headset is plugged ?
Incredible review yet again!
Thank you!
I'm totally confused. The specs say bluetooth 5.3 but you said it doesn't have multipoint bluetooth?
Is the sidetone loud enough? I like to hear myself just like I would without wearing a headset, I'm using Void Elite Wireless and it's sidetone is impeccable, I need something similar to it, I tried Nova Pro's but its sidetone turned out to be just terrible, any recommendation is very welcome!
