- Ok, so bear with me, because there's more to the differences between the original G Pro X and the wireless version than one being wired and one being wireless.
Honestly.

And the Hur Dur 6 Hungos, absolutely masterpiece
I also have both because I got the original G PRO X and was very excited when the wireless came out. Few things I noticed that I thought I should add:
1) The mics may look the same and they may fit both headsets, but they are not the same. The ones that came with the Wireless ones are far more sensitive. If you put the Wired ones on the Wireless headset, you will notice the difference and it will barely pick up any sound (however the inverse gives you a fantastic mic).
2) The microphone quality for the wireless is actually pretty appalling for its price tag, if compared to the wired versions. There is very noticeable compression (of course this is relative to wired - but still sound OK in the grand scheme of things). This doesn't just make you sound bad, it is also an issue if you use software to reduce background noise like RTX voice or KRISP. The loss in fidelity means that the AI is unable to differentiate voice from background noise. The wired version allowed me to use RTX voice at full noise suppression and I can't even do 10% on the wireless ones.
3) Whilst both boasts 50mm drivers, the Wireless ones actually sound better. This may have to do with the batteries within the Wireless headsets directly powering the drivers (rather than via a 3.5mm cable) which gives it a bit more clarity. it is minor but I have noticed sounds I did not hear before when on the wired ones.
4) The G Hub software for the Wired works fine but the Wireless ones are extremely buggy - I am hoping this gets fixed in a future update.
That said, the freedom of no cables is great, and so I will likely be sticking with the Wireless ones.
How is the microphone witch canceling background noise Is it good or is it bad? (Wired version)
@@wave6427 I spent about 8+ hours of gaming, calls, music on the wired pro X version: there's no ANC (active noise cancellation). When I played with the G hub, I've heard more backround noise than I expected to be honest. So the performance of the backround noise cancelation is disappointing when compared to even mediocre office headphones. When it comes to gaming, though (first person shooter games) different story - these are great.
Can you tell a difference in sound quality or have headphones finally made the way like wireless mice have?
I have the wired version and it works GREAT I had a couple of issues when I first bought it the mic was not working turns out you just have to plug it in another device then replug it on your pc and it works fine
@@17med72 I was wanting the wireless version...i am tired of wires. Was wondering if its the same or if wired is still a noticeable difference. I know the mice are not any different anymore...my GPRO Wireless I cant tell a diff from wired vs wireless AT ALL. So I am thinking wireless headsets are prob about the same now
Totally agree with the lack of compatibility with the wireless headset. The ability to use either Bluetooth or 3.5 jack would be a nice touch. Let’s hope they make another model with these features included. Purely based on the variety of connections possible with the wired ones, I think I’ll get those in future.
I love how thorough are your comparisons. The only thing I would have loved was a mic comparison (with and without blue voice) so we can see if there is more compression in the mic audio. Keep the great work.
That's fair, though I did that in the unboxing video but perhaps I should have included a sample in here.
Thanks you very much. This is the kind of video which are necessary ! Very useful ! But, do you notice a difference between them with a song in Flac version ? Very interested by the answer. Thanks you. (for example, cloud x II and the wireless version, well very bad results with flac with the wireless so it's really not the same headset).
I love the song in the background
I've tested both and while sound is subjective power is not. The wired headphones have more power definitely which means deeper ear cup rattling bass, especially when used with the DAC that comes with the headset. I tried using them without the DAC on just my phone and the sound quality wasn't as deep which is to be expected. I'm assuming if you have a smart DAC that can detect headphone impedance these will sound good on your system. Both the wired and wireless versions are crisp and clear at max volume, the wireless headset is not as loud or punchy as its wired counterpart which left me wanting.
I took two samples with the mics and the blue voice off and as everyone else has mentioned the wireless mic is not that great, the wired mic is great but you'll need to use the Logitech BLUE noise canceling software if you want to get rid of keyboard and mouse noise which brings the quality of the mic down to a similar but slightly better level than the wireless mic. In the end the mic quality is a toss up if you're using discord or streaming it wont matter. (If you're doing the latter you should be using an stand alone XLR mic anyway.)
If you don't care about wired v wireless but only care about sound and like more power/bass get the wired headset, if you don't care about bass get the wireless. Those are my thoughts.
But If I connect the wireless on my pc, does it change the sound quality ?
Guess what. I just bought my g pro x wireless after my g pro x wired gave out. Agreed with you less bass and less punchy. I'm definitely will sell mine to buy g pro and used it with my DAC g pro x.
Can't you use a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter to use the wired headset version on phone with USB-C?
Hello, I am interested in this product and I am especially focused on the microphone part, is there a difference in the quality of these? And in that case only for the microphone, which one would you recommend, wired or wireless?
I don't recall I'm afraid but if you watch the reviews you'll hear the mics
Is the sound noticeably different between the two, or can you barely tell a difference in sound?
Same drivers, same frequency response, barely any difference I'd say
The mic quality on the wireless one is noticeably worse and same with the sound quality but that’s just the cons of a wireless headset.
Do you know if I customized the eq and the mic settings from the software on the pc will it apply to the ps5 or not ?? And which one is better the wired or wireless for the ps5 ?? And thanks❤️❤️
6 months late, but better late than never...
No, it doesn't. Unlike Logitech's wireless mice, the G Pro X wireless does not have any onboard memory to save your customized settings on the device itself. It really is quite unfortunate, especially considering that it commands a $40 premium over the wired version.
Personally, I'd get the Wired version considering that its microphone quality is leagues better than the wireless. If you are looking for a headset that is a good allrounder that can work with both PC and Console, I'd get the Sennheiser Drop PC38X.
Nice review but there is only one thing who bother me, can the battery swaped ?
Would be unfortunate to spend that much money and not being able to swap once the battery die while cheaper headset offer the feature like the G533.
There's instructions showing how to remove it, so I think so, but I couldn't because I didn't have the right size screwdriver.
How is the microphone witch canceling background noise Is it good or is it bad? (Wired version)
Both block out a decent amount of external noise.
Do they sound the same though?
Can you tell a difference in sound quality or have headphones finally made the way like wireless mice have?
the sound quality should be exactly the same but the mic is actually a little worst on the wireless
@@someone-yw2qw I can live with that
@@GitSumGaming if you got it and the surround sound was muffled make sure to go to windows sound settings "speaker properties " > "advanced" and set the format to 32000 Hz, a lot of people think the surround sound on this headset is bad because of this bug but is actually good if you set this right
@@someone-yw2qw I havent got it yet still using my Sennhesier Game Ones. They are stereo. Still doing some research. But I would love to be able to go wireless on the headset but want to make sure the sound difference is for sure the exact same even when compared to the best wired headset
@@someone-yw2qw Thanks. I just did this, and I can notice a big difference
I know this is a long shot but I can’t figure out how to use the actual mic it won’t let me talk to my friends.
Hello, I had a logitech G933 headset, but it broke and logitech offered me to exchange the G pro X wired, or the G935 wireless, which one would be better to choose? Taking the opportunity to praise your work, excellent analysis!
I’d say g935, I’ve seen people saying the g933 is better than the g pro x and the 935 better than the 933, I also have the 933 and I love them, scared to try any other headset lol
Sorry for my lack of reply. I assume it's too late now. I'd go for the G Pro X wired tbh, much nicer headset, great sound, good connection options and much better looking than the G935. That's just my humble opinion of course.
Do they sound better than the astros
Can you buy replacement USB/bluetooth adapter for the wireless version incase you lose them?
x2
I bought the wireless one yesterday. Software for it seems really buggy. I'm considering returning it and swapping for wired version for better support, no stress for losing the dongle and multiple connection options. Which would you recommend? I only play on PC (for now). Is there any difference in sound/mic quality between the two? Is the built-in dac and the one on the wired of equal quality? Sorry for all the questions, and thank you in advance!
The wired version is fine, same/better quality sound and mic.
Can you use any of these with xbox and pc at the same time?
Wym
Does somebody knows if a can use the wireless one on console
Oh I thought I could use the wireless version on my phone... Does G pro x wireless have Bluetooth mod??
No
@@TheProvokedPrawn
Realy?
?Can I buy the wireless version and connect it to the iPhone or iPad directly with a USB A adapter
It will works or not?
I wonder it can connected into ps4 and nintendo switch.. Can you plz give me an answer?
Not the wireless no.
A touch of the mic sound would be nic. Good video nonetheless
Click to see the unboxing videos and you'll hear it ;)
I'm sorry, but I have a question.
I'm using these headphones with PS5 and my first voice gets cut off, for example.
I want to say, "There's an enemy here~"
"There's an enemy~" I want to see it.
I would appreciate it if you could let me know if anyone understands.Please.
Cheers for doing this. Was very helpful.
I went for the wired version.
Glad to be helpful. Hope you appreciated enough to subscribe 😁
@@TheProvokedPrawn certainly have. I like your style of review and am new to PC gaming.
Is there a difference in sound quality between logitech g pro and g pro x?
No the only thing is the microphone quality, which is a BIG difference. The wireless is much much worse than the wired. Hope that helped!
@@romanmenocal3713 do you mean the wireless g pro x is worse than the wired one ?
@@Andrew-yv7zr yeah that's what he said
Wired>
That's what I wanted know who cares bout the mic I just bought the Yeti one and I'm getting these wireless headsets next week
Bought me the headset today. Connection with my PC was simple everything worked fine until I realized that there is some kind of noise in the headset when it is turned on. The volume slider on the headset does not affect the noise. The noise is even there when the headset is not connected to a PC (the USB Receiver is not connected). Can this be a hardware malfunction or is this "background noise" normal for a wireless headset. My previous headset was a 20$ headset and does not have this background noise. I am really disappointed.
Wired or wireless? Have you updated the firmware? Is it noise from the mic?
@@TheProvokedPrawn it is the wireless version. The noise is in the headset itself and only hearable when no sound is played. The microphone works fine. It already tried updating the drivers and another PC.
@@colorfuldarkness8070 like a low white noise?
@@TheProvokedPrawn yes a low static noise which is always hearable when no sound is currently played. My previous headset was a 15 $ headset an does not have any noise at all. So I am really confused
@@colorfuldarkness8070 hey man mine just came today and I have the exact same issue, a really low white noise that's there as long as the headset is turned on, the dongle not even connected. So far I am actually getting used to it, but the fact that I'm conscious that it exists kind of annoys me.
I really like the headset overall and still don't know if that noise justifies a return for me. Did you keep yours? If you did, have you found any solutions or workarounds? Thanks in advance.
Found the wireless ones to have a low background static noise which I couldn't live with
Can you charge the wireless while using it?
Yes
My left side doesn't sound like my right, does anyone have the same problem? I tried different cables, no DAC and all combinations but it's the same, even with the phone ...
Basically my left side has less bass and volume (it's new, just got them)
caused by air pressure being pushed into the speakers. So avoid pumping air on to the speakers. If it is lowered, try pumping air into it to fix it. It's basically the cause and the fix for it.
Nice informations.. i will go back and use it instate of steelseries nova pro.
i think i will get the wireless one because i just like the freedom of not kicking your pc of the desk wenn you move back with your chair, but it really is stupid you can only use it when theres an usb port avaivable
Does anyone know if the wiwrless has better audio quality than wierd
Wired generally has better audio quality on most headsets. But it's negligible here from what I recall.
Amazing voice your hands look fine please review cloud alpha alpha s corsair mh751/752 Astro a40 a50 if you haven't done those I will check other reviews
I can help with two of those

The lure of wireless is strong but aren't the cups considerably thicker due to having the battery?
hmmm. You'd have to check the measurement specs on the official site. I didn't think to check such a thing, I seriously doubt it though, I certainly didn't notice a difference. So I'd imagine it's negligible.
@@TheProvokedPrawn wi-fi are thicker and 50grams more heavy
thanks for the video man very useful
Glad it helped. Hope you enjoyed enough to sub.
Think people come here not to see the physical difference between the two.. We want to HEAR the difference in mic. Cause everyone knows of the issue with wireless and mic quality.
Check the reviews then, I use the mic there.
@@TheProvokedPrawn you should do a comparrison between G pro wireless and the new G733. Focus on mic and long hour wearing them. And how you charge them? are there charging stands?
@@ptotheetother ok. I have a G733
@@TheProvokedPrawn Steelseries released Arctis 9 like 4 days ago as well. Could also be compared if you have it.
@@ptotheetother That's on the way too. As you can imagine, it might be a while. I'm busy!
Can anyone comment on the directional 7.1 sound and bass power of the two 50mm drivers? I'm coming from two 40mm woofers with 8 other 20mm or 30mm drivers, 10 in total in the true 7.1 Razer Tiamat V2's. I really want to fill out my Logitech setup but not sure about leaving the Razers for a fake 7.1 setup
Do you ever wonder why real headphones don't offer 7.1? Probably not. Enjoy the fluff.
Mic test??
Does this work on xbox?
I don't believe so
Get this right, instead of making a software to EQ the mic to make it sound decent, how about just making a mic that sounds decent to begin with 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
Does the wireless one work with mobile phones
no, I said that in the video. There's no way to connect it to a phone.
im here because of shroud i dont know if im paying an extra 100 for his logo or not lol
I wouldn't have thought it would give you any extra FPS or skills.
shrouds set is the same price as the default versions. You don’t pay anything extra for his logo it’s basically just to sell more to his community
BEWARE: the wireless version is MUCH quieter than the wired version. my wired headset broke and i "upgraded" to the wireless just to be very disappointed with how low the maximum sound can go compared to the wired version.
I dont see many people mention this HUGE difference. Id HIGHLY recommend going for the wired version, and its much cheaper. The wireless's only boon over the wired is its long battery life, and that its well..... wireless. If you can go with the wired; do it.
Is the difference very high or manageable? As I am planning to upgrade from g435 wireless as its volume is very low
