Logitech G Pro X 2 LIGHTSPEED Review - Is New Driver Tech Enough?

[@GadgetryTech]

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!

[@ItsMidnight_]

Is this better than the model one for FPS? You mentioned that model one was the best for FPS on a different video, Is this still the case?

[@DaBomb5309]

the yokes were always metal. they just swivel this time.

[@riekopo7638]

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.

[@DionHB]

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.

[@testkill5109]

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.

[@NorthernLaw_]

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! 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.

[@sabatashi]

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.

[@triton302]

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?

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

The loudness was great on both headsets, didn't had any problems with that (because it was mentioned in the video). So for Gaming Logitech has the better sound by far. For Music its clearly the Blackshark v2. However, the mic on the Logitech was so horribly bad, i felt pretty bad for my friends who didn't even understood me sometimes and it is just pitful. A real pain and thats why i kept the blackshark v2 pro 2023 over the Logitech Pro x v2 lightspeed. The Mic on the blackshark v2 pro 2023 is pretty damn good for a headset. I used to have a Rode NT1A and a Scarlet 2i2 3rd gen audio interface, paired with a headset but my audio interface died a few days ago and i decided i want to buy a wireless headset, because of the cable hell i was confronted with every day^^ I gotta admit, that i tested it only on a pc tho and didn't experience those 2 headsets on consoles.

Thanks for the review. However, is it possible that you include information on whether people report durability issues with the previous generations? Most reviews sorely lack information on how often a headset breaks and whether the company has any reasonable policy when it comes to returns. I am currently looking for a replacement for my CoolerMaster MH670, which despite having all the features I could want at that price range, breaks constantly. I am on my 3rd pair and I can't be bothered replacing it once again. Please consider doing some minor research into models/companies and providing more information in that regard. Thank you.

I have the 1st gen proX wireless, and the headband broke after about a year of using them 5x/week for about 3-4 hours each time. However, Logitech support was great and replaced them with a brand new set immediately. The experience was good enough that I’ll definitely be picking up the new gen when these go - which they are showing no signs of trouble after about another 1.5 years of heavy use.

Hey GT, would you rather buy this for footsteps in shooters or the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless?

[@GadgetryTech]

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!

[@rowanorlando4376]

Which do you prefer, this or the Razor BlackShark V2 pro?

[@elemnt360z]

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.

[@nunyabidness5835]

Imaging difference between these and the maxwells? Is it significant?

[@keponen331]

@GadgetryTech this or Cloud 3?

[@letalmike]

Great review,as always! How about Hyper X Cloud III? Do you plan to review those in the future?

[@DarioDAversa]

It feels like a lot of the shortcomings are software-based, and could be fixed. Hopefully, they do.

[@Adcerino]

Great review! Which one would you choose? Logitech G Pro X 2, Arctis Nova 7, or HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless? Don't take price into account. Thank you very much!
