Best features of the Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed headset • Best features of the L...
My favourite features of the Logitech G Pro X Lightspeed are:
- The swappable ear cushions included as standard (choices of comfort or passive noise cancellation)
- A solid headband design that includes pivot and tilt ear cups that can easily fit your head
- Both Bluetooth and wireless connectivity (though sadly not at the same time)
- 3.5mm connections on the headset AND on the wireless dongle, so you can wirelessly mic monitor and external mic or mix in another analogue source
- Good punchy bass and DTS Headphone X 2.0 as well as other satisfying sound profiles
- Logitech Blue Voice mic tech (for customised sound)
- Stylish design
- Decent battery life
The highlights of the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro include:
An impressive microphone
Lightweight headset design that makes it comfortable to wear for hours
Tuned EQ profiles for specific games as well as THX spatial audio
Earcups that block out a decent amount of noise without getting too hot
Decent battery life
Lowlights of the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro:
Lacks simultaneous dual connectivity (i.e. Bluetooth and wireless at the same time)
Earcups are scratchy

Your channel is too underrated. Thanks very much for this video, it helped me a lot ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thank you kindly. Glad I helped

[@bobwood4304]

Sorry to be thick. So, I could plug a 3.5mm in to the dongle and plug it in to any USB power source and it could act as a wireless transmitter for the source connected to the other end of the dongle's 3.5mm input? Or do I need to have the dongle plugged in to the PC and the PC on??

[@SneakyTurtle2.0]

With the 3.5mm connection on the dongle would that allow a connection to a Xbox controller and feed in audio from an Xbox ?

[@Amp_Edition]

Man that Gpro mic sounds so bad.

[@SD1282]

How do the Logitechs measure up to the Astro A50’s?

[@arkhamkillzone]

A50x is what I want to see. 50mm graphene driver vs 40mm. Hmmm

[@meddenn5017]

I WAS FACING A DILEMMA! Your video was decisive! I wasn't exactly your opinion, but everything you stated and showed in the video was a key factor in my decision to buy one of these two! Thank you! You've earned a new subscriber.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Glad to help

[@SynCoz3]

I am using BSv2 pro 2023 and I have to agree with you. It lack a bass punch and the richness of sound maybe due to openess of sound stage when gaming. EQ in synapse is needed to partly compensate that. Apart from sound quality, everthing else is amazing.

[@kalkuanchia6417]

Hi, have you had any problems with static noises with your bsv2 2023? I've been considering to buy it but I keep seeing static noise problems on reddit

[@xBaxinix]

Yes both have sidetone

@arthurmorgan8467 Hey man, I don't have that problem. Mine works as intended. I mostly play Fps game. I just change the EQ when I want to watch movies. 👌🏼🍻

[@katzicael]

Hey mate, do either make noise on your glasses farms? Nothing pisses me off more than a headset/headphones making noises on my glasses. I'm trying to decide which of these two I want to get myself right now. The Logitech's Mic is unforgivably bad, but I have a desk mic soooo can ignore that a bit.

hii i love ur reviews, thankyou! But i hv a question about the clamping force of both headsets, which one has a lighter clamping force?? I used EPOS h6pro and it was so heavy it hurts the top of my head, and it has a really tight clamping force it hurt my jaw so bad till i can't eat cause i couldn't open my mouth for days... i really need a new headset, pls help thankyou!

Logitech's headset definitely has better bass imo
