![]() Voicing countless audio cues at once within a broad sound stage-this is its bread and butter, and it handles the task at hand capably enough that the overall package is still well worth considering. That figure tells you it’s intended to run unpowered, but what the heck-if you already have a preamp as part of your setup, it’s worth experimenting.ĭespite lacking a little oomph for music and movies, gaming is, predictably, where the G Pros sound best. ![]() ![]() I’ve heard anecdotal accounts of people greatly improving the sound quality by running the G Pros through a preamp, but at a 32 Ohm impedance it’s not immediately clear why that would be the case. It's not a headset I'd use for audio outside gaming. Even if that were the case, it still means the G Pro isn’t well suited to use on the go as a smartphone music companion, or for watching movies on the plane. Perhaps this toppy sound is a must-have among pro players that the rest of us simply can’t see the practicality of because we don’t game at that level. Its 40mm drivers are clear and precise, but they seem down on power and bass articulation compared with our absolute favourites from HyperX and Steelseries. The G Pro scores well on most of the basics, but those pieces don't matter much if you don't have great audio, and sadly that seems to elude the G Pro. Unless you have a rare condition that involves an unusual number of sweat glands on your ears, stick to the leatherette. When they’re fitted to the headset they totally break up the G Pro’s sleek, stealthy look like a pair of ‘black’ socks you’ve washed 300 times showing up for the off-grey they are against your black suit. The microsuede option is more breathable, but to be frank they look like they were left in someone’s pockets and accidentally put through the laundry. The leatherette isolates against external noise well, which is why it’s used on so many other gaming headsets (shout out to Kingston’s HyperX cans) and given the unusually large square earcup design on the G Pro, it feels like a must here. The ear pads come in two flavors: leatherette fitted out of the box, and an additional pair of microsuede pads. The headband itself isn’t padded with much memory foam, but this is a super-light headset at 9.14 oz (259 g) so more padding isn’t really required. Except for that, it’s all smooth black curves and reassuringly sturdy construction materials. At the top of the headband is a glossy ‘G’ logo, and there’s a discrete ‘Pro’ at the side. I much prefer the stealthy all-black design, broken only by the white Logitech logos on the earcups, to showier designs companies like Asus and Astro often opt for. That’s not to say the G Pro sacrifices any visual appeal for its simplicity. The mic does lag behind a bit, but if all you're doing is playing games like Death Stranding and Cyberpunk 2077, the pros definitely outweigh the cons.Features: additional pair of microsuede earpads, detachable mic In fact, the 7.1 surround on this headset might be the best implementation of the technology we've seen to date. However, the headset more than justifies its price through the solid build quality and audio fidelity. The Logitech G Pro X Wireless Lightspeed doesn't have much in the way of unique features, it's true. It is disappointing to see in such an expensive headset. It's not the end of the world, and Logitech includes its Blue Vo!ce software to help boost audio input quality, but it's something to be aware of, especially if this is going to be your primary microphone. The microphone is removable, which we love, but the sound is tinny – something we hear whether we're in a Google Hangouts meeting for work or in our Discord server just hanging out after work. However, things go downhill bit when it comes to the microphone.
