Technical data

Quality, design and features

Material quality and design

The material quality of the Logitech PRO X gaming headset leaves a solid impression. The high-quality plastic is pleasant to the touch, while the aluminum fork holds the headband and ear pads together. The imitation leather headband with the "PRO" imprint and the precise stitching detail convey a high-quality impression. The "G" aluminum attachments with the Logitech logo on the earcups also contribute to the overall impression. The use of these materials suggests a long service life.

Controls

The headset's controls are impressively user-friendly. The volume wheel enables convenient and precise control, while the mute button announces the mute function with an audible beep. The on/off button works smoothly and indicates the operating status by means of the coloring on the switch. The only disadvantage is the audible noise of the mute button due to the supporting spring.

Logitech Pro X Wireless review

Wearing comfort

Despite a weight of 370g, which could be perceived as heavier compared to other headsets, the Logitech PRO X gaming headset is very comfortable to wear. The ear pads adapt comfortably to the head. People who wear glasses do not have to worry about uncomfortable pressure. The headband can be adjusted in twelve different click-stops and the indentations on the fork make it easy to adjust the size. The horizontally inclined ear cups adapt to the shape of the head, but there is no vertical adjustment by turning the ear cups. Equipped with leatherette ear pads as standard, Logitech also offers a second pair of velour ear pads to optimize comfort in summer.

Sound quality

The sound quality of the Logitech PRO X gaming headset impresses with a driver that delivers a pleasant sound image and deep bass. Whether during relaxed writing sessions with lo-fi beats, during conversations in Discord with friends or when immersing yourself in the captivating world of Witcher 3 - the headphones offer representative sound for a wide range of applications.

Particularly impressive is the surround sound, which not only enables precise localization of characters and opponents, but also creates an impressive spatial sound backdrop for various music genres. However, it should be mentioned that the surround sound is only activated via the Logitech G Hub software. In addition to the surround function, this software also offers an equalizer that enables and saves individual sound settings.

The comprehensive audio quality of the Logitech PRO X gaming headset therefore meets the requirements of a wide range of usage scenarios - whether for immersion in virtual worlds, communicative gaming with friends or relaxed enjoyment of music.

Microphone

The detachable microphone of the Logitech PRO X gaming headset delivers impressive recording quality in our tests. Thanks to the BLUE VO!CE technology that can be activated in the Logitech G Hub, we have various fine-tuning options at our disposal. We have the option of using preset profiles or making and saving individual settings.

BLUE VO!CE helps to refine the sound quality of the microphone and offers a customizable recording solution. In our opinion, activating BLUE VO!CE adds depth and clarity to the recorded voice. It is interesting to note that without the BLUE VO!CE technology, we perceive the recorded voice as somewhat hollow.

The ability to access both preset and individually created profiles allows flexible adjustment of the microphone behavior to personal preferences or specific requirements. Our own recordings show the clear influence of the BLUE VO!CE technology on the sound quality of the microphone.

Software

The Logitech G Hub software offers an extensive range of acoustic settings to customize the listening experience. The customization options range from simple presets to detailed user-defined settings. Whether you're in an intense gaming moment or enjoying multimedia content, the Logitech Pro X Wireless can be customized to your personal preferences thanks to the G Hub.

The equalizer in the Logitech G Hub enables precise fine-tuning of the sound profiles. The variety of presets offers a wide range of audio adjustments for different genres and applications. Here you can also create your own equalizer settings to tailor the sound exactly to your liking.

Furthermore, the Logitech Pro X Wireless is supported by the DTS Headphone:X 2.0 functionality, which enables an impressive virtual surround sound experience. With the G Hub, you can adjust the intensity of the surround sound to create an immersive environment.

Another feature of the Logitech G Hub is the integration of Blue Vo!ce. This technology allows detailed customization of the microphone's sound profiles. With different filters and settings, we can optimize the voice quality for clear and professional communication.

Conclusion

The Logitech G Pro X Lightspeed impresses with an impressive combination of high-quality materials, appealing design and outstanding functions. The sound quality impresses with clear sound and deep bass, especially through the impressive surround sound. The detachable microphone with BLUE VO!CE technology enables precise adjustment and delivers impressive recording quality.

The Logitech G Hub software offers extensive customization options for audio and microphone, making the Logitech G Pro X Lightspeed Wireless a versatile and recommended choice for gaming, communication and multimedia applications. The only drawback is its compatibility: with only 2.4GHz and no Bluetooth or jack connection, the Logitech Pro X Wireless severely limits the connection options.

In terms of price-performance ratio, the headset for an RRP of €229.00 is of course an announcement, especially in comparison to the wired Logitech G Pro X Lightspeed with an RRP of €139.00. Fortunately, the wireless version is now in the price range of the wired RRP for for approx. 119 € on Amazon.de (Affiliate). For the price, you get a well-equipped headset with exceptional functionality.
