The Logitech G Pro is an above-average gaming headset with a casual design for most use cases. These headphones look almost identical to the Logitech G433 but with a slightly more polished design. They have a well-balanced sound, a comfortable fit, and an excellent boom mic. Unfortunately, they do not come with as many accessories as the G433 which makes them a bit less customizable and versatile. They also won't be the best headphones to block noise.

Our Verdict

0.0
Mixed Usage 

Mediocre for mixed usage but good for gaming and critical listening. Like the Logitech G433, the Logitech G Pro headset has a versatile design for more casual use than typical gaming headphones. They have a decent build quality and a well-balanced sound that should cater well to most music genres. Unfortunately, you can't customize it with the Logitech Gaming Software like the G433. On the upside, they have practically no latency since they are wired, which makes them a suitable option for gaming and watching movies but you will be limited by the range of their audio cable. Unfortunately, they won't be ideal for sports and for commuting since they're a bit unstable and have poor isolation.

Pros
  • Negligible latency.
  • Good sound and microphone quality.
  • Comfortable and more polished design.
Cons
  • Poor noise isolation.
  • High leakage.
  • No extra cable or pouch.
  • Bass delivery varies significantly across users. Sensitive to glasses.

Neutral Sound 

Above-average for neutral listening. They have a well-balanced sound quality with a decent amount of bass that won't drown out instruments and vocals. They're also comfortable to wear for extended listening sessions although they will make your ears a little warm after a couple of hours of continuous listening. Unfortunately, their treble range is a bit less consistent than that of the Logitech G433 and they do not have access to the Logitech gaming software so they won't be as customizable. On the upside, their sound quality should be good enough for gaming and neutral listening.

0.0
Commute/Travel 

Below-average headphones for traveling. They don't have any noise canceling feature but reduce nearby chatter a bit. They have decent breathability and good comfort, but they are a bit bulky and won't be comfortable for long flights.

0.0
Sports/Fitness 

Inadequate headphones for sports. They aren't tight enough to be stable for jogging, and they aren't wireless so the cable can get in the way during brisk movements. They are also a bit bulky and will hinder your movements in high-intensity workouts.

0.0
Office 

Mediocre headphones for an office. The Logitech G Pro gaming headset isn't noise cancelling, so most sounds will still travel through, but these headphones do reduce nearby chit-chat a bit. They leak, especially in the mid-range, so they will bother nearby neighbours if you are sharing a cubicle or an open work space.

0.0
Wireless Gaming 

The Logitech G Pro Headset are wired-only headphones that cannot be used for wireless gaming.

0.0
Wired Gaming 

Decent headphones for wired gaming. They don't have any latency and have decent breathability (if you switch to the second set of pads), so they won't get too hot after long play sessions. They have decent sound and an excellent microphone that is compatible with most gaming consoles, but they don't have the customization options that some gaming headphones have.

    Comparison picture

    The Logitech G Pro headset has a versatile casual design that makes them a lot more suitable to use outdoors than most gaming headsets. They have a good mic and a  well-balanced frequency response, like the Logitech G433, which also makes them a good choice for critical listening. They won't be as convenient as some of the wireless gaming headsets compared below, and they're not as customizable, but for their price, they deliver a solid gaming and critical listening performance. See our recommendations for the best PS4 headsets.

    Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset

    Track

    The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset are better gaming headphones than the Logitech G Pro Gaming Headset. The G Pro X are more comfortable and noticeably better built with higher-end materials. Their compatibility with the G HUB companion software also allows for a more customizable listening experience. However, the older G Pro have better mic recording quality out-of-the-box.

    Razer BlackShark V2

    Track

    The Logitech G Pro Gaming Headset are better headphones than the Razer BlackShark V2. The Logitech are better-built and have a more comfortable fit, which is ideal for longer gaming sessions. They also come with a more robust set of controls than the Razer, and their microphone has a better out-of-the-box performance. That being said, both headphones come with a USB Soundcard and companion software that allows you to customize the sound profile and the microphone performance to your liking.

    HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II

    Track

    The HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II are better overall gaming headphones than the Logitech G Pro Gaming Headset. They're more comfortable, feel much better built, and come with a USB sound card to activate channel mixing and surround sound options on PC and PS4. However, the Logitech's microphone performs better in quiet environments, the headphones reproduce audio very inconsistently across different users.

    HyperX Cloud Alpha

    Track

    The HyperX Cloud Alpha are better wired gaming headphones than the Logitech G Pro Gaming Headset. The Alpha are noticeably better-built headphones and their metal frame feels more durable than the plasticky G Pro. They're also more comfortable to wear for long gaming sessions, and they have a better-balanced sound profile. On the other hand, the recording quality of the mic on the G Pro is a lot better overall.
