The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset are wired gaming headphones with a broad range of customization options. They're also very comfortable, well-built, and their boom mic offers a very good overall performance. Unfortunately, like most gaming headphones, they're quite bulky and don’t fare well in noisy environments. Their audio delivery can also vary drastically across different users, so your experience may vary.

Our Verdict

0.0
Neutral Sound 

The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset is decent for neutral sound. These over-ears have a pretty well-balanced sound profile, with a slightly overemphasized bass range that should emphasize the thump and rumble of in-game sound effects as well as EDM and hip-hop music, but without overwhelming dialogue or vocals and lead instruments. Their companion app also features an EQ that lets you fine-tune your listening experience. However, your experience may vary across separate re-seats, as their audio delivery is heavily dependent on their fit, seal, and positioning on your head.

Pros
  • Companion software features a broad range of configuration options.
Cons
  • Inconsistent audio delivery.
0.0
Commute/Travel 

The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset is poor for commuting, though this isn't its intended use case. These bulky over-ears don’t isolate against low-end noises like the rumble of bus engines. They are also very hard to carry around and don’t fold into a more compact format. On the upside, you can use their mobile-friendly cable to control your music with the in-line remote.

Pros
  • Sturdy-feeling, comfortable design.
  • Comes with a mobile-friendly audio cable.
Cons
  • Sub-par noise isolation.
  • Bulky construction.
  • No wireless connectivity options.
0.0
Sports/Fitness 

The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset is inadequate for sports and fitness, though this isn't its intended use case. These gaming headphones are quite bulky and trap a lot of heat inside their ear cups, which can make you sweat more when working out. They also sway around during intense physical activity and can fall from your head. Additionally, their audio cable can get hooked or stuck on something and yank them from your head.

Pros
  • Sturdy-feeling, comfortable design.
  • Comes with a mobile-friendly audio cable.
Cons
  • Bulky construction.
  • No wireless connectivity options.
  • Not stable enough for workouts.
  • Not particularly breathable.
0.0
Office 

The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset is mediocre for office use. While these headphones don’t do much to isolate you from lower-end frequencies, they do a pretty decent job blocking out work environment noises like ambient chatter and A/C system noise. Their wired connection also means you don’t have to worry about battery life, but it doesn’t offer the freedom of movement that comes with a wireless pair of headphones. On the upside, they are quite comfortable to wear and don’t leak too much audio, so listening to higher volumes shouldn’t disturb nearby colleagues.

Pros
  • Sturdy-feeling, comfortable design.
  • Low levels of audio leakage.
Cons
  • Sub-par noise isolation.
  • No wireless connectivity options.
0.0
Wireless Gaming 

The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset is a wired-only headset and can't be used on a wireless connection.

0.0
Wired Gaming 

The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset is good for wired gaming. These headphones are comfortable enough to wear throughout long gaming sessions. They have a well-balanced yet punchy sound profile and a microphone that delivers good recording quality while doing an amazing job of isolating speech from background noise. They are also compatible with the Logitech G HUB software which has multiple customization options, including the Blue Voice technology for their boom microphone.

Pros
  • Sturdy-feeling, comfortable design.
  • Companion software features a broad range of configuration options.
  • Impressive overall microphone performance.
Cons
  • Inconsistent audio delivery.
0.0
Phone Calls 

The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset is a satisfactory choice for phone calls. These headphones have a removable boom mic that makes your voice sound full-bodied and clear while doing an excellent job of filtering out background noise. However, their sub-par noise isolation capability can make it difficult to hear what's being said on a call if you're in a loud or crowded environment.

Pros
  • Impressive overall microphone performance.
Cons
  • Sub-par noise isolation.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset comes in one color variant: Black.

    These headphones also come in two other variants. One is called the Logitech Pro VR Headset For Oculus Quest 2, which is designed for use with the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset. The Pro VR come with a much shorter 1/8" TRRS cable, which helps reduce the chances of something snagging the headphones and pulling them off your head. Otherwise, we expect it to perform similarly to our model.

    The other variant is the Logitech G Pro X SE, which doesn't come with accessories like the carrying bag, mobile cable, or additional velour ear pads—you only get the standard leatherette ear pads. Since we ran our tests using the leatherette ear pads, we expect the SE variant to produce similar results to those listed in this review.

    If you encounter another variant of these headphones, please let us know in the comments, and we'll update our review.

    Popular Headphones Comparisons

    The Logitech Pro X are premium wired gaming headphones. They have a good build quality, a comfortable fit, and a myriad of customization options, including their Blue Voice technology feature that lets you fine-tune a lot of microphone settings. However, they don't deliver audio very consistently and don’t block out a lot of ambient noise.

    HyperX Cloud Alpha

    Track

    The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset is better than the HyperX Cloud Alpha. While both headphones are comfortable and have similarly-performing microphones, the Logitech have a dedicated cable for mobile use, which is useful for controlling your music on the go, and you can connect them to PC and PlayStation via wired USB. Both headphones sound fairly neutral by default, but only the Logitech has an app for customizing the sound to your liking. On the other hand, the HyperX's passive soundstage seems a bit wider, and they leak less audio.

    Razer BlackShark V2

    Track

    The Razer BlackShark V2 and the Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset are very similar headphones, and depending on your listening habits, you may prefer one over the other. Both are gaming-oriented headphones that are compatible with software that lets you adjust the sound, the microphone settings, and access virtual surround sound mode. However, the Logitech have a better build quality and a more comfortable over-ear fit. Their microphone also has a better performance out-of-the-box. On the other hand, the Razer are better for neutral sound, and they have a more stable on-ear fit.

    Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless

    Track

    The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset and the Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless have different strengths. The G733 LIGHTSPEED are better for wireless gaming as their boom mic has a better noise handling performance, support non-Bluetooth wireless, and have a slightly more immersive passive soundstage. However, the G Pro X are better for wired gaming. They're more comfortable and better built. Their boom microphone also does a better job of recording your voice, and they come with a wired USB connection.

    Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB Wireless XT

    Track

    The Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset are better wired gaming headphones than the Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB Wireless XT. The Logitech are more comfortable and have a more neutral default sound profile, which some users may prefer. However, the Corsair are more versatile as you can use them wired or wirelessly. Their boom mic has a better recording quality, and they support Bluetooth. They're also better built.
