The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED are the wireless version of the Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset. These gaming-oriented over-ears are compatible with Logitech's G HUB companion software, which lets you adjust the sound profile, change the microphone settings, and access virtual surround sound mode. Their detachable boom microphone makes your voice sound clear and natural, even in noisy environments. You can use them wirelessly with PC and PlayStation consoles, but they aren't compatible with Xbox consoles, unfortunately.
Our Verdict
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED are decent for neutral sound. Their default sound profile is fairly neutral with a bit of an overemphasized high-mid and low-treble, but they're still suitable for a wide variety of music genres. However, depending on their fit, positioning, and placement on your head, you may experience inconsistent bass and treble delivery. On the upside, you can adjust their sound profile to your liking using the companion software's graphic EQ and presets.
- Graphic EQ and presets.
- Neutral bass and mid ranges.
- Inconsistent audio delivery.
- Poor soundstage.
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED are sub-par for commute and travel. They achieve no isolation in the bass range, so they can't block out bass-heavy sounds like bus or plane engines. They don't block out voices or high-pitched sounds, either. While they're very comfortable, they have a bulky design and aren't very portable. On the upside, their over 23-hour continuous battery life can last through long plane rides.
- 23-hour continuous battery life.
- Poor noise isolation performance.
- Not very portable.
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED are mediocre for sports and fitness, though they're not designed for this purpose. While they're very comfortable, these bulky over-ears aren't very portable, so they may not fit easily into a small bag. They're stable enough for gaming, but they move around on your head after high-intensity movements, so they aren't ideal to use during your workout. As they can only be used with their USB dongle, you won't be able to stream music from your phone unless you use an adapter.
- Comfortable fit.
- Not very stable.
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED are fair for office use. They have a poor noise isolation performance, so you may hear background noise like office chatter. On the upside, these comfortable headphones have over 23 hours of continuous battery life, which should be more than enough to get you through your workday and your commute. They also don't leak a lot of noise, so you can enjoy your favorite tunes without bothering your coworkers.
- 23-hour continuous battery life.
- Poor noise isolation performance.
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED are very good for wireless gaming. Using proprietary wireless, they can connect with your PC or your PlayStation console with low latency. They're well-padded and have a comfortable over-ear fit and a detachable boom mic to help you stay connected to your teammates. Their default sound profile is neutral, and there's a little extra punch in the bass range that adds extra boom to action-packed scenes without overwhelming the mix. Unfortunately, these headphones aren't compatible with Xbox consoles.
- Detachable boom microphone.
- Low latency via proprietary wireless USB dongle.
- Comfortable fit.
- Compatible with PS4 and PC.
- Customizable gaming software.
- Not compatible with Xbox One.
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED can't play audio with a wired connection, so they aren't suitable for wired gaming.
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED are okay for phone calls. They come with a detachable boom microphone, and with its default settings, it makes your voice sound clear, natural, and full-bodied, even if you're calling from a noisy setting. You can even adjust the microphone settings using the BLUE VO!CE technology in their G HUB companion software, though we don't test for this. Unfortunately, they have poor noise isolation performance, so you may be distracted by background noise during your calls.
- Detachable boom microphone.
- Outstanding noise handling.
- Adjustable microphone settings.
- Poor noise isolation performance.
