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.

The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset are better gaming headphones than the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless. While both headphones are comfortable, the Logitech headphones have a more robust companion software and a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer. They also have lower latency. Conversely, the HyperX are better built, and their battery life is significantly longer. Unfortunately, some users have reported that they have very high latency when using their companion app's features.
The Astro A50 Gen 4 are better headphones for gaming than the Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset. The Astro have a wireless dock and charging station that provides a low latency gaming experience. Their boom mic has a better recording quality, and their controls include channel mixing and an EQ preset cycle button. However, the Logitech have a longer continuous battery life and leak less audio, which might be better if you share your space.
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset are better than the Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless for wireless gaming. The G PRO X WIRELESS have a comfier fit, sturdier build quality, a more consistent audio delivery, and a better-performing boom microphone. They also offer longer battery life and charge faster. However, the G733 provide a more spacious listening experience and have a customizable RGB lighting scheme, which is a nice addition if you want your headphones to stand out.
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset and the Razer BlackShark V2 are gaming headphones with different strengths, and you may prefer either. The Logitech are wireless, better built, and much more comfortable. Their mic has a significantly better recording quality, and they offer low latency with PCs as well as PlayStation consoles, but they aren't compatible with Xbox consoles. On the other hand, the Razer are wired headphones that work with Xbox One and Xbox Series X consoles as well as PS4, PS5, and PCs. They also have a much more stable fit on your head.
Test Results
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have a very similar design to the Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset. They both have a metal frame with thick padding and big, padded ear cups with a metal silver accent on the outside. Their boom microphone is detachable, which is convenient if you want a more casual look. However, they only come in black.
The Logitech PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED are very comfortable gaming headphones. Unlike the Sony INZONE H9 Wireless, they come with two different sets of memory foam pads for the ear cups, so you can choose between the set covered by cloth and the set covered by leatherette. The cups are large and deep, so they should fit most ear sizes and shapes. They have a decent weight, so they may feel a bit fatiguing after a long gaming session. On the upside, the wide and comfortable headband helps distribute their weight well.
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have a simple, easy-to-use control scheme. There's an on/off switch, an infinite volume wheel, and a mic mute button. There's a beep when you mute and unmute the mic, and when you reach max volume. However, the infinite volume wheel doesn't have a notch at min or max volume, and it's easy to accidentally change the volume. Their controls are somewhat limited for gaming, but they still have the basics.
Like most gaming headphones, the Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED aren't very portable. They're fairly large and bulky, so they may not be ideal to bring on-the-go. That said, they're surprisingly compact when set to their smallest configuration.
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED come with a fabric pouch. It feels like it's made of neoprene, so it's thick and has a shock-absorbing property, which does a decent job protecting the headphones against light scratches. However, the pouch feels a bit cheap, it doesn't completely close with the strings, and it won't protect the headphones from falls or water exposure.
Update 11/04/2021: There have been several user reports that the hinges on their units have broken over time. Some users have reported breakage while under warranty, and some users have experienced this once they were out of warranty. At the moment, we're unable to test for long-term use in our test bench, and your feedback helps us to provide more information. As a result, we have decided to lower the 'Build Quality' score from '8.5' to '7.5' to reflect this widespread issue. If you have experienced this issue and the headphones are outside the manufacturer's warranty, some users have suggested that super glue works well. One of our colleagues also experienced a similar issue with their own headset within the first year of owning it and their solution was to use zip ties to hold the hinge in place. We have updated our review to reflect these changes.
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have a good build quality. They have aluminum forks and a steel headband, which feels solid and durable. The headband and the memory foam pads are covered in leatherette, and there's a second pair of cloth memory foam pads for the ear cups. The USB power cable feels thick. The mic also feels solid, and it can be detached for a casual look.
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED are fairly stable headphones. They should stay on your head while you're gaming, but more high-intensity movements can make them move around on your head, so they aren't ideal for working out. On the upside, these wireless headphones don't have a cable that could get snagged on nearby objects, which is nice. For a more stable pair of gaming headphones, check out the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 Wireless.

The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have a pretty neutral, well-balanced sound profile that makes them suitable for listening to a wide range of music genres. They have an extra punch and boom in the bass range, so which is great for fans of explosions and action-packed video games, but it isn't overwhelming. You can also adjust the sound profile using the graphic EQ and presets in the companion software.
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have a mediocre frequency response consistency. They have an inconsistent delivery in the bass and treble ranges, so depending on their fit, seal, and positioning on your head, they may sound different to different listeners.
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have excellent bass accuracy. They've got less overall bass than the Logitech G735 Wireless and are pretty well-balanced across the range. That said, there's a slight overemphasis in the mid and high-bass ranges that adds an extra punch and boom to action-packed scenes and explosions in your games.
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have amazing mid accuracy. The response throughout the range is flat and well-balanced, so vocals and lead instruments are clear and present in the mix. The bump in the high-mid adds a bit of harshness to the mix.
The Logitech PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have a decent treble accuracy. Low-treble is slightly overemphasized, so audio can sound a bit harsh. Sibilants are bright and present due to the balanced mid-treble.
The Logitech PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have decent peaks and dips performance. The peak in the mid and high-bass adds a boomy, punchy quality. The slight dip in the mid-range can push vocals and lead instruments to the back of the mix, while the peak in the high-mid and low-treble can make those same instruments sound a bit honky and harsh. Finally, the peak in the mid-treble makes sibilants like cymbals piercing.
The stereo imaging performance of the Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED is amazing. Weighted group delay falls below the audibility threshold, resulting in a tight bass and transparent treble. The L/R drivers of our unit are well-matched in amplitude, frequency, and phase response. As a result, objects are accurately placed and localized within the stereo field. However, these results are only valid for our unit and yours may perform differently.
The Logitech PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have a disappointing passive soundstage, which is common for closed-back gaming headphones. They don't have a very wide or natural-sounding soundstage, so audio seems like it's coming from inside your head rather than all around you.
The Logitech PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have a virtual surround feature. You need to download the G HUB companion software in order to use it. However, we don't currently test for this feature.
The Logitech PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have a good weighted harmonic distortion performance. There's a small peak in the high-treble range, but it shouldn't be too noticeable. The rest of its frequencies fall within good limits, resulting in clear and pure audio reproduction.
These are the settings we used to test the Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED. Our results are only valid when using these settings.
The Logitech PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have a poor noise isolation performance. They achieve no isolation in the bass range, so they don't block out bass-heavy sounds like bus and plane engines. They do a slightly better job blocking out sounds like voices and sharp noises like AC units, but it still may not be suitable for a noisy gaming tournament.
The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have a good leakage performance. Escaping audio falls below the noise floor of an average office and overall, they leak less sound than the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless.
The Logitech PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have a detachable boom microphone.
The boom microphone has a great recording quality. Your voice sounds natural, full-bodied, and clear. You can also adjust the microphone settings using the BLUE VO!CE technology via the G HUB companion app.
The boom microphone has an outstanding noise handling performance, partially thanks to the noise gate processor on the mic. Your teammates can understand you clearly, even if you're gaming in a noisy environment.
The boom mic has a noise gate that you can't turn off but can adjust in the app, which makes the results a bit better than expected. However, even if this mic didn't have a noise gate, it would mostly likely still perform well and would be able to separate speech from ambient noise in loud environments.
The Logitech PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have a great battery performance. Their continuous battery life of over 23 hours lasts longer than the Audeze Penrose Wireless and should be more than enough to get you through long gaming sessions. They turn off automatically after 30 minutes of inactivity, and you can even adjust the auto-off settings in the app, so you don't have to worry if you forget to turn them off. Unfortunately, they take around three hours to charge back up again.
The Logitech G HUB app is outstanding. You can adjust the sound profile to your liking using the graphic EQ and presets, and you can also enable surround sound. The BLUE VO!CE feature also allows you to customize the microphone settings to ensure that your teammates can hear you loud and clear. While we didn't encounter any software issues during testing, many users have reported various problems trying to use the Logitech G HUB software like startup issues, freezing, and connection issues with certain devices. If you have experienced this issue with Logitech G HUB and these headphones, please leave a comment in the discussions.
The Logitech PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED come with a USB-C to USB-A cable, which you can use to charge the headphones or connect them to the G HUB software on your PC. This cable can't be used to play audio. Unlike their successor, the Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless, they don't support an analog connection either.
Unlike the SteelSeries Arctis 9 Wireless and Corsair VIRTUOSO RGB Wireless XT, the Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED aren't Bluetooth compatible.
The Logitech PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have outstanding wireless connectivity via dongle. When using the USB dongle, they have a very low latency, which makes them suitable for watching videos or gaming.
