Notice: These headphones were replaced by Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless

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

0.0
Neutral Sound 

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.

Pros
  • Graphic EQ and presets.
  • Neutral bass and mid ranges.
Cons
  • Inconsistent audio delivery.
  • Poor soundstage.
0.0
Commute/Travel 

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.

Pros
  • 23-hour continuous battery life.
Cons
  • Poor noise isolation performance.
  • Not very portable.
0.0
Sports/Fitness 

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.

Pros
  • Comfortable fit.
Cons
  • Not very stable.
0.0
Office 

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.

Pros
  • 23-hour continuous battery life.
Cons
  • Poor noise isolation performance.
0.0
Wireless Gaming 

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.

Pros
  • Detachable boom microphone.
  • Low latency via proprietary wireless USB dongle.
  • Comfortable fit.
  • Compatible with PS4 and PC.
  • Customizable gaming software.
Cons
  • Not compatible with Xbox One.
0.0
Wired Gaming 

The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED can't play audio with a wired connection, so they aren't suitable for wired gaming.

0.0
Phone Calls 

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.

Pros
  • Detachable boom microphone.
  • Outstanding noise handling.
  • Adjustable microphone settings.
Cons
  • Poor noise isolation performance.

    Logitech G733 LIGHTSPEED Wireless

    Track

    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.

    HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless

    Track

    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.

    Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset

    Track

    The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset is a more versatile pair of headphones than the Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset. The LIGHTSPEED are wireless headphones, unlike the wired G Pro X. The LIGHTSPEED have a more neutral, slightly less bass-heavy default sound profile, and they have a better out-of-the-box microphone performance. That said, some users may prefer the wired design of the G Pro X, which is compatible with Xbox One, unlike the LIGHTSPEED. The G Pro X also has a better noise isolation performance, especially with voices and high-pitched ambient noise. 

    Razer BlackShark V2

    Track

    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.
