Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset Headphones Review

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. 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.

The Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have an amazing build quality. They have aluminum forks and a steel headband, which feels very 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 an excellent bass accuracy. They're pretty well-balanced across the range, though 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. All noise falls below the noise floor of an average office.

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.

Unlike the SteelSeries Arctis 9 Wireless, the Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED aren't Bluetooth compatible.

The Logitech PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED have great non-Bluetooth wireless connectivity. When using the USB dongle, they have a very low latency, which makes them suitable for watching videos or gaming.

Update 01/04/2020: We've updated the Length and Connection test results to better reflect that these headphones can't be used wired. The scoring of this box hasn't changed.

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.
