Our Verdict

Audeze Maxwell

Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless

The Audeze Maxwell are slightly better gaming headphones than the Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless. While both headsets have a premium design, the Audeze come in console-specific variants to suit your needs. Their overall microphone performance is also better, and they support multi-device pairing, which is handy if you want to game from your console and receive audio from your smartphone simultaneously. If you want to use the headphones more casually, they also support higher audio-quality Bluetooth codecs, such as LC3, LC3+, and LDAC. However, the Logitech are more comfortable, and their app offers more customization features.
