That said, you get options in the software for mic quality too. Personally, I think it’s below par, but my experience for comparison is limited to the standalone that I’ve been using for years, so it’s probably unfair for me to judge. Regarding mic quality, it’s best to leave that to personal preference. Summarily, audio quality is great, and unless you know exactly what you’re doing, don’t touch the settings. It’s easy to get completely immersed and detached from everything else. That’s something to note if you’re in an environment where you need to be aware of what’s happening around you. Noise-canceling isn’t an advertised feature on the G Pro X, but it actually keeps out background noise really well. If that’s made someone rip their hair out in annoyance, I apologize, again. In-game, the sounds were pretty clear too. Listening to music is great – I listen to all types of music and they all sounded really nice. Audio & Mic QualityĪgain, pardon me for the lack of audiophile jargon here but, the sound here is pretty good on default settings. Maybe one day when I actually know what to change, I’ll get better results. I fiddled a bit more with other audio presets but they all just sounded unnatural so I stuck with the default. I left it on for about an hour but then I thought, “Why am I putting myself through this?” and turned it right off. Imagine listening to music with a bin on your head – that’s what it was like. The most adventurous I got with tweaking anything was just turning on the surround sound but it just made everything sound weird. The default settings here are just fine, too. To be honest, I was too lazy to go through everything and I’ve never been a big fan of fiddling with default settings unless I absolutely have to. The software for the headset is feature-filled. When I’m away from my desk but leaving my PC on, I just stick the USB-C cable in and leave the headset plugged till I get back to it, so I never run out of juice. The advertised battery life for the G Pro X is 20 hours on a single charge, which I think is okay. I caught a glimpse of my reflection and it does look a bit chunky sitting on my head, so prepare to look like a helicopter pilot when you have these on. I also started to feel the weight at some point, but not enough to be a real problem. Maybe a little warm, but nothing unexpected. The longest I wore this pair in one sitting was about 10 hours, and my ears did not get uncomfortable at any point. The flat side of the mic filter is the side that you speak into – you’ll notice the difference if you don’t.Īpart from audio performance, a key feature for me with headsets is the level of comfort I get while using them. Regarding the microphone itself, it is detachable, but it’s pretty snug in its port so it won’t fall out accidentally. There’s a USB-C type connection too, which I absolutely love to see. There’s the on/off switch, the volume slider, and the “mute mic” button. On the left side of the headset, you have all the important controls in one place. You can tell that a good portion of that price tag went to build quality in production, and I’m not even mad – it feels very premium. The cups are the same, they feel quite strong and reliable. I expect that this should improve durability, but don’t ask for a drop test because I just won’t do it. Moving on from the weight, the headband on the product feels really sturdy and flexible. Also, maybe this is the standard for this type of headset? I don’t have much to compare it to, so there’s that. The spec sheet says they weigh 370 grams, and my regular pair (the Sennheiser HD599s) only weigh 249.98 grams in comparison, so you can see where I’m coming from.Ĭonsidering the fact that Logitech had to fit wireless technology in there, I think it’s understandable that it’s reasonably heavier. The first thing that crossed my mind when I grabbed the G Pro X for the first time was, “Oh man, these are heavy!”.
