Incredible review!!! Thank you so much for going into so much detail in regards to the frequencies. That’s so much more important than they sound good, or bad, and loud and soft.
Yes!!! Thank you!! The low sound was such an issue, this fixed it and I've been looking around for an answer everywhere! Thank you so much, I almost returned them but was dreading it because I liked everything else about them. Thank you again, I'm keeping them now!
Great video my Man! In depth, very thorough and informative. Yours is probably the 6th video I watch aimed at the GPro X and this is at the top. I also heard about the issue on the cords breaking after a sort time of use but that comes down to factory error and that's always up to chance. I hope mine wont break and It will serve me well for years. Thanks again for the review and keep up the hustle! Subbed!
Great review! Jumped the gun on the wired version when it went on sale for $129 CAN. I should have done some more research, this sounds like a real winner!
I have used Astros for a LOOOOOOOONG time. I still have a gen 2 Mixamp Pro TR and a set of A40's. That being said, I just went through a terrible experience with their "support". They have switched over to an email only system. So, if your headset isn't working, you will wait 2 days for a response. The resource that got my ticket put in troubleshooting steps for A50's but I have A40's so there is another day. Seemed like he was just copying and pasting stuff for recommendation without actually reading my questions/response. After his 3rd response he gave up. Basically said he had exhausted all steps, the headset was out of warranty and here is a link to buy a new one. No loyalty program, no offer for a % off, no suggestions to rollback drivers, nothing. If this would have been a better experience I would have stuck with Astro and ordered the A50's Funny enough I think Astro is owned by Logitech now. So in a round about way they are still getting my money as I just ordered this G Pro X wireless headset.
@@jesusmaria2447 Cant really say that. I only used wireless ones. Depends if you dont mind wires on it. I really dont like them so i went wireless. i think there isnt much difference nowadays between wireless and wired :)
I have a pair of LucidSound LS15X off your recommendation. I haven't regreted that one bit either. You're one of the only ones who really realize how good of a sound they put out. That being said, I'm switching to PC gaming, from my xbox. The LS15X's work on my PC, but I lost Game/ Chat mix capabilities. Still amazing sound, but here in lies my question: Are these comparable sound-wise to the LS15X's? My A40's aren't, neither are my SS 7X's. I want to buy a PC gaming headset to get the chat/game function back, but I'm nervous I'll be in trial and error all over again, especially since the LS15X's were so good. If not these, what else? Great review again btw. Your channel is supper underrated, actually your ear is!
Great review! I have the A50s and like you said they have become a lot worse without the optical port. Did you test these on PS4/PS5? I don’t think the EQ will stick when moving the dongle to PlayStation but I figured I’d ask. Also how is the seal with the cloth pads? I hate not being able to hear myself talk. Thanks.
The seal isn't quite as good but the velour fabric is super comfy. They get warmer over time though so it depends on how hot your room is too. These work extremely well on the PS5. I didn't really mess with the EQ for PS5 much but the sound was excellent and mic quality was one of the best as well.
Thanks, Joe. Great review. Not a gamer but looking for a good wireless headset that won't break my bank - with good mike audio. However... real question... what is your mike & audio setup? What a great warm audio sound you have on your YT track. I know the good voice does much of the work, but there's such excellent sound quality here, it stands out from the sea of tech-videos. Have you done any YTs about your setup? I'd me most interested to know the full setup, sure others will too. Really impressive, and a terrific presentation style. 👌 Cheers and all the best
@@GadgetryTech I think the sample rate is a big thing. current top search review sounds like absolute garbage, but someone pointed out that he may have been running at 18k.
Not sure if they did that intentionally or not but if I modify any input or output signal I’ll always disclose it. Sorry for the confusion and yes I agree sample rate is very important.
great review :) i bought it 1/19/2021 and was very carefull with it but it broke out of no where when i woke up and turned it on today, it connects but theres no sound, i do have warranty tho so im getting it repaired soon.
@@Pedruchoa i dont know much about the corsairs so i reccomend to just watch reviews on youtube but the Logitech Pro X Wireless is for sure a great buy, everything is great about them, theyre super comfortable, the audio is really full and theres some great bass, surround sound is super precise, i could pinpoint where my enemies were on siege so it would be good for siege yeah :) mic quality is good for a wireless headset, connectivity is great aswell, no flaws really.
Bought these headphones about a year ago and overall, I love them. The only issue I have ever had was the lack of footstep tracking while in FPS games. Other gaming audio was great but footsteps were horrible. I watched some of your other videos and found GG Sonar from SteelSeries which works with this headset and was able to improve footstep audio tremendously. I have the wired version and the EQ is just 5 bands and is basically useless for tuning. For the price though, I am pretty happy with them now, just wish the GHub software was as good as the GG Sonar from SteelSeries for controlling footstep audio.
thanks so much for that program i had this headset for a year and i was very desapointed at first when i bought it i got used it but decided to search more why my hyperx cloud was louder
Thanks for the review! I'm currently looking at wireless headsets for PC. I'm curious if you've used a Logitech G935 and would be able to give a comparison. From what I can tell they seem to have a lot of the same components mostly just different style, but I'm unsure. Any thoughts?
From what I read they are indeed similar. I can't say first hand what the G935 sounds like but based on reviews it seems like a really solid headset. The Pro X wireless has been my favorite wireless PC headset I've used/tested yet. Hopefully that helps!
i think the surround sound is perfectly fine, i used to have a razer headset that had good ass surround sound and this ones better, ur ears might be broken dawg. you say theres a slight hiss that happens at all times too but i dont get that with mine lmfao.
Turns out it's a sample rate issue. If it defaults to the wrong sample rate and bit depth, DTS mode distorts heavily. I was experiencing this issue. Changing it solved the problem where distortion and odd reverbs were gone.
what kind of wireless headset do you recomend? ive been thinking between hyperX cloud two wireless, steelseries artics pro wireless and logitech g pro x wireless
I'm using these headphones but with Dolby Atmos instead of the logitech software. It works fine and sounds better imo. Can you suggest the best EQ tuning for these pro z's for gaming in Atmos? Or should I just copy the same eq settings from the GHUB fps preset eq? Thanks
Hi, the similar question here. Does the PC software upload the settings to the headset or not? I would like to adjust the mic to the best possible settings on my private computer, then use the headset on my company laptop, because I cannot install any custom software on it. @GadgetryTech Can you tell us?
Are there any headsets that do a good job with simulated surround sound? Honestly they all seem bad, but I guess the manufacturers feel like they have to have it on the box or it will seem like their products lack features. Anyway, nice review. You take a deeper dive than most tech channels out there. I was also kind of disappointed in the mic quality. I feel like if you're going to go to the trouble of getting Blue on board and marketing that then it should be like streamer/podcast level but it really doesn't sound any better than anything else out there.
It turns out Blue never made the mic, they only licensed the software. It explains why the mic sounds similar to other Logitech headsets and isn't a class leading headset mic. Most gaming headsets do better in stereo mode, but Atmos and DTS can help (DTS requires a special sample rate setting for it to work). The best wireless headset mic I've heard is the Stealth 700 Gen 2 from Turtle Beach.
That equalizer apo app (forgot name but he has used it a lot) when you plug this in and go to that app it asks if you want to use it with the headset. Just click use with headset and up the gain level and this headset will get loud
Did you ever experience issues with your own voice crackling / distorting with sidetone when speaking at a normal level? I've seen a few others experience a similar issue online but based on the low amount of complaints about it I could find online it may not be common. It was unbearable for me out of the box and I've been working diligently to troubleshoot it. I've gotten it to a bearable (albeit not perfect) level, but I'm starting to think I had a faulty unit out of the box.
I'm using this headset on my PS4. I haven't downloaded the software for it yet because I just got the headset today. After a quick trial run I have one complaint, I cannot hear myself when I talk into the mic. If I download the software and adjust the sidetone will it hold over to the PS4 or is that only for PC purposes? I think I might've made a mistake buying this headset. Which sucks because it sounds great.
hey i know this comment is a year later but ive been looking up many thing and this headset is just really quiet. any suggestions? i tried changing it from dvd to fm and all of the software controls
These unfortunately don't get as loud as some others. If you install Equalizer APO + PEACE addon, you can boost the gain slightly and it should give you a little bit of the extra volume you're looking for. Good luck!
I seem to be missing the mic configs on the software. Reset the headset and reinstalled the software. No change. Any thoughts? I see other people have had this issue as well, but I've not come across any solutions.
Hello, I just bought this headset and when I open the G Hub (I have an iMac), I don't see a tab for either the equalizer or the surround sound. Is this just a difference between a Windows and an IOS computer?
I have the exact same issue, i have looked everywhere and cant find a solution. And btw i think the sound is really bad, flat bass, it sounds like theres something holding back the sound/something in between the speaker and your ear.
What do you reccomand logitech g pro x, blackshark v2 or artics nova 3 or some others? I mainly play single player games, casually fps multiplayer games. Should be also good for music and movies. Thank you.
I don't understand the part about dts. English is not my main leanguage so I might not fully understand what did you said. I saw that you disabled surround. Don't you recommend it? I mainly wanted to buy those for surround feature to locate enemies in fps games more easly. If that's what it is then what surround headphones do you recommend istead of those?
I really don’t know if I want to buy this or the cloud 2 wireless, I already have used the cloud 2 wired for two years and they’re super amazing and also have the alpha S, I want a new wireless headset so what should I buy?
Cloud 2’s are a way better deal and the better option for competitive gaming. If your looking for a new experience , pro x is the way to go ! Hope this helps
Great review, very informative! I've seen your comment about the headset performing well on the PS5, but I wanted to ask whether sidetone works (on the PS5 that is).
Hey man I bought the headset recently... Have you tried setting your advanced speaker properties to 16 bit, 32000 Hz (FM Radio Quality) I believe that fixes the surround sound problem that you're talking about. I am no audiophile I am wondering what difference in Quality does it do? I am a competitive guy when it comes to CS:GO I prefer losing that quality for the surround sound advantage but I don't notice any difference anyway. I wish I know what Audio settings does S1mple use since he uses these headset as well...
You’re right and yes it does make a difference. It’s unfortunate they make you downgrade the sample rate to use virtual sound processing but that is indeed the fix! I discovered that fix thanks to other comments and tweaking it in the past but unfortunately that was after I filmed this review. Thanks for mentioning it and have a good one!
@@GadgetryTech What do you think is best for gaming (performance wise, footsteps, direction and other things) since quality doesn't matter that much there and normal people won't notice the difference DTS 16 bit FM or surround off? I think Logitech g hub should mention in a note or have their software automatically set the rates if a certain technology needs a different standard rate to be implemented, a lot of people return their headsets from this lmao! sorry for asking again but I am always lost when I change headsets I wish I can understand audio graphs and set my own settings without wasting a week on every new headset...
For gaming you won't experience a massive difference in bit rates, but I would recommend higher bit rates with surround disabled for music listening. To me some games sounded better with DTS on or off, so your experience may differ. I spend much more time tweaking the EQ settings more than messing with virtual sound.
Does the sidetone really work on this as on the razer blackshark you can only hear your voice if you crank the volume all the way up. I like to use my headset for work also so sidetone is important to me.
Things people should know .G hub has to be open .Volume is to low . lets to much outside noise in actually works like a hearing aid outside noise is louder with headset on then off . Audio does not hold a candle to audio technica ath50 for pin pointing locations. but great mic though . Gave mine to a family member not satisfied .
Any white noise? Returned mine and there is a big reddit channel where everyone has a big issue with a static noise appearing as soon as the device is turned on (Even if not connected)
Equalizer APO & Peace don't work right with the Logitech G PRO X Wireless. When I install all of that and setup just a +6 gain, I lose any sound in games like PUBG if someone is coming up from behind me. It also makes my mic sound like trash. When I uninstall both EQ APO + Pease, my mic sounds great, I get back the simulated surround of someone being behind me in games... but I just don't get the boosted volume. I tried changing the sound channel setup to "stereo" rather than the default 7.1... but no luck. I will have to seek out other solutions for upping the preamp that ONLY does the preamp without messing everything else up.
Im deciding between these and the A50. Most important thing I care about is latency with audio. According to RTings this has 43 ms and the A50 has 10 ms. Do you notice any delay with G Pro X Wireless? Do you think I would notice less of a delay with the A50? Here in Canada the A50 is 400 whereas the G Pro X Wireless is 250 and I don’t want to spend 150 more if I dont need to.
delay is negliable, I have these and have also used wired and I haven't noticed any delay in audio. It would be awful if it had a noticeable delay. My only complaint with my pair is battery life, I have to charge them pretty often but that may just be the case with all wireless gaming headsets.
Astro A40 TR's with the mixamp pro are coming in at the same price point right now. Which would you rather have for competitive gaming, these or Astros?
Got these and returned them the next day. They don't compare at all to the Corsair HS60 Pro's that are 1/3rd the price. I've tried 7 different headsets now and keep going back to my hs60's
this headset has a few complaints about its clamping force, it hurts my head if its on too long and with it not being open back that can be a pain too just a heads up to anyone looking to get it
My truth about them. Coming from the wired version, Logitech G Pro X, I have noted the following: The build quality doesn't feel as premium as the wired version, the wireless feels more clumsy. The sounds... Oh boy, the sound doesn't even compare. The wired is way superior. I was expected the sound to be at least the same but I came to realize that the wireless output is about half of the wired version. It's true you have way more bands to customize the EQ on the wireless but you're never able to achieve something comparable with the wired version. The Logitech DTS is pure garbage. You can substitute it with DTS Sound Unbound but in order to do that, you'll have to uninstall Logitech drivers and replaced them with some generic audio driver. This means you lose all of the G Hub perks. (if you can call them perks) The microphone is ok, though my friends notice a downgrade while using it. (coming from the wired version). Overall, I would suggest against this pair of headsets, unless you really want something wireless that looks alike G PRO.
Just watching and scrolling. I have the G Pro Wired, if they do too, it's that. I had this issue finding my eq's and watching wireless videos instead. Sure this is solved, hope it helps someone!
@@GadgetryTech Jesus! Thank you so much for the fast response! I'm debating between this versus the schitt hel 2 you reviewed + some HD 560s. Cost wise leans one direction, not sure how much of a differnece the footstep imaging will make, but i'm sure the wired setup mentioned is much better.
@@bens9450 no problem. So the HD 560s has no mic which makes the HEL2 somewhat useless for what you’re paying for. Are you adding a boom mic or something else? Are you playing on PC or console? Are you using a controller or plugging headphones directly to PC?
@@GadgetryTech Sorry I should have specified! I play on PC (valorant, csgo, apex, etc). I have a standalone mic I would use regardless. Really just determining if the HD 560s + dac/amp is that much better than the convenience of the Logi wireless
@@bens9450 Logi is definitely more convenient for sure! If you don't need a mic, going the wired route would certainly sound better. A nice middle ground is the Drop PC38X or EPOS H6PRO and either use your built in sound card or a good middle ground card like the EPOS GSX1000 or Creative G6. Just something to consider!
I bought these headphones in general for gaming, but especially for PUBG, and I almost screwed up! middle and high tones are well expressed, but low tones are a disaster! for example, I can barely hear the opponent's footsteps, as well as everything near me, what is happening! If anyone has any advice on how to help I would appreciate it!
I don't know how you used Equalizer APO the clipping is insane even with just +5 DB boost it ends up being lower than default when using it during gaming.If u don't enable prevent clipping you hear half the gunfire the other half gets cut by the software..
Let me offer to you what worked for me with no distorting of audio or adding gain at the preamp level. Hope this will help if you still have the headset. 1. Completely uninstall both applications and remove all of their configs. (Equalizer APO and the add-on, if installed) 2. Reboot just to be safe. 3. Install ONLY the Equalizer APO. When going through the setup, be sure to select that you want to use it on the G Pro X Wireless, and that it's set as the default audio device. 4. Launch a game that you were having low audio issues in and see if it sounds significantly louder. Those are the steps that worked for me. Seems like just installing Equalizer APO for the headset causes it to sound the way that it should out of the box, not thanks to Logitech. None of your EQ settings or anything from the G Hub app will be impacted, and no functionality is lost, which is absolutely wonderful. Prior to me doing this, I would have volume at 100% in RDR2, and it was the equivalent of any other headset I've used set to about 40%. After, running at 90% is uncomfortable for me when there are gunshots. 70% is about where I like for it to be if gaming causally, 80% is perfect for when I want it loud lol. I hope this helps you!
Idk if I got a bad one or what, but I thought the sound quality was like the definition of mediocre and literally every friend said my mic was worse than my original mic (amazon desk hook mic for like $60). It pressurized tf outta my head after like every 30 minutes of gaming. Personally wouldn't recommend. My friend's Arctis 5's felt better and that's just sad.
Not good build quality, sorry - the plastic joining the ear cups to the headset will break after around 12 - 18 months (twice now), and I do not treat them particularly roughly - this could have been easily fixed by Logitech using something other than plastic to hold it together. Feels like a deliberate flaw given how easy it is to fix. Not recommended for quality and use reasons (too many bugs with too many games).
A50 Gen 4 has a better mic but unless you need the extra features of the base station the Pro X is a better value. The Pro X does not work on Xbox if that’s an issue for you.
@@GadgetryTech Thank you for the reply! Great video. I have the gen 4 astro a50 but I find it hurts the top of my head after a bit. Thought maybe the Pro X may be a bit comfier.
@@erikjoyner7767 you bet! The Pro X was a little. It more comfortable for me between the two but I didn’t experience the same discomfort you had mentioned. It’s been a while since I’ve used them though so perhaps I forgot!

Honestly they all seem bad, but I guess the manufacturers feel like they have to have it on the box or it will seem like their products lack features. Anyway, nice review. You take a deeper dive than most tech channels out there. I was also kind of disappointed in the mic quality. I feel like if you're going to go to the trouble of getting Blue on board and marketing that then it should be like streamer/podcast level but it really doesn't sound any better than anything else out there.
It turns out Blue never made the mic, they only licensed the software. It explains why the mic sounds similar to other Logitech headsets and isn't a class leading headset mic. Most gaming headsets do better in stereo mode, but Atmos and DTS can help (DTS requires a special sample rate setting for it to work). The best wireless headset mic I've heard is the Stealth 700 Gen 2 from Turtle Beach.
That equalizer apo app (forgot name but he has used it a lot) when you plug this in and go to that app it asks if you want to use it with the headset. Just click use with headset and up the gain level and this headset will get loud
I like your cap - where have you bought it? :) thanks
Thanks. I actually bought it at DEFCON in Vegas a couple years ago
Did you try the hyper x alpha s? if so do you think the g pro x have a better mid range?
Did you ever experience issues with your own voice crackling / distorting with sidetone when speaking at a normal level? I've seen a few others experience a similar issue online but based on the low amount of complaints about it I could find online it may not be common. It was unbearable for me out of the box and I've been working diligently to troubleshoot it. I've gotten it to a bearable (albeit not perfect) level, but I'm starting to think I had a faulty unit out of the box.
I'm using this headset on my PS4. I haven't downloaded the software for it yet because I just got the headset today. After a quick trial run I have one complaint, I cannot hear myself when I talk into the mic. If I download the software and adjust the sidetone will it hold over to the PS4 or is that only for PC purposes? I think I might've made a mistake buying this headset. Which sucks because it sounds great.
hey i know this comment is a year later but ive been looking up many thing and this headset is just really quiet. any suggestions? i tried changing it from dvd to fm and all of the software controls
These unfortunately don't get as loud as some others. If you install Equalizer APO + PEACE addon, you can boost the gain slightly and it should give you a little bit of the extra volume you're looking for. Good luck!
I seem to be missing the mic configs on the software. Reset the headset and reinstalled the software. No change. Any thoughts? I see other people have had this issue as well, but I've not come across any solutions.
Hello, I just bought this headset and when I open the G Hub (I have an iMac), I don't see a tab for either the equalizer or the surround sound. Is this just a difference between a Windows and an IOS computer?
I have the exact same issue, i have looked everywhere and cant find a solution. And btw i think the sound is really bad, flat bass, it sounds like theres something holding back the sound/something in between the speaker and your ear.
What do you reccomand logitech g pro x, blackshark v2 or artics nova 3 or some others? I mainly play single player games, casually fps multiplayer games. Should be also good for music and movies. Thank you.
Blackshark V2 if you don't need Bluetooth. Nova 7 if you do.
I don't understand the part about dts. English is not my main leanguage so I might not fully understand what did you said. I saw that you disabled surround. Don't you recommend it? I mainly wanted to buy those for surround feature to locate enemies in fps games more easly. If that's what it is then what surround headphones do you recommend istead of those?
Bro, surround is the worst thing for fps games, if you want good surround, the check like razer blackshark v2
Hello. I bought a g pro x wireless headset and if I turn it on, I hear an annoying static noise. Is this normal and is happening to you too!
If this helps it’s not happening to me but you might wanna return them or play around with the software
I really don’t know if I want to buy this or the cloud 2 wireless, I already have used the cloud 2 wired for two years and they’re super amazing and also have the alpha S, I want a new wireless headset so what should I buy?
Cloud 2’s are a way better deal and the better option for competitive gaming. If your looking for a new experience , pro x is the way to go ! Hope this helps
Hi! Did you noticed that there is difference between Pro X and Pro x Wireless mic quality? Looks like that wired version is better one
Did you have problems with static noise?
What mic are you using right there, my guy?
I bought this headset today and there is no sound, and its inactive in g hub, anyone know a fix?
try plugging it into a usb 2.0 port. usb 3 can cause problems
Great review, very informative! I've seen your comment about the headset performing well on the PS5, but I wanted to ask whether sidetone works (on the PS5 that is).
@@GadgetryTech I'm a bit confused. Which phone app are you referring to? Also, I assume the "left slider" would be the volume wheel on the left cup?
Thank you for a fantastic review, i didnt know about the apu for this headset, thank you it helps me a lot to boost the sound.
Hey man I bought the headset recently... Have you tried setting your advanced speaker properties to 16 bit, 32000 Hz (FM Radio Quality)
I believe that fixes the surround sound problem that you're talking about. I am no audiophile I am wondering what difference in Quality does it do?
I am a competitive guy when it comes to CS:GO I prefer losing that quality for the surround sound advantage but I don't notice any difference anyway. I wish I know what Audio settings does S1mple use since he uses these headset as well...
You’re right and yes it does make a difference. It’s unfortunate they make you downgrade the sample rate to use virtual sound processing but that is indeed the fix! I discovered that fix thanks to other comments and tweaking it in the past but unfortunately that was after I filmed this review. Thanks for mentioning it and have a good one!
@@GadgetryTech What do you think is best for gaming (performance wise, footsteps, direction and other things) since quality doesn't matter that much there and normal people won't notice the difference DTS 16 bit FM or surround off?
I think Logitech g hub should mention in a note or have their software automatically set the rates if a certain technology needs a different standard rate to be implemented, a lot of people return their headsets from this lmao! sorry for asking again but I am always lost when I change headsets I wish I can understand audio graphs and set my own settings without wasting a week on every new headset...
For gaming you won't experience a massive difference in bit rates, but I would recommend higher bit rates with surround disabled for music listening. To me some games sounded better with DTS on or off, so your experience may differ. I spend much more time tweaking the EQ settings more than messing with virtual sound.
@@GadgetryTech Thanks for your input and reviews, All the best!
this actually did nothing than make it sound more shitty :(
Does the sidetone really work on this as on the razer blackshark you can only hear your voice if you crank the volume all the way up. I like to use my headset for work also so sidetone is important to me.
Awesome review, thanks. SUBD
Things people should know .G hub has to be open .Volume is to low . lets to much outside noise in actually works like a hearing aid outside noise is louder with headset on then off . Audio does not hold a candle to audio technica ath50 for pin pointing locations. but great mic though . Gave mine to a family member not satisfied .
Any white noise? Returned mine and there is a big reddit channel where everyone has a big issue with a static noise appearing as soon as the device is turned on (Even if not connected)
Anybody know if this will beat the hyperx cloud revolver s? I myself don’t think so but still want to know if anyone’s tried both.
Equalizer APO & Peace don't work right with the Logitech G PRO X Wireless.
When I install all of that and setup just a +6 gain, I lose any sound in games like PUBG if someone is coming up from behind me.
It also makes my mic sound like trash.
When I uninstall both EQ APO + Pease, my mic sounds great, I get back the simulated surround of someone being behind me in games... but I just don't get the boosted volume.
I tried changing the sound channel setup to "stereo" rather than the default 7.1... but no luck.
I will have to seek out other solutions for upping the preamp that ONLY does the preamp without messing everything else up.
Im deciding between these and the A50. Most important thing I care about is latency with audio. According to RTings this has 43 ms and the A50 has 10 ms. Do you notice any delay with G Pro X Wireless? Do you think I would notice less of a delay with the A50?
Here in Canada the A50 is 400 whereas the G Pro X Wireless is 250 and I don’t want to spend 150 more if I dont need to.
delay is negliable, I have these and have also used wired and I haven't noticed any delay in audio. It would be awful if it had a noticeable delay.
My only complaint with my pair is battery life, I have to charge them pretty often but that may just be the case with all wireless gaming headsets.
Astro A40 TR's with the mixamp pro are coming in at the same price point right now. Which would you rather have for competitive gaming, these or Astros?
Purely for competitive gaming the A40s.
@@GadgetryTech Awesome thanks for the reply!
Any tweek suggestions for first person shooter games I just got them.
I have a doubt if we set audio preset on pc and then connect them to phone will tose presets be changed to default??
I can use it to talk on PS5 and PC with friends right?
Got these and returned them the next day. They don't compare at all to the Corsair HS60 Pro's that are 1/3rd the price.
I've tried 7 different headsets now and keep going back to my hs60's
Have you ever occurred any background noise, which many people have, including me. I wonder if you have it too.
this headset has a few complaints about its clamping force, it hurts my head if its on too long and with it not being open back that can be a pain too just a heads up to anyone looking to get it
anyone find they knock the volume wheel and get the max volume beep>?
My truth about them.
Coming from the wired version, Logitech G Pro X, I have noted the following:
The build quality doesn't feel as premium as the wired version, the wireless feels more clumsy.
The sounds... Oh boy, the sound doesn't even compare. The wired is way superior. I was expected the sound to be at least the same but I came to realize that the wireless output is about half of the wired version. It's true you have way more bands to customize the EQ on the wireless but you're never able to achieve something comparable with the wired version.
The Logitech DTS is pure garbage. You can substitute it with DTS Sound Unbound but in order to do that, you'll have to uninstall Logitech drivers and replaced them with some generic audio driver. This means you lose all of the G Hub perks. (if you can call them perks)
The microphone is ok, though my friends notice a downgrade while using it. (coming from the wired version).
Overall, I would suggest against this pair of headsets, unless you really want something wireless that looks alike G PRO.
Well said. I had a similar experience!
Will the mic work on Ps5 as well?
My friend has this headset and I am confused because it doesn't have the full 32hz to 16 k on the EQ. It only shows 120 to 6k. How do we fix that?
Just watching and scrolling. I have the G Pro Wired, if they do too, it's that. I had this issue finding my eq's and watching wireless videos instead. Sure this is solved, hope it helps someone!
Do you need a dac/amp for these headphones? My research says no, but I'm not familiar with dac/amp enough to make that determination. Thanks!
Nope! It’s built in. Just plug and play.
@@GadgetryTech Jesus! Thank you so much for the fast response! I'm debating between this versus the schitt hel 2 you reviewed + some HD 560s. Cost wise leans one direction, not sure how much of a differnece the footstep imaging will make, but i'm sure the wired setup mentioned is much better.
@@bens9450 no problem. So the HD 560s has no mic which makes the HEL2 somewhat useless for what you’re paying for. Are you adding a boom mic or something else?
Are you playing on PC or console? Are you using a controller or plugging headphones directly to PC?
@@GadgetryTech Sorry I should have specified! I play on PC (valorant, csgo, apex, etc). I have a standalone mic I would use regardless. Really just determining if the HD 560s + dac/amp is that much better than the convenience of the Logi wireless
@@bens9450 Logi is definitely more convenient for sure! If you don't need a mic, going the wired route would certainly sound better. A nice middle ground is the Drop PC38X or EPOS H6PRO and either use your built in sound card or a good middle ground card like the EPOS GSX1000 or Creative G6. Just something to consider!
Question.. What happens if you lose your dongle? I lost mine and I have no clue what to buy to replace it! Can anyone please help?
The only thing I can think of is contact Logitech for support and hope you get some help.
Can u give eq for gaming?
I bought these headphones in general for gaming, but especially for PUBG, and I almost screwed up! middle and high tones are well expressed, but low tones are a disaster! for example, I can barely hear the opponent's footsteps, as well as everything near me, what is happening! If anyone has any advice on how to help I would appreciate it!
Do you get voice feedback (hearing your self in real time) on discord?
I have the same problems using Equalizer APO on logitech pro X, not recognize my mic in Discord App but still working on Discord Website
for the G PRO X, you dont need the software to use the mic correct?
Correct
Is there any wireless headset without hiss?
I don't know how you used Equalizer APO the clipping is insane even with just +5 DB boost it ends up being lower than default when using it during gaming.If u don't enable prevent clipping you hear half the gunfire the other half gets cut by the software..
Let me offer to you what worked for me with no distorting of audio or adding gain at the preamp level. Hope this will help if you still have the headset.
1. Completely uninstall both applications and remove all of their configs. (Equalizer APO and the add-on, if installed)
2. Reboot just to be safe.
3. Install ONLY the Equalizer APO. When going through the setup, be sure to select that you want to use it on the G Pro X Wireless, and that it's set as the default audio device.
4. Launch a game that you were having low audio issues in and see if it sounds significantly louder.
Those are the steps that worked for me. Seems like just installing Equalizer APO for the headset causes it to sound the way that it should out of the box, not thanks to Logitech.
None of your EQ settings or anything from the G Hub app will be impacted, and no functionality is lost, which is absolutely wonderful.
Prior to me doing this, I would have volume at 100% in RDR2, and it was the equivalent of any other headset I've used set to about 40%.
After, running at 90% is uncomfortable for me when there are gunshots. 70% is about where I like for it to be if gaming causally, 80% is perfect for when I want it loud lol.
I hope this helps you!
Idk if I got a bad one or what, but I thought the sound quality was like the definition of mediocre and literally every friend said my mic was worse than my original mic (amazon desk hook mic for like $60). It pressurized tf outta my head after like every 30 minutes of gaming. Personally wouldn't recommend. My friend's Arctis 5's felt better and that's just sad.
Anyone wanna share their eq settings? i play rainbow six siege mainly and im strugling to get a good one
hi for ps4 worth buying ?
I’m returning my pair…it’s not loud enough Thank you!
I dont like it either, flat bass, bad individual, and not loud enough. It sounds like theres something blocking the sound
Which headset did you replace it with?
@@Anthonydp ended up going the Audiophile route got an amp & bought a beyerdynamic dt 990 pro. Sorry for the late reply just saw this now.
Does this have Bluetooth?
Is there any difference between cable and wireless of these headsets? I mean without having actual cable are there any other differences?
Not good build quality, sorry - the plastic joining the ear cups to the headset will break after around 12 - 18 months (twice now), and I do not treat them particularly roughly - this could have been easily fixed by Logitech using something other than plastic to hold it together. Feels like a deliberate flaw given how easy it is to fix. Not recommended for quality and use reasons (too many bugs with too many games).
200$?? I just bought a new one for 85€ lmao
Would you go with this or the astro a50 gen 4?
A50 Gen 4 has a better mic but unless you need the extra features of the base station the Pro X is a better value. The Pro X does not work on Xbox if that’s an issue for you.
@@GadgetryTech Thank you for the reply! Great video. I have the gen 4 astro a50 but I find it hurts the top of my head after a bit. Thought maybe the Pro X may be a bit comfier.
@@erikjoyner7767 you bet! The Pro X was a little. It more comfortable for me between the two but I didn’t experience the same discomfort you had mentioned. It’s been a while since I’ve used them though so perhaps I forgot!
@@GadgetryTech What is your go to headset these days?
how loud can the sidetone get?
It's not as loud as Astro or Turtle Beach but it's not bad. I think it's more limited by the mic quality at that point.
I just got a new one and the have echo
