I like that you don't overhype products in your reviews. It's incredibly common to see these so called reviewers praise every product beyond measure. Thanks for being real!
I'll just chime in after trying these for a day (desktop gaming). Right now they're a massive step down from the 1st Gen Wireless Pro X I've been using (which I'll be comparing this to). The out the box sound quality is significantly muddier (especially in the mid range). The advanced EQ adjustments (through G Hub) just aren't there at launch, so you're forced to work with basic sliders that don't resolve any of the audio quality problems. The passive noise cancellation of the earcups isn't any better. And the mic is still trash (and unchanged!) after so much backlash/feedback. It's a joke of a headset for $250. Super disappointing. I'd wait 6 months to see if they iron out the software/driver issues before trying, but tbh if you're looking at this just buy the Gen 1's they're cheaper and sound better (or offer more flexibility for tweaking).
I sometimes feel no company WANTS to build the perfect wireless pair of headphones. There is always something broken about it leaving the user jumping to the next promising device, and the next after that. And the manufacturers benefiting overall, from the high-end user seeking perfection. The game is rigged. 😄
This is why I am a separate mic and headset guy. I have had the same mic for about 10 years, a Yeti Blackout Edition, and have gone through multiple headsets in the same time for a fraction of the price.
@@SuperUltra_ Cheapest Mic arm I can get with the Blue Yeti Blackout Edition (had planned to upgrade to Pro and XLR but a ton of stuff happened and they stopped making it in between) And currently I am using the Oneodio duo input headphones (if you need a larger headset don't even buy them) and until recently a set of open back cans from a knockoff brand and now I am looking at getting a pair of Sampson Semi-open headphones. On the software side I have Ear Horn and Sound Switch to manage my audio better and control my sound outputs better.
I just wish they would make open-back audio quality wireless headphones. I hate being tied down, especially after years of not having a cable. Wireless is all closed-back, so people can use them in public. I really don't care about that. So gaming headsets and not using the mic it is...
I would love to have separate headphones and mic, but being in University and having to move in and out during the years, gaming headset has been more convenient
@@nevcairiel Same, I don't like the sound of closed-back headphones. One problem is I suppose is how to make wireless headphones open and fit a long lasting battery inside of it.
I didn't expect the HS80 to be that clear! Sounded like a professional microphone. You just convinced me to buy the HS80 instead of the garbage Logitech headset
Or how about they just release an updated microphone capsule for a few sheckles and NOT make us spend another $250 for the next headset. Its just a simple plug-in mic after-all.
@@matt.gillispie That would be dope if they offer a better quality one and ALSO update the current headset to be paired with that better one for new buyers! At that price point it should be offered with it for sure!
I bought the Logitech G Pro X2 and am delighted with the quality of these headphones. I was looking for something that would work for both PC and Switch gaming and am very happy with them.
At this price point tho like he said, we should still demand better! You could use the mic as a backup if yours shit the bed for example. But it's garbage, imagine if it was a GOOD backup mic! Everything else is a win tho for sure I agree!
@@rawj1213 thats fair, i agree that the mic definitely should be better at this price point, hope they fix it for their next version, other than that its a great headset!
@@boredborder8248 Yezzzirrrrr! Also. They could offer a upgraded mic since it just literally plugs into the headset! But include the upgraded mic in all headsets then on as a solution now!
Thank you for the video, good comparisons ! I just got this headset and I realise why my friends say my mic sounds bad lmao. RIP them I guess because I love the audio and comfort it offers, also they say they're getting used to it after a few days anyway. It's not a good mic, but it's also not bad.
Had the HyperX's, SteelSeries Nova Pro's, Razer's hs, nothing compares to this ones. Im literally Stunned how great of a Headset X2's are from literally any aspect. Sound is impeccable, Battery is insane ,im currently on 6th day of use in intense Gaming and Music and im left with 60% battery, the Graphein thing is something i thought will not play any rule but hell i was wrong. This are the only gaming wireless headset i could recommend to anyone and stand behind that strong feet XD
@@GunlogicsTV I had the blackshark v1 headset, not the v2, so this might not be the same, but they were so overwhelmingly uncomfortable, I had to return them.
I got the G Pro X 2 Lightspeed a couple weeks ago. Its a very good headset. The sound quality sounds the same if not better than my old G Pro X wired headset. The microphone sounds the same as the old wired one, which is impressive for a wireless headset. None of my friends noticed a difference over discord that I was using a different headset.
Man that mic is such a dealbreaker. I love everything else. I need to get free of my 935, but I love the sound, mic sounds good, and the noise rejection is great.
As an owner of the GPro wireless you sold me on this one now to save or wait for a sale, cause with a mic like that, I feel that 249 is a bit much! Great review as always :)
I swapped the mic boom from my old wired gPros (blue voice model) when I upgraded to the wireless GPro (x1) and there was a noticeable improvement. If you already have the GPro wireless and get these I recommend testing both mics in case one sounds better.
Can the microphone of the Logitech G Pro x 2 be changed with the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro microphone? Or is there no difference because the headsets have an audio chip that controls the microphone?
I've tried a few headsets, Razer, PowerA etc but the Corsair HS80 has been the best for comfort, mic quality and sound quality. The added bonus of 20Hz-40,000Hz over USB makes the sound quality even greater enabling me to hear more in the games I play!
I still use the very first G PRO. It's always been a very comfortable, light weight and good quality gaming headset with great positioning. But Soundblaster z just brought it to a completely different level. I don't think I would be able to use build-in sound card ever again.
I will never buy steelseries with that design on the ear cup and headband it breaks no matter what, its been a huge issue and its talked about on the forums.
Great review. I agree with everything said here. I ended up returning G Pro X2 Lightspeed. The mic quality was the thing. I make a lot of voice notes and couldn't stand the downgrade in the recorded quality compared to the wired Audio Technica headset.
a little bit late, but same here. I had it for a few days now but ended up wanting to refund it now. For the price the mic is just absolutely unaccebtable, really disappointed in logitech there
@@supapupper5983 I mean you can surely talk with it but as you can hear in the video it's just really not worth the price at all and is honestly a scam. I did refund it because I talk a lot with my friends while gaming and it's just no fun for them
Is the mic actually bad or does the Logitech's wireless implentation just ruin It? Maybe test the mic (and a few different ones, of those that are detachable) on a proper sound card input?
Can confirm plugging in the mic wired sounds Much better than wireless. looks like logitech doesnt dedicate tonnes of wireless bandwidth to the microphone. Audio is still great through
When I saw your face painted blue with the G logo i thought this would be a biased review. I'm glad it wasn't. I picked up this headset today and the sound is good, but mic sucks... just as you mentioned. I've been using the G733s for years. I think they're a bit more comfortable for love seasons actually. Thinking about returning these... haven't made up my mind yet tho.
Have you tested the Logitech/Blue Ice Pop microphone that you can get for the G Pro X and X2 Lightspeed? Does it bring the Mic quality on par with the competitors?
FYI, The G PRO X2 is KNOWN to have an audio issue where it sounds quiet so you have to really turn up your PC volume to hear audio at a decent level and sometimes it may be abnormal levels. Supposedly it is a driver or G Hub issue but has not been resolved since the G PRO X released. I myself did not know this information before I bought my G PRO X2 and just want to warn you before you do the same. A lot of information about this flaw can be found on Logitech's sub-reddit.
Would like to see a review on the Audeze Maxwell Wireless, RTINGS rated as the best gaming headset, it has planar magnetic drivers and a decent mic and 80hr battery life from the other reviews I watched, would love to see your review on it.
Yeah really want to see one of the bigger channels review the maxwells. Not sure why since I already have them and love them, just need someone to tell me I made the right choice haha.
@@jht8367 I would buy them already but they are out of stock everywhere, if theres a bigger channel that reviews them then I'd preorder. btw hows the mic? It sounded pretty decent from what I heard, wondering if it can replace my bulky mic
fortunately for me microphone audio isnt a problem because i have my own microphone. for me im glad that logitech puts more effort into having great sounding audio quality and eq balancing etc. than the microphone. although i do understand most consumers likely do not have the same thing and for $250 it should be better. doesnt have to be razor better but just more crisp
Great review! Just a quick question: Will I be able to connect this headset to my GOXLR with a 3.5mm cable? I don't want to use the wireless feature, but not sure if that is the only option.
Does only I have or it is normal for those headsets? My left adjustment hinge is a little bit weak than right hinge? I returned it to store and get new one but it is almost same. Left hinge is a little bit weaker than right. It should be like that?
have had the pro x 1's for maybe 3-4 years, biggest downsides was thickness of the ear cushions, and after 2 years it started making crackling noises when i turned up the volume.
Perfect. I already went out of my way to buy a microphone and a boom arm so my heart did sink to my balls when I heard the audio quality on some of those other headsets but it seems my money isn't really going to go to waste afterall.
I am not sure if the mic capsule was the issue, I have a suspicion that it is how the wireless transmission was handled, is there a way to test if that's the case? Is there a wired mode? Can it work in wired mode?
Coming from audiophile headphones and a condensor mic, I've been gravitating towards the convenience of a wireless headset. But this kind of mic quality really just doesn't cut it. I know I have to trade away some sound and mic quality for wireless, but not this much...
@@wintersoldier4269 In my 20 years I've used my share of gaming headsets and audiophile headphones, from $5 earbuds to $500 headphones. Audiophile headphones are just like any other product category, including gaming headsets, they have their bad products and good products, their snake oils, and their myths, but if you care about sound quality, gaming headsets was just not up there until very recently. Audio technology itself has seen huge developments in the last decade as well.
In comparison to Logitech g535, is it worth another 100$ ? I have seen on rtings that g535 has higher sound quality even thou they are much cheaper ? Thanks for any info. Also what headphones would you buy in 2024 for listening to music and gaming.
I agree! I appreciate the "real" attitude; telling us both what is good and not so good, and what is bad. I don't feel like I can trust opinions when the product is hyped up....
This is why I prefer detachable microphones for headphones. I would like a lot more expensive version compared to the ModMic. Something that compares to a Rode NT1 Gen 5 but not stationary. And of course, I don't mind if the microphone ends with a 1/4" TRS and XLR as I have a couple of rack-mount gear (Behringer MIC2200 and MDX2600) that I use as my signal chain. A bit of EQ for my voice, expander, compressor, and a limiter all in hardware. No software needed. :)
what if I use a lavalier mic with a wireless sender, I have spend a lot of money on condenser/dynamic mics with xlr audio interfaces and it's a hassle, bulky (a lot of cables) and also a expensive solution that doesn't sound as good as the mic on the corsair h80 because we have to always speak close to the mic which is annoying, I can't sit back and talk. it feels like work
@@DarkP1 I've already spent a lot of money on rackmount gear, so that's not a problem for me. I could go with a lavalier microphone, but I would rather prefer a constant volume no matter where I move my head around. I wish there's more market for professional detachable headset microphone with an XLR connector. If it costs about $100 or more (my ceiling would be around $200 to $250), I would be happy with that. But then to each their own. I only care about getting the best flattest frequency response for a microphone whenever possible.
youre wasting time and money.. discord compresses that shit anyway everyone sounds close to the same. and if your trying to be a "streamer" its still a waste
I cannot decide if going for this Logitech G Pro X2 Lightspeed or the corsair virtuoso XT. BTW these are the only two good options I could buy in my country
Sorry this might sound like a dumb question, but could you possibly replace the mic with another like the razer or Corsair to get better quality or is it within the headset?
atp with gaming headsets, I don't even factor the mic into the equation. ik it's important for some ppl since not everyone can afford a headphone + mic combo separately but it's so much more worthwhile if you wait and save. Ever since I used a studio mic + gaming headset setup, the only upgrades you'll need from now on are the headphones (and that'll be every few years minimum). Even a cheap newer mic from amazon will have you set for the long run if you're budget conscious.
I feel like they kept the mic the same to sell the blue ice pop as a premium option. You’d end up spending about $300 at that point. With that in mind, you’re better off spending your money on the Audeze Maxwell, if they ever give their stock issues.
The blue ice pop option is just absolutely useless. The quality is basically the same as the stock mic. But you could use the razer 2023 mic replacement, if razer will ever sell them.
I have a question about this headset. How good is the seal on the earmuffs? Can you hear outside noise or is it completely blocked out? Grateful for any reply :D
@@JayuiceMC How has the pro x2s been for you? Looking into getting them for my ps5 and finally make the jump to wireless. Been using my HyperX Cloud Stingers wired since my ps4 pro
Not sure it fits, I haven’t got the g pro x2 but the GPro x1 has a cutout for the mic so it would depend on whether you could get a different mic to fit in the slot
Uh, my friend and I both have the G Pro X headset (wireless), and neither of us sound like that on the mic. We both sound fantastic with the Blue software in use. I don’t know what you did to make it sound that bad, or what you’re doing so wrong in the software to make it sound “even worse”, but either you somehow have a very very different product than we do, or this is just flat out lies. I don’t get it either way. It honestly sounds like you went into G Hub and cranked the High Pass filter all the way up, Bass all the way down, and then lowered the audio quality as low as it would go in the windows device properties.
Could you guys test the difference with the Blue Icepop vs the Stock mic? For someone with gen1 G Pro-X, it would be cool to know if thats a worth while upgrade.
I am looking for an audiophile headset that also comes with a mic that doesn't totally doesn't break the bank. Is the sound quality good for simple music enjoyment with depth? My other option would be the Drop x EPOS headset, as well as the Audeze Maxwell but that's a bit much for me. I am also interested in something by seinheisser and sacrifice the mic but get a big bump in quality.
So is the microphone identical to that in the original G Pro X wired version? Granted, out of the box its trash but with some tweaking it sounds excellent (as good as, if not better than the Blackshark example you gave)
I enjoy my hyper x cloud alphas wireless, 300 hour battery in them is amazing. Sound is good , microphone is good to but i hardly use it. They are probably not the best at comfort.
Thank you for another amazing HONEST and CRITICAL video. I DESPISE with a passion all the other budget reviewers praising everything, that compares their review products to the other garbage they've reviewed, instead of the high-end/best products. So you get a completely wrong comparison. "These sound amazing!" ... compared to this other 20-50$ headset I normally use.... Completely useless. So thank you! I would've normally have bought this, trusting Logitech would deliver something good, but now won't. However now I'm left stranded, since I dislike the looks of the Razer 'gamery'-look.
I don't have Maxwell's yet, but they are highly regarded for delivering some of the best wireless audio in the gaming space. Although the new drivers on the X2 are the best i've tried yet. I travel with them now (and my Nova Pro Wireless) because they are so good. -D.
Дмитрий, спасибо за обзор. Посоветуй пожалуйста идеальные наушники для проведения многочасовых ОНЛАЙН УРОКОВ - важно работать как с ПК так и с телефона и планшета - то есть наличие Bluetooth так же важно. Выбираю между Logitech G Pro X2 White, Razer blackshark v2 pro 2023 White и Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless White. Заранее спасибо за ответ.
My only question is can I use it with my Xbox. Like at least the wired version of it and just use wireless for my pc. Will it save my custom EQ’s for when I play on my Xbox too.
With slight differences in price based on black friday sales , which WIRED headset would u recommend between G Pro X , HS80 and the cheapest being Razor V2 X , for ps5
I like that you don't overhype products in your reviews. It's incredibly common to see these so called reviewers praise every product beyond measure. Thanks for being real!
Yeah, that mic is unacceptable compared to corsair's and razer's or even steelseries' mics

Does only I have or it is normal for those headsets? My left adjustment hinge is a little bit weak than right hinge? I returned it to store and get new one but it is almost same. Left hinge is a little bit weaker than right. It should be like that?
have had the pro x 1's for maybe 3-4 years, biggest downsides was thickness of the ear cushions, and after 2 years it started making crackling noises when i turned up the volume.
cant wait for a translucent one to pair with my x2 superclear!
the jump from the Pro X2 to the Blackshark V2 Pro and HS80 is fucking insane XD
Perfect. I already went out of my way to buy a microphone and a boom arm so my heart did sink to my balls when I heard the audio quality on some of those other headsets but it seems my money isn't really going to go to waste afterall.
I am not sure if the mic capsule was the issue, I have a suspicion that it is how the wireless transmission was handled, is there a way to test if that's the case? Is there a wired mode? Can it work in wired mode?
Coming from audiophile headphones and a condensor mic, I've been gravitating towards the convenience of a wireless headset. But this kind of mic quality really just doesn't cut it. I know I have to trade away some sound and mic quality for wireless, but not this much...
"audiophile" hahahahha so funny ... stay off of reddit they giving u bad advice on what to buy
@@wintersoldier4269 In my 20 years I've used my share of gaming headsets and audiophile headphones, from $5 earbuds to $500 headphones. Audiophile headphones are just like any other product category, including gaming headsets, they have their bad products and good products, their snake oils, and their myths, but if you care about sound quality, gaming headsets was just not up there until very recently. Audio technology itself has seen huge developments in the last decade as well.
Great review thank you! Definitely reconsidering on the microphone quality, such a shame, everything else seemed so good.
In comparison to Logitech g535, is it worth another 100$ ? I have seen on rtings that g535 has higher sound quality even thou they are much cheaper ? Thanks for any info. Also what headphones would you buy in 2024 for listening to music and gaming.
I agree! I appreciate the "real" attitude; telling us both what is good and not so good, and what is bad. I don't feel like I can trust opinions when the product is hyped up....
It looks like you can buy a different mic for the logitech headset. Good idea or no?
the mic is great just use the bluevoice and customize it lol. mine sounds just as good as the blackshark
It should sound great without any software. The fact it doesn't is a joke for this price. I'm still going to use my Blue Yeti.
@@philipmrch8326 noone asked
My mic sounds sounds worse than g pro x after a ton of settings and attempts ...
This is why I prefer detachable microphones for headphones. I would like a lot more expensive version compared to the ModMic. Something that compares to a Rode NT1 Gen 5 but not stationary. And of course, I don't mind if the microphone ends with a 1/4" TRS and XLR as I have a couple of rack-mount gear (Behringer MIC2200 and MDX2600) that I use as my signal chain. A bit of EQ for my voice, expander, compressor, and a limiter all in hardware. No software needed. :)
what if I use a lavalier mic with a wireless sender, I have spend a lot of money on condenser/dynamic mics with xlr audio interfaces and it's a hassle, bulky (a lot of cables) and also a expensive solution that doesn't sound as good as the mic on the corsair h80 because we have to always speak close to the mic which is annoying, I can't sit back and talk. it feels like work
@@DarkP1 I've already spent a lot of money on rackmount gear, so that's not a problem for me. I could go with a lavalier microphone, but I would rather prefer a constant volume no matter where I move my head around. I wish there's more market for professional detachable headset microphone with an XLR connector. If it costs about $100 or more (my ceiling would be around $200 to $250), I would be happy with that.
But then to each their own. I only care about getting the best flattest frequency response for a microphone whenever possible.
youre wasting time and money.. discord compresses that shit anyway everyone sounds close to the same. and if your trying to be a "streamer" its still a waste
Whao I can't believe they didn't improve the mic..
Wow what a review.subscribed !
You literally have answered everything I wanted to know
for valorant what do you recommend around 150$? i cant decide, hyper x cloud alpha s or cloud 3 or this or beyer mmx100 , dt 770 pro 80ohm
I cannot decide if going for this Logitech G Pro X2 Lightspeed or the corsair virtuoso XT. BTW these are the only two good options I could buy in my country
Hopefully they come out with a Non wireless version only too.
the mic is really cookie, but with a yeti and these as the output source its actually an amazing combo im glad I picked these up
I also have those corsair headphones super comfy but audio to me just not as good as the x2
hows battery life ? is it 50 hours or 20 hours ? after about 2 years of using the first version of these i got less then 16 hours.
Awesome review. What do you think of the Logitech for music or movies?
Thanks for the comparison with all the other headsets!
What's the best one for office and work?
Vitosha mountain at the back, sick intro ;D
Sorry this might sound like a dumb question, but could you possibly replace the mic with another like the razer or Corsair to get better quality or is it within the headset?
In theory you should, but the headset frame into where the mic plugs in, has a specific cutout so none of my other mics fit.
-D.
atp with gaming headsets, I don't even factor the mic into the equation. ik it's important for some ppl since not everyone can afford a headphone + mic combo separately but it's so much more worthwhile if you wait and save.
Ever since I used a studio mic + gaming headset setup, the only upgrades you'll need from now on are the headphones (and that'll be every few years minimum). Even a cheap newer mic from amazon will have you set for the long run if you're budget conscious.
I feel like they kept the mic the same to sell the blue ice pop as a premium option. You’d end up spending about $300 at that point. With that in mind, you’re better off spending your money on the Audeze Maxwell, if they ever give their stock issues.
The blue ice pop option is just absolutely useless. The quality is basically the same as the stock mic. But you could use the razer 2023 mic replacement, if razer will ever sell them.
I have a question about this headset. How good is the seal on the earmuffs? Can you hear outside noise or is it completely blocked out? Grateful for any reply :D
Could you compare the mic with the BLUE ICEPOP MIC from logitech, which is exclusiv for that headset ?
Having the BLUE Icepop really change the quality.
Hey,
Stupid question here, but can i chaghe that mic with another one, still connecting it to the headset?
you can use the blackshark v2 mic on the g pro x 2 and it sounds alot better
Really? On par or better than the blue icepop add on mic?
Like crystal clear
@@JayuiceMC How has the pro x2s been for you? Looking into getting them for my ps5 and finally make the jump to wireless. Been using my HyperX Cloud Stingers wired since my ps4 pro
Hey, I found a pc37x headset for 80$. Do you recommend me to buy it?
And i am pc player
Hello, if you use the jack cable, do you need to turn on the headset ? Do you need to charge it too ?
Very good review thanks! Out of curiosity, what if you had both, could you use the razer mic with the pro x 2 and get a really good outcome?
Not sure it fits, I haven’t got the g pro x2 but the GPro x1 has a cutout for the mic so it would depend on whether you could get a different mic to fit in the slot
I’d love to see a comparison between this and the Astro A30!
Uh, my friend and I both have the G Pro X headset (wireless), and neither of us sound like that on the mic. We both sound fantastic with the Blue software in use. I don’t know what you did to make it sound that bad, or what you’re doing so wrong in the software to make it sound “even worse”, but either you somehow have a very very different product than we do, or this is just flat out lies. I don’t get it either way.
It honestly sounds like you went into G Hub and cranked the High Pass filter all the way up, Bass all the way down, and then lowered the audio quality as low as it would go in the windows device properties.
I agree. I sound nothing like this
@@Ari_G73 bro, how... My mic sounds like trash compared to g pro x wired...
These where on sale tpday at 130€ i think now at that price its a steal!! got it immediately after the vid
Could you guys test the difference with the Blue Icepop vs the Stock mic? For someone with gen1 G Pro-X, it would be cool to know if thats a worth while upgrade.
Looking at getting the one's you currently have. How have they been iyo?
How are you tuning the EQ on the headset to be usable?? I fixed it but reinstalled windows, now have no idea how I fixed it in the past.
I think Logitech must learn from Corsair about wireless mic quality...
I am looking for an audiophile headset that also comes with a mic that doesn't totally doesn't break the bank. Is the sound quality good for simple music enjoyment with depth? My other option would be the Drop x EPOS headset, as well as the Audeze Maxwell but that's a bit much for me. I am also interested in something by seinheisser and sacrifice the mic but get a big bump in quality.
The mic test is very much appreciated!
My guy, casually filming at vitoshka like it's the times square, respect.
For me I have a pro microphone so I’m only looking for the headphones. What is the best?
So is the microphone identical to that in the original G Pro X wired version? Granted, out of the box its trash but with some tweaking it sounds excellent (as good as, if not better than the Blackshark example you gave)
hi there! what tweaking did you do for the mic? I'm looking at getting this headset and my bf always complains my mic is trash 😂
Does it sounds better than Razer barracuda pro?
thanks for the review, always nice to see Vitoshka :>
In your opinion what would be your choice between baracuda pro vs logitech gpro x2.
I enjoy my hyper x cloud alphas wireless, 300 hour battery in them is amazing. Sound is good , microphone is good to but i hardly use it. They are probably not the best at comfort.
Thank you for another amazing HONEST and CRITICAL video. I DESPISE with a passion all the other budget reviewers praising everything, that compares their review products to the other garbage they've reviewed, instead of the high-end/best products. So you get a completely wrong comparison. "These sound amazing!" ... compared to this other 20-50$ headset I normally use.... Completely useless. So thank you! I would've normally have bought this, trusting Logitech would deliver something good, but now won't. However now I'm left stranded, since I dislike the looks of the Razer 'gamery'-look.
My computer dosent have a Bluetooth chip can i still use this ones to my PC with the dongle?
So does it replace your Nova Pro's? You didn't answer the question lol
I passed on these and went with the Razer Blackshark v2 Pro because I heard they're horrible for CSGO..
Can you actually change the microphone as long as it's a 3.5 or does the software reject it?
How is it compared to the Audeze Maxwell? I heard the Maxwell's quite heavy and you shouldn't use it for longer gaming sessions
I don't have Maxwell's yet, but they are highly regarded for delivering some of the best wireless audio in the gaming space. Although the new drivers on the X2 are the best i've tried yet. I travel with them now (and my Nova Pro Wireless) because they are so good.
-D.
@@HardwareCanucks Awesome, thank you for the feedback :)
@@HardwareCanuckswhich one of them you prefer Logitech or steel series?
Дмитрий, спасибо за обзор. Посоветуй пожалуйста идеальные наушники для проведения многочасовых ОНЛАЙН УРОКОВ - важно работать как с ПК так и с телефона и планшета - то есть наличие Bluetooth так же важно. Выбираю между Logitech G Pro X2 White, Razer blackshark v2 pro 2023 White и Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless White. Заранее спасибо за ответ.
My only question is can I use it with my Xbox. Like at least the wired version of it and just use wireless for my pc. Will it save my custom EQ’s for when I play on my Xbox too.
With slight differences in price based on black friday sales , which WIRED headset would u recommend between G Pro X , HS80 and the cheapest being Razor V2 X , for ps5
