Logitech G Pro X 2 LIGHTSPEED Review - Is New Driver Tech Enough?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июл 2024
- The new Logitech G Pro X 2 LIGHTSPEED wireless headset has arrived with upgraded specs like Bluetooth, a better battery life, and an aux input. The biggest change though is the driver tech, which has never been in a mainstream headset before. So does all this add up to justify the $250 asking price?

I'll try to anwser everyone's question individually but also wanted sticky this. There is NO hiss in the microphone. If sidetone is above 55 and the mic is active, there is a faint hiss that slowly increases to a fairly loud hiss if the side tone is set to 100%. Otherwise if side tone is set to 50 or below, there is no hiss no matter what. Also - the forks are metal now. I thought I said that in the review but I may have cut that part off in editing. Sorry!
Is this better than the model one for FPS? You mentioned that model one was the best for FPS on a different video, Is this still the case?
the yokes were always metal. they just swivel this time.
Joe you're the only reviewer who mentioned the fact that this headset (whole G Pro X series maybe?) disables Windows spatial sound (Sonic/Atmos/DTS). Upon investigating this it appears to be a years old issue with the Logitech audio driver and/or G Hub software. People have been complaining about it for years you can see on Reddit and elsewhere. This is a dealbreaker for many people because they buy licenses for Atmos/DTS and expect to be able to use them. Windows spatial sound is an OS level function that should work with all headsets. I've never seen any other headset have this weird problem.
There is a workaround by uninstalling the Logitech audio driver/G Hub and then installing the basic Microsoft audio driver, which will enable you to use the Windows spatial sound. However then you lose all functionality of G Hub so it's really not a good solution. Logitech needs to fix this. Please reach out to them about this very annoying issue. Maybe they will finally do something about it if you do.
Can I ask what the best gaming headset in your opinion
You earned my sub this review was incredible I watched the entire thing. Usually I look for shorter videos but you did it very well. And thank you for having time stamps I didn’t need them since I watched it all but it is great for your viewers.
Stellar review Joe! Your reviews are by far the most detail i've watched. Keep'em coming my dude! Thank you!
New Subscriber here, insane review - 10/10. Thank you for being factual and straight forward and sticking to the point
It's mind blowing that you only have 40k followers, you should have so many more by now. Long videos? Yes, but every ounce of it is useful. Easily the best on RUclips.
Honestly I love tech and watch a TON of reviews, this is my 1st time watching to your channel and I'm impressed with athe ammount of really cool info you shared here in this video, but not only that, but some really cool stuff that most of the reviews nobody would mention! Fucking amazing work! 10/10 imo! Following the channel and sharing it! Congrats!
Thank you for your time and efforts to share this with us all. Much appreciated.
Your content is so well made and in depth... I absolutely love it! Amazing job as always.
Always deliver the best reviews! Thank you!!
Good and detailed review. Thanks a lot. Just bought one pair for me :)
Thank you for such a cohesive review and especially for not dragging on each sentence like so many reviewers . You speak fast like a New Yorker which I love … you get to the point right away . Thank you .
awesome, informative and funny review, brother. thank you, liked and subscribed!
Hey Joe, I would love to see your eq for the G Pro X2’s with a program outside of the G-hub software.
Love your Videos! Keep’em coming!
You've become my most reliable and entertaining reviewer. Thanks! As someone who games primarily on PS5 and doesn't play multiplayer (only single-player 3rd person adventures and rpgs), what would be your current go-to headset?
Great review, well done 👍🏼
Great review, I would love for you to do an EQ video on this headset using something other than Logi software. Seems strange a 250 dollar headset has such a bad custom EQ.
such a nicely detailed video 👍
Great review, really informative!
Do you find the headset worth purchasing if one plans to use the velour ear pads? I was curious if you ever found an eq that lifted the bass while using velour ear pads without ruining the sound overall
How would you compare the imaging to something like the Audeze Maxwell?
does anyone have the perfect settings to set up the microphone of this headset i bought it but the microphone quality is not the best
Hey GadgetryTech i was wondering can you give custom presets for hs80 wired. Like for music, gaming, movie. I know you did in review video but it was for dolby atmos, in usb version you gotta pay for that. So do you know or do you have custom preset for multiple situations?
Incredible review yet again!
Thank you!
Can you tell me which wireless headsets have a 3.5 mm aux out on the headset itself? The arctis pro wireless had but but not the nova pro wireless, so I'm trying to find another solution. It's so I can share my sound while watching a movie
First of all I appreciate the level of effort you put into this video. 👌🏻. Second, do you know if the audio issues (low volume) are fixed in this generation? The older headset you needed to disable features, breaking GHub, just to make it louder. Is the audio comparable to the Astro A50’s using Optical audio?
Would love to try these but I hated the last gen. Thanks!
Thank you for this really great review and other reviews as well, they are just awesome!
I'm thinking of buying these headsets since I want to get rid of my table mic that i got for a couple of years. I'm just sick of the arm always in front of me while gaming. My setup today is a pair of Beyerdynamics DT 770 pro and a blue yeti. My only disappointment is the mic from the Logitech headset, I would assume it was much better but its sad that it was this bad. I really hoped for more.
My question is do you think that chaning the mic to a blue icepop would enhance the headset even more.. But also the price for it would be close to $300. I have also been looking at the razor blackshark v2 2023. What are your thoughts?
It would be really cool if you could make a review of the blue icepop mic :D
Your reviews are awesome! :D im not interested in this headset but i watched the whole thing because of the quality review !
Thanks!
Hello, can you confirm that the ear clips are now metal and not plastic like the first model? Thanks
Very nice review!
my logitech g pro x 2 is not showing up on my g hub? I have connected it to USB and bluetooth but its still not showing up
Hi Joe, at the 26:30 mark are you referring to the sound out of the box or the sound after being eq’d? Thanks
Does anyone know if the blue ice pop will work with these? It saved the last version for me
Hi, can you make a video or write the EQ for this headset with wicked cousions earpads without cooling gel ? Thanks
Is it finally possible to activate Loudness Equalization in the Windows Sound settings?
Can you please advise if the on board memory DAC works when I use this on PS5? Can’t seem to find an answer anywhere but I would assume that it lets you save an EQ for console/bluetooth use.
is there any issue who same like me , this PRO X2 always inactive like several time? i don't know why this happen to my logitech PRO x2 ?
i love your reviews! bought steelseries arctis nova pro wired last month and loving it thank you !
My condolences 😂
@@williamg7138 why?😂
@@krezen3588 you should have got the Audeze Maxwell 💀
Cant wait to see the eq video.
I have the original pro wireless. I ended up downloading a program called "equalizer APO" which allowed me to add 5-10db to the output to fix the quiet headset problem. It works, but its a pain in the ass when windows updates. I have to re-add it again after some windows updates but once you set it up, you don't have to do it otherwise. Overall, doesn't seem like its worth upgrading from the original pro wireless. Thanks for the review! The pro x wireless is still the best headset I've ever owned. Very great sound quality, comfortable and stylish af! xD
Great Video my man, thanks.
How do these compare with the stealth pros?
Im a bit confused, that’s say I’m on my pc, and someone calls me. In that case, can I just plugged my phone into the dongle to get both phone and pc? Like combining phone calls and my game sound.
Great detailed review! Could someone tell me how wide the headband is?
Can the 3.5mm on the dongle be use to plug into an amp?!
S tier review, so comprehensive, covered everything I was trying to discover and more about the sidetone and profiles that other reviews only bushed over at best, has helped me decide to invest in these, keep up the good work!
Did you end up getting this headset? If yes, how do you like it so far? Thanks!
@@1HiddenDay Hey, not yet, I hesitated after seeing some other reviews that said they werent great for competitive shooters, so have been doing more research on other models, but in the end ive decided I'm not really a hardcore pro FPSer like those guys so it doesnt really matter much to me as much as comfort and general sound quailty, plus I have other logitech gear so it fits in with having the logitech software as well, I plan now to pick them up in Januray sales just incase they come down in price, also a little gem I found out on some tech channel with prawn its name, is that you can swap the mic here with the 2023 razor one that everyone raves about and it still works including with the logitech software, so when Razor start selling that 2023 replacement mic im gonna get one for this, but as yet they dont and it has to be the 2023 version, not the 2020 version. Sorry I couldnt help more yet.
@@sonofsomerset1695 Ah i see, i picked up the arctis nova 7 and i don't know how to feel about them. I feel like all the features are lost on it as i need to have steelseries gg/sonar off for them to not sound muffled. I hoped the logitechs would be better for fps'es.
@@sonofsomerset1695 were you able to buy tge mic ? Was there an improvement in mic quality?
hi, i'm unsure which to take. This one or the razer blackshark 2023?
Great review!
Two things - I'd have liked to have seen a comparison with the original Pro X and also with the Ice Cube mic... to see if that made a difference.
The X2, basically, has the functionality that the original should have had: The bluetooth and aux connectivity. I feel that the original was let down badly by the lack of both - it precluded using it as a general headset for other applications... something its cheaper brother, the Pro, could do due to it being wired.
I've only just found the original - but already I think I've found my new go-to headset - not least because it's kinder on my large head, but also because it's so well built. I think that the X2 may tempt me away though, when they come down in price. I'm in no rush.... I'm happy with my X until then.
I have a large head, always need to max out the extension just got the X2 it's very comfortable, enough that even if its a bit weak in other areas I could see wearing this one for longer periods of time.
Do they sell those 3.5mm wire sereprate? I need that badly
Love that the lightspeed connection has such a long range. Is the bt range shorter? Does using lightspeed vs bt make a difference in reliability of the sound or the rate it runs down the charge?
My current headset sounds great and is reliable but the bt connection has a short range and for me the noise cancelling is too much. I like being able to hear other noise in case a knock on the door or call on house phone so those fabric ear cups on the G Pro X2 seem perfect for me. Mine runs out of charge after 6 hours too.
Do you know if the microphone quality gets better when the headset is plugged ?
What’s the table lamp from thumbnail?
i wish more people would mention sound stage when they make a headset review.. how good is it on the X2 Pro? still deciding on the Logitech or Turtle Beach Stealth Pro.
nice, complete and calm review, +1 sub and like :)
That would be awesome, if you compare this headset with Razer Blackshark v2 pro and Astro A30.
I am currently using a pair of Sennheiser HD 598se and I have a very rapidly degrading 10 year old pair of Logitech G933 for when I don't want to be tethered. I am torn between getting a nice upgrade on the wireless side with something like the Nova Pro, H3Pro Hybrid, Corsair virtuoso or seeing if there is a solid upgrade on the wired side and just getting something decent like the HS80. My biggest issue is that I am not sure if there is a pair of wireless that can match that quality of sound of my 598s. If anyone has some feedback I would love to hear it as I am currently going down the research rabbit hole.
Great review,as always! How about Hyper X Cloud III? Do you plan to review those in the future?
Late to this by a month, but does anyone know of surround sound is available on this headset?
Amazing review mate great job!
I have a minor question. If I used the headset without the dongle, do we actually lose any sound quality or any features? My motherboard has Bluetooth so is there any reason to use it?
Subbed for respecting our time plus nice video.
I guess I will be sticking with my g pro wireless headset. I was really hoping logitech would upgrade the mic a bit to get up there with the Corsair ones.
Which would be better the Steelseries Nova Pro Wireless or the Logitech gpro X2
I really like this headset but I have issues with it disconnecting and reconnecting a couple of times per hour. I've done a lot of troubleshooting, even got a new pair and still the same issue. Very sad.
Does the X 2 has the hiss in the left earcup like the X 1 has?
I use a GoXLR so routing it into the dongle is a very welcome change (allowing me to have wireless headphones with my GoXLR).
I have GOXLR and First Gen works wireless as well, there's a trick for it.
Between the Razer Blackshark 2023 and G pro X2, which one should be the best for cs go?
I’m someone who loves my Astro a40tr’s and I’ve been with them for ages. Would this headset be a good alternative to it? Also just double check, so I can use this headset as a wired headset and it’s powered by the controller correct?
How Are They Compared To The Nova 7? Please Answer
Imaging difference between these and the maxwells? Is it significant?
I Ordered the Audeze Maxwell. But Somehow Audeze has delivery Problems. So I am looking for a spare Headset untill it arrives which is said to be earliest in 3 Month+.
I mainly Listen to musik (Orchestral/Enviremental/HipHop) and play CS GO.
Usually I listen to stuff at Windows Volumen 19-23. So I personaly have no problems with what otheres say would be low levels. And to compensate for that I usually go with a little of a V shape sound signature.
I liked the DT 1990´s and my Raptgo-HookX´s but I am looking for a wireless alternative for the comfort and while Laungeing/Cooking.
Personaly I dont mind EQíng or tweaking pads.
Do you have any sugesstions? If it is perfekt for FPS and Okay for musik I´m okay with that since I hope the Maxwell will eventually fill that gap.
Thank you!
which one is the best? this one or razer blackshark v2 pro 2023?
Also DTS:X in G Hub for the G Pro X 2 headset is completely broken it seems. Only the Front Left and Front Right channels are outputting sound. Very easy to test this in G Hub.
how can i connect the headset with aux ?
Is there white noise like in other wireless headphones?
Can I still use the usb external soundcard from the previous Pro X model and put it on this one?
wait..it cannot be wired? i thought they said it can
Which do you prefer, this or the Razor BlackShark V2 pro?
Hey great review. For PS5 do you advise this or SS Arctic Nova 7P/X. I play mostly story-based games (Uncharted, Spiderman, RDR2, The Last of Us etc)
How does this stand up to the arctis nova pro
Need to talk more about the different ear cups, the sound changes IMMENSELY.
So you couldn't hook up an amp to the wireless dongle and use that as your primary sound?
Hey man, great review! I got a question: I'm looking for a headset that has both great sound quality for video editing & gaming and Bluetooth so it can connect to a MacBook. Would you recommend this Logitech headset, or any other headset?
i got mine today i love em. the mic quality isn’t as bad because i got it set up through a go xlr mini but man i’m facing a problem right now with it picking up the game audio no matter what after i adjust the game volume, the mic threshold and noise gate.
Best channel on RUclips I notice a lot of Channels talking about your content I love them I’m watching using my turtle bsp I would love some more eqs on that
Thanks! I’m working on it!
@@GadgetryTech keep up the awesome work
I was really hoping that they make a small usb c dongle for this model. Like the one Razer has with their 2022 Barracuda.
I use the aux on the dongle to play my xbox game sound through the headset on my g933's and the lack of that input is why I haven't upgraded a headset in 6 years
Does that means there's no real way to dial in how you want it? I'm not a big fan of the EQ compared to the Nova Pro Wireless that you helped me dial in. I can barely hear footsteps but hitmarkers hurt my ears. It just doesn't sound great. What else would you recommend cause I do like how music sounds but not certain games.
Bluetooth adaptor plugged into audio jack to transfer a phone connection?
I wonder if this time it can be used wired with USB-C?
Love your reviews! How does the LG compare to the competition? Have a maxwell myself but the comfort is an issue so looking at alternatives.
Does it work with Xbox series x with chat mix functioning ? I mean wireless mode
What headset stand is in the review? Thank you!
Would you choose these over the nova 7?
Is the sidetone loud enough? I like to hear myself just like I would without wearing a headset, I'm using Void Elite Wireless and it's sidetone is impeccable, I need something similar to it, I tried Nova Pro's but its sidetone turned out to be just terrible, any recommendation is very welcome!
I want to say something about this that I haven't seen anyone say yet. I'm planning on getting a new headset soon, and I am a PC user. The primary use-case for simultaneous bluetooth (if this had it) would be to play on Nintendo Switch connected with bluetooth to the headset wirelessly, and to my primary monitor via HDMI, while also hearing my discord chat and whatever else I want to use my secondary PC monitor for. The somewhat overlooked addition of the auxillary input on the dongle allows me to do this regardless. I can connect the Nintendo Switch auxillary audio output on the top of the Switch handset to the dongle plugged into my PC.
The only other meaningful use-case for simultaneous bluetooth (for me personally) would be to take a call from my girlfriend while in a game like League of Legends that cannot just be paused. But honestly it isn't that much worse to just switch to bluetooth while I take the call, and lose game audio for that duration, and then switch back once I am done on the phone.
The primary competitor to this headset in my opinion is the Arctis Nova 7. Similar price point and many of the same features. In my opinion the only way that this headset loses is the simultaneous bluetooth feature. Now, if the little auxillary port on the dongle did not exist, it would not even be close. I would not consider this headset over the Arctis for even a moment. But the fact that it does exist makes it somewhat competitive still for my situation.
Just thought that was worth saying. If Logitech re-released this headset again with simultaneous bluetooth then I think this headset would beat everything else wireless right now, especially for the price.
It looks like you might be able to use the BLUE ICEPOP Mic they sell to replace the mic this comes with, perhaps it has better quality?
Does the sidetone work well on PS5? And if so, is it loud enough?
Which one gets louder the NOVA pro wireless or the TB Stealth Pro ? Volume is a deciding factor for me, since I play loudness EQ, the gunfights are toned down a lot, and the foot steps are louder, but even with loudness EQ the footsteps aren’t designed to be near as loud as a gunshot, so it’s more like 85db on the logitech so I’d like how the other ones compare
Just an FYI, A firmware update was just released for this headset that I believe allows EQ settings to be saved to the headset.
I managed to get dolby atmos to work on this headset. Sounds 100% better. And now that you posted all your FR response data I was able to dial these in to sound excellent. Even with the cloth pads I got it to sound similar to how it sounds with the leather but more open Soundstage.
I also just wanna say since I started watching your channel almost 2 years ago I've learned a ton. I wouldn't have been able to EQ these to sound this good without your channel. Thanks GT 😎
Could you please tell how you got it working and what EQ settings you are using? I would really appreciate it :)
How do you get Dolby atmos to work with Logitech ghub? The headphone shows up but can't be opened. You can't use the Logitech driver only the Microsoft driver
@@user-lr3ee1pd9b Where is the Microsoft driver?
Please explain how to get Atmos working.
Having a hard time deciding between this and the MMX 200. What has a better sound in your opinion?
