The Logitech G Pro X is already a very popular headset and was voted Gaming Accessory of the Year by some in 2019/2020. Now we have a wireless upgrade available for the Logitech G Pro X2. With its new graphene audio drivers, it offers a whole new gaming audio experience, and the difference is dramatic. The headset does lack some extra features (such as ANC), but the most important feature for an esports competitor is undoubtedly the sound and microphone quality that this headset excels at.
Let us tell you about the design first. The previous version was one of the most comfortable to wear on the market, and this new one is just as comfortable, if not lighter. They are perfect for any head size, have breathable fabrics and all in all they are very comfortable. There’s a mechanical switch that turns it off and on so you don’t have to wonder if it’s on, and the mic’s mute button pops out to let you know the mic is muted. Along with the obligatory volume wheel, and a button to toggle between Lightspeed and Bluetooth connectivity. It has no extra bells and whistles, but it really doesn’t need to. The only thing we don’t like about its look is the black mic boom on the white version. It’s a small thing, but actually kind of annoying.
The mic itself is a 6mm cardioid mic attached to a detachable mic arm, thanks to the Blue VO available in the Logitech G Hub software! With CE filters, it’s easy to get crystal-clear sound for your gaming friends. Sound quality isn’t great without these filters enabled, but wearing it is one of the best microphone experiences we’ve had with a wireless gaming headset. We wouldn’t mind having the ability to flip to mute the mic, but as we mentioned before, the button to mute the mic is very easy to access. The mic boom is also very adjustable, and it’s no problem keeping it at a distance from your mouth without compromising quality.

Then we get to the best part of the headset. Audio quality. This is where the Logitech G Pro X2 really shines. The headphones feature new 50mm PRO-G graphene audio drivers with real-time edge suspension to deliver sound like never before. Enhanced audio response, reduced distortion and unrivaled sound give you an edge in every video game where awareness of your surroundings is important. Footsteps have never been so clear. The first time we tried the headset was after Warzone 2’s latest major update, and we had to ask our friends if they’d made any major audio improvements with the update, since this was the first time we’d played the game since it was released. Testing our old headset confirmed that it was purely the headset that made the audio better and no changes were made to the game itself. Having good audio in Call of Duty isn’t something we’re spoiled for, so we can only imagine how much of an impact this has on the game for the esports community, as sound is far more important.
In the box you’ll find a 3.5mm AUX cable, e.g. for a PlayStation or Xbox controller, USB-A Lightspeed adapter with 3.5mm port, detachable microphone arm with foam windscreen, USB-A to C charging cable and soft storage bag. We’re not sure if the fact that Logitech offers an extra set of memory foam cloth earpads means the ones already on the headset will wear out quickly, but so far we haven’t seen any after 100 hours of use Signs we own the ear pads. Now, how long they will actually last remains to be seen.
The Logitech G Pro X2 is a great-sounding headset, but for those who love that part of the headset, there are a few features missing. We do miss the ability to change chat sounds versus game sounds on the fly, we miss the flip-to-mute feature, and we miss the ability to connect to Lightspeed and Bluetooth at the same time so we don’t miss an important call. On the other hand, these features aren’t too important for esports players or those looking for a good gaming headset.

Those worried about wireless capabilities can rest assured that there is absolutely no lag after getting used to the wired model, and the battery time is impressive, with 50(!) hours listed (and tested). The lack of features like ANC is certainly part of the reason for this, but again – this headset is made for gaming first and foremost. The only challenge we faced was actually remembering to charge it after a week of use.
The earphones are available now and retail for £249. We’ll let you decide if it’s worth it, but if you’re looking for a headphone with unique sound quality without the extra features, this is certainly a solid choice.
