Logitech G PRO X Review - The Best Mic On A Gaming Headset?
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 07. 2024
- The Logitech G PRO X gaming headset is pretty unique due to its integration of Blue Microphone technology! Yes, the Logitech + Blue Microphone collab we've all been waiting for is finally here! But does that make the PRO X the best gaming headset for 2019 and did Blue give them the best mic on any headset?

*CORRECTION: Both the PRO and PRO X pairs come with the USB dongle, and only the PRO X has the BLUE VOICE software built-in. You're essentially paying $29 more for the BLUE VOICE suite in G-HUB.
-D.
my G433 came with the dongle too
@FP - YT no the side note is to hear yourself. turn it off unless your testing it and setting it up
I'm stupid but does the new g pro and the g pro x mic's sound the same?
Yes, sidetone is the mic "feedback" that you can hear.
@@HardwareCanucks Wait the Pro comes with a dongle? Is that a new addition or something, because I currently use the G PRO Headset and I actually had to get a seperate usb soundcard/dongle thing (I can't live without sidetone, and no not the crappy windows sidetone). Did I misunderstand something?
5:51 mic test
CatONfire thanks kitty

@Ravens L I know and it's a shame. I'm having to replace my 2nd pair of MH751, the right ear cup went on my 1st pair and now the sound on the right ear cup on the 2nd pair keeps going quiet until I wiggle it around a bit and then it goes back to normal for a while. I love the sound quality and the mic quality on the MH751 but they need to do some serious quality control before I'll consider buying them again, such a shame.
@@ShevonSalmon Si
lifesaver
I'm loving how Logitech is going on this "minimalist" stylish design in their products lately. It's a breathe of fresh air from seeing all of the "gfuel-rgb-fortnite" flashy products.
@@stevewayda5893 wasnt It like 4/5 m Ago?
@@stevewayda5893
Oh yeah! lmao That headset is weird looking.
Yea, I've always hated the "XTREME GAMING 420 YOLO SWAG😎" aesthetic. Besides 9 year old crack heads who does it even appeal to?
More of just the G Pro line of products and a select few others
@TheFallenShadow bruh ur paying extra cash for the rgb
1:15 there's a hole on the USB dongle. Does it take 3.5mm in from another audio source?
yes
Can someone explain to me how it takes the audio in from another source please?
@@ryzrz3616 as a logitech g431 user, i use the usb dongle came with the headset to plug in my earphone sometime and on windows it will still show up as logitech g431. weird but it still works !
Can anyone help me out, can you connect the headphones to an external DAC and the mic to the PC via the Logitech DAC at the same time? Since its just 1 hole do I need to connect it straight to the Logitech DAC?
Here it is
This as a wireless headset and a proper microphone quality would be my dream.
astro a50 gen 4 ?? i hope
Yep! I got the G533 because I wanted a wireless headset!
yes, and USB-C charging port for that sweet, sweet PowerDelivery fast charging.
Jeremy Sandidge Same here! Great headset, the only thing that‘s bothering me though is the microphone quality and the overall cheap feel and clunkiness of it. But for everything else, it‘s just top notch with the sweet wireless-cherry on top of it.
DerTodesSamstag the size doesn’t bother me but you’re right I do think if they incorporated the BLUE microphone technology that the G533 would be the perfect headset. Or heck just make the G PRO X Wireless.
Thank you for including the GSP 300 comparison, and glasses comfort ❤️
2:36 You know you went to the right CZcamsr for a headset review when their home screen is a headset
pretty sure he just put that there to be in the background of his vid.. Doesnt look like a home screen wallpaper
I'm looking at the G Pros and the Phillips SHP9500 for gaming and also editing my videos. I plan to buy a Yeti Nano for my commentary when I live stream since the headphone/mic combo is far better quality than a headset.. Is it worth me spending that extra $30 for the X's if I'm already getting a separate mic for commentary or should I save that $30 towards the Yeti Nano? Also, what do you think about the SHP9500 compared to the G Pros. Appreciate your time and help :)
Finally a good looking headset from Logitech that doesn't look "gamified"
The G433 looked alright to me as a non-"gamified" product, but to each their own i guess.
One could argue that the original G Pro and G533 wireless model also don’t scream gaming headset
This is hyperx cloud 2 lol
The "g" in gpro is there gamer pinup of stuff
The Pro and Pro X looks SO ugly. The Logitech G Pro is the only headset that doesnt look 'gamer-fied' as it is all black and only has a silver "G" on either side of the headset with glossy , black plastic that says 'pro' on the top headband.
Just before I head out to buy a new headset, you drop this video. Perfect timing.
What are you picking up?
-D.
@@HardwareCanucks I actually really liked this headset - sadly Memory Express here seemed to be sold out so I'm going to hold out and wait for it. Thanks for the review! Great work as always.
@@kevanmorinphoto did you buy it and does it still work well?
Please help me:
I downloaded the ghub and connected my G PRO X, and i cant see all options. I can only see all the mic settings, and the volume of the headset. So no eq and no more sound settings… i tried it on a 2020 macbook pro big sur, and 2017 imac through bootcamp windows, both the same issue. I have already tried reinstalling and have looked everywhere for a solution…
@@stink4235 idk havent bought it yet but u probably need to put the dongle
Thanks to lockdown I found really good discount on it and I'm going to fetch it. Thanks for an awesome review and much love from Serbia!
Hey man so since you have experience with the g533 and pro x would you say sound wise they are par or is the pro x a bit better? Thanks from a fellow audiophile.
Logitech Cloud 2
not even close
@@GrandSil90 What ?
Yeah change the colours and replace the logo
i have a hyperx cloud II the mic is trash
yea, looks like they tried to make a better Cloud II
Thank you for speaking to the 'sidetone' feature. This is a must for me and lots of headsets don't have it.
how effective is the noise removal? Still looking for replacements on my already dying Asus Strix Pro headset with environmental noise cancelling
Nice to see that you are completely honest in your review, not every Tech channel is so transparent.
After closer inspection during your review; the G PRO has a 5 pole male connector to the headset, vs the Cloud Alpha's 4 pole male connector. Ive been experiencing cross talk and echo on my Alpha's at loud volumes. Seeing that the G PRO has a 5 pole connector makes me happy, will definitely pick one up. Using it in conjunction with my Astro MixAmp Pro Gen4.
i did not know starlord has youtube channel :)
Hahahhahaha
Arena Bola Studios :O
I know right I've always thought he looks exactly like him it's uncanny his twin
That’s what I was thinking
You do good work, always love videos by you guys. Keep it up!
Hope u read this .. is the g pro mic can use as external mic for smartphone ? Hope someone answer me .. need that mic badly for smartphone video recording ..
I love it when companies collaborate and utilize the best of their respective offerings because we get some really great outcomes. The design of these are awesome, they perform nice, and best of all, not make you look like a 12 year old RGB obsessed gamer. It has my vote :)
I like that you added the glasses thing. Most people don’t do that but for people like me it’s important
What settings were you using for the mic cause it sounds so great and need somewhere to start
Looking to buy a new headset, but looking at this, would it not be better to get the sennheiser hd559 with a modmic 4 as a gaming headset then the logitech G PRO X or any gaming headset in general around this pricerange? Have headsets evolved enough to surpass that kind of quality yet? I would like to know people's thoughts on this.
Note: started out with a hyper X cloud revolver S, but was not as impressed and would like to try out a different one.
I thought you sounded better without any preset active on that mic, less robotic sounding and more natural
Vin B I agree
true
I agree. I feel like it being louder with the custom preset could give the illusion of it sounding better, when in actuality it wasn't
Word
I agree! Is just a little quiet, but you can crank up the mic volume in the software, or windows
How will all the eq stuff work on a console? I have a PS4 and thinking about getting these but idk if I can fully use its potential. I feel like these are more geared towards pc players😕
That’s because they are.
Hi Demetri are you still recommend the cloud flight as wireless headset or there is better one
These editings are amazing!
Thank you for including those times you wear glasses coz I wear my eye glasses all the time.
yeah same. i hate when the heasphones hurt my glasses
If you prioritize mic quality then by a vmoda boom mic and like a cheap headset that supports a replaceable wire then u get the best of both worlds
My trusty gsp500's have finally died so am looking for a replacement and these look like a good deal.
Do you still recommend them a year later or is there a better model available now?
Any info greatly appreciated!
Love these videos, please could you do a video on the logitech g pro x vs the hyperx cloud alpha really need help deciding between the two XD
For everyone that's comparing this vs the mmx300v2 can you see the $200 difference ?
Thank you for doing a glasses comparison for the clamp force. Very much appreciated
did you buy it and does it still work well?
@@nooblife473 sorry just saw this. I didnt buy it, but I can vouch for the sennheiser game one (open back) headset. I can wear them for hours and not have issue. PC37X is basically the same thing as mine for less.
What DAC do you use? How do you hook up a headset with a mic and still use a DAC if there is only an audio connection and no MIC connection on the DAC?
I just got one of these yesterday ... but i am thinking to just get a replacement to the Sennheiser GSP350 they offer wide freq range which is probably way better than the standard 20- 20khz range.
would you recommend the GSP 350 instead of this ? or should i save up and get the GSP 600 ?
Which is better this or HyperX Cloud Alpha?
Love that it's wired. Wireless still has too much drawbacks. I wouldn't wanna find out my battery is about to die while being in a MP 2h race.
Good review, just got this headset but it won't connect to to g hub to chsnge the settings, did you have any issues with this?
does the bass on this comparable to G933/G633? any recommendations for good thumping bass gaming headset other than G933/G633?
ModMic should just jump in and develop a Wireless Headset with their mic quality.
Would be a dream ^^
If Modmic was bought out by Sennheiser or did a collab with them for a wireless headset that would be AWESOME
I have a g933 right now and it has some connection issues so I’m looking to get a new headset, would you recommend this or the hyperX Cloud revolver S
I would recommend the coolermaster mh751 + soundblaster omni
Get a REAL headset and not gaming
Dkgsa1212 any suggestions? I don’t need a mic, or any rgb, preferably black, i just want something with great sound quality and comfort for under $120, I’ve heard the sennheiser PC37X or whatever can do both
@@elijahtingler8044 Sennheiser HD 280 pro, some bass boost and they are perfect. You should have a dac/amp or a good soundcard tho
The g pro x sounds worse than the g933 imo returned it and getting a gsp 600 from sennheiser
Hi . I have a question about the microphone. Can I use the G-Pro microphone with other gaming headsets with the same 3.5 mm microphone jack input ?
Do you like these more than the Massdrop x Sennheiser PC37X? do you think they are better?
What got me sold was the fact that it was reviewed by Starlord
G Pro X > Cloud 2
Sidetone is an amazing feature and I love the Logitech Equalizer
@@Moh-cs5ck >mh752
I’m deciding what headset I should upgrade to and this one is one of them and I’m wondering if you have to have the blue voice software open for it to be effective might sound like stupid question but just wondering ?
Question , do u use soundboard when u test these ? i just got them today and they sound really flat , like overall flat sound .
got these headphones about a year ago. been getting compliments when playing online. really satisfied with my decision to buy these ones!
@@Wolfaz95 holding up very good still. . Definately can recommend these. They come with 2 different sets of earcups so u can change the leather ones if youre like me whose ears tend to sweat after a gaming sesh.
What headset did you purchase
Oh, a new HyperX headset! Wait a minute, it's not a HyperX headset!
Hi! Thanks for that! But I saw an Amazon there is a "2nd Generation" did you used this one? Or is there No diffrence?
Hey can you guys reply, will you recommend this over cloud alpha? Or if i havea steelseries siberia 800 should i get this?
thanks good work. can you please do Logitech G PRO X vs Sennheiser game one
Game one: as an owner, it has garbage build quality. And mine is not faulty either. It sounds pretty clean and clear but it produces a hiss. And also, the sliders broke on the first day of use. Idk.
But these are cheaper and way more bang for your buck. And if you want bass, the game one is not an option. I cannot feel bass, so it makes sounds sound a lil empty accompanied by the open back.
Star lord decided to make a tech channel after defeating Thanos
Whats up with all the shitty star lord comments... this guy was on youtube before guardians of the galaxy released lmfao
I have a question. Is this Blue Voice functionality can be transferred to Audacity or other external tool for recording voice ? For example if i want to take one of the presets will it be the same inside the Blue logitech software and external software like Audacity ? Should i edit after that ?
With my current headset I have issues with the mic being too quiet. Will the dongle included in the g pro (not X) help with that ?
Any decent headphones with a removable 3.5mm jack and a V Moda Boompro is still the best setup though.
Would be nice if Logitech makes a wireless version of the G Pro and G Pro X
You’d lose microphone quality
exactly
hey what do you think sennıesher one vs pc37x vs gsp300 vs Logitech G PRO X which is best
Maybe a another version cause they need to charge I hate charging things
TRG_CoScripted yeah the only thing i would go wireless is mouse
it seems that the blue voice software feature works with other mics from other headsets, where can i download it?
Does the splitter allow you to connect to a GoXLR, which has a separate aux port for both mic and headset?
Thanks Dmitriy !
But the review almost was all about the "blue" MIc !... what about the SOUND !! gaming software ? how does it performs ? the positional and environmental sound ?
Can you elaborate a bit more into it ? for us here, we thought we were going to see a bit more into it in your review but you just mention it really fast ( software ) and didn't went into detail and for us here it's important a bit more than a mic.
Will be appreciated, to make your review more complete .
regards
GBG
The only thing different from this and the G Pro is the blue mic. So go watch the Logitech G Pro review.
BConText bad directional sound like very very bad
when you start to stretch the headset Im beginning to have anxiety attack
is the logitech g pro x mic and audio better then the blackshark v2 pro i want to buy one of these but cant decide
what would you pick for pc gaming mainly play games for hunting footsteps and advantages of where people are at like tarkov. looking at g pro x or turtle beach elite atlas aero which one ?
i really appreciate the g pro x sound profile being very neutral, everything you hear sounds very natural and true to the creators intention. Coming from a pair of astro a10's they had significantly more bass which sounded very pleasing for music but was very over emphasised. Also Dolby Atmos helps with audio quality and spacial audio on xbox and pc
Im thinking of upgrading from A10s, is it worth the upgrade?
@@odysseyelias3570 I mean the audio sounds more authentic in terms of how the developers intended but the Astro has a better mic in my opinion. G pro x isn’t bad it just doesn’t have as much bass in your voice. But the reason I like the G pro x is for comfort. Which the astros didn’t have (A10s)
Non-x verison includes sound-card as well, Dimitry. The only difference between X and Non-x is ear pads, bag and 2nd cable
That's correct. Thanks for pointing it out. I thought it was not included because otherwise you're paying $29 for the BLUE Voice software inside G-HUB.
-D.
Hi
Direct question :) ! To play Warzone on Xbox series X and take advantage of the sound quality, which one is better?
Thanks😎
Just got these the sound great but the mic wont pick up. I have tried everything and nothing works. Apparently its a frequent problem for this specific headphone. Any ideas on how to fix this?
I have the Logitech G PRO gaming headset. Out of the box it looked and felt great. However, because of the shape of the cups, any head movement would create a break in the seal and diminish the sound. The second issue that I had is an issue that I've noticed with other headsets that have a similar mic design and placement. I like to play both games and music loudly. When I did, anyone who I was playing games with at the time would be able to hear every single thing that was coming out of my headset in their headset. I was told that it sounded like I was playing in front of a tv. I've had the same exact problem with my hyper x could alphas, hyper x cloud Xs and my set of corsair hs50s. I was so frustrated because I love the way the G PRO drivers sound but I felt like I couldn't use them while playing with others. That was until I found a solution that has been working out perfectly for me that addressed the two issues that I had with the headset. For the earcups I took the stock g pro cushions off and replaced them with (what are arguably the most comfortable ear cushions on the market) the cushions from my hyper x cloud alphas. They fit my ears much better now, they're very comfortable and I never have an issue with the seal breaking anymore. I replaced the stock mic with the v moda boom pro and not only does the mic sound amazing, it doesn't pick up any game audio even at high volume. Now, I absolutely love this headset. The v moda boom pro was $30 and a set of hyper x cloud alpha ear cushions from the hyper x site was $10.
That's interesting that you were able to make a frankestined headset and it worked out well. How did it age? Planning to upgrade my AT m20x
you have tha problem with the G pro or G pro X ??? (Aksing in case you made a typo)
Sound like you're the pilot on a plane speaking 6:38
when you turn on the blue voice function does it save onto the headset? so that if i turn the function on and move to my consoles or phone will the blue voice function still work?
compare it with the HyperX Cloud 2 or the alpha
is it better to use the the 2 jacks or use the dongle for better sound?
I don’t know which one to get hyperx cloud mix or Logitech g pro x ??
The GSP300 with the dongle sounds better than all of them...
Do a comparison between the g pro x and cloud alpha plz
^ This please, including microphone tests. Thanks
up
I have a question about the headset mic: How do we switch the mic since the mic is from the the pc wire to the detachable mic
would you say this is a good fit for xbox without the soundcard ? and better then the alpha pro ?
The new hyper x cloud 2 with logitech branding..
Can i juse the usb hub Sound card with a PlayStation 4 ?😊👊😊
Nope u need software for dat
Hi when using my presets and playing, do I need to leave the application open while playing for the presets to effect? Or simply close it and play?
No you can close it. You only need to open it if you want to change some settings.
@hardwarecanucks I’ve seen other reviews of this headset where the microphone dose not sound as good are you doing anything specifically different to make the mic sound better for instance plugging in straight to mother board etc pls let me know thinking if getting one of these
somehow I feel like the GSP300 with that blue voice tweak sounds the best
Logitech and HyperX had a baby
it inherited a blue mic gene
Can you use and insert external other microphone such as condenser or dynamic mic directly to it?
Which pair has the best sound isolation (closed back) - Logitech G PRO X or HyperX cloud / alpha ?
"Logitech acquired blue microphones."
I now understand why their products took a $30 price jump on Amazon recently.
I think they bought them over a year ago by now. To lazy to check the actual date...
@@blahorgaslisk7763 yeah they purchased them at the end of July last year
this or hyperx cloud revolver s?
CoolerMaster MH751
This duh
Hey Dimitri! Could you provide some advice? I have an old Corsair HS50 that needs replacing and had the doubt of getting the Logitech G Pro X (wired) or the Corsair HS70 Bluetooth. What are your thoughts? I use the headphones daily at the office for music or online meetings & presentations, and at home for console online gaming. Your review here is very informative but I would like to know what you think about the HS70 BT in regards to sound, mic and connectivity vs. the G Pro X (wired). Thanks! BTW keep up the good work!
does that surround work better with this one? my g633 has been kind of annoying for a good time now, the voice audio seems to try playing in speaker that does not exist so I get no sound at all.
Wow I was expecting an actual blue mic on the headset....the fact that it is just software is disappointing
Its impossible for such a small mic be as good as the big ones
@@DrKleiner0815 You are wrong. Some of the most detailed microphones on earth are small like this.
Check the video "DPA 6060 vs Sanken COS-11d"
@@zyxyuv1650 what do you think about the g pro x mic. I think its good.
@@DrKleiner0815 The mic itself is pretty awful and crunchy. When you apply a compressor and limiter and EQ-ing and LF rolloff, you can make any old mic sound good. So it's mainly the Blue Voice software that you're getting. And that requires running the Logitech gaming hub on Windows. So it's not gonna work on any of your game consoles, on your macbook, etc, which makes the headset pretty limited. If you want it to actually sound exceptionally high quality, then you can use a lavalier mic with your own preamp and outboard fx and ADC.
@@zyxyuv1650 actually what ive understood sofar is, after you adjust the blue voice settings on that usb dongle, you can save them and plug the dongle on another pc and it doesnt even has to have the software, the dongle is doing everything. So i think this way it still could be a good alternative for players
When did chris pratt started a review channel?
Just pre-ordered mine, so stoked!
where is the driver fot new G Pro headset, mine is still not working, in Logitech G Hub, it says, connect your logitech G gear
Very nice now Logitech needs to make a wireless version now that would be awesome as I am in the market for a wireless headset. :)
Not sure how it compares with the Pro/Pro X, but I've been using G533's for a few months now and love them. Only gripe is the massive dongle and no bluetooth.
Arctic 9 are god tier
The G Pro X has a really "streamy" sound that the original Pro doesn't have. I think the OG Pro mic sounds better
So will the blue voice work on this headset mic if i plugged it into my ps4 via the usb soundcard?
what about quality sound? better than g633?
Damn! This is literally what I have been waiting for., I was about to spend 130 on a mic and 70 on headhphones, but now I don't need to. As always good video!!
If you can live with the drawbacks I'd advise you to go mic and headphones. You will definetly get better audio, but lose the software stuff.
Get a studio level headphone + modmics.
Sennheiser hd 598 is one of the best for the price,get it if you can afford it
If you were planning on spending 130 for a mic this would probably disappoint you.
Cameron Keogh bro get the sennheiser pc37x from drop they are the best gaming headsets around
The cooler master MH 751 has a better mic, and it´s probably more comfortable than the Logitech G Pro, I still don´t know how Dimitry hasn´t reviewed the MH751, I mean they even did an add for them for god's sake!
Totally agree with you. But I think because CM is a sponsor he doesn't want to come across as a shill. If he reviews it, it's gonna get a solid recommendation so it's tricky position to be in
i agree i just got mine a few days ago its super good better then my old G35 and i got it for only 50 euros.
Who pays the most i guess.
Z reviews did a solid review on that headset, impressing an audiophile is high praise for CM lol
To be honest, I highly doubt anything is more comfortable than the mh751 currently, at least in terms of gaming headsets and not radically differently purposed headphones. The earpads are like little smooth clouds on my head, almost addicting to touch when I'm not wearing them.
