Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Headphones Review

The Logitech G PRO X 2 look similar to their predecessor, the Logitech G PRO X Wireless LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset. They have a metallic accent on each ear cup with the manufacturer's logo at the center. Unlike their predecessor, they also have hinges, which helps the cups accommodate your unique head shape. They come in two color variants: 'Black' and 'White'.

These headphones have a comfortable fit. They come with two pairs of memory foam ear pads: one set of cloth and the other, leatherette. The headphones don't clamp too tightly onto your head and won't apply significant pressure if you wear glasses. The ear cups are spacious and have good depth, and the hinges on the yoke help give the headphones a better range of motion to fit your unique head shape.

These headphones have very simple controls. They're all located on the left ear cup and are easy to use. There's a button to turn the headphones on and off, an infinite volume wheel, and a mic mute button. There's a red ring to let you know when you're muted and differing tones to let you know when you've changed the mic mute setting. The volume wheel also has a chime to indicate max volume, though there isn't one for min volume. It's easy to accidentally move the control wheel when adjusting the headset, so you'll want to be careful when touching it.

These headphones aren't very portable, but that's to be expected from gaming headphones. They're big, bulky, and take up a lot of room, whether you leave them on your desk or couch. The cups can swivel to lay flat, but that doesn't make them smaller in footprint.

These over-ears come with a soft cloth pouch to help protect them from dust when not in use. It has a zipper to keep the pouch closed, but it won't protect the headphones from water or impact damage.

The Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED have great build quality. They're made of steel, aluminum, and plastic, making them feel solid. They also come with two pairs of differently-covered memory foam ear pads. While the Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset's yoke-only design was an issue for users as it could break over time, this model's hinge puts less pressure on the yokes and allows them to pivot to fit your head better. However, we don't know if this design holds up over time. You can see a side-by-side comparing both generations here.

These over-ears have a fairly stable fit. They'll stay in place while you're gaming at your desk or couch. However, if you move around a lot, they can easily fall off your head.

Compared to the Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset, which have a more neutral sound profile, these headphones deliver more bass with a touch of extra warmth and boom to help make gameplay more exciting. Their dip in the low to mid-treble weakens and dulls vocals and instruments. You can fine-tune their sound to your liking using their companion software's graphic EQ.

The frequency response consistency of these headphones is okay. They're prone to inconsistencies in audio delivery, and you'll especially notice a drop in bass if you wear glasses or have thick hair, as this can break the headphones' seal on your head. You'll need to ensure a good fit each time you use them to get a more consistent sound.

The Logitech G PRO X 2 have excellent bass accuracy. They have a touch of extra bass, adding extra thump, rumble, and punch to your audio. There's adequate warmth and boom, which helps emphasize footsteps and other sound effects in action-packed games like VALORANT.

These over-ears have excellent mid accuracy. The response is flat, save for a dip in the high-mid, which weakens vocals and instruments. However, these sounds are still in the mix and won't be drowned out by the bass. That means the soundtrack or sound effects don't drown out voices if you play dialogue-centric games like Disco Elysium.

The treble accuracy of these cans is passable. The response is underemphasized and takes a dip between the low to mid-treble range. As a result, vocals and instruments a veiled, while sibilants like S and T sounds are a little dull.

The Logitech G PRO X 2 have satisfactory peaks and dips performance. The largest peaks are in the treble range, as an uneven low-treble turns the upper harmonics of vocals and instruments harsh and veiled, while a peak in the mid-treble makes sibilants like S and T sounds piercing.

Across all of the headphones we've tested from Logitech, this manufacturer has shown good quality control and ergonomics, which are factors that play into driver matching and the placement of objects like voices in the stereo image. Even though imaging varies between units, the Logitech PRO X 2's are well-matched in amplitude, and frequency response, which help ensure a stable stereo image. A small peak in the phase response's low-mid can skew audio like male voices to the left. The virtual surround feature can help re-center the voice, but it also makes audio sound a bit boxy.

The passive soundstage is sub-par. These are closed-back headphones, so they struggle to create an open, spacious sound. Although sound also seems like it's coming from inside your head rather than from speakers in the room around you, the soundstage still feels wide and natural.

These headphones are compatible with DTS Headphone:X 2.0 via their companion software, designed to make your audio feel more immersive. Using this feature makes the bass sound boxy and nudges voices to the back of the mix, below other sounds in the mix like bass. These sounds are better centered in the soundstage, so they're more accurately localized than when the feature is off. There's also a visual representation of each virtual speaker, which you can customize the volume of each individually. However, playing with these settings didn't improve the boxy-sounding default virtual soundstage.

The Logitech G PRO X 2 have a great weighted harmonic distortion performance. There's a peak at normal volumes between the low to mid-treble, but it's minor and is hard to hear with real-life content. The frequencies fall within good levels, producing clear and pure audio reproduction.

These are the settings used to test these headphones. Our results are only used in this configuration.

The Logitech PRO X 2 have poor noise isolation. They rely on their passive capabilities to block out background sound. As a result, they don't isolate you from any of the low rumble of car engines from an open window and have a hard time reducing ambient chatter. On the upside, they do a better job of cutting down the high-pitched hum of AC units.

These headphones have an okay leakage performance. Leakage is mostly concentrated in the mid range, which sounds full-bodied. If you're gaming with the volume cranked up, others around you can hear it.

The boom mic's recording quality is okay but is a step down from their predecessor. Your voice sounds bassy and unnatural. While you'll still be heard clearly, your voice is a bit robotic.

The boom mic's noise handling performance is outstanding and significantly better than the Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset. The mic can separate your voice from background noise very well. Even if you're talking near an open window with a lot of noise outside, background sound is almost completely cut, ensuring your voice sounds clear and easy to understand.

The battery performance of these over-ears is outstanding. The manufacturer advertises them to last 50 hours continuously, much longer than the Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset. We measured 97 hours, though, which is significantly higher. However, the manufacturer doesn't elaborate on how they test for battery life, and it can vary depending on several factors, including volume level. As a result, we will be retesting the battery life to recheck our measurements. They're equipped with an auto-off timer to help conserve battery life, and you can adjust it in the app.

The Logitech G HUB software offers an outstanding amount of customization features. You can access a graphic EQ and presets and select user-made presets to help you customize their sound. You can adjust the mic and master volume, use the surround sound feature, and tweak the sidetone. You can check the headphones' battery life, too. However, changes made in the software don't save onto the headphones. As a result, you won't be able to benefit from features such as a customized EQ if you're using the headphones on consoles, which is a little disappointing.

One of the biggest changes in performance coming from the Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset is Bluetooth compatibility. While these over-ears support Bluetooth, you can't use it and the wireless dongle simultaneously, which is disappointing. You can't use Bluetooth or the dongle at the same time as using an analog connection either, as this wired connection requires that the headphones are turned off to work.

Using a Bluetooth connection on PC results in high latency, causing your audio and visuals to fall out of sync. On the upside, audio lag on iOS and Android devices is much lower, helping to reduce lipsync mismatch. That said, some apps compensate for latency differently.

The Logitech G PRO X 2 have great non-Bluetooth wireless connectivity. Latency falls within good levels, ensuring that your audio and visuals are synched while gaming.

Unlike their predecessor, these headphones support an analog connection and come with a 1/8" TRRS cable. However, you'll need to have the headphones turned off to connect via analog. A USB-A to USB-C cable is also included in the box, but it's only for charging and updating the headphones.

The Logitech PRO X 2 can connect to PCs via analog, Bluetooth, and non-Bluetooth wireless with full audio and mic compatibility. However, you can only use one connection at a time.

You can wirelessly connect these headphones to PlayStation consoles via their dongle with full compatibility. You can also plug their analog cable into your controller's AUX port for full audio and mic support.

You can only plug these headphones into your Xbox controller's AUX port via analog. On the upside, you'll have full audio and mic support.

These headphones come with a wireless USB dongle that allows you to use the headphones wirelessly on PCs as well as PlayStation consoles. There's a port that lets you connect a device like an iPod to it so that you can play audio when using the dongle.
