Title: Great headphones across the board, including 1 unexpected (using with phones)
Review: I will not add a repeat of the already positive and thorough reviews listed here about this product. I agree with them. I take my sound seriously, having been a DJ and in bands in my youth; and canât go a day without music. I was looking for a replacement wireless headset for my computer (Windows 11 laptop) use â music, video, and gaming. I also wanted something I could Zoom with in a quality fashion, as well as reasonable battery life, and comfort was a big factor this time. (I both wear glasses, and have a large head, and this has been an issue with other headphones.) I didnât want active noise-cancelling, but some degree of isolation is important. There is also a âwork aroundâ for the lack of Bluetooth which I will go in to at the end of summary feedback.After a couple weeks of a LOT of research and comparison from headphones ranging from $50 to $400, I had narrowed it down to half a dozen headsets, and the challenging part was comfort - hard to verify that online. I walked into a retail store to try on the headsets, prepared to purchase them on the spot if they fit the comfort criteria. They had the WIRED version, but not the wireless. I chose the Logitech G PRO X, came home, and ordered the wireless version, which showed up the next day.Comfort: Ok â it feels like liquid heaven. These fit and feel wonderful. Overall, they unit is heavier than my last pair (which was mostly plastic), but it doesnât FEEL heavy. It fits softly AROUND the ear, and I donât feel it. I wear headphones the majority of the day, and above any other factor, comfort and fit can take the joy away more than any other feature. The oval shape is perfect. (Any company still making circular headsets need to go back and look at the shape of an earâ¦) They come with an alternate set of material, so the owner can select whichever feels best to them.Sound Quality: Very good. Sharp, precise, and clear. Candidly: Does NOT pack the low end âKickâ of my previous (and cheaper) headphones, but the bass is still there⦠itâs the difference between âhearingâ the low end, and âfeeling itâ. That being said, turning up the low end to âfeel itâ on headphones isnât the best thing for your ears in the long run, so â hey. The software that comes with it does allow a significant amount of modification with both pre-settings and custom settings for EQ, and other effects, and it is painless to download and install. I listen from Rock to Classical, and happy with both.Microphone: Also good â by itself straight out of the box, the sound was a little on the âthinâ side, BUT, with the customization of settings the software provides, itâs amazing. You can record a brief clip of your voice, loop it, and play with the settings until you sound like an announcer for an upcoming movie. Very cool. I check out microphone quality with the people I talk with, and they signed off it as âGood!â â so, worked there.Battery Life: Good â When fully charged and monitoring them as I use them, it has been accurately showing 24-25 hoursâ worth of life. I use them long, and hard each day, and could imagine a situation where I could use up to 16 hours of that⦠and still have battery to spare. I have yet to fully test their recharging capability, but initial reaction seems to be that it charges back to a full charge pretty fast. Candidly, no worries in this department for my needs. (You can still use them with the USB power cord charging up, so running out of juice really isn't an issue.)Wireless feature: OK, so this comes with a proprietary 2.4 wireless USB dongle that sticks out an inch and a half, and you have to deal with it (as a laptop user â desktop wouldnât matter.) One of the specific issues I was having with my previous Bluetooth headset was that I was running into interference and sound dropping after use, as well as the audio becoming slightly off sync with video after a while, and â neither of those are acceptable⦠(which prompted the search for a replacement/upgrade.) Bluetooth is convenient but has its own pros and cons. The 2.4 system of this is painlessly plug-and-play. Just stuck the dongle in, turned on the headphones, and they were instantly fully active. Range of 2.4 is typically better than Bluetooth range, and this has definitely been proven out. I can wander around the house a bit again, which is nice, as compared to just across the room.WORKAROUND FOR LACK OF BLUETOOTH:As the G PRO X Wireless DOES NOT have any Bluetooth support NOR does it have a jack for a plain old cable, there were two aspects of this headset which were not 100% in sync with my wish list. (Listen up Logitech!) I would always like to have the opportunity to have a traditional 3.5 jack to manually wire in a headset. You just never know when something is going to happen, battery, interference⦠but the show must go on. Without that jack, it means that I have to maintain an entire backup set of headphones. Not IDEAL, but doable. I would hope to never need it, but would like to have the option. However, here simply is no jack, nor does the USB function in that fashion either. Call me old school, but I like a backup, even if it adds 49 cents worth of parts to the cost. Not a deal killer however. Would have let me use it easily with my phone however...The bigger trade off was the lack of Bluetooth (COMBINED with the lack of a wire.) All indications were â (even saw it listed in various reviews) that this meant that the headphone is limited in use to computers and consoles with regular USB ports⦠SPECFICALLY, that I would lose the ability to wear my awesomely comfortable headphones while on my (Android based) phone⦠meaning that I needed to manage yet ANOTHER set of headphones, earbuds, etc., for taking phone calls. (I read reviews where this was called out as a specific shortcoming factor.) THIS IS NOT THE CASE!!! I came across a reference from a user who used a simple USB-C Male to USB Female adapter (available cheap) to connect the dongle to their Android phone⦠and I have done the same, and the headphones DO WORK fine for taking phone calls from my phone. Yes, I have a bit of a weird contraption hanging out of the bottom of my phone â but, I am beyond happy with that. The phone functionality was also plug and play (actually FAST and LESS cumbersome to set up than a Bluetooth headset.) Plugged in an adapter (<$4 to $9), plugged the 2.4 dongle into that, and turned the headsets on. Listened to music, sounded great. The volume wheel controlled the volume on my phone. Make a call, sounds great.Thought it was going to be a trade-off, but now I can use the same set of headphones on my laptop and phone, and in the end is actually LESS hassle than trying to share Bluetooth between the two. Just unplug from one and plug in to the other, and off you go. STILL overjoyed by this. Candidly, DO NOT understand why Logitech doesnât include a simple USB C Male to USB Female with the package (probably would cost them less than a dollarâ¦), and eliminate âdoesnât work with phonesâ from the reviews of being a lack of a feature. Works fine with my android phone with its USB-C port.SO â if THIS aspect has been a reason why a person might decide against it, donât let it stop you. Just spend a couple more bucks for the adapter when you order the headphones, and you can hook an Android phone at least to them. Hope this is helpful, was almost the deciding factor as to whether or not I purchased them⦠and am NOW completely happy that I did.

Title: Coming from a long-time Arctis 7/Sennheiser user, hopefully this helps clear up some of the reviews!
Review: I don't write many reviews anymore, and I wanted to find out myself why there were so many mixed or bad reviews. I've been a long time Arctis 7 user, and also came from many other headsets such as Razer BlackShark V2 Pro; including audiophile sets such as Sennheiser 598SR, Philips SHP 9500/Fidelio X2, etc. My wife got me a GPW for my bday a while back, which I'm in love with-- normally I bash Logitech products/service, though I came from previous Logitech products and still use a MX Master 3 etc.Anyway, back on topic... I bought these because 1) Wireless is too clean and convenient to pass up, which is why I've been using my fine-tuned Arctis 7 with SS Engine EQ (even used Peace/Equalizer APO at one point). 2) I don't like too many software suites, and wanted to stay within the GHub (haven't had any issues). 3) I paid attention to the positive reviews for this and was super intrigued, plus I had an Amazon gift card to use, hehe.What I read about hissing and interference, and most of these bad reviews-- I work in IT, and there's a high probability of it being mostly user error. Keep in mind, this is on PC-- I don't know if there are more issues on console, etc. but pretty sure these were made for PC first. The surround sound is definitely worse than the Arctis 7, as it is very muddy. I do enjoy the auto-switching of sound profiles similar to SS Engine's. For general use for the most part, I recommend turning off surround sound, and just running the natural "Flat" EQ-- I prefer this genuine stereo sound, but feel free to mess around with other EQs. For the mic portion, I did notice slightly more static at higher gains-- most mics are like this without a good DAC or sound card. I don't use a DAC anymore, nor do I have an external sound card-- I found that the "Broadcaster" and "FM Station" EQs for the mic were best; didn't need to tweak any other settings. When I did, there was slightly more noticeable noise, but not terrible. The mic beats the Arctis 7 straight up... it's not as terrible as what others have reported, or from some of the YouTube videos I've seen. Again, user error, I don't know what extra tweaks they're doing under Advanced settings, but using either Broadcaster or FM Station with Blue Voice enabled sounds great to me at around 88-90 gain. YMMW, and keep in mind other factors such as wireless interference, RGB lighting, etc. can all cause static, so keep that in mind and keep the dongle away from any devices that are prone to interfere; use an extension cable if you need to isolate the dongle.I mainly play FPS shooters like CS:GO, Apex Legends, and listen to a lot of music, but these are primarily for gaming. I really have no complaints, except that I wish the mic was retractable. I like my headphones more open for that nicer soundstage, so I run the fabric ear cushions as opposed to leather. I'm glad they included this because with the two pairs of Arctis 7s that I had, I purchased separate cushions for them ($25+/pair). I never used the Arctis 7 wired, so I didn't care that the Logi's can only run wireless. The battery life is also superior to the Arctis 7, by far; GHub also works a hell of a lot better than SS Engine, surprisingly. Again, I moved away from Logi minus their office line, and was hoping to be let down by these... but they have not disappointed. I can't find a reason to deduct a star, and I don't understand what these people are complaining about regarding the low volume... I'm guessing maybe they're console, or not checking everything correctly/not using GHub properly. The volume knob has no stopping point like the Arctis 7, but the overlay is great and the dial feels good with some resistance. And who uses chat mix anyway? It's trash and not necessary. With the Arctis 7, I also had to use VoiceMeeter Banana. Though I kinda like the SteelSeries input/output dongle/receiver, I rather have less cables; also rather not have to run VoiceMeeter Banana just to improve mic quality etc. which sometimes also caused static. The sound is just really balanced on these on all counts, and the mic is crisp and clear (a lot of the EQ profiles for the mic are meh; just use the ones I mentioned above). Also, try to keep input volume around 55-70, and boost with limiter or compression. Otherwise, if input volume (gain) too high, itâll pick up extra background/noises.Anyway, thanks for the read, and hope this helps you guys and gals (and clears up some of the indecisiveness from the mixed reviews!). Hope Logitech keeps improving from here. Keep calm, and game on-- cheers!

Title: Great gaming headset
Review: Good for games but not very loud for music, but TONS of mixing options to make it sound exactly like how you want when you download the app. Gaming sounds are fantastic, fully surround sound with directional hearing. I just wish they were louder.

Review: Comprei de presente para o meu namorado e ele amou, como ele já tinha o mouse, ficou mais fácil de configurar, pois é preciso baixar o app para configurar, e ele já tinha instalado. No aplicativo existem várias pré-definições de configuração para cada tipo de jogo, ele encontrou um perfeito para o jogo que está jogando. Ele gostou do isolamento acústico e disse que começou jogar melhor depois do headset, rsrs ahhh, a bateria dura bastante, outra coisa que pesquisei bastante antes de comprar é a questão do conforto já que ele usa óculos, e ele achou super confortável e nem sente incômodo. O custo é um pouco salgado, mas achei que valeu. ð

Review: Estou escrevendo esse review após 2 meses de uso.Todas as reviews que eu via não eram úteis suficiente. Eram todos baseados em opiniões rasas falando "é ruim" ou "é bom" e geralmente emitidas por pseudo-analistas-streamers-gamers. As demonstrações não eram totalmente reais por conta da edição de vÃdeo e as opiniões eram contaminadas por uso de Headsets wired.Após ler e ver toneladas de reviews de Headsets Wireless, resolvi escrever o meu e esclarecer até pra quem tem as mesmas necessidades que eu tenho. Eu vim de um Headset Microsoft Lx-3000 (conexão USB), que usava pra jogar e trabalhar, ou seja, um Headset mediano que atendia minhas necessidades.Meu uso:Eu estive procurando um Headset Wireless por bastante tempo por 2 motivos (logicamente com a mesma qualidade ou próxima do Headset com fios).1. Necessitava de um Headset em que pudesse me levantar da cadeira e andar um pouco enquanto estou em reuniões de trabalho (como estou muito tempo em Home Office é legal levantar um pouco).2. Queria um Headset em que eu não ficasse esbarrando ou ficasse com a sensação de fios pendurados enquanto estivesse jogando.Por esses motivos todos acima, principalmente das reviews inúteis que vi, vou fazer a minha baseada nos critérios abaixo:--------------------------------SOM:-NITIDEZUma das dúvidas que sempre tenho é se o som é nÃtido. Quando digo sobre nitidez é o quanto um som é lÃmpido, ou seja, um som que não seja abafado do qual você não consegue nem mesmo distinguir a voz das pessoas (sem considerar a qualidade do vÃdeo e sem controles adicionais).O som é bem nÃtido nas configurações padrão e não fica com aquele som parecido com "som de ligação de telefone discado". Os fones mais antigos tinham essa caracterÃstica pela tecnologia não estar totalmente madura, tornando o som com perda de qualidade e com mais caracterÃstica de "telefone", mas o receptor 2.4ghz ajuda bastante nisso.Não dá pra comparar com Headsets com fio, principalmente os que são mais profissionais, há uma perda de qualidade, porém para um cara que não trabalha com som como eu, é pouquÃssimo perceptÃvel... mas lembre-se: meu foco é mobilidade com a qualidade igual ou semelhante ao que eu usava (que também não era headset profissional).-VOLUMEA intensidade do som é algo que muita gente não leva em consideração alguns pontos. Muito se depende do tipo de conteúdo que está se consumindo no momento... principalmente vÃdeos. Muitos já devem ter se deparado com um vÃdeo extremamente baixo onde a gente precisa aumentar até o último volume e logo em seguida ter que baixá-lo porque o vÃdeo seguinte era muito alto.O volume é bem cadenciado neste Headset. O que eu quero dizer com isso? Quero dizer que não é possÃvel aumentar demais mas também não é um volume tão baixo. Há de se considerar que é precisso lembrar aos mais hardcores que o Headset não é amplificador e que também há o fato limitador da bateria, não é ligado a uma fonte de energia (tomada), etc. à projetado para ser wireless. Embora essa seja a caracterÃstica é muito satisfatório o volume.-CONTROLESNesta parte não sei dizer tanto porém há muitos controles. Há equalizadores personalizados no software da Logitech e várias tecnologias embutidas. Ajustei de uma forma que ficasse agradável aos meus ouvidos.--------------------------------MICROFONE-NITIDEZ DO SOMEsse é o ponto mais contraditório de todos os reviews que já vi. Ninguém conseguiu demonstrar de forma satisfatória qual é o verdadeiro som. Só consegui ouvir o som verdadeiro do microfone quando um amigo me disse que estava usando este headset e falando comigo pelo Discord.Não acredite nos reviews pseudo-gamers. Eles usam microfones que estão muito fora da realidade da grande maioria, sendo microfones profissionais.A nitidez do PRO X é muito satisfatória para se comunicar em jogos e trabalhar. Para fazer vÃdeos talvez não seja o ideal (como é a realidade dos pseudo-gamers) mas para trabalhar e jogar é muito satisfatório.O som da voz não fica como se estivéssemos com fones bluetooth ou mesmo em um telefone convencional. Fica com uma boa qualidade e totalmente nÃtido.à importante também lembrar que o volume da sua voz também depende de ajustes do sistema operacional (que muitas vezes interfere pois tem configurações automáticas) e também do software que estará usando o microfone (Skype, Discord, etc).Outra coisa importante é sempre manter o firmware, através do G HUB (software da Logitech), atualizado. Isso proporciona constantes melhorias no som. Alguns dos vÃdeos mais antigos mencionam que conforme o firmware foi sendo atualizado a qualidade do som foi melhorando e este pode ser um dos motivos pelos quais os vÃdeos mais antigos davam um review pior para este headset.--------------------------------ESTRUTURAA estrutura é bem robusta sendo as hastes que seguram as conchas de metal bem resistente (diferentemente das de plástico do Microsoft Lx-3000 que eu usava) o que já dá uma boa segurança na hora de usar.Microfone tem conexão P2 (aqueles conectores de fone tradicionais de "pininho") e é destacável. Na hora de transportar em uma mochila é muito útil pois eu sempre me preocupava de acabar quebrando em outros headsets em que não era destacável. Além de disso ele é totalmente articulável. Tem uma estrutura de metal em que podemos dobrar para qualquer direção (tipo aquelas estruturas de metal segmentadas, que eu informalmente chamo de "cobrinha").Existem botões na concha esquerda do Headset, sendo elas de liga e desliga, botão de Mute e "rodinha" de volume. Todas elas ficam em uma posição agradável e é bem intuitivo depois das primeiras usadas do Headset. Detalhe para a roda de volume, que é infinita, não tem uma posição fixa de término, o que é bastante útil pois se tem um controle muito melhor.--------------------------------CARREGAMENTO / BateriaAinda na concha esquerda, tem a conexao USB-C para carregamento, que tem um detalhe MUITO IMPORTANTE. A posição não é tão boa, porém é possÃvel fazer o carregamento do Headset ao mesmo tempo em que usamos, o que a maioria dos headsets não faz.A Bateria dura tranquilamente mais de 10 horas seguidas e com energia ainda de sobra. Por experiência própria trabalhando com ele e escutando música já teve dias em que precisei carregar apenas depois de 2 dias (logicamente com minha rotina de uso).-------------------------------ConclusãoEu fiquei realmente muito satisfeito com este Headset. Na época comprei pela Amazon mesmo e estava tendo um desconto pequeno (mas desconto é desconto né rs) que ficava por 1299,00.à um preço relativamente alto... acredito que poderia ser um pouco mais barato, porém pelas funcionalidades que ele entrega estou bem satisfeito por enquanto.
