From what I read, the major advantage of X2 over X (as well as most Arctis, Cloud and so on) headsets is no white noise/hiss in idle and in quiet audio. Hiss/static is a major issue for people who're sensitive to it, and it's very common in wireless headphones. Have you tested for anything like that?
the hiss on my X drives me mad when nothing is playing. i tried every wireless headset i could from corsair, razer, hyper x and steelseries. all had hiss. some worse than others. i ended up sticking with the X because i found it to have the best audio and comfort for my needs and the hiss wasnt as bad as some others. but i gave up my quest before the X2 released and i just use airpods when im not gaming. if anybody that has both headsets and can test side by side could confirm that the X2 does not hiss like the X I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
This was way worse with my older headset, the logitech g935's. I just got the G pro X's today (first gen) and it's much better. I can easily tell when my old headset was on or off just by listening for the idle static buzz. But I can't tell with the X's.
Not using Bluetooth and wireless simultaneously is actually better for those whose main focus is gaming. Why would it be running both? If I connected it to my phone, I don't want it ringing in my ear while gaming. I am not sure why most UA-camrs who reviewed it highlighted this point as negative one?
Because it's a nice feature, especially for ps5 users so they can mix discord from their phones into theb headset. As a PC user, this is still something I absolutely must have if I'm going wireless.
I'm so pissed off. I was so hyped up about going and buying that logitech headset today. I went to the store. I tried em out. Turns out i have a really fat head. I was so f***ing dissapointed, ruined my day. Seems like im buying razers again.
the problem wih logitech is it's customer support. If you ever needed a 3.5mm cable and your outside US, it's almost impossible to get a replacement directly from logitech, they don't offer the replacement cable. I've had several terrible experiences with their customer support not supporting with spare cables when they stop working and their tech support just shrugs it off, as not their problem.
Best Buy has the originals for $119 right now. I have the Pro X2’s rn and I love them but I’m giving them to my girlfriend so I’ll be checking out the originals today
Hi! I am currently trying to decide between these 2 headsets and the difference in price in my country between the two is around 35-40$, what I am worried about is the rotation thing on the x2 version as it seem like it will break easily. Do you think this concern is justified or am I worried about nothing? Also it seems that the overhead on the price is well worth the better sound quality so I would definitely buy the x2 if this issue is nonexistent and it's just me overthinking it.
Hello! If you're still in doupt, I can tell you that, with normal use (I don't throw them around 😀), the flexible earcups on the Pro X 2 are quite well built and they should last for long.
Can you please try plugging in the detachable microphone from the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) into this Logitech one, to see if its compatible and improves mic quality? Razer offers the mic as 20$ replacement part..
Here you go ua-cam.com/video/AYCvzNtFS1o/v-deo.html But FYI I don't think you can actually buy this mic seperately at the moment (check the pinned comment on the video)
Something ive heard nobody mention is the pressure the Logitech G Pro X wireless applies on top of the head , im wondering if the new ones does the same ?
Should i go for Logitech G pro X wireless (first gen) listed for €129, hyperx cloud 3 wireless for €99 or the hyperx cloud alpha wireless for €174? I can't decide! Had a great deal on the audeze maxwell aswell but the imaging holds me off and the price aswell. The second gen G pro X 2 is €236 which i think it's not worth it!
My Hyperx Cloud Flight S dongle toasted after 2 years. They said it was EOL (so I was SOL). Was just about to to buy the X (don't need bluetooth) and someone below said the X doesn't have replacements anymore. I just want a good wireless headset with spacial audio. Do you really have to spend $200+ to get a decent headset?
@@COMM_DUMPST3Rdon’t use duck tape, i dont know why logitech have not put the S.O.S on social media to use ZIP TIES. 😂 they work like a charm..and makes the headset feel a million times stronger!😊
I just used my adult money to buy the newer model headset. either way, the duct tape made it feel the same as before, but the battery in it has gone bad which is why I bought the new one. @@setiset516
So normally the X2 at best it is 259 and the Z is 239. Right now the X model is on sale for 130. Do you think it’s worth it to spend twice as much to get the X2? Or just get the original
Probably not. I have the originals. The included mic isn't amazing but it works. I've had 0 issues with the sound quality or the headset itself and I've had mine for over a year
@@smoothestofbrains I ended up with the original ones. Like you said I wish the mic was a little better. It doesn’t always stay where you put it, but overall they have been a great headset. Esp for 130 dollars.
Great job! Please, would you advise which one for FPS games specifically? I saw some posts complaining about the GPX2 for hearing footsteps, I'm specifically looking for a wireless headset for FPS. I appreciate the help!
So I bought the X 2 because my Headset is dying and I wanted to see what close to 300€ gets me. While it feels great and the sound being very good, the microphone is a bit of a let down. I am going to get a cheaper one instead. However, it's quite sad that the original does not offer Bluetooth, sadly a K.O. criteria for me. Which is a shame as I just saw an offer of around 110€, which is a great deal. That said, I might try to keep going with my old headset for a little longer and wait for some christmas sale on the X2. If I'm lucky and it goes down to 200 I might consider it worth the price tag. Edit: Tested MMX200 which sadly hurts my ears over time. Went with the Razer Blackshark V2 as it's way more user friendly and has almost as good sound as the X2.
I just pick this headset for ps5, i have another headset for ps5 inzone h9 , but this logitech is amazing on sound, now compared with inzone h9 the inzone sounds a bit chopy...
Are the hinges any stronger? Went through 2 of the original due to the hinges just snapping off from normal use and I have no clue whether the new build is trustable.
Next time when you buy them brand new or put them back together with zip tie’s..when mines almost snaped, i used zip ties from walmart and they were alot stronger then before lmao..
I have an issue with the X2 Lightspeed when im in discord or ts my friends can hear every sound twice. Because the mic is recording the sound what comes out of the headset. I tried everything in g hub but nothing works. Has someone the same issue ? If anyone have an solution for this problem pls help me.
Hey, how does the Pro X 2 compare to the Nova Pro Wireless in audio quality? Mic seems to be slightly worse but if the sound is much better I can live with that.
The original G Pro X hinge is terrible, those little screws (2 each side) which hold the whole thing together can easily break (plastic threads). I can't recommend those, hope the new ones are built better.
I was have the Logitech g pro x and swapped it to the Corsair virtuoso rgb I can tell with 100% sure that the Logitech is more comfort and has the best sound quality for gaming but no rgb and the virtuoso is better looking , now I'm thinking to upgrade to the new g pro x2
@@YA-xw3cs i have also x1 , and wondering if there will be significant difference in sound quality between the 2 , because im allready overwhelmed by the x1 , sound quality is amazing in games like bf2042 bf5.
The Pro X is much better than the Pro X 2, and the extra £100 difference for the X 2 is just not worth it, plus the Pro X 2 output is 50% that level of the Pro X. So save yourself £100 and get the Pro X and stay clear of the Pro X 2.
The first ones were on sale at Best Buy so I decided to pick them up. I love them.

Not bothered by the mic, i have my own so mic its not an issue but everything else seems absolutely amazing

The X Lightspeed seemed to have some odd clicking when you were speaking - have you noticed this? Does this happen often?

With them no longer providing replacement part for the Logitech G Pro X Wireless, it should've been a $90 headset....Not $150 or even $200 headset...
Hey, i would like to ask you a small question, would g pro x dongle work on g pro x 2 ? or its not compatible? thanks
No, you can't steal the pro x 2 from the store and use it with the old dongle 😂😂

Can use the first version with a 3.5 or usb instead of wireless
