Logitech G PRO X Gaming Headset (2nd Generation) with Blue Voice, DTS Headphone 7.1 and 50 mm PRO-G Drivers, for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series…

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 vídeo 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:
-NITIDEZ
Uma das dúvidas que sempre tenho é se o som é nítido. Quando digo sobre nitidez é o quanto um som é límpido, 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 vídeo e sem controles adicionais).

O som é bem nítido nas configurações padrão e não fica com aquele som parecido com “som de ligação de telefone discado”. Os fones mais antigos tinham essa característica pela tecnologia não estar totalmente madura, tornando o som com perda de qualidade e com mais característica 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 pouquíssimo perceptível… mas lembre-se: meu foco é mobilidade com a qualidade igual ou semelhante ao que eu usava (que também não era headset profissional).

-VOLUME
A 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 vídeos. Muitos já devem ter se deparado com um vídeo extremamente baixo onde a gente precisa aumentar até o último volume e logo em seguida ter que baixá-lo porque o vídeo seguinte era muito alto.
O volume é bem cadenciado neste Headset. O que eu quero dizer com isso? Quero dizer que não é possível 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. É projetado para ser wireless. Embora essa seja a característica é muito satisfatório o volume.

-CONTROLES
Nesta 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 SOM
Esse 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 vídeos 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 nítido.

É 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 vídeos 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 vídeos mais antigos davam um review pior para este headset.

ESTRUTURA
A 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 / Bateria
Ainda na concha esquerda, tem a conexao USB-C para carregamento, que tem um detalhe MUITO IMPORTANTE. A posição não é tão boa, porém é possível 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).

——————————-

Conclusão
Eu 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.
É um preço relativamente alto… acredito que poderia ser um pouco mais barato, porém pelas funcionalidades que ele entrega estou bem satisfeito por enquanto.

Alcance, qualidade de som e qualidade do mic são boas. Mic possui um bom redutor de ruídos, vale muito a pena se estiver em alguma promoção.

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 can’t go a day without music. I was looking for a replacement wireless headset for my computer (Windows 11 laptop) use – 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 didn’t want active noise-cancelling, but some degree of isolation is important. There is also a “work around” 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 – 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 doesn’t FEEL heavy. It fits softly AROUND the ear, and I don’t 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 ear…) 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 “Kick” of my previous (and cheaper) headphones, but the bass is still there… it’s the difference between “hearing” the low end, and “feeling it”. That being said, turning up the low end to “feel it” on headphones isn’t the best thing for your ears in the long run, so – 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 – by itself straight out of the box, the sound was a little on the “thin” side, BUT, with the customization of settings the software provides, it’s 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 “Good!” – so, worked there.

Battery Life: Good – When fully charged and monitoring them as I use them, it has been accurately showing 24-25 hours’ 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 – desktop wouldn’t 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 – 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 – (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 – 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 doesn’t include a simple USB C Male to USB Female with the package (probably would cost them less than a dollar…), and eliminate “doesn’t work with phones” from the reviews of being a lack of a feature. Works fine with my android phone with its USB-C port.

SO – if THIS aspect has been a reason why a person might decide against it, don’t 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.

Keeping in mind that I’ve only owned these for a week and therefore can’t speak to their longevity, I can say these rank high on the list of gamer headsets I own and have owned (Razer Blackshark V2 Pro, Hyper X Cloud II, Logitech G733, Corsair HS70 Pro, Corsair HS80, Corsair Virtuoso, Steelseries Arctis 7+ and others) in that they do everything well, and nothing poorly. Others were better at certain things, but this is a nice all-rounder that isn’t giving me much room to complain. My preferred setup, however, will always be actual HiFi headphones with an AMP/DAC and a standalone mic, in my case either Sennheiser HD 598 or Meze 99 Classics.

All materials feel nice and of quality, and most importantly sturdy. Different types of plastic, metal, the “leather” headband. They all have a nice feel to them. I don’t have to be careful taking them off. I used the leatherette ear cups that come pre-mounted for one session and they were fine, but I switched to the softer velour type cups they also come with (a nice addition – and easy to swap) and have found them to be very comfortable for my slightly elongated oddly shaped ears =). While they are a bit tighter than I prefer, it hasn’t bothered me enough to interrupt a session yet. That’s up to individual taste, I can be very sensitive to tight headphones and while these do have a decent clamping force to them, it’s not distracting.

Sound is good. Not great, even after playing with the equalizer, so the claim that their 50mm drivers are HiFi is, to me, false. But they do sound better, and offer more customization, than several other sets previously mentioned. The most comfortable to me over long sessions were the Corsair HS80 and Razer Blackshark V2 Pro. Both broke in different ways: The Corsair earcup covering ripped off, a common problem and I’ve had 3 sets of Corsairs break on me for different reasons so due to either my bad luck or a potential QC problem I’ve decided to stay away for now. The Razers just lost sound in the left ear and had terrible static, something a close friend of mine who bought them several weeks after me also encountered. So maybe some QC issues there as well. So far no Logitechs have died on me in any way, and that includes older models I didn’t list. Keep in mind every set I’ve listed (aside from the HiFi) have been wireless.

Wireless range is good. No one has complained about losing me or cutting in and out as I move around, which has occurred with most sets at one time or another. But again, I’ve had these for a week.

Microphone sound is good according to the people I game with, but there haven’t been any real complaints with any of the listed sets, so I don’t know how they actually rank. I think in these price ranges you general get good to great voice quality.

Battery life is great so far. I check it before and after every session. Hurray for USB-C charging as well. I’ve yet to test if I can use them while charging but I assume so, and that’s probably mentioned on their site.

On earcup controls are well thought out. Toggling a little switch turns them on and off and they do so rapidly, no holding down a button for a few seconds and waiting for a “boot up”. It’s near instant when flipping it. Muting is another small button you press down (down is the muted position, popped up is unmuted) and is well positioned above the smooth scrolling and precise volume wheel. There is no LED indicator on the microphone but an audio tone of two beeps indicates the muting, and the reverse of those same tones indicates it’s unmuted. The microphone itself is nice adjustable being pliable yet staying firm, something I truly appreciate. The mic itself has a small foam covering compared to some other models listed. In fact, it’s the smallest of this type I’ve encountered.

The Logitech software, so far, works well and is easy to navigate. That said, there doesn’t seem to be a way to save a profile to the headset itself, so it’s something you will have to adjust on each device which could be a pain if using a super custom EQ profile.

Lastly, they come with a nice transport pouch. Another nice addition I wish more companies included.

So for me they’re not perfect, but I’ve yet to find perfection. I buy a new set periodically, even when what I’m using still works, and I will continue that search. In the meantime I will be using these the most. I’m assuming there will be some “break in” on the clamping and cups, so I look forward to seeing how they feel down the road. I still miss the comfort of the Razers and HS80s. Then again, the Hyper X are touted as the best or close to the best for comfort and I don’t agree at all. That’s too subjective to really influence a purchase. You really do need to try it yourself for a while and find out.

I can recommend these, especially when the price is at the lower spectrum.

A last comment about sound quality. NO gamer headsets have sounded great to me. Once you experience actual HiFi audio, there’s really no going back. But I can say the best I’ve experienced in terms of bass if that’s what you’re after, are the Razers. The bass on this set, when boosted, is a muddy bizarre and distracting affair. I definitely won’t be using them for music. The surround sound works well if you’re into that thing. But overall the sound isn’t bad at all. It just doesn’t have anything special to it, imo.
