Nice video, it really helps with my buying decision. For a person who sweats easily like me the cloth foams are a plus since I had a bad experience with my razer kraken and marshall major 2. Leatheratte is really a nightmare in the long run
Nice! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😄
If you’re that worried about audio get an actual mic separate from your headphones.
Thanks for the advice!
Ots mainly foe the people on consle...
I work from home, this headset seems like a good fit for me especially since it's noise-cancelling which a lot of gaming headsets don't have, so that's definitely a plus. Great review awesome video keep it coming, feel better.
Awesome! I’m glad you’re enjoying your pair 🤗
@@SideofTech he said it seems like a good fit for him, so he doesn't own a pair
is the wired also noise cancelling?
@@isaacrigby should be, I think they're exactly the same, just that one is wired, and one not
@@felp4219 thnks
Good review! If you don't mind me asking how big is your head? I wear a 7 5/8 fitted cap and have trouble finding headsets that don't squeeze my head during longer play sessions.
Thank you! Hey I totally feel you, I think our brains are too big 😄. Unfortunately I’m not really sure how big my head is, this would actually be a good thing to research on my end to provide everyone a good outlook. If it helps, a standard Nike cap fits if I extend the strap in the back to almost the max. Also depends on the amount of hair I’m rockin. If I end up measuring my head out I’ll provide an update on that here! Thanks!
hey man! loved the video and subscribed directly. i have one question. i am stuck between these headsets and Steelseries Arctis 9 Wireless. I am only going to use the headsets for gaming on PC. i play fps games like valorant. i will never ever use the headsets to listen to music. i watch some movies/series from time to time. the fact that Logitech G Pro X Wireless does not provide bluetooth connection is not a con for me. i dont think i will need to connect my headsets anything other than my PC. they both are affordable for me. which one should i go for?
Hello! Honestly if you are going for sound, I prefer the sound of Logitech G products. They emphasize low ends and give you a better immersion with the game imo. With that said, I feel steelseries is better when it comes to the soundstage, meaning I can hear footsteps and little noise a little better. I’ve had the arctis 7 and I did like them too but they didn’t sound as rich. Now both do come with software so you can tweak them both to your liking so always keep in mind. If I’m being honest, I’d just go with whatever is on sale or is cheaper because the 2 headphones are pretty similar imo. You really can’t go wrong, but my personal bias is towards the G Pro X which is currently on sale on Amazon!
How do you only have 2.9k subscribers this video is so well made
Haha thank you for your kind words brother 💪🏼
Loved the intro for this video. Just one critique: You never talked about the audio of the headset itself. How does it sound? What kind of audio profile does it have? Is it warm with bass or more cold with higher frequencies? So not talking about the audio performance of the cans themselves is leaving out a large reason for someone to shell out $200 for a gaming headset. I have the EPOS H3Pro Hybrid headset and the mic on that is very finicky and cuts me off a lot when using voice activated in Discord. I'm still on the hunt for that perfect headset that has near studio grade audio performance with a decent mic.
Yeah I wish I did go more in depth with the sound, but yeah I would say on default settings, it has more of a colder tone with a higher frequency. Now all of this can be tweaked to your own settings which I think is why I tried to focus on the software a little more. I feel like the mic sounds really solid and I never get cutouts at all. I even step away from time to time to get snacks or a drink away from my chair and everything is perfectly fine. I just really think this is a super solid headphone and I don’t regret the purchase at all. If this is on sale, I’d say it’s a must buy. Hope this helps!
Your intro was so fun!
We try to have fun out here 😅
To be fair I think I will stick with the wired pair. AS ANNOYING as it is, the analog connection improves audio quality (Especially on the microphone!). The fact you also don’t need to worry about charging and the best part is that you can switch between PC and Phone (easier) since it uses an Aux cable rather than a USB 3.0 Dongle. I also feel like any type of wireless audio device should never be used for competitive gaming so I’d actually rather use the wireless pair for everyday use if it was bluetooth. I am still upset about that sticker not being included.
Wired will always be better than wireless for sound quality! Sticker sadness ahead 🥲
@@SideofTech Well, I wish you good luck on your KZhead journey to success! Either way wired vs wireless is always gonna be preference
Yea I can’t beat a mixamp pro
Just got this from Amazon on sale for £57.40. Can't wait!!
Score!!
Dude's gonna be upset when he finds out that it's wired.
@@2apur I am actually happy the headphones are wired :)
wired actually sounds better and the mic is better@@2apur
Logitech and Amazon and even eBay (mostly) still charging pandemic prices. When you switched the first time it sounded like an AM radio.
Haha, yeah without the Blue Voice it doesn't sound all too well. Good thing is you can customize!
I was thinking about getting this headset but I feel like the microphone quality is a little... off? I can't really tell if it does have that sort of low quality vibe from it or if it just needs the right kind of preset
This is a mic that definitely needs the right type of preset. How it comes standard sounds very low quality (hence the first part of the test) when you introduce the Blue Voice, it drastically gives you a better sound I feel. You can also set a preset and tweak that preset to your liking. There’s tons of customizability when it comes to this headset!
I had a very, very bad experience with the Cloud 3 wireless. And since the 1st Gen G Pros are around the same $125 price tag i got the clouds for, i returned the cloud and now im going to get the first gen G Pros!
I hope it works out for you! 😇
I just bought these and the sound isolation in the left ear is less isolated than the right ear. Not sure if it’s a defective unit or something that all of these headsets have. I switched ear pads and it was still the same. Maybe it’s the ports on the left side of the earcup? It’s driving me crazy lol
Are you outside of your return window? You can always return the product, especially if you bought them from amazon or best buy. If you got them directly from Logitech, they could send you a replacement and their service is actually pretty decent. Hope this helps!
@@SideofTech I got another pair from best buy but it was the same story unfortunately. I swapped the second set out for the Corsair Virtuoso xt
Aww dang, well I hope those work out for you!
What does it means?
@@XultrashaviThe can hear background noise outside of the left ear more than the right I’m pretty sure.
why do these headphones (immediately after switching on) have this irritating noise? any fix for that also maybe?
Also good to know is that if u lose the usb dongle u will have to buy a new headset since they dont have it as a spare part. And there are no thirdparty dongles. And no the g533 dongle dosent work with the software. I say buy a pair of razer blackshark v2 pro 2023 and u will get a good wireless headset with the best mic on a headset. Logitech if u for some reason read this please make the usb dongle a spare part for us that lost one.
The DTS spatial audio they use is outdated(or it feels outdated)....And I preferred to use Dolby Atmos with it. But that will not let me use anything with Logitech GHub for the headset.
Yeah, this is a pretty old headset at this point, they just released the updated version but I agree, I would’ve loved to have Dolby atmos too 😮💨
love theese
Bro that intro was lit "where we dropping boys" *music drops* 🔥🔥🔥
Haha, I try my best! Thank you 😄
No comment on sound quality? Breaking it down objectively would wouldn't take long, and I think is something people want to know about.... it's a sound product after all. I enjoyed the rest of the review though, thanks
Thank you for your input, I’ll take that into account!
There is noticeable white noise with these, it seems like some people can’t hear it but it started hurting my head after like 5 minutes. Returned but thanks for advice
Aww no! That’s weird, maybe it was a faulty one? But in any case, thank you for watching!
@@SideofTech yeah potentially, I didn’t wanna bother with trying to fix it and saw a couple posts that said they couldn’t resolve it so I ended up returning them
i currently have the steel series arctis 7 which i’ve had since it first came out almost. how much a differnce will this headset be?
I’d say it would be a pretty big difference, especially if you get the version 2 model of the G Pro X. What platform are you tryna get it for?
@@SideofTech pc i’ve had the arctis 7 since it came out and payed a fortune since then the ear parts have snapped so spin the dials have broke the wireless dongle doesn’t work and i’ve bought replacements wires about 6 times. I was either going to go with this logitech one or the dt770 as i allready have a mic so wouldn’t use the one built in anyway
Is this headset tuned mainly for voice chatting? I just bought mine and extremely disappointed with the sound quality, im listening to full volume and its not loud at all, no bass at all. Do they need to be tuned with software before using?
Hello! I would say out of the box this headset needs tweaking. The magic comes with the app using your computer. You have to change all the settings to tweak the sound to your liking, make sure to do so!
Very funny and cool at the beginning, but later on...very poor specs of the product.But keep doing it!👍
Check out the newer ones! This video is when I was just learning how to review things 🤗
Do you need a pc for the software to work on PlayStation? Like can you tweak settings and go play on PlayStation
I do not believe so as it uses a usb dongle but you might have some compatibility issues. You might have to initially set it up on PC and tweak settings on there. Sadly Logitech does not state there is any support for ps5 or ps4 with these headphones as they are primarily a PC headset. I would take this question over to Reddit, you might get a better answer on there compared to on KZhead! I’m sorry I wish I could be more of help.
Just got one of these for $100 curious to see how it compares to my Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal
Nice! That’s a great pickup for 100. How is it comparing so far?
@@SideofTech So far its a pretty good headset, the audio is much muddier compared to the B&O but thats to be expected when the cost difference is more than the G Pro X was at MSRP. Overall I'd say if you can get this headset for at least 25% off its a great pair of headphones
When I play valorant the surround sound seems to completely negate things directly behind you. For example, if I plant the spike and it starts beeping, when I turn 180 degrees the beeping sound completely disappears. Is there a solution to this?
I’ve actually read an article on Reddit saying that the headphones, for some reason in surround sound mode, lose some of the ability to pick up noises 360 degrees but if you switch off the surround sound they return back to normal. It could be a software issue. Have you tried updating the headphones via the software?
@@SideofTech I haven't. I'll see if that helps, thanks.
@@cain2523 did you fix it?
@@power2daaplayer304 I stopped using the surround sound dts mode and just used the normal audio and it works fine. The dts surround sound wasn't very helpful to begin with as I could hear footsteps just as well without it.
@@cain2523 did you use the dts app?
hi! does it work/connect to phones also? thank you!
Hello! Unfortunately not. The headset only connects via the usb receiver that comes with the headset. Hope this helps!
Can you plug them in and still use them if the battery dies?
Yes! I have done this a couple times 🙂
Do you have any idea if this headset works with Xbox Series X? I can't seem to find a definitive answer.
I’m not 100% but I do know that if I plug this into my PS4, only the most basic functions work like the volume, etc. To customize the defaults I would have to go to my PC and program it. This headphone is not made for consoles but they will work if you want the bare minimum experience. I highly recommend something that works with the Series X instead of this. Hope that helps!
@@SideofTech Yeah I'm reading in some places that basic functions might work. I wanna find a good headset that works well with my PC and Series X. If this headset doesn't do so great with consoles then I might have to pass. It's too bad cause this seems like a great headset. Thanks for responding though.
I tried it on xbox it 100% works
Hey can I use this with cable for good mic quality?
no :(
Nice spiderco para 3
Real recognize real 😎
Any recommendations on EQ settings for this on in Ghub?
Hello! I actually like the presets the software already comes with. What I do is pick a preset (bass boost for example), then I kind of tweak it according to the situation. To hear some footsteps I like to boost the mids, if I’m playing single player I like to boost the lows for more bass and the mids and highs I tweak them up a tiny bit. I hope this helps! 😄
@@SideofTech thank you! I've been using bass boost too. Also what does boosting the mids and lows mean? I'ma techy but when it comes to audio I'm lost lmao
@@nyx766 haha I just know a little on the topic but from what I know, lows are talking about lower frequency noises like low bass, mids are your upper bass hits and some vocals, highs are the higher frequencies so higher vocals, snares, high pitch noises. I hope that helps!
@@SideofTech you the man!
It is compatible with an Xbox series S like gaming and talk others in a party?
It will! It’ll just be crippled by the limitations of the console interface. Same the ps5, this headset I would only recommend for PC use to get the full value from it.
Did the headset came with white noise when turned on when connected to a pc?
Mine did not come with any white noise at all. They’ve been pretty great I use them almost every day to game!
This video is accurate because I’m using a crappy AirPods mic and my team always complains and I’m upgrading to g pro
Haha I’m happy for you 😅
But what is new to come from Logitech??? Dunno if I wanna drop 200 bones if they're coming out with a new headset soon.
That is a great question! Although I do not believe they will update this model for a little while since it just got one, I think they might release some updates to other models that desperately need it. Also their sister company, Astro could be releasing something as well so I would be on the lookout for that too!
Can you use the g hub software without internet ?
Hello! You should be able to, the only thing is without internet you will not be able to update the headset, but every other function should work!
I'm looking for a wireless gaming headset. Please help me with this choice. My budget is 350 dollars max. I'm stuck between G pro x wireless, cs hs80, cs virtuoso xt, blackshark v2 pro. Is there any better? What do you think I should get?
Hello! I unfortunately have not had a chance to use any of the other headphones so I cannot speak on their performance but I can say that if your budget is 350, I would HIGHLY recommend you go to a store where you can try any of these on, or buy from a store with an easy return policy. In my experience, Best Buy and Amazon have the most hassle free return policies. Also if you haven’t heard of them, I can also suggest the Astro A50s as a really good pair of headphones, but if your head is on the larger side, they might not fit too well. I hope this helps!
@@SideofTech I'm torn between the Astro A50 and the Artics Pro Wireless. As a result, I bought the Artics Pro Wireless. This headset has satisfied me so far. Thank you for your message.
Awesome choice!
What did you plug the dongle into???
Hello! I plugged the dongle into a USB port in the back of my pc or my CalDigit dock if I use it with my Mac. Hope that helps! 👍🏼
Put the mic at 48khz , you will hear a big difference..
Thanks for the tip!
im trying to buy a wireless gaming headset and my budget is 150 is this the best?
If you can squeeze these headsets under 150 that would be an AMAZING deal. If you want, you can save some more money and get the wired versions. Same great features minus the wireless, but same customizability. That’s my opinion at least haha, definitely look around because there are a lot of great headphones in that range!
is there any way you can use it on your phone ?
Unfortunately not, this headset requires a dongle to be plugged into your PC. There is no bluetooth option here sadly!
Can I use this for Nintendo switch
Hello! Unfortunately not since this headset uses a USB dongle which will not attach to the switch. Possibly the wired version could work but I myself am not sure. Sorry!
Is the wired Logitech g pro x also noise cancelling?
Hello! Neither model has any noise cancellation sadly, that would be a great feature! Maybe in the future
@@SideofTech thanks for your quick reply, that is awesome, your channel is sure to grow with this amount of effort you put in!
Thank you so much! 😄
is it still worth it to buy it for my pc ?
Hello! If you can find one on sale I’d totally still recommend it. It’s a great deal around that price!
does it have noise canceling?
Hello! No it does not 😄
Where we dropping boys ;)
😎
Nothing Logitech makes anymore is "worth it" even their sales are barely what any other comparable product would be full price. Logitech simply smacks 20-30 extra dollars on every G product for no reason.
Will it work with Xbox s
Hello! They will work but you won’t have some of the features available to you like the customization. Still a decent pair!
Yeah on console the mic is gonna be a problem…
does it have a 7.1 surround sound?
Hello! No it does not, I believe Logitech is doing their own thing here with DTS Surround Sound 2.0. It sounds really good!
@@SideofTech it said it has surround sound
Yes it does have surround sound but not specifically 7.1.
@@SideofTech so basically it does but its more of Logitech own 7.1 version? Should i get this headset or get hyperx cloud 2 wireless??
Sorry for the late reply, but if it were me and I were trying to save some money, the HyperX Cloud 2's are a great choice! Only thing is you won't have the software that comes with the logitech. If you could wait for a sale, I would see if the G Pro's are on sale (they go on sale often) and just get those because the quality all around, in my opinion is really good. Hyper X is a really great budget brand, but it's really up to you and your needs. Hope this helps!
W intro😂
😝
How to mute mic when its wireless?
Hello! There is a mute button that you can press on the headset.
@@SideofTech Thank you very much. Here's a sub.
@@mexywhatever6917 thank you for joining the fam!
Boys wich one is best for competitive games wired or wireless?
Go for the cheaper wired ones bro, better response time and you’ll never have to worry about batteries 👊🏼
Does it work on phone?
Unfortunately not, this runs off of a Bluetooth dongle.
@@SideofTech Thanks for answering my question ❤️❤️❤️
hyperx headset have like 300h of battery :O
Yeeah, they're pretty next level when it comes to their battery life!
