Logitech G Pro X Wireless Review: A Premium Gaming Experience Without the Wires
When I got my hands on the Logitech G Pro X Wireless, I was excited to finally try a wireless version of one of Logitech’s most popular gaming headsets. I had heard a lot about how the original wired model became a favorite among esports players and casual gamers alike, but going wireless can often introduce new challenges, such as latency or battery life issues. So, I was curious—would the G Pro X Wireless hold up under scrutiny, or would the move to wireless compromise the performance?
Design: Premium Look and Solid Build
Right from the moment I unboxed it, the Logitech G Pro X Wireless impressed me with its simple but premium design. There’s a nice weight to it—it feels solid without being too heavy, thanks to the aluminum and steel frame. I like that Logitech decided to go with a more minimalist aesthetic here. There are no RGB lights or overly flashy elements, just a sleek matte black finish with spun-metal accents on the ear cups. It’s subtle but classy, and the build quality makes it clear this is a high-end product.
The faux-leather headband and memory foam ear pads feel soft and comfortable at first touch. Logitech also includes velour ear pads in the box, which I appreciated since they’re more breathable for long sessions. It’s a small but thoughtful addition that gives users some flexibility based on their preferences. However, while the materials feel high-quality, I did notice that the fit could feel a bit snug after a couple of hours, especially if you have a larger head. That snugness wasn’t unbearable, but it was enough to make me switch to a lighter headset after several hours of use.
Comfort: Good, but Could Be Better for Long Sessions
The G Pro X Wireless is comfortable, but it doesn’t completely disappear on your head the way some lighter headsets do. At 317 grams, it’s not the heaviest gaming headset I’ve used, but you do notice it after a few hours. The headband padding does a good job of distributing weight, but I think Logitech could have made it just a little softer for extended wear.
That said, the ear cushions are great. I tested both the leatherette and velour options, and while the leatherette feels more premium, the velour pads were definitely cooler during longer gaming sessions. If you game in a warmer environment or plan on wearing the headset for more than four or five hours at a time, the velour ear pads will be your best friend.
Performance: Immersive Audio and Minimal Latency
Now let’s talk about the sound quality, which is easily one of the strongest aspects of the G Pro X Wireless. The 50mm Pro-G drivers deliver clear and balanced audio, with just enough bass to make explosions and gunfire feel impactful, without drowning out other sounds. I spent a good amount of time playing Borderlands 3, and the surround sound performance was impressive. I could hear exactly where enemies were approaching from, and subtle audio cues, like environmental sounds, added to the overall immersion.
The DTS Headphone:X 2.0 surround sound is available through the Logitech G Hub software, and it works well for games that benefit from spatial audio. It’s not quite as mind-blowing as some other virtual surround sound systems I’ve tried, but it adds a layer of depth that’s noticeable, especially in games with large open-world environments.
One thing that stood out was the low latency. Thanks to Logitech’s Lightspeed 2.4 GHz wireless technology, I didn’t experience any noticeable delay between what I was hearing and what was happening on screen. I even wandered several rooms away from my PC, and the connection stayed solid until I moved behind a thick wall—so Logitech’s claim of a 13-meter (42-foot) range seems accurate in most situations.
Usability: Easy Setup with Some Software Tweaks
Setting up the G Pro X Wireless was straightforward. It connects via a USB-A dongle, which might feel a bit bulky for laptop users, but it’s not a big deal if you’re using a desktop. Once plugged in, the G Hub software provides access to a graphic EQ, mic settings, and surround sound features.
While the software offers a lot of customization, I did find it a bit overwhelming at first. There are plenty of options, but it took some trial and error to find the right balance for my audio preferences. However, once I dialed in my settings, the results were worth it—especially with the Blue Voice microphone tuning that enhances vocal clarity during voice chats.
Speaking of the microphone, the detachable boom mic performs well. It’s not quite studio-quality, but it’s more than good enough for gaming and Discord calls. My voice came through clearly, with minimal background noise, even during some chaotic team chats. Just remember to mute the mic if you’re not using it—Logitech opted for a small button on the ear cup instead of a flip-to-mute feature, which isn’t quite as intuitive.
Battery Life: Plenty of Play Time
Battery life is another highlight. Logitech claims up to 20 hours of use on a single charge, and in my experience, that number is accurate. I used the headset for several days without needing to recharge, even with the surround sound enabled. The USB-C charging is a nice touch—it’s always great to see companies moving away from outdated micro-USB connectors.
Pros and Cons: The Essentials
Pros:
- Excellent sound quality with balanced audio and solid bass response.
- Lightspeed wireless connection with minimal latency and impressive range.
- Two sets of ear pads (leatherette and velour) for comfort customization.
- Blue Voice microphone tuning enhances clarity during voice chats.
- 20-hour battery life with USB-C charging.
Cons:
- Fit can feel tight after extended wear.
- G Hub software offers lots of options but can be overwhelming.
- USB dongle is somewhat bulky for laptop users.
- No Bluetooth connectivity for mobile devices.
Final Thoughts: A Strong Contender in the Wireless Gaming Headset Market
The Logitech G Pro X Wireless is a solid choice for gamers who want high-quality sound, reliable wireless performance, and versatile customization options. While the fit might be a bit snug for some users, the headset’s overall comfort, build quality, and performance make it a worthwhile investment—especially if you’re looking for something that works well across both casual and competitive games.
At around $200, it’s not the cheapest headset out there, but the audio quality, low latency, and thoughtful extras (like the two sets of ear pads) justify the price. If you don’t mind a bit of software tweaking to get everything just right, the G Pro X Wireless is one of the better wireless gaming headsets available today.
