Review: Logitech G Pro X2 Lightspeed Headset

TL;DR: Logitech G Pro X2 Lightspeed Out of the box is the worst headset and should be banned.

---->But the Pro X2 after doing some extra steps (tutorial linked below) it's God Tier for the price of 200€.

Here is a little review of the Logitech G Pro X2 Lightspeed Headset. I had a hard time deciding which headset to buy for my gaming sessions, maybe some music making and also listing to music. I always had a wired headsets because I play a lot of competitive FPS games like Apex, Valorant, CS etc. But also some chill games like No Man's Sky.

I looked at countless headsets, reviews of them, reddit posts, to get as much information as I need. (I often need lots of information to decide which thing I'm gonna buy.) I was interested in a wireless headset for more flexibility and listinging to music on the go, but was afraid it gives me a disadvantage in FPS games because of delay of sound.

In tier lists of headsets the Logitech G Pro X2 Lightspeed poped up quite often, which was in my price range 150-250€. I know there are more expensive headsets that are probably way better but for the tasks my headset should fulfill, it would be an overkill to pay 500€ or more. The main reason I struggled with are the negative reviews on Reddit, other than that I was confident the Pro X2 is my choice.

So I bought the Pro X2 and to my horror, reddit was true. Out of the Box this Headset sounds so damn bad that I can't understand people liking it. The bass was way to strong, there were some kind of echo and overall sounded worse than my 10€ ear bud Headset for my phone. I directly compared it to my G635, which was also plugged in to reduce the time between the comparisons of the same song or sound. And out of the box there is no world where the G635 loses against the Pro X2.

But there was hope. Among the many negative reviews on Reddit, there is a tutorial on fixing the Pro X2, which I found before I bought the headset and I wanted to give it a try. And let me tell you, the difference is so God damn insane. The unusable, worst headset I've ever got turned into the best headset I've ever listened music or played games on. I had so much fun listing to all the different music genres, I couldn't get enough. And playing games with this is so immersive, you can hear everything crystal clear, the bass is placed at the right moments with the right amount and it's very good for competitive gaming.

This is the tutorial. Thanks a quintillion times to this guy. You are a hero and everyone with the headset needs to see this post, trust me. Basically it's deleting the Logitech driver, instead use the windows sound driver and buy Dolby Atmos, in my Case I bought DTS, because I like it more and it's better for FPS. DTS is just 15€ once and you good to go, I think Dolby Atmos is around the same price.

Besides the now insanely good sound quality, this Headset comes with 3 connection options, perfect for my needs. You have the dongle for wireless PC gaming, if you are scared you lose some milliseconds you also have the 3.5mm option for wired gaming and on top you have Bluetooth, which I use for listing music on my phone on work or when I'm outside. You have two ear pad options, one pair of leather pads and one pair of soft fabric pads. The battery lifetime is forever, so you rarely need to charge it. And overall it's a beautiful headset made of a lot of Metall, which makes the headset pretty high quality in looks and feel.

Only downside so far is the weight. It's not super heavy but I've noticed a little fatigue after several hours of gaming or music, which is fine for me because its a good sign for taking a break. And well, that you have to fix the sound on your own.

All in all: I can recommend the Pro X2 Lightspeed to everyone with similar needs and budget as mine!

If you consider this Headset and there are open questions, feel free to ask me in the comments or my dms.
