One thing I forgot to mention is that your custom audio settings do not save to the headset.

A good use for the port on the dongle, albeit a little niche, is for people who use mixing software like Elgato Wave. If you monitor your audio and use the audio source directly from your PC, you get hit with about 80ms in delay, which isn't too bad but is definitely noticeable. However, if you use the 5mm jack on the Wave XLR or the Wave microphone, you get the added benefit of zero latency monitoring. With most wireless headsets on the market, the only way to get the zero latency monitoring is to plug the 5mm cable directly to your headset which defeats the purpose of having a wireless headset, but with the jack being on the dongle as well, you can plug in the 5mm cable to the dongle instead and still keep the functionality of the wireless headset AND get the benefit of zero latency monitoring.

Thank you Techne. We appreciate the dedication and hours you put into these reviews.

Love how it’s more than just a review with the comparison headsets, great video Techne! 👏🏼🔥

With the old version I enjoyed the cloth pads a lot. It was the closest I’ve ever gotten to a wireless open back headset. I might have to try these out.

Haven’t finished the video yet but I gotta say, every headset video of yours that I watch one of my first questions is “do these work with wicked cushions”?😂 Love that you always integrate that, I’m hooked on them. Seriously makes a huge different in comfort Edit: finished the video. Why no simultaneous Bluetooth audio??😭 They were so close

The 3.5mm Aux-in in the dongle is ideal if you are using an audio interface (Focusrite, Eveo4, Rodecaster Pro tc) as your main audio on your PC but want to use a Wireless headset. The only other headset that does something similar is the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless with an Aux-in in the base station. Wish all brands did this as it's a MUST for me personally.

The 3.5mm input on the adapter is HUGE. A lot of streamers use a mixer, like a GoXLR to mix all of their audio. Then a single line out goes into a stream PC. With a setup like this, can't really use wireless headphones. There are very few headsets with an aux in. Another reviewer mentioned that the 3.5mm input on the dongle is only at 80% volume. Can you confirm this?

Been digging thru videos for weeks, I think I just made my decision! Thank you sir!

I got mine. Couple weeks ago and i love them and also wicked cushions does fit on these headphones ! Tested it out my self

Quickly becoming my favorite reviewer. nice work!

Really enjoyed this video. Thank you for your research, testing and Production.

Great review. Maybe for the dongle and the 3.5 input jack, since not simultaneous, I can hook up my phone and use the PlayStation app to talk to my friends while gaming on pc as long as I can still hear the game on pc. Better than nothing but rather have BT be simultaneous.

I find the Logitech more comfortable over the Audeze and part of that is the light weight and design. The sound is fairly close but you will get more volume out of the Audeze and better sound overall but if you can save $100 and get the Logitech Pro X2's on sale it's probably worth it! The mic on Razer is better than both, I'm curious to see recommendations on Wireless Headset + MIC Combos! I would imagine this headset plus a Quadcast s would be top tier combo and if wireless is not an issue probably PC 38x or Tygr R open back with quadcast or elgato wave3 mic. I like that this still has the 3.5mm jack over the Razer and would find this useful for some devices and if you were to use this on an Airplane for in-flight entertainment.

You're the GOAT techne. Could easily have saved the comparisons for a future video. Appreciate you giving it all to us up front!

I think the use of the 3.5mm port on the wireless usb dongle is for us to use the headset with the ghub software and blue voice while being used wired.

i think the 3.5 input on the dongle acts as a sort of DAC for the headset, thats what its like for the cable version of the pro x aswell

Been watching for awhile now uncle techne, glad you got the pronunciation on audeze down😂😂love you brother keep it up!

Thank you for the review, I was about to purchase this headset after 3 years of absolute joy using the 1st generation, but i'm gonna stay on the older version because I wanted the simultaneous BT and Lightspeed audio mix. Well maybe for the 3rd gen !

from the look, i dont think they fixed that plastic bracket where it goes in, thats the common braking point for og ones, like they somehow get broken even with out any force or anything, i never dropeed mine and both sides broke and now they are holding together with zipties

Thanks Techne for the review. I received the G Pro X2 upgrading from the old model. However it seems that I do not get the "wow" audio quality compare to the old model. Some differences that I experience (straight out of box settings) while playing FPS games such as Overwatch & Apex Legends : 1. The sound of the new model seems more hollow and muffled 2. The sound was quiet 3. The wireless range seems not a much different when tested. Is it possible that I got a defective headset? Or is it just the way it is with the new graphene drivers? Would you be able to share the tuning/equalizer to match the old model/better?

A major problem I have (dealbreaker) is that this brand new $250 headset meant for PC gaming doesn't seem to support Windows spatial audio (Sonic/Atmos/DTS:X). That's ridiculous. Also there is no wired USB audio support. Also the Equalizer only has 5 sliders and there is no "Link EQ Sliders" button. Logitech really needs to fix this stuff.

They failed by not allowing simultaneous Bluetooth. When older headsets offer it. That’s unfortunate because of that I will continue to stick with my Nova Pros and Logitech Gen1 ProX wireless. The white looks great though! Maybe next time.

Its packed with features. A volume control, power on button, mute button and bluetooth! I would expect this on a basic headset you're not selling it to me.

I’m surprised logitech didn’t make a wired version of this wireless gaming headset are expensive and i don’t like wireless even in mice because i don’t like to charge them. Anyways i’m excited for the hyperx cloud 3 wired headset

i have the wired originals, plastic bit on the headband broke yesterday and now looking into this headset, might get it after seeing this review.

I was thinking about buying these and I found your mictest, thank you! Would you mind telling us what microphone you normally use when recording your video? 😇

having a hard time with Xbox Series X compatible headsets. 1st i got was TB Stealth 700 ( 1st gen). nice, lots of features, good mic, but NOT, comfortable, made my head around my ears hurt, after a couple hours max. next, Razer Thresher for Xbox.. loved them. got 2.5 yrs out of them, and the plastic fitting that holds the head frame to the speakers, broke. just. .. snapped.. all i did was pick them up, kind of like plastic in the sun. killed me.. i loved them.. i had bought, last Prime day at Thanksgiving, some Razer Nari Ultimate ( haptic ). held them until, my others died, broke. etc.. OK. great sound, i mean, really crisp, very nice spectrum, and I have bad tinnitus, so "highs" are hard to hear along with vocal ranges. the Nari's were, well, are, great, in that. even more comfortable than the thresher, and i loved the thresher. BUT........ the damn Nari's have a known, unfixed flaw- the Microphone hardly ever pairs up with your Xbox. you have to try,, 5-10-15 times, over n over, before finally, it pairs up.. then, its fine ! ! good sound, but, apparently, they know about it, and have no fix for it (Razer).. i like Razer products for Xbox.. i have a new controller waiting to be used, my old Wolverine Ultimate has been beat to death for 2yrs+, and still working ( kind of amazing, it has 1500 hrs ?? of gaming on it ? and i am not gentle, been dropped a time or two, no repairs of any kind ).. Razer gaming chair ( for my PC ).. but, i bought a pair of 20th Ann Xbox headphones.. and just not... great... sound is OK,, maybe almost as good as the Thresher, but highs are a little weak. big issue is the microphone. its boom is Way toooooo short, and lands about at your cheek, no where close to your mouth. so unless you REALLY SPEAK UP AND ALMOST YELL... you get " dude, i can barely hear you.." :"Man you sound so far away"... nothing IN GAME isnt maxed out, so i cant DO anything else. sending it back just because of that. earcups are OK, need to be about a 1/2 inch wider, really, as they are Oblong, which i dont care for. i have, average ears ?? maybe slightly bigger than average ?? but its the fit around my ears, pressing my head, that bothers me.. thats where the Razers have shined.. so i am trying the Wired HyperX Cloud II headset.. no, not top tier, but, i cant shell out almost the price of a new Xbox Series S or X, for headphones.. my ears wont know the difference.. and the Hyper X have an "in line" adjustment for muting, surround sound, voice volume, game volume, which i really like. so details to follow.. lol... love your channel by the way...

@8:30 It's finally back! I missed the 3,5mm input over usb from the G933. I used it to combine audio from my ipad and my pc to play games and watch youtube at the same time. But it's also useful if you have a device that doesn't support audio over usb; you can plugin the 3,5mm and use a different power source or a usb on the same device for power. Works great with things like an old LCD TV.

I’m tempted to get these for the Prime Day sale. I’ll just stick to the Nova pro Wireless. I really like that white though.

I switched from the Corsair Virtuoso to the Pro X Wireless headset for comfort reasons but the main feature i miss from the virtuoso was the motion based power off AND power on

I disagree with gaming headsets being muddy old news. They still aren't the greatest and honestly if you want good audio quality, you get professional audiophile headphones. I got DT 700 Pro X's and I'm interested in what Logitech had to offer here. The best audio is still from professional headphones, those are the way to go. I use them for gaming and music all the time

Now we need a G915 refresh with PBT caps and Optical switches and a G Pro X Superlight with new Switches and we good to go

Great review. The mic quality is pretty bad for the price. I watched a number of reviews on G Pro X 2, and many reviewers also mentioned that the mic sucks.

So I know the headset only works wired on the Xbox. Anyone know if the mic will work wired on Xbox?

The 3.5mm aux wireless transmitter is perfect to pass-through my desktop mic monitoring through my mixer to the headset!

Which one should I choose? I’ve been using the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, I don’t like noise cancelling nub in the ear cup even though I’ve had WC Cushions. Should I switch them out for the G Pro X 2 Wireless?

Cool video! The USB is a dongle for wireless connectivity, simply plug and play.

Are they better than the turtle beach stealth pros? That’s the number one question here… wanting to buy one or the other, just waiting on your professional opinion first lol. Thanks brother, love the content!!

In the gaming perspective, I would like to know the depth perception of this headset compared with the others. Is this headset having a superior directional sounds to other headsets such as a cheaper headphone Sennheiser 560S?

I personally think Razers Blackshark looks like a better deal. Specially that mic

How is the clamp force compared to the nova pros or the tb stealth pros? I had to return both because I have a big head and they were extremely uncomfortable. Im trying to upgrade from some old Astro a40s which have been very comfortable but dated.

I'm happy with my blackshark v2 pro 2023. They really improved the microphone.

Beautiful review, thanks! 🥳🥳🥳

Hey Techne. What headset would you recommend for ps5 just for warzone gameplay? Also is there a EQ setting you thinks works best for footstep sound? Need professional help. Thanks

The V1s have had a lot of reports of the brackets cracking, and I have experienced this issues TWICE! I wonder how they addressed this issue on the V2.

The headphone port on the USB receiver is useful when you have speakers plugged in to your setup and your speakers don’t have an additional port but that’s a very specific case

Would be great to see a review on the Skullcandy Plyrs Wireless headset. Was thinking of getting it but would like your opinion

Amazing video I’m still In search for a great headset and I’m really bent on the max well they have just what I’m looking for and a little extra but I dkn I just feel if I buy them something better will pop up

I’ve waited so long for them to release the g pro with Bluetooth 😭 gonna cop this headset for sure

Which would you say are more comfortable for longer wear, the logitech or the blackshark v2?

Everything about this headset is perfect… except for the mic, the mic is honestly just disappointing

HI techne, which would you pick? H6pro closeback or GproX2 wired version ?

Hey Techne, not sure if it's already on the to do list, but could we get a G Pro X2 vs Arctis Nova 4X video?!

Is Logitech serious about putting a microphone on a second generation product that's exactly the same as it was four years ago? This mic is just a very cheap and normal microphone with a Blue label on it

Big thing for me, what's more comfortable the Logitech or the Arctic Nova pro?

I am confused between the hs80 because it has a great mic sound and its sound is balanced and the SteelSeries Artix 7+, which I liked is the control wheel between the game sound and the conversation sound. I have 200$ with do you recommend for me . I am pc player

Was wondering what your EQ setting were for the headphones? Seems like they took out the Adavanced EQ tab?

Hello, can you confirm that the ear clips are now metal and not plastic like the first model? Thanks

Do you think its a worth upgrade from the Blackshark v2 pro?

i already bought the arctis nova 7, should i return it ? or stick with it? please tell me

I like how these dont look like flashy gaming headphones

Between this headset and the BlackShark V2 Pro 2023 and SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P, which are better for hearing footsteps on COD? Or are they all equally good for FPS? I like all three, but i dont know which are better on PS5 for FPS

hey bro! I want to know if you inable the blue voice in G-HUB. It is possible that can be use in ps5? or It can only be use in PC? I need to know thanks ☺️

Which one is the best? This one or razer blackshark v2 pro 2023?

the dongle with the 3.5 mm port is prob for something like the GOXLR so you can output the audio to the dongle honestly very useful I might cop

Should I consider this headset over my Sony H7? I'm mainly focusing on Audeze Maxwell now, but starting to consider Logitech G Pro X2 (I like how they look, Audeze is 1.5x more expensive)

I need advice on choosing a headset. Please help me. I can’t decide between the Logitech G Pro X2 Lightspeed, HyperX Cloud Alpha S, HyperX Cloud Alpha, or HyperX Cloud 3 Wireless. I only have an integrated sound card (ALC897). Thank you in advance.

Someone in another review said it's imaging was very bad, what's your take on that?

Extremely helpful video :)

Does the icepop microphone work with these? And do you think that is better than the stock?

Hey, can you use the G-hub app on iPhone to control the EQ for the headphones? I’m PS5 console player only and the ease of using an app like what you can do on Razer Kiara and Astro A30. I would love to know before I spend 250 on these bad boys

Question, if you could only get the logitech g pro X2 or the Nova 7x which one would you choose to use for the rest of your life on a PS5?

8:38 its there for folks who *dont* have a 3.5mm jack in their system. Some laptops dont have it. Not sure why anyone would use wired over wireless anyways, but thats what it could be used for.

Never saw someone go so excited about swivel but you’ve always been a hardcore swiveler since I’ve been following. Wish this had simultaneous Bluetooth.. can you suggest a headset that does?

Wait. QUESTION! So with the USB having the 3.5 jack does that mean we can plug in a 3.5 cable from the USB receiver to a USB microphone like the BEACN mic and use that to monitor the mic input with hopefully little to no delay?

I definitely like your approach to new headsets and your reviews are still awesome

Logitech needs to get on the bandwagon of having a chat-game audio mix. Once you have that it's hard to go back.

Do you recommend pro x2 or nova pro ? In France audeze is not available + price is 389€.....

The 3.5mm input was done in g933 too.. That one allows for multi input. I wonder if this one does too

I've had the G933 dongle with the source in and I love to listen my music or my tv connected while I'm gaming. Also when I go away from My Pc with the G933, no cable in the way.

Are we able to use the headset wired while simultaneously using Bluetooth connection? Example: Connect the headset wired to PS5, while having music over Bluetooth

I would say 3,5mm jack in dongle is for devices with usb but lack of 3,5mm jack.

Razer Blackshark V2 Pro 2023 or Logitech G Pro X 2? What's your thoughts?

Logitech g pro X2 or the hyperx cloud 3 wireless? (Microphone doesnt matter since i have a elgato wave 3)

The Wicked Cushions really are a game changer!

we just want a new mouse man 😔😔

also works for goxlr can 3.5 straight into dongle instead of back on pc

Would you say that the Logitech headset is better than the Sony 3d pulse/elite? This goes for gaming and watching movies

Ty for reviewing

Hi I want to ask, any different sound quality between use as wireless and wired?

Is it fair to say that they have the best mic for wireless headsets right now?

I was wondering if the volume can be set higher than the Old one, bcs the old g pro was a little bit to Quiz for me. Is the new one Louder?

Although it may seem like a minor thing, that ear cup swivel is a huge upgrade. I owned the previous version and it was a terrible design flaw with the fixed position. When removing one earcup to hear what was going on in the room, there would be tension between the metal headband and the plastic piece that was held together with two very small metal screws. It broke within 9 months and I taped them together with gorilla tape. Logitech replaced them with eventually the same result. :(

How good is the sound stage on the BlackShark V2 Pro's comapred to the Logitech X2 Pro's?

Hey guys will this be better than the steelseries Arctic’s pro nova or will they both be about the same. Cause I currently have the steelseries just wondering if I should I look into getting these or sticking with the steelseries. Any thoughts on that

its weird that they have the same mic as the g1 but they arent advertising the Blue Ice Pop add on mic they sold for the G1 as being compatable. I hope it will still work together regardless of logitech not updating the produt page.

I love my audeze maxwell headset, just waiting for wicked pads to finish the production of accessories for it, the only real weird thing I have found on the maxwell is that after turning off volume limit off, I have to turn the volume wheel up until it beeps for max audio volume every time I turn them on

Hi, i have a choice gpro x2 for 180$ or arctis pro + gamedac for 80$ is it worth paying extra 100$ for gpro x2? i use headset for music an gaming on pc and ps5

the mic does not have the noise canceling right? Wanted to use them as my office headset too
