Logitech was the first to prove that wireless gaming peripherals could be a thing with its Lightspeed wireless tech and the Pro X Wireless is quite simply the wireless version of the popular Pro X.
By standards of gaming headsets, these hew to a very minimalist aesthetic, and they remind me of aviator headsets, not unlike the Razer BlackShark V2. There’s plenty of metal used here, from the spun-metal pieces on the exterior to the headband mechanism, which further contributes to the premium feel. Everything is extremely sturdy and well-built, but this does mean that the Pro X Wireless is fairly heavy, weighing a good 370g.
The added weight, combined with a higher clamping force than I’m used to, means that the Pro X Wireless can start to feel a bit uncomfortable after long hours. I’ve yet to find a gaming headset that beats the Razer BlackShark V2 in terms of comfort for me, and the memory foam padding on the Pro X’s steel headband is considerably less plush than that on Razer’s headset.
The Pro X Wireless comes equipped with leatherette ear cups by default, but Logitech has also included replacement fabric ear cups that are more breathable. I preferred these over the leatherette, and it’s nice having an option that you know won’t peel over time.
All the headset controls are located on the left ear cup, including a microphone mute button, volume wheel, power switch, and thankfully, a USB-C port for charging. The microphone is detachable, so you can dispense with it if you’ve got a better external one. One thing to note – the Pro X Wireless does not support wired operation at all, so you’ll still need to leave the 2.4GHz dongle plugged in even when the USB-C cable is connected.
