Review on Renewed Logitech G PRO X Wireless Lightspeed Gaming Headset with Blue VO!CE Mic Filter for Immersive Gaming Experience by Micha Borkowski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Mediocre goods, most likely I will not use.

I want to forewarn you that if you decide to buy this item, you'll have to make not one but two tough decisions: You can connect the included USB DAC to your headphones for muffled sound and a high-quality microphone, or you can use a standard 3.5-millimeter headphone jack and gain crystal-clear audio at the expense of the Blue Yeti's microphone (though I won't rule out the possibility that your computer's built-in microphone is just as good as the Blue Yeti's). People are seriously refusing to buy these products, and someone just returned theirs to the store under warranty, so I'm still waiting for Logitech to start respecting their customer base. If you look at the western reddit, people are constantly complaining about how much they hate the G HUB software and some Logitech G products. No theoretical framework can accommodate such an outlook. In the future, I may revise this review; if the codec problem is fixed, I'll either remove the lines where I address the codec or make a notation that the problem is no longer an issue. The inclusion of a microphone was the deciding factor in my purchase of these headphones. This was because my prior microphone was of poor quality. However, I am not currently recommending that anyone purchase these headphones.

Pros
  • The high quality of the building's construction is not a shock to me. No major issues have been raised by users about the microphone's sound quality. The voice quality is superb when using headphones with a USB DAC, making them ideal for both work and play. The headphones come with an adjustable stand, ear cushions, two wires, and a carrying case. - If you contact the headphones by accident, the wire will likely come loose from the connector and need to be replaced. Everything on my old headphones was soldered on the inside, thus touching them may potentially snap the cable. The most practical approach is removable wiring. Then, (it failed)
Cons
  • Since last year, Westerners have been moaning about the DTS: Sound Unbound codec not functioning properly and resulting in crackling audio when activated on Windows. There is zero manufacturer support for the G HUB software, and it is incredibly annoying and dumb. Assuming the headphones are linked through the same USB DAC (using a 3.5 mm port will allow for both DTS and Dolby Access to function properly), if DTS isn't functioning properly, Dolby Access won't even be a choice to select. It appears that the only reason you need to use the supplied USB DAC is so that the Blue Yeti technology in the microphone would work, and the sound via it is a complete mess. - If you try to utilize DSP and activate the headphones via USB DAC at the same time, the player will crash (maybe not for you). - Only when the headphones are connected by USB DAC can you use the Blue Yeti feature.
