![]() We are currently still in the process of testing the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro, the wired (and therefore less expensive) version of the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, but it's already evident that it's the best gaming headset on the market right now. Plus, they just have more superior mics so your teammates can hear you loud and clear. In fact, the more recent releases we’ve tested – and we’ve put so many through its paces to gauge its performance, comfort, features, and design – focused just as much on delivering excellent audio as they do offering gaming features. What’s more many of the newer gaming headsets can give the best headphones a good run for their money in terms of audio quality. They are very compelling reasons why many gamers prefer a gaming headset over PC speakers, and it’s next-level immersion. Some even boast game-specific features like enhanced environmental sounds (often called superhuman hearing) and better sound imaging, both of which can help you get to the top of the leaderboards. That includes keeping you focused in the game and keeping the noise level down, especially when you're in the middle of intense battles, so you don't disturb your roommates in the middle of a late-night session. Still, it’s a “steep” price for a wired headset, by 2019 standards.While the best computer speakers have their place in the world, and every computer setup should have one, there are things they can't do that only the best PC gaming headsets can. I actually think the G Pro X is eminently reasonable at $130-and presumably cheaper, once it’s hit perpetual Amazon sale, as all these headsets do. Logitech’s G Pro X is the company’s best headset yet. It might not be the best solution for recording a podcast or other production work, but it would suffice-and that puts it in exclusive company indeed. There’s a reason most headset mics don’t aim beyond “it works.”īut you could do more with the G Pro X, probably. It’s the most flattering headset mic I’ve used, and the difference between the unfiltered input and the doctored output is miraculous.ĭoes it matter? Maybe not, if you’re just voice-chatting with friends while playing your favorite shooter. The “Broadcaster” presets make the G Pro X sound, if not quite on-par with a standalone desk microphone, then pretty damn close. G Hub gives you a ton of software control though, all Blue-branded, and the results are stunning. We’ve established that the G Pro X is Logitech’s best-looking headset. Given how luxurious everything else feels, this control solution is a bit disappointing. ![]() A control box hangs about a foot below the headset, with a chintzy volume wheel and mic-mute toggle. The bigger issue is that Logitech’s gone the way of cheap in-line controls instead of building them into the headset. I can deal with wires, though I do hope Logitech makes a wireless version of the G Pro X at some point-or at least a wireless headset with the G Pro X’s aesthetic. The G Pro X comes with multiple cables though, and on PC you’ll probably use the detachable 3.5mm male-to-male cable into the USB dongle, for 7.1 support and other software effects-including Blue-branded microphone tech. That surprised me honestly, as Logitech’s been very gung-ho about wireless everything these past few years. My only “complaint,” really, is that it’s a wired headset. ![]() Padding is extremely generous though, and while the G Pro X is slightly heavy, it never felt uncomfortably so. Comfort is overall extremely high, though it takes a few days to properly break in the headset. ![]()
