There was no perceivable distortion in any setting, even while cranking Run The Jewels tracks at max volume, which is fairly impressive.

In fact, Logitech’s proprietary Pro-G drivers offer very clear sound with great low-end. But that’s not to say the Pro headset is all bad.

Performance The lack of surround functionality in a headset which costs nearly $100 may be a deal breaker for a lot of PC gamers. The lack of customization with this headset, particularly in how sound is handled, makes the Pro moniker in this instance a real head-scratcher.

Again, the similar G433 headset-albeit with a USB connection-can access the software for audio presets and equalization. While it’s likely not much of a surprise the analog Pro doesn’t use Logitech’s Game Software program, it’s no less a bummer. It’s very easy to position in just about any setup, which makes getting correct positioning for different users real easy, but the foam pop-filter really pushes that dorky air traffic controller vibe I mentioned earlier. The boom mic is very understated, design wise, with a bendable wire-like structure and a pop filter covering the end. The accident-proof design of the latter is nice, because errant mute button presses in the middle of an online game are extremely aggravating. A mid-cable control unit offers simple roll dial volume adjustment and there’s a slide on the back for muting the mic.

But even then, the cable’s braided design seems plenty durable and the length is just about perfect for reaching a desktop tower without tons of extra cord. The cable on the Pro is removable from the headset, which could come in handy if you accidentally roll over it with your desk chair and need a replacement. Still, it’s nice to have the option to remove the pads and give them a clean-up, if needed. Logitech also includes a set of microfiber ear pads if that’s more your style, although I couldn’t notice any real difference between the two from a comfort or performance angle. As someone who wears glasses, this is generally my preferred style of headset and coupled with the lightweight build and soft leatherette ear pads on the Pro, I found them to be very comfortable even after a couple hours of continuous use.

The cans on the Pro are an around-the-ear design. The previously mentioned Logitech G433 includes DTS Headphone: X 7.1 and actually costs a few bucks less than the Pro. There’s no virtual surround on this headset, and for a device aimed at competitive players that’s frankly very disappointing. The padding feels high-end regardless of the pads you’re using, and the boom mic and cable are fully detachable and replaceable.But for PC gaming with chat, a removable headphone/mic Y-splitter cable lets the Pro hook up to the 3.5mm ports on the computer. They have a fairly similar build to the HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II with a metal headband frame and hinges. We have updated our review to reflect these changes. One of our colleagues also experienced a similar issue with their Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset within the first year of owning this headset and their solution was to use zip ties to hold the hinge in place. If you have experienced this issue and the headphones are outside the manufacturer's warranty, some users have suggested that super glue works well. As a result, we have decided to lower the 'Build Quality' score from '8.5' to '7.5' to reflect this widespread issue. At the moment, we're unable to test for long-term use in our test bench, and your feedback helps us to provide more information. Some users have reported breakage while under warranty, and some users have experienced this once they were out of warranty.

Update : There have been several user reports that the hinges on their units have broken over time.
