Logitech G Pro X 2 Review

Logitech’s esports flagship is now in its second generation, and the Pro X 2 Lightspeed’s pitch is unusually concrete: 50mm drivers with a graphene coating, a 50-hour battery, and a microphone whose best performance is manufactured in software. That combination sets it apart from rivals — and also defines its two real weaknesses.

Graphene drivers and the 50-hour battery

Logitech’s official listing centers on the 50mm PRO-G graphene drivers, rated 20Hz–20kHz into 38 ohms passive, with hybrid memory-foam pads in leatherette plus a second fabric set in the box. The frame is aluminum at the forks with a steel headband, and the whole assembly weighs 345 grams — lighter than its predecessor, with new swiveling hinges that let the cups sit flush against the head. Wireless runs over 2.4GHz LIGHTSPEED with a rated range of up to 30 meters, alongside Bluetooth and a 3.5mm analog fallback. Battery is listed at up to 50 hours, and the 2-year limited hardware warranty is stated on the product page.

DTS Headphone:X 2.0 provides virtual surround on PC through G HUB, and competitive presets can be saved to the headset itself.

The microphone is a software story

The 6mm detachable cardioid capsule is, raw, only average — a point review consensus keeps returning to. What changes the equation is Blue VO!CE in G HUB: a high-pass filter, noise reduction, de-esser, compressor, and limiter chain, with pro presets and profiles that save directly to the USB dongle. Enabled, reviewers consistently rate the result as one of the better headset mics available; disabled, it does not earn its flagship price. If you want hardware-first mic performance, read our gaming headset mic quality guide before deciding — the tradeoff is real.

Against the BlackShark V2 Pro

The picks section below lines the Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed up against the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro and the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless — the flagship systems headset. The rivals argue their own cases: the BlackShark V2 Pro undercuts it by $50, runs 70 hours to its 50, weighs 320 grams, and its HyperClear Super Wideband mic is strong without software help — it wins the mic argument outright. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless counters with hot-swappable batteries, hybrid ANC, and a DAC base station, but costs $100 more and does not pretend to be an esports tuning exercise.

The PC-first competitor

The Pro X 2 is the pick for a PC-first competitive player who wants graphene-driver clarity, all-day comfort, and is willing to live in G HUB to get the mic. Battery life and out-of-box mic quality first? The Razer is the sharper buy. Multiple systems and ANC on the checklist? The SteelSeries is the systems answer. The 2.4GHz dongle link is central to this class of headset — our 2.4GHz vs Bluetooth latency guide explains the gap in numbers.
