I’ve been a hyperx user the last 3 years. I’ve owned the Cloud, and the Revolver S. I purchased these Logiteches as soon as they were announced, due to my great experience with other Logitech peripherals.These do not dissapoint! They are extremely comfortable, and sit great on my head. I have a large head (size 8 hat size), and this is the first headset I have owned that I didn’t have to completely max out. The ear muffs are large, and cover my ear with a comfortable clamping force that isn’t too light, or too heavy.The mic sounds absolutely incredible with the Blue software in Ghub.I do think the sound in the speakers was better in my HyperX Revolver, but it’s minimal difference, and might be something I can fix with EQ.I highly reccomend these!

Firstly, I AM an audiophile (at least, your crowd would consider me to be). I have owned several pairs of really good headphones, my favorite being a pair of $300 Argon modded T50RPs. And I think this headset is really good for the price. I have this review organized into different parts, so you can just to a particular section if you want, but I recommend reading the entire review (not just for mine, but for all reviews).-PACKAGING AND STUFF-The headphone comes in a foam sleeve for protection, which you can just slip off. It comes with two cables, a longer braided cable with a volume wheel and a mic mute button, and a slightly shorter rubber cable with a button meant for phone use. It also comes with a y-splitter which is for compatibility purposes with some PCs, but you won’t be using this because you’ll be using the USB dongle it comes with to use that Blue Voice technology. It also comes with a very nice carrying bag made with a similar material to some sweat pants, and an alternate pair of velour ear pads (velour is a soft and breathable material).-BUILD/COMFORT/ISOLATION-This headphone is really well built, with hard plastic cups and a metal headband covered with pleather. The cups also have a protruding machined metal circular G logo that reflect in the light, which you’ll either love or hate. The headband could use a bit softer padding, but it isn’t terrible. The ear pads fit over my ears perfectly, and seal very well. The good seal comes from the tighter clamping force of this headphone. Clamping force is just how tight the headphone is on you, and the nice thing about having a metal headband is that you can always bend the top of the headband back a few times to alleviate the clamping force (while still being careful) if it’s too tight and uncomfortable for you. The pads are soft and thick enough to provide standard comfort for us audio nerds, but if you’re used to crappy and uncomfortable headphones then this will be a a godsend for you. A quick note about the “noise cancelling” Amazon is asking me to review: this are not noise cancelling headphones. Noise cancelling (also called active noise cancelling, ANC) is when the headphones emit a frequency that tries to negate long and consistent sounds, such as airplane noise. These do have fantastic noise isolation, which is when the headphones have such a good seal that it’s harder to hear outside noises, even with nothing’s playing. That’s why I gave the “Noise Cancelling” 3 stars, because that’s not what this has.-MIC-To be clear; I’m a headphone guy, not a mic guy. That being said, while this definitely won’t compare to an expensive $150+ XLR mic setup, the mic on this headphone sounds really good, and I can’t imagine any headset around this price having as good of a mic. At least, that’s what I got from all of the comparison videos and reviews I watched before buying these. But where this shines is the software, allowing you to tweak the sound of your mic on the Logitech G Hub software. Like many others, I personally like the preset “Broadcaster 2”, but there are other presets too, including ones for people with high pitched loud voices or high pitched soft voices (as well as low pitched voice equivalents). Basically, there are a lot of presets to choose from and you can further tweak the settings if you want, creating the best sound profile for your voice.-SOUND QUALITY-REALLY good for the price. The sound overall is smoother and more natural than a pair of $150 headphones I own (AKG K552 MK2). While I have’t tested the sound extensively and compared it to all of my headphones, from what I can tell the sound signature is mostly neutral. This means that you won’t have higher or lower frequencies that are much louder than others (Beats headphones, for example, have much louder bass than everything else). This is generally good in a headphone, but if you wanted to boost the bass (or any other frequency) you can change the EQ in the G Hub Software. The soundstage isn’t very big, which means that it sounds like everything is in a small room with you rather than a few rows back in a concert hall like it would if there was a big soundstage. While most people would prefer having a large soundstage when playing games, it really comes down to personal preference. The stereo imaging is very good on these headphones too. Nothing game changing or absolutely amazing, but it does what it’s supposed to and doesn’t have any weird quirks like a pair of headphones I listened to at one point.This is really important though: please don’t click “Enable Surround Sound” in the G Hub Software. This enables virtual surround sound, which doesn’t really do anything when it comes to positional audio, but it does decrease audio quality by a little bit. Virtual surround sound is basically a scam, even the ones that do change the sound only over-exaggerate the imaging to unrealistic proportions, and will require you to get used to the new exaggerated sound. Games already have their own positional audio system, and exaggeration done by software is an alteration not intended by the sound team for that game. Headphones with “real” surround sound that have multiple drivers per cup will pretty much always sound worse compared to similarly priced headphones with one driver per cup (stereo headphones), because each driver will be and sound cheaper, and doesn’t help positional audio because they’re all in the same cup anyways. Thank you for listening to my TED Talk.

I though my mic was broken, i saw the other reviews and when i connected them up i got NO MIC AUDIO!I though i had faulty headphones too, turns out you need to use a litte extra force to secure bothe the headphone and usb sides.(See photo)Once they’re in all the way, rhe mic works great!Out of the box ,they have a nice netural sound.You can mess with the ghub app to tweak the eq settimgs to your likeing, and tou can even save your favorie EQ to the device for use on consoles!The mic is nice and clear, perfect for voice chat, or simple narations.(Much better than the g935 mic!)It may not be blue hardware, but it sounds good even without the voice enhacments.Overall a very good headset, maybe not good enough for pro voice work/audio editing, but great for the price!

These are the best headphones I have ever used, BUT! You must set them up with Logitech’s Ghub software. Don’t expect them to sound excellent unless you go in and customize them. Enable advanced EQ, Surround Sound, and Traditional DTS Super Stereo Mode. It sounds absolutely stunning when you do it right.I made my EQ (left to right) 4/3/2/4/7/9/7/5/7/3Multi-Channel: EntertainmentDTS Super Stereo: TraditionalAlso if you want the mic to sound good. Turn on “Blue Mic” and customize it to match your voice.I really suggest spending a good bit of time on this.Build quality is fantastic on this device. Some people are complaining about the weight, but it’s pretty fine if you ask me. I think the bit of heft it has makes it feel like a higher quality product. These headphones feel and look very solid.Unless you have VERY big ears, these should be comfortable for you. The muffs are large and cup my ears nicely with a bit of room to spare. You can also switch the material between leather and fabric depending on your preference.As you can expect with a set of headphones that connects through a wireless USB attachment, these headphones have flawless connection reliability and lossless sound quality. There is also no delay in the sound your hearing, making these excellent for competitive games like shooters and MOBA’s. I’ve tried normal Bluetooth headphones, and I refuse to use them anymore over this style. Normal Bluetooth has seriously bad connection issues and drops signals all the time for seemingly no reason. This seems to be consistent across the board on basically all headphones that strictly use Bluetooth. Even if you don’t choose these headphones, I would suggest finding a pair that connects through a USB attachment if you want a pair for your computer.Bluetooth good for cellphone/USB good for computers.My flaw with this pair of headphones is the noise cancellation. It’s a bit too good for my preference. It sometimes makes my head feel weird from the intensity of it. I’m not sure how to describe it, maybe cabin pressure or something?I think Logitech needs to ship this product with these changes shipped on the default installed software, and they need to include an option to adjust the noise cancellation intensity for people who are more sensitive to that.Btw all you have to do to connect these headphones is plug in the USB and turn the headphones on.Boom. Done. That was easy. Don’t be dumb and forget to make sure you have it selected though. Just click the little speaker on the bottom right of your screen. It should say Speakers (Logitech Pro X yadayadayada). If you don’t have it selected, it obviously will not play sound through it.For me personally, I have not experienced any hissing yet, so I think others just got a dud. If that happens to you, return it and get another one. Amazon’s return policy has your back.

I took a gamble on this headset since it has many negative reviews for some reason. I’ve been using this headset for a month now and it is wonderful. The USB soundcard works good. Inline controls and mic mute switch are good. I have not had any issues with the braided cable rubbing against my shirt and producing sound. The mic quality is excellent. Directional audio is good. The headset for long sessions is very comfy! I wear glasses and it is comfortable. The build quality is solid.But here is the catch: download the Logitech G Hub program to get full control of Microphone EQ’s, sound EQ’s AND to enable surround sound. I feel like most of the people who bought this headset did not download the program. That is more than likely the reason for the negative reviews. Everyone has different sound preferences, some like bass, some like clarity. The EQ’s give you full control.For PC gamers, this is a great headset. I can’t speak for console gamers but this headset is aimed heavily at PC users.Don’t let some of these reviews discourage you.

So I originally got the hyperx cloud revolver s’s as a replacement for my logitech g430s and myself having big ears it just didnt work out the drivers were always touching so i quickly returned them and pre ordered a pair of these which i was also very worried about because of how little space there is between the driver and the ear cup but rest assured that it is super comfortable like there isnt one thing i would complain about except! i will admit that the drivers on the hyperx cloud revolver s’s sounded much much louded and more pronounced but the g pro x lack the white noise in the surround sound that the hyperx clouds had. all in all its a really nice well build durable headset. just wish they had a little more ummmpfff in the speakers

First thing you notice when you open the box is that this is a quality headset. It does fit a little tight as some have said, but so far I’ve used it for hours on end and with a little adjustment have not had any major issues. The sound quality is outstanding, with excellent response and smooth spatial effects in surround mode. On rare occasions I hear a slight chirp when playing COD however, i’m not sure what that is yet, but it’s only once in a great while. There is no lag/delay whatsoever. The mic works well. Overall I find this a very satisfying purchase.UPDATE:The USB dongle for the headphones died after having it for a month or two. It started being detected as something other than Logitech, and it quit working. I ended up having to contact support. Long story short Logitech made sure I got a new, working pair of headphones in a very short time.Sometimes things break, that’s just how it is. But when a company steps up and fixes the issue as fast as they possibly can, I think that stands out.Good job, Logitech.

I don’t write many reviews anymore, and I wanted to find out myself why there were so many mixed or bad reviews. I’ve been a long time Arctis 7 user, and also came from many other headsets such as Razer BlackShark V2 Pro; including audiophile sets such as Sennheiser 598SR, Philips SHP 9500/Fidelio X2, etc. My wife got me a GPW for my bday a while back, which I’m in love with– normally I bash Logitech products/service, though I came from previous Logitech products and still use a MX Master 3 etc.Anyway, back on topic… I bought these because 1) Wireless is too clean and convenient to pass up, which is why I’ve been using my fine-tuned Arctis 7 with SS Engine EQ (even used Peace/Equalizer APO at one point). 2) I don’t like too many software suites, and wanted to stay within the GHub (haven’t had any issues). 3) I paid attention to the positive reviews for this and was super intrigued, plus I had an Amazon gift card to use, hehe.What I read about hissing and interference, and most of these bad reviews– I work in IT, and there’s a high probability of it being mostly user error. Keep in mind, this is on PC– I don’t know if there are more issues on console, etc. but pretty sure these were made for PC first. The surround sound is definitely worse than the Arctis 7, as it is very muddy. I do enjoy the auto-switching of sound profiles similar to SS Engine’s. For general use for the most part, I recommend turning off surround sound, and just running the natural “Flat” EQ– I prefer this genuine stereo sound, but feel free to mess around with other EQs. For the mic portion, I did notice slightly more static at higher gains– most mics are like this without a good DAC or sound card. I don’t use a DAC anymore, nor do I have an external sound card– I found that the “Broadcaster” and “FM Station” EQs for the mic were best; didn’t need to tweak any other settings. When I did, there was slightly more noticeable noise, but not terrible. The mic beats the Arctis 7 straight up… it’s not as terrible as what others have reported, or from some of the YouTube videos I’ve seen. Again, user error, I don’t know what extra tweaks they’re doing under Advanced settings, but using either Broadcaster or FM Station with Blue Voice enabled sounds great to me at around 88-90 gain. YMMW, and keep in mind other factors such as wireless interference, RGB lighting, etc. can all cause static, so keep that in mind and keep the dongle away from any devices that are prone to interfere; use an extension cable if you need to isolate the dongle.I mainly play FPS shooters like CS:GO, Apex Legends, and listen to a lot of music, but these are primarily for gaming. I really have no complaints, except that I wish the mic was retractable. I like my headphones more open for that nicer soundstage, so I run the fabric ear cushions as opposed to leather. I’m glad they included this because with the two pairs of Arctis 7s that I had, I purchased separate cushions for them ($25+/pair). I never used the Arctis 7 wired, so I didn’t care that the Logi’s can only run wireless. The battery life is also superior to the Arctis 7, by far; GHub also works a hell of a lot better than SS Engine, surprisingly. Again, I moved away from Logi minus their office line, and was hoping to be let down by these… but they have not disappointed. I can’t find a reason to deduct a star, and I don’t understand what these people are complaining about regarding the low volume… I’m guessing maybe they’re console, or not checking everything correctly/not using GHub properly. The volume knob has no stopping point like the Arctis 7, but the overlay is great and the dial feels good with some resistance. And who uses chat mix anyway? It’s trash and not necessary. With the Arctis 7, I also had to use VoiceMeeter Banana. Though I kinda like the SteelSeries input/output dongle/receiver, I rather have less cables; also rather not have to run VoiceMeeter Banana just to improve mic quality etc. which sometimes also caused static. The sound is just really balanced on these on all counts, and the mic is crisp and clear (a lot of the EQ profiles for the mic are meh; just use the ones I mentioned above). Also, try to keep input volume around 55-70, and boost with limiter or compression. Otherwise, if input volume (gain) too high, it’ll pick up extra background/noises.Anyway, thanks for the read, and hope this helps you guys and gals (and clears up some of the indecisiveness from the mixed reviews!). Hope Logitech keeps improving from here. Keep calm, and game on– cheers!

the wireless is a huge improvement over the wired version. The freedom it gives you is amazing and the battery life is quite long. The range is also fairly good provided that the usb receiver is either within line of sight or is not otherwise impeded by other wireless transmitters or too close to a wall(s).I had to move my usb receiver to a port on my keyboard to get a good signal. It did not work well under my desk and plugged into the back of the computer case. Eventually, I needed the port on my keyboard so I moved the usb receiver to the back of my monitor (which has a USB hub) and it works fine.

This headset is great. I have Astro A50s, HyperX Alphas, and the HyperX Cloud ll. Does this headset blow all these other headsets out? No. I do believe for the price point, they are a good contender. One thing without a doubt, the Blue Vo!ce microphone on this headset is far superior than any other headset/microphone combo. Microphone quality is great, presets modes sound great with a lot of customization to what YOU prefer. First compliment when I joined my friends with this microphone, “You sound so professional”.Sound Quality IMO sounds great. I do believe these are on par with the HyperX sound quality. I did notice however the 7.1 surround feature is not my preference. I currently use the 5.1 and have adjusted my equalizer to my liking. You want more bass? Bump the bass up. Treble? Bump it up. So much customization is what sets this apart from other headphones. Yes, you can buy or use aftermarket equalizer software to adjust other headphones. I’m not audio fanatic, but I do like quality and I feel Logitech has delivered with this headset. I also do like with the original ear pads, there is excellent noise cancellation which gives a better-quality sound and keeps the bass locked into the ear cuffs. I have had no issues with positional gaming with the headphones.For me, the Logitech G Hub works perfect as I have a Logitech keyboard and mouse. I did have issues with G Hub at first, but that was user error. Once I took time to learn G Hub and mess around with the settings, I have had no issues. Take time to learn the software and you will be able to get these headphones to the microphone sounds and audio sounds you prefer.I have had 5-6 hour gaming sessions and have had zero comfort issues. Build quality feels great, similar build quality as HyperX. Design and looks, IMO look better than the HyperX headphones.Overall, if you want to go for something cheaper, than HyperX is still a good choice without a doubt. If you want good microphone quality and the ability to really customize a headset to your audio liking on the fly? Then this headset it for you. To me, it was worth spending the extra money for the microphone quality alone. I am no streamer, but communication is key to playing well in a game. If you have a crap microphone and no one can understand you, then what good are you?I will continue to use the Logitech G Pro X 7.1 Surround as my primary headset as I believe overall is a better preforming product.Don’t let other reviews discourage you about G Hub. Learn the software. With all the software you use to update drivers, graphics cards, Stream Decks, RGB Lighting and so on… Logitech software works great.You won’t be disappointed.
