The wireless revolution is here. Fresh off cutting the cord from its top gaming mice and gaming keyboards, Logitech has put the shears to its gaming headset lineup, transforming the Logitech G Pro X into the Logitech G Pro X Wireless. In this makeover, little has changed except the price: at $200 (£190), it's not a cheap headset.

Most of what you hear about the wired Pro X gaming headset also applies to the wireless version. Namely, you'll find the same sleek, all-black exterior manufactured with leatherette and memory foam over a steel headband construction. The design is simple, sleek, and free of any lighting that would shorten battery life.

Wireless communication is handled by Logitech's Lightspeed wireless feature and is provided through the use of a 2.4GHz wireless adapter. This USB Type-A dongle is considerably larger than the one found in the Logitech G915 TKL and G Pro Wireless, meaning that there is no clever storage for the adapter on the headphones themselves while on the move, as is the case with similarly named mice and keyboards.

Logitech is at least generous with the boxed extras. The included black carry bag at least holds both components of the G Pro X Wireless.

Also included is a USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable. Yes, Logitech has finally heard of USB Type-C and switched to it, although at this time it only charges the headset; because of the USB Type-A connection, if you want to use the G Pro X Wireless with a thin and light laptop or mobile device, adapter will be required.

Thankfully, Logitech includes a non-braided cable for charging, which is transmitted through the cable to my eardrums, allowing me to listen to music while charging the headset without causing the ear-splitting scratches I had with the wired version.

The battery, disconnected from the main power supply, is capable of 20 hours of operation. We had no problems reaching this mark even after several days of general on/off use.

The wireless capability brings the total weight of the Pro X Wireless to 370 grams (13 ounces), 50 grams more than the wired version. In theory, this is a considerable weight increase. However, without both headsets in my hands, I can't say that I noticed the weight increase during actual wear.

Two 50mm neodymium drivers drive the G Pro X Wireless. These are the same hybrid mesh Pro-G drivers as the wired set, and my impression remains the same. In other words, the twin Pro-G drivers are nothing special. I prefer the near-flat EQ of the Pro-G drivers, but these particular drivers are muddled, with no clear definition throughout the entire range, whether in gaming or music.

The microphone is also a bit disappointing. Too strong in the treble range, it lacks bass and midrange and does not produce sharp tones. The built-in Blue Vo.ce feature provides some respite in the form of a custom EQ, but most of the presets only further exacerbate the sharp tone and response.

As I said before, this is a clear mic for teammates. However, it is a bit slow compared to other gaming headsets such as the Steelseries Arctis lineup and the HyperX Cloud Alpha.

Many of my complaints about the Logitech G Pro X wireless gaming headset boil down to my understanding of what the company's Pro series is supposed to be: according to Logitech's website, "with and for the world's leading esports professionals. designed with and for the world's leading esports professionals". However, it seems as though only a handful of products in the Pro series fit that bill.

The Logitech G Pro X Wireless offers nothing that its competitors do not, albeit often in a much less lofty headset. And it is frustrating to see basic functionality, which would be the success or failure of any good gaming headset, slanted as if it were the exclusive demand of professional gamers.

And the Logitech G Pro X Wireless, despite its stellar brand name, is actually quite mediocre: drivers are fine, microphone quality is so-so, and there is little to differentiate it from other gaming headsets. Drivers are fine, microphone quality is so-so, and there is little to differentiate it from other gaming headsets.

This is $70 more than the wired type, which in my opinion is already a bit overpriced, and is only augmented by the fact that it comes with a USB-3.5mm DAC. Such is not included in the wireless pair, nor is it necessary.

Logitech's back-to-basics approach with the G Pro X Wireless, once combined with the high price tag, sets it up for a decline, and it simply cannot deliver what it takes to justify the down payment.
