Wired gaming headsets are gradually losing the battle to their cord-free counterparts. Still, a diehard group of gamers will only rely on the consistent sound quality of wired headsets such as the Logitech G Pro X Headset. Logitech’s peripheral appeals to competitive gamers who can’t risk wireless interference during tournaments. Even if the Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed minimizes lag, wireless connectivity adds to its cost, which has also been cut down by 40%. Regardless, the corded Pro X is even more affordable during its current Black Friday sale.
Not having to recharge the Logitech G Pro X is far from the only reason pros use this headset. Since these gamers are more likely to wear the device for long hours, comfort and durability are priorities. The headset obliges with soft memory foam ear pads that mold themselves to different ear shapes and sizes. Unlike most competing headsets, the Pro X ships with both leatherette and velour cushions. Gamers in noisier environments benefit from improved noise cancellation with leatherette, while the velour option is more breathable.

Even five years after their release, older Pro X headsets can still be found in like-new condition. The headset uses a firm, but flexible steel headband, with aluminum in sensitive joints to handle the rigors of the competitive gaming circuit. With each purchase, Logitech includes a carrying bag to provide further protection when traveling. At 320 grams, the G Pro X is reasonably lightweight, considering its impeccable build quality.
A wired headset can overcome the compatibility issues many wireless alternatives face. Buyers have the option to use a USB connection to PCs with an external sound card that enables more software control. The headset also connects to Xbox and PS5 gaming controllers through a standard analog audio cable.
The Logitech G Pro X produces balanced sound with powerful, precise 50 mm drivers. However, the headset’s use of DTS Headphone:X 2.0 gives esports participants an advantage. In tandem with software, the Pro X boosts critical audio cues in FPS titles, like enemies’ approaching footsteps. This surround sound headset also excels at cinematic single-player games, distinguishing between every layer of sound.
Whether communicating with teammates in games or conferencing with co-workers, a headset with a dependable microphone is essential. The Pro X’s detachable mic performs adequately on its own, but the Logitech G Hub app unleashes Blue Vo!ce filters. Using AI technology, the software isolates a player’s voice and boosts a recording’s quality.
If you are looking for a wired headset that’s a bit less reliant on software, then the Razer BlackShark V2 fits the description. Razer’s already affordable headset is discounted for Black Friday. Like the Pro X, it offers robust sound quality. On the other hand, the BlackShark V2 has superior passive noise cancellation and excels with higher-frequency sounds. We reviewed the even cheaper BlackShark V2 X, which has the best microphone quality of any budget gaming headset.
