Logitech G Pro X

The Logitech G Pro X is a wired gaming headset with best-in-class sound and one of the best microphones we've tested. It's built like a tank and priced aggressively, especially at Memory Express in Canada. Comfort is the main trade-off, but for competitive gamers, it's hard to beat.

The sound profile here is the star of the show. The 50mm PRO-G drivers deliver a 20Hz to 20kHz response that lands in the 98th percentile of our database. That's not just good for a gaming headset, that's best-in-class territory. Bass has real impact without drowning out the mids, and the imaging is precise enough that you can actually track directional audio cues in a firefight. Footsteps, reloads, ability sounds, they all sit exactly where they should.

The microphone is nearly as impressive. It's a detachable boom mic with noise cancelling, and it hits the 95th percentile in our testing. The Blue VO!CE software adds a noise reducer, compressor, and limiter, which means your voice comes through clean even if your keyboard sounds like a typewriter in the background. Just remember that the USB sound card and software are Windows-only. Plug the 3.5mm jack straight into a console and you lose the fancy processing, though the mic still sounds decent on its own.

Stacked against the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4, the G Pro X is a completely different animal. The MOMENTUM 4 is a wireless, ANC-equipped lifestyle headset that costs significantly more. It's more comfortable and more versatile for music and travel, but it can't touch the G Pro X for competitive gaming audio or mic clarity. If you want one headset for everything, the MOMENTUM 4 makes sense. If you want a dedicated gaming tool, the Logitech wins.

The Sony WH-CH720N and Soundcore Life Q20 are both budget wireless options with ANC. They're lighter and more comfortable for all-day wear, and the Sony especially is a solid pick for casual listening. But neither has a detachable boom mic, and their sound profiles are tuned for music, not positional audio. The JBL Tune 670NC and QCY H3 PRO are similar stories. They're fine for what they are, but they're not built for competitive gaming the way the G Pro X is.

At USD 90 in the US, the G Pro X is an easy recommendation for anyone who wants top-tier gaming audio without spending top-tier money. The Canadian pricing is where things get interesting. We're seeing a CAD 52 spread across vendors, from CAD 108 up to CAD 160. Memory Express has the best deal right now at the low end, and at that price, this headset is a steal. At the higher end, you're getting into territory where wireless options start to look tempting, but you'd be giving up the mic quality and sound precision that make the G Pro X special.

The Logitech G Pro X is a wired gaming headset that's been around long enough to earn a reputation, and after digging through our database, it's easy to see why. This is a closed-back, over-ear headset built around a pair of 50mm PRO-G drivers, a detachable boom mic, and a USB sound card that unlocks Logitech's Blue VO!CE software. It's aimed squarely at PC and console gamers who care more about hearing footsteps and sounding clear in Discord than they do about wireless convenience or noise cancelling.

Pricing is a bit of a rollercoaster in Canada. We're seeing it listed anywhere from CAD 108 to CAD 160 depending on the vendor, with Memory Express sitting at the low end of that range. In the US, it's a flat USD 90. For a headset with this level of mic quality and build, that's a pretty compelling entry point, especially if you're not married to the idea of cutting the cord.

So is the Logitech G Pro X good for gaming? Short answer: yes, very. It's not the most comfortable headset we've tested, and the software features are locked to Windows, but the core audio and voice performance punch well above what the price tag suggests.

Skip the G Pro X if you're a console-only player who wants plug-and-play surround sound, since the 7.1 processing is locked to Windows. Also skip it if comfort is your top priority, the clamp force and weight make it a rough choice for marathon sessions. If you need wireless, look at the Sony WH-CH720N or Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 instead. And if you want ANC for travel or commuting, this headset's passive isolation is mediocre at best, so a dedicated ANC pair like the Soundcore Life Q20 makes more sense.

Should you buy the Logitech G Pro X? If you're a PC gamer who wants a wired headset with exceptional sound and a genuinely great microphone, yes. This is one of the easiest recommendations we can make in the gaming headset space. The sound quality is elite, the mic is a standout, and the build quality feels like it'll survive years of rage quits and LAN parties.

But if you're a console-only player, or you want something you can wear for six hours without noticing, or you need wireless freedom, this isn't your headset. The comfort is the biggest weakness here, and the software features are wasted without a Windows PC. For everyone else, especially at the CAD 108 price from Memory Express, this is a no-brainer.
