Logitech - PRO Gaming Headset

So I’ve had these OG g pros not x for 5 years. Got them when they first came out in 2019 for 100$. Well I really liked them. Prime day deals had them 69$. Ordered them up and the audio is worse? What’s the deal here? I play bf2042 a lot. My original g pros using the dac and dts enabled in windows spatial settings sounded fantastic. I could hear people from all directions fine. Well this new dac for the pro X has it only through g hub. It sounds muffled. The foot steps are literally non existent and all I hear is explosions and gun fire across the map but before had no problem. Fiddled with the eq got it to sound slightly better but it’s not even in the realm of the g pro using the windows setting for dts. I paid for a license years back as I didn’t realize they made just a g pro non x. Wondered for years why I had no surround setting in g hub. Any fix before I return these things? Not trying to spend an arm and leg and feel I just wasted $$ because despite the condition of the 5 year old g pros they work fine and sound great still I just figured it was a good time to buy a backup on sale and was torn on the cloud iii vs these but had good luck with the previous set. G hub was uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version before plugging them in. Also the blue voice…. In 5 years are very competitive gaming. Never once heard someone say I sound weird. Or bad. Or anything. Now using the blue voice everyone says I sound weird and completely different.

My original g pros non x have been through 2/3 sets of ear pads. Only replaced because the wires are exposed. Still have them as a back up.

I mean I’m happy with mine. I just know how dts sounds normally not through g hub and it’s fantastic. I used them g pros 5years + I have no complaints at all about the build quality or sound quality of the g pro. It’s just the replacements (g pro x) sound terrible in comparison to using dts through the windows settings. There’s some work arounds and I’ll try them out once the other headsets arrive. Might even use a different sound card all together. Gonna try them all ways and also compare to 2 other headsets I ordered. Whichever I like most I’m keeping.

This is actually how I’m going to try them tonight after work. I have 2 more headsets coming. Hyper X cloud iiis and senheiser game. Gonna try them all various ways. With and without dac. Heck I outta do a video comparison too. I love the build quality of the g pros I just wanna hear some other headsets as I’ve only used these in 5 years so who knows. May end up keeping these after all. Praise the lord for free amazon returns lol.

I tried the HyperX and it had dogshit bass, and sounded awful. To me. Everything is subjective. The best headset I've ever used, again, to me, have been the Logitech pro-X. Amazzzzzing bass. You hear it differently in those things. I don't know why or what happened but every other headset I tried, all the "professional" ones like razer etc all sounded tinny and terrible. Like so bad I felt they were closer to Five Below quality airpod sounds.
