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.
Never had a complaint about my mic.
No. The first Gen.
Logitech G pro SE. I recently changed to this model from my steelseries nova 7 and its much better. Even though Reddit has mixed reviews, I've had it for 2 months and the mic quality is great. Love the sleek look of the headset and its ear cushions.
My friends kept saying I had mic issues. I bought these back in December and forgot I had the Best Buy plus return period. I returned them and got the rog delta 2 mic. It has a bigger 10mm wide band mic over the logitechs 6mm They both have 50mm drivers and I think the Logitech sounds about or a little better but the rog delta has Bluetooth and 2.4 ghz mode & I’m able to connect my phone and pc simultaneously. I also use them for work now and I think there the best gaming mic I’ve ever had so far. Not needing a dongle is a big plus for me tbr. I also use them for work and the mic sounds nice and clear.
tbh and imo nothing wrong with them, love the equalizer feature, never has anything else before the only thing that bothers me is where the volume wheel stands on the cable its too easy to make the sound louder or more quiet by just moving around and playing in general
They hurt my ears so I returned them but the sound was good. I ended up with Delta 2 that felt much more comfy and the sound was on par
