Not long ago I got the Logitech G PRO X2 Lightspeed - excellent headphones, with good 7.1 sound.
They’re compatible with PS5 thanks to the included dongle, have quick switching between two devices (dongle/Bluetooth), and also support wired connection (3.5mm jack). The mic is detachable. The battery life is very solid (compared to Sony’s exclusive PS5 headphones).
All in all, if I were to recommend something, it would only be these.
For music, I mostly use Apple AirPods Max and Pro.
It depends on version, g pro x 2 has battery for 50 hours and charges in 1.5-2h from pc. It's enough for me and if i want to go outside and use my headphones via phone I just click on button on them and enjoy or switch back in the same way but price is wall.
I have the Logitech G Pro X2 wireless, using their own USB BT-adapter. Works flawlessly out of the box, however firmware updates are kinda no-go in Linux.
That's because if Logitech, of course.
Every distro I've tried, 0 issues. Mic works perfectly too. Not sure if it's even possible in any way to update the firmware for them though, so that's a thing. However: if it works, don't fix it. 😅
I have Blackshark and Logitech Pro X 2 Lightspeed at home
I have very sensitive head and ears, if there's even a little bit of pressure, I have a headache and my ears hurt. So, I tested both headphones for about a month, but keep in mind I do always stretch them out quite a lot with books
Both of headphones were fine for me, but I've chosen Logitech for myself (Razer went to my partner) cause in Blackshark I felt more...warm? Like nothing hurt, it was fine, but it felt like there wasn't enough air coming through. So, if you buy these, I don't think you're gonna regret it, but -
I LOVE my Logitech Pro X 2. I spend about 3-4 hours gaming without any breaks, and it always feels great. Mic for me is not important, cause I have a separate one, but the mic's quality is also better than Blackshark. The only annoying thing about Logitech is its software, but I figured it out once and now all the settings are perfect
Hope this helps!
I have one and I love it. All you need to do is download a proper equalizer config from the Logitech community page because the default settings suck.
Edit: sorry I have a Pro X 2 Lightspeed ..
That’s a good point, I can position very well with the pro x 2. This is what I mainly use them for, online competitive gaming (mainly Overwatch) with friends.
Hi everyone,
I’m officially tired of the "2-year cycle" where gaming headsets snap, batteries die, or hinges start rattling. I’m ready to drop significant money on a high-end wireless headset that actually lasts.
**My Profile:**
* **Primary Use:** Competitive FPS (Valorant, CS2, etc.).
* **Priority 1:** Durability/Build Quality (Aiming for 5+ years of life).
* **Priority 2:** Long-session Comfort.
* **Priority 3:** Sound Imaging/Latency.
* **Budget:** Up to $250. I’m paying for quality and peace of mind.
I’ve narrowed it down to four contenders, but I have specific fears about each. I need your help to decide:
**1. Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed**
* **The Fear:** I’ve heard the mic is mediocre and the "clamping force" can be a bit much for 6+ hour sessions.
* **The Pull:** Graphene drivers (less distortion over time) and that all-metal fork construction. It feels like a tank.
**2. Razer Blackshark V3 Pro**
* **The Fear:** The build quality and materials. Since it is almost entirely made of plastic, I have a strong feeling it might be more "breakable" than the others. I’m also worried about those thin metal adjustment sliders (the hinges) being a major point of failure.
* **The Pull:** The mic is best-in-class and, from my research, this is arguably one of the best headsets for FPS imaging. It’s also incredibly light.
**3. HyperX Cloud III S Wireless**
* **The Fear:** It feels "too simple." No ChatMix dial, basic software, and no extra bells and whistles. Is the tech too dated compared to the others?
* **The Pull:** Legendary 120-hour battery. Fewer charging cycles = longer battery health. It’s the "Honda Civic" of headsets-reliable and comfortable.
**4. Fractal Design Scape**
* **The Fear:** It’s a newer entry in the headset market. Is the durability proven? Is the fabric-heavy design going to wear out or get dirty faster than leather/plastic?
* **The Pull:** The Charging Dock is a game-changer for me (no more worn-out USB ports). It has a sober, premium build and uses the LC3+ codec for ultra-low latency.
If your goal was to **never buy another headset again** (or at least for the next 5-7 years), which one would you choose? Is the Razer's fragility overblown? Is the Fractal Scape the sleeper hit I should be looking at? Or is the "safe" but basic HyperX the way to go?
Looking forward to your insights!
P.S. This is my first ever Reddit post, so please be kind! I've spent a lot of time researching this but I really value the "real-world" feedback from this community. Thanks in advance!
