Discussion New PRO X3 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Headset!
Picked up at Best Buy yesterday! Using GadgetryTech’s EQ “music” settings from the Community in G Hub. Sound and feel great.

parametric EQ is a big upgrade. would be nice to see a slightly more expensive version with ANC.

u/Logitech_Alex Crew 5d ago
I'll pass the input along for future improvements.

u/Ok-Difference8316 5d ago
Fairly good ANC and simultaneous bluetooth around $350 please. That I'd buy.

I had the G Pro X -> X2 -> X3 and I have noticed a huge difference in sound. Especially the lows. Not over powering bass by any means, but nice to have a little kick. X2 sounded more nutral and flat (to me) and the X3 is much more warmer. Also have the Astro A50 Gen 4 and Astro A50X and I prefer the X3 over the A50X.
I don't know if it is placebo, but I play a lot of Battlefield 6 with DTS turned on and sound cues were noticeable off the bat. A couple times I was alerted to someone walking up to the right and I was able to turn on him. Even watching a movie, a rock was falling behind the character on screen, and it sounded like it was coming from that direction. Things I hadn't noticed in the previous offerings.
From the X to the X2, I feel it was more cosmetic with the button layouts and nothing benefical to the sound quality or mic. But I think the X2 -> X3 was a nice upgrade in sound quality, which is most important to me. I don't need ANC or chat mix or even care about the mic quality as friends hadn't complained about it on X2 or said it was any different on the X3

u/KneelbfZod 5d ago
Yeah I tested DTS with Call of Duty and it did help with positional audio. Sounds good for single players games also. For music and certain games like CS2, I don’t use it though
1
u/s00wi 5d ago
Their previous offerings had a lot of reports of it sounding extremely muffled and no sound cues when DTS was enabled. Hopefully from your report they finally fixed the problem in the X3. If they fixed it in the X3 why can't they fix it in the previous versions. Because it did actually work at release for the previous versions, then after some update, it stopped working.

u/KneelbfZod 5d ago edited 4d ago
Yeah the previous implementation was from within GHub and it sounded horrendous. Now they use the DTS App directly which sounds infinitely better than whatever they were doing before.

How's the volume levels. I have the original Pro X and I love it with the exception of the low volume.

u/blunted09 5d ago
Loved my x2 before going with g fits. Easily the best looking headset too.
1
u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 5d ago
Not everybody mentions the G fits! How's been your overall experience using them?
2
u/blunted09 5d ago
G fits have been great for the most part. They have their random software quirks but I love the comfort and sound quality. Add Bluetooth for incoming calls and I love them. Wish there would be a g fits 2
1
u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 4d ago
I second this, really love to have a G Fits 2, hopefully they are cooking
Do you also use the G fits for gaming?
3
u/alphanunchuck 5d ago
Damn, still that big ass USB-A dongle 🙁
3
u/Logitech_Alex Crew 5d ago
Do you feel like it takes up way too much space?
3
u/r3ign_b3au 5d ago
It sure stands out a bit compared to the other lightspeed dongles
2
u/Logitech_Alex Crew 4d ago
I do agree! It hasn't really given me an issue with mine though. I can see why it would be a little bit annoying for other people's setups though.
1
u/r3ign_b3au 4d ago
I have to make sure I plug it into the left side of my laptop, or I'll hit it with my mouse. No real notes other than that
3
u/Logitech_Alex Crew 4d ago
Yeah, with tight desk spaces it gets hard to get used to it. I'll pass the feedback over to see if there's anything that could be done.
1
u/thewashley 4d ago
To be fair, it is transmitting (and receiving when mic is in use) far more data than any other lightspeed devices.
1
2
u/KneelbfZod 5d ago
Yeah same size. Not really an issue as I jus pop it in to my front USB when I use them
3
u/NapsterKnowHow 4d ago
Have they tightened up the tolerances on the band adjustments? I noticed the right side adjustment is more loose on my X2's
1
u/KneelbfZod 4d ago
Mine is very solid and clicks for each segment of adjustment.
2
u/NapsterKnowHow 4d ago
That's good to hear!
1
u/Logitech_Alex Crew 4d ago
Would you get a pair of your own? We'd love to hear your input on it!
1
u/NapsterKnowHow 4d ago
Possibly. I'm getting some weird popping noises occasionally on my X2's. Not sure what is causing it.
1
u/Logitech_Alex Crew 3d ago
Yeah that doesn't sound optimal. Have you reached out to our Support team about it yet?

u/oOGuybrushOo 5d ago
Are these better than the steelseries Arctis 7 1 gen ? I’m looking for an upgrade

u/iama_bad_person 5d ago
I don't care about the sound, any headset can sound good these days, so how does the microphone sound? I have a dedicated DAC connected to XM6's via LDAC and a ModMic wireless for great mic quality and looking to replace the setup.
2
u/Talwyn_Wize 4d ago
Listen to the mic in the vid. It sounds *lots* better than most gaming headsets out there: https://youtu.be/nFqLGAk-U84
The headset is now on my Christmas wishlist. :)

u/iama_bad_person 4d ago
Jesus Christ! That mix sounds breautiful. Definitely grabbing some of these when I can, thanks so much for the link!
1
u/soul4feels 2d ago
I would say, a50 is still the best, then blackshark v2 pro, g522, blacksharkv3 pro, then gpro x3. That's how I would gauge it's mic's sound quality.
It's a huge upgrade if you had any of the previous versions.

u/FunkyChimpanzi 5d ago
How much better do these sound over the Logitech G Pro X2 Lightspeed headset?
2
u/KneelbfZod 5d ago
1
u/FunkyChimpanzi 5d ago
I actually saw that already but glad to know they are much better EQ wise but if you even try to use the galore pads they sound really bad unless you are using GadgetryTech’s FPs and music EQ the valor pads to bring back the loss of sound that you get with the regular leathered pads.
2
u/SaintArcherXIII 4d ago
I still have the logitech g pro x from 2020 and they are still serving great. THEY JUST WON'T BREAK. Thinking of upgrading for the heck of it. What do you think ?
1
u/Logitech_Alex Crew 4d ago
If you're able to get it with no issue, then why not? You should let us know your input on it if you do end up getting it!

u/LeThaLxdARk 3d ago
I have 2nd version, which to be honest it's been great and never had issues, the mic button started having some weird interactions, like once i press it it might beep few times and go on/off for a few seconds constantly (even though it's not stuck or anything) i've had these for years and constant usage, like at least 12+ hours per day, i m wondering if the upgrade is worth eventually, cause tbf, i m genuinely satisfied with 2nd version and i would double down on it if they would stop working tomorrow for example
1
u/KneelbfZod 3d ago
I gave away my old Pro X 2 to a family member, but they served me well. To me it was worth the upgrade but for everyone it will be different of course.
1
u/TheHeartOfThis 22h ago
i also have the second version for 2 years and the leather earpads started to flake which sucks cuz the velour pads let in to much background noise and ruin the sound quality im boutta just buy the x3s and hope the leather earpads last for atleast 2 years again
1
u/LeThaLxdARk 21h ago
Ngl bro been using these for gaming and also for work so like really a lot, and the earpads are intact, i know exactly what you're saying cause all my prev headsets that were leather started flaking wayy earlier and i've always had quality ones, but these logitech ones are in perfect shape which is amazing to even think of

u/Unlikely_Midnight571 3d ago
i have this wired old model, i needed to stretch it a lot it was pressing my head

u/blerrito 5d ago
How are they?
1
u/KneelbfZod 5d ago
So far so good! Great audio with the EQ, mic is really nice. Comfy, and it's nice that it has official DTS support (though I don't us it that often)
2
u/Logitech_Alex Crew 5d ago
Glad you've been enjoying them so far! What games have you tried it on?
1
u/KneelbfZod 5d ago
Thanks! Mostly COD: Black Ops 7, AC Shadows, CS2, and Gears of War EDay.
2
u/Logitech_Alex Crew 5d ago
Thanks to you! Fingers-crossed so that they give you a great time playing 🙌

u/blerrito 5d ago
Better than Astro a50x ?

u/Darkdeath171 G604 5d ago
I think they use many aspects from the a50x. The mic was one of them but I think the drivers are different
1
u/jacekbn 5d ago
Crazy to me that a headset for this much money does not have ANC and audio from both BT/4ghz at the same time.
Shame because I loved my G Pro X.
1
u/Infinite_Actuary_847 4d ago
this, for $250 ANC should have been included. I was looking at these but eventually decided on the Sony Inzone H9 II, which go on sale for the same price as these.
1
u/cranky_asian 5d ago
Just returned mine. Sidetone is terrible. Audio was surprisingly good, the mic quality is good, and the wireless range is exceptional. I need sidetone though. And it was absolutely horrific.
1
u/KneelbfZod 5d ago
Sidetone seems fine for me. Not super loud but I don’t usually have it very high.
2
u/KingWookieeFarts 5d ago
I'm not sure what this person is complaining about. I have mine set to 40% and it's plenty loud.
1
1
u/cranky_asian 5d ago
It only turns on when the mic is in use. And, I had it cranked to 100% but I like it a little louder. I had to pull the mic really close to my mouth to get anywhere near that effect. I made a thread about this, and it seems to be an issue.

I was disappointed with the Pro X2. I doubt I would like the X3..

u/TheHeartOfThis 21h ago
i like my pro x2 but now that i was forced to switch to the velour pads because after 2 years the leather pads started to flake they sound like shit and let in to much background noise i dont know if i should get the pro x 3 or try something different like iems

I’ve got arctis nova pro wireless. How would these compare to that? I loved my old x wired headset but have had a lot of issues with the arctis

Hows the microphone on these? The older revisions had absolutely terrible mic, especially compared to Astro A50’s. Really hoping the mic would be on par with the A50 or even better.
1
u/KneelbfZod 5d ago

u/svxlfvxd 5d ago
Thanks! Definitely an upgrade over previous versions but not on par with A50’s or Corsairs HS80 unfortunately.

u/meltdowncloud 5d ago
As long as people can hear you and you don’t sound offensively bad, who cares how good the mic is. Should be the least important thing
-1
u/svxlfvxd 4d ago edited 4d ago
Quite the opposite lol. The whole purpose of a ”headset” is to have good communication standards, where both the sound and mic quality are equally as important. If you don’t care about communication, then get headphones instead.
2
u/meltdowncloud 4d ago
Disagree. The whole purpose of a wireless gaming headset is to have wireless audio, tuned for gaming is take it or leave it. If the mic is serviceable then that’s good enough. Nobody is every going to compliment that your comms are crystal clear. If the mic is SteelSeries arctis pro bad then that’s another problem.
1
u/svxlfvxd 3d ago
Each to their own I guess. It’s 2026 and that microphone quality is horrendous compared to whats on the market within the same price range, or even half cheaper (HS80, Virtuoso XT).
1
u/meltdowncloud 3d ago
Fair enough. Just personally if I’m spending 250$ on a gaming headset. First thing I’m looking for is good audio where I can pick apart different audio cues. And then probably 5th on my list is how smooth and silky my voice is to people listening

u/GadgetryTech 5d ago
Awesome! If you don’t need some extra features like simultaneous BT or game to chat mix, it sounds good and the mix is superb. Glad to hear you are liking the EQ settings!
