#LOGITECH GAMING PRO#

The Logitech G Pro X passed this test with (i.e., without) flying colors. If the answer is no, if they just look like nice headphones, you may get more mileage out of your purchase. If the answer is yes, then this headset is probably going to spend its life indoors, hanging out beside your computer, or at your office. When I'm in a public place like a cafГ©, an airport, a bus stop, I put them on and ask myself an important question: 'Am I embarrassed that I look like I'm wearing a glowing space helmet and/or directing air traffic?' The answer to that question determines how much you're really going to get out of a headset. I go about my day, do all my normal stuff carrying these headphones around. Any bag works-a messenger bag, a backpack, a large purse, whatever I have on hand. There's an important test I run when I'm checking out gaming headsets, especially gaming headsets over $100. Add rich, resonant sound to the menu and it's a gaming headset that looks and performs like a pair of high-end, audiophile headphones, not a colorful trip to a midnight rave. It's plain, yes, but plain in the same way a luxury watch is plain. But as soon as I picked it up, I began to notice the craftsmanship-the plush earpads, the solid metal forks, the braided cable and subtle heft. That's exactly what happened the first time I put on Logitech's new G Pro X headset. Clad in black and brown, made of premium materials, they don't need to lure you in with colorful lights or plasticky design flourishes. The most impressive headphones are often the most unassuming. If you want to buy a great pair of headphones though, the trends are very different. They often look more interesting than they sound, emphasizing pulsing LED lights and exaggerated plastic accents more than thumping bass and clear treble. Most gaming headsets are designed more for flash than function these days.
