Review: Logitech G Pro X3 Lightspeed Gaming Headset: They Finally Fixed the Mic and Battery Life
Logitech’s G Pro X3 Lightspeed gaming headset receives a review from Digital Foundry, marking significant improvements over the previous X2 generation. The new model addresses two major shortcomings of its predecessor: poor microphone quality and limited battery life, which was restricted to 50 hours on the X2. Priced at £229/$250, the X3 maintains Logitech’s strengths in the high-end gaming headset market, including excellent audio quality, comfortable velour ear cups, and reliable Lightspeed wireless connectivity.
The reviewer, who has tested Logitech’s Pro X headsets since their 2020 debut, notes that the X3 comprehensively addresses the previous generation’s deficiencies. The headset competes with other premium gaming audio solutions, including the SteelSeries Nova Omni and Turtle Beach Stealth Pro 2. However, the reviewer suggests that the previous-generation X2 may still offer good value in the UK market, where it’s available at £80 cheaper than the new model, depending on individual priorities regarding the improvements offered by the X3.
