Where are the differences?

Let's compare the two Logitech branded gaming headsets and take a closer look at the differences between the G PRO X* and G PRO X LIGHTSPEED*.

What year are the headsets from?

The release year is of course important when comparing two headsets. After all, the release date has an influence on the state of the art and usually also affects the price. With the year of publication 2020, the Logitech G PRO X LIGHTSPEED is newer than the Logitech G PRO X, which is from the year 2019. Which puts about a year between the two models.

Connection options

Let's start with the connectivity options from Logitech G PRO X and Logitech G PRO X LIGHTSPEED. Both give you the option to be wired. A wired connection reduces connection problems and interference, which is an advantage. In return, the cable can possibly interfere.

Radio offers the disadvantage that there can be interference in the verdinbung. In addition, with radio you are usually dependent on a battery, which can also go flat during use. Only with the Logitech G PRO X LIGHTSPEED* do you get the option to connect wirelessly. This is not possible with the Logitech G PRO X. However, often the wireless headsets also offer the additional option to connect the headset via cable.

Cable and battery

In this comparison, only the Logitech G PRO X LIGHTSPEED has an integrated battery. The Logitech G PRO X LIGHTSPEED has a battery life of up to 20,0 hours.

Audio

Both gaming headsets have a driver of 50 mm and thus do not differ. The bigger the driver, the better and louder low frequencies can be reproduced. However, it depends on more factors and can therefore only be taken as a small benchmark.

The frequency range starts at 20 Hz for both models. The end is at 20000 Hz for both. What is really important here is the range between 50 Hz and 10,000 Hz, which is covered by just about every headset nowadays.

The higher the impedance, the more power a speaker can produce. Also the sound becomes clearer. With a value of 32 Ω the Logitech G PRO X* performs better here. The impedance of the Logitech G PRO X LIGHTSPEED is at a value of 32 Ω.

Both gaming headsets have the option for 7.1 surround sound.

Microphone

Of course, both headsets have a microphone built in, which is also adjustable. Additionally, the microphone can be detached for both the Logitech G PRO X and the Logitech G PRO X LIGHTSPEED. If no microphone is needed or the headset is to be transported, this can be an advantage.

A noise suppression is integrated in both. This is especially interesting for minimizing click and keyboard noise.

Both microphones have a frequency range which starts at 20 Hz. The end of both microphones is at 20000 Hz

Volume control and mute

Almost every gaming headset offers the possibility of volume control and mute. So it is also in this case.

Both models offer the option of muting. The Logitech G PRO X is operated via Cable. With the Logitech G PRO X LIGHTSPEED the control runs per Auricle.

Which headset has more features?

Finally, let's take a look at the equipment. Here, some models have lighting. These two headsets don't have that, but it doesn't affect the performance negatively. After all, the illumination is just a matter of taste.

Furthermore, some headsets have freely programmable buttons, as is also known from gaming mice or keyboards. But you have to do without this for the Logitech G PRO X and Logitech G PRO X LIGHTSPEED.
