Logitech G PRO X vs Razer Blackshark V2 - Where are the differences?
Where are the differences?
Let's take a closer look at the differences between the G PRO X* and Blackshark V2* gaming headsets.
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 Razer Blackshark V2 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 Razer Blackshark V2. 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. Neither the Logitech G PRO X nor the Razer Blackshark V2 can be connected wirelessly. So a wireless connection is not possible. However, often the wireless headsets also offer the additional option to connect the headset via cable.
Cable
The cable can only be removed on the Logitech G PRO X. This is advantageous when a headset is used or transported wirelessly. With a length of 2,0 m the Logitech G PRO X* has a longer cable. The cable length of the Razer Blackshark V2 is 1,8 m. With a USB sound card additional cable can be added.
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.
For the Logitech G PRO X the frequency range starts at 20 Hz. For the Razer Blackshark V2 the value is at 12 Hz. The end is at Logitech G PRO X for the 20000 Hz and at Razer Blackshark V2 for the 28000 Hz. 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 Razer Blackshark V2 is at a value of 32 Ω.
Only the Logitech G PRO X offers the possibility 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 Razer Blackshark V2. If no microphone is needed or the headset is to be transported, this can be an advantage.

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 Razer Blackshark V2.
