Logitech’s Pro X headsets have been the competitive player’s default for years, and the new Pro X3 Lightspeed fixes the one thing that always held the line back: the microphone. At $249.99, it keeps the Pro X2’s 50mm PRO-G graphene drivers and adds a full-bandwidth wireless mic, 70-hour battery life, and a deeper EQ — all at the same price as its predecessor.
The mic steals the show
The headline upgrade is the detachable omnidirectional boom mic. It now runs over a full-bandwidth 16-bit/48kHz wireless link with a 75Hz to 20kHz frequency response, up from the Pro X2’s 16-bit/16kHz link and 100Hz to 10kHz range. Blue VO!CE processing in G HUB is still there for extra shaping.
Reviewers agree the difference is dramatic. Digital Foundry calls it “night and day” against the X2, which it describes as flat and reedy by comparison, while ProSettings says the new mic “sounds absolutely fantastic” even in its stock configuration. T3 goes further, calling it best-in-class and “genuinely broadcast-quality” with a little tweaking. If your teammates have ever complained they can’t hear your callouts, this is the fix.
Same great drivers, smarter tuning
Sound comes from the same 50mm PRO-G graphene driver family as the X2, with refined DSP tuning. The bigger change is in G HUB, where the EQ grows from 5 bands to a 10-band parametric EQ with pro-player presets, so competitive players can shape footsteps and gunfire precisely. It is a wireless 7.1 headset with Bluetooth and a 3.5mm wired option, so it covers PC, PlayStation 5, and mobile.
Battery and comfort
Battery life jumps from 50 hours to up to 70 hours, a 40 percent increase that Logitech says comes with no price hike. Digital Foundry’s real-world testing backs the claim up: after 60 hours of use, the headset still showed an estimated 20 percent charge remaining. Comfort gets attention too, with a perforated leatherette headband for airflow, memory-foam ear cups, and both leatherette and velour pads in the box. It comes in Black, White, and Magenta.
Verdict
The Pro X3 is not a reinvention — it is a targeted repair of the Pro X2’s two weak spots, and the mic is the one that matters most. For multiplayer players who need to be heard clearly, it is the strongest headset in its price bracket. The $249.99 price is the only real hurdle, and it is the same price the X2 launched at.
GrabYourLoot verdict: 8.5/10 — the mic upgrade alone makes it the competitive player’s pick.
