Logitech PRO X 50 mm, blue
Score: 83/100Rankings
The Razer Kraken V4 Wireless is an over-ear headset featuring a lightweight aluminum frame, 40 mm TriForce drivers and up to 70 hours of battery life. Its weight and bold RGB design may be less suitable for professional or casual environments. Ideal for gamers seeking immersive THX Spatial Audio and haptic feedback across multiple platforms.
The Logitech G PRO X wired headset provides high-fidelity hybrid drivers, DTS 7.1 surround, and a detachable Blue VO!CE mic, making it a top choice for esports-focused PC gamers. Its limitations include a wired-only design and reliance on a USB sound card for advanced features. Best suited for competitive PC players who prioritize audio precision and customization over wireless convenience.

Professional reviewers praise the Kraken V4 Wireless for its lightweight construction, breathable cushions, and the detailed sound delivered by its 40 mm TriForce drivers. The retractable HyperClear Super Wideband mic receives high marks for clarity, while the addition of Razer Sensa HD Haptics and THX Spatial Audio is seen as a significant immersion boost. Battery longevity of up to 70 hours and versatile connectivity options are highlighted as strong points, though the headset's weight and overt gaming design are noted as drawbacks for users seeking a more discreet profile.
Everyday users love the headset's comfort during long sessions, the crystal-clear microphone, and the convenience of long battery life with easy device switching. The RGB lighting and haptic feedback are appreciated for personalization and immersion, but many note the moderate weight and bold gaming look make it less ideal for professional or casual public environments.
Professional reviewers consider the G PRO X a top-tier esports headset, emphasizing its high-fidelity hybrid mesh drivers, robust build, and the flexibility of G HUB's EQ and Blue VO!CE mic processing, while noting that its full potential is locked to PC environments.
General consumer feedback centers on the headset's comfort and clear voice transmission, with recurring praise for the memory-foam ear pads, but some frustration over the lack of wireless capability and PC-only advanced features.
“External USB sound card and G HUB fine-tune EQ and mic, delivering good Blue VO!CE audio quality and firm ear coverage without uneven pressure.”
