Love how it’s more than just a review with the comparison headsets, great video Techne! 👏🏼🔥

Really enjoyed this video. Thank you for your research, testing and Production.

Been digging thru videos for weeks, I think I just made my decision! Thank you sir!

Thank you Techne. We appreciate the dedication and hours you put into these reviews.

I got mine. Couple weeks ago and i love them and also wicked cushions does fit on these headphones ! Tested it out my self

With the old version I enjoyed the cloth pads a lot. It was the closest I’ve ever gotten to a wireless open back headset. I might have to try these out.

You have gotten a lot better at reviews. To the point that I feel comfortable coming to your channel first for opinions about new products. Keep it up!

Thank you for the review, I was about to purchase this headset after 3 years of absolute joy using the 1st generation, but i'm gonna stay on the older version because I wanted the simultaneous BT and Lightspeed audio mix. Well maybe for the 3rd gen !

Been watching for awhile now uncle techne, glad you got the pronunciation on audeze down😂😂love you brother keep it up!

Beautiful review, thanks! 🥳🥳🥳

A good use for the port on the dongle, albeit a little niche, is for people who use mixing software like Elgato Wave. If you monitor your audio and use the audio source directly from your PC, you get hit with about 80ms in delay, which isn't too bad but is definitely noticeable. However, if you use the 5mm jack on the Wave XLR or the Wave microphone, you get the added benefit of zero latency monitoring. With most wireless headsets on the market, the only way to get the zero latency monitoring is to plug the 5mm cable directly to your headset which defeats the purpose of having a wireless headset, but with the jack being on the dongle as well, you can plug in the 5mm cable to the dongle instead and still keep the functionality of the wireless headset AND get the benefit of zero latency monitoring.

Great review. Maybe for the dongle and the 3.5 input jack, since not simultaneous, I can hook up my phone and use the PlayStation app to talk to my friends while gaming on pc as long as I can still hear the game on pc. Better than nothing but rather have BT be simultaneous.

I said the same thing, lol

I find the Logitech more comfortable over the Audeze and part of that is the light weight and design. The sound is fairly close but you will get more volume out of the Audeze and better sound overall but if you can save $100 and get the Logitech Pro X2's on sale it's probably worth it! The mic on Razer is better than both, I'm curious to see recommendations on Wireless Headset + MIC Combos! I would imagine this headset plus a Quadcast s would be top tier combo and if wireless is not an issue probably PC 38x or Tygr R open back with quadcast or elgato wave3 mic. I like that this still has the 3.5mm jack over the Razer and would find this useful for some devices and if you were to use this on an Airplane for in-flight entertainment.

How is the clamp force compared to the nova pros or the tb stealth pros? I had to return both because I have a big head and they were extremely uncomfortable. Im trying to upgrade from some old Astro a40s which have been very comfortable but dated.

The 3.5mm Aux-in in the dongle is ideal if you are using an audio interface (Focusrite, Eveo4, Rodecaster Pro tc) as your main audio on your PC but want to use a Wireless headset. The only other headset that does something similar is the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless with an Aux-in in the base station. Wish all brands did this as it's a MUST for me personally.

Hey Techne, not sure if it's already on the to do list, but could we get a G Pro X2 vs Arctis Nova 4X video?!

Extremely helpful video :)

I definitely like your approach to new headsets and your reviews are still awesome

Would be great to see a review on the Skullcandy Plyrs Wireless headset. Was thinking of getting it but would like your opinion

Which one should I choose? I’ve been using the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, I don’t like noise cancelling nub in the ear cup even though I’ve had WC Cushions. Should I switch them out for the G Pro X 2 Wireless?

I am confused between the hs80 because it has a great mic sound and its sound is balanced and the SteelSeries Artix 7+, which I liked is the control wheel between the game sound and the conversation sound. I have 200$ with do you recommend for me . I am pc player

The headphone port on the USB receiver is useful when you have speakers plugged in to your setup and your speakers don’t have an additional port but that’s a very specific case

I’ve waited so long for them to release the g pro with Bluetooth 😭 gonna cop this headset for sure

Which would you say are more comfortable for longer wear, the logitech or the blackshark v2?

I think the use of the 3.5mm port on the wireless usb dongle is for us to use the headset with the ghub software and blue voice while being used wired.

from the look, i dont think they fixed that plastic bracket where it goes in, thats the common braking point for og ones, like they somehow get broken even with out any force or anything, i never dropeed mine and both sides broke and now they are holding together with zipties

Does the icepop microphone work with these? And do you think that is better than the stock?

Was wondering what your EQ setting were for the headphones? Seems like they took out the Adavanced EQ tab?

HI techne, which would you pick? H6pro closeback or GproX2 wired version ?

In the gaming perspective, I would like to know the depth perception of this headset compared with the others. Is this headset having a superior directional sounds to other headsets such as a cheaper headphone Sennheiser 560S?

The 3.5mm aux wireless transmitter is perfect to pass-through my desktop mic monitoring through my mixer to the headset!

Wait. QUESTION! So with the USB having the 3.5 jack does that mean we can plug in a 3.5 cable from the USB receiver to a USB microphone like the BEACN mic and use that to monitor the mic input with hopefully little to no delay?

Hello, can you confirm that the ear clips are now metal and not plastic like the first model? Thanks

Hey Techne. What headset would you recommend for ps5 just for warzone gameplay? Also is there a EQ setting you thinks works best for footstep sound? Need professional help. Thanks

the dongle with the 3.5 mm port is prob for something like the GOXLR so you can output the audio to the dongle honestly very useful I might cop

They failed by not allowing simultaneous Bluetooth. When older headsets offer it. That’s unfortunate because of that I will continue to stick with my Nova Pros and Logitech Gen1 ProX wireless. The white looks great though! Maybe next time.

@8:30 It's finally back! I missed the 3,5mm input over usb from the G933. I used it to combine audio from my ipad and my pc to play games and watch youtube at the same time. But it's also useful if you have a device that doesn't support audio over usb; you can plugin the 3,5mm and use a different power source or a usb on the same device for power. Works great with things like an old LCD TV.

Cloud 2 wireless is amazing love it. I have the regular logitech g pro is cool

Hi I want to ask, any different sound quality between use as wireless and wired?

Hey, can you use the G-hub app on iPhone to control the EQ for the headphones? I’m PS5 console player only and the ease of using an app like what you can do on Razer Kiara and Astro A30. I would love to know before I spend 250 on these bad boys

hey bro! I want to know if you inable the blue voice in G-HUB. It is possible that can be use in ps5? or It can only be use in PC? I need to know thanks ☺️

Question, if you could only get the logitech g pro X2 or the Nova 7x which one would you choose to use for the rest of your life on a PS5?

its weird that they have the same mic as the g1 but they arent advertising the Blue Ice Pop add on mic they sold for the G1 as being compatable. I hope it will still work together regardless of logitech not updating the produt page.

The 3.5mm input was done in g933 too.. That one allows for multi input. I wonder if this one does too

I was wondering if the volume can be set higher than the Old one, bcs the old g pro was a little bit to Quiz for me. Is the new one Louder?

How good is the sound stage on the BlackShark V2 Pro's comapred to the Logitech X2 Pro's?

the mic does not have the noise canceling right? Wanted to use them as my office headset too

They made it a 2 in one the dongle is basically the wired headset to computer usb interface or it can be used just as a wireless usb interface for the computer they combined the g proX 1 and the gpro X1 wireless into one headset along with adding more usability and compatability with bluetooth mode thsi is most impressive 😮

Are we able to use the headset wired while simultaneously using Bluetooth connection? Example: Connect the headset wired to PS5, while having music over Bluetooth

Do you think its a worth upgrade from the Blackshark v2 pro?

Thanks Techne for the review. I received the G Pro X2 upgrading from the old model. However it seems that I do not get the "wow" audio quality compare to the old model. Some differences that I experience (straight out of box settings) while playing FPS games such as Overwatch & Apex Legends : 1. The sound of the new model seems more hollow and muffled 2. The sound was quiet 3. The wireless range seems not a much different when tested. Is it possible that I got a defective headset? Or is it just the way it is with the new graphene drivers? Would you be able to share the tuning/equalizer to match the old model/better?

I've had the G933 dongle with the source in and I love to listen my music or my tv connected while I'm gaming. Also when I go away from My Pc with the G933, no cable in the way.

The 3.5mm input on the adapter is HUGE. A lot of streamers use a mixer, like a GoXLR to mix all of their audio. Then a single line out goes into a stream PC. With a setup like this, can't really use wireless headphones. There are very few headsets with an aux in. Another reviewer mentioned that the 3.5mm input on the dongle is only at 80% volume.
