Logitech has announced its latest gaming headsets equipped with graphene audio drivers. The Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed gaming headset is an innovation that comes with long-awaited graphene drivers. Graphene is an interesting form of carbon that has been hyped and promised as a revolutionary technology for two decades. It offers a lightweight and more reliable option than other materials when used as an audio driver.
The G Pro X 2 gaming headset, according to
Logitech, comes with drivers that are both rigid and almost impossibly
lightweight. This delivers high-fidelity sound with extremely low distortion
for an immersive sound output. The Logitech G Pro X 2 uses a 50mm graphene
diaphragm for its audio driver. Apart from delivering an immersive sound
experience, the headset is about 25g lighter than its predecessor. The sound
production of the Logitech G Pro X 2 is exquisite when playing games, but the
difference in sound quality with non-graphene driver headsets is not fully
determined.
The surround sound and DTS sounds of the
headset have been shown to be impressive when playing shooter games. The
clarity of the sounds could be seen as the user can easily determine the
direction of different degrees of sound while gaming. This could result in more
accurate decision-making during gaming sessions, yielding a more competitive
edge for users of the G Pro X 2. The headset comes with Bluetooth connectivity,
as well as a 3.5mm audio jack. This allows the user to connect the headset to a
smartphone or operate the headset in the absence of the Lightspeed wireless
dongle.
The Logitech G Pro X 2 gaming headset
supports USB-C charging with a doubled battery life from that of the original
Pro X. The headset delivers up to 50 hours of game time on a single charge.
This is a significant improvement over the 20 hours of battery life in the
original Pro X headset. Rotating hinges have also been added for easier and
more comfortable gaming even for extended periods. Swappable ear pads are also
featured for the headset in either leatherette or velour. The package also
includes a case and a detachable microphone.
The Logitech G Pro X 2 gaming headset goes
on sale on May 30 at US$ 249 in the US and € 269 in Europe. This is not significantly
more expensive than its predecessor with greater functionality and a
lightweight, longer-battery life. There are no details for the availability of
the headset outside the specified regions yet.
