There are plenty of options to play with, but even if things like 'High-Pass Filter', 'De-Esser' and 'Expander / Gate' mean absolutely nothing to you, there are loads of presets available as well. As soon as you plug in the Pro X using its USB sound card adapter, GHub asks you to record a sample of your voice, which you can then play back on a loop as you tweak and fiddle with the settings. Logitech's GHub software also makes it incredibly easy to set up the mic and tune to your liking, too. The smooth, soft touch shell and spun-metal finish on the outer ear cup looks lovely in the flesh. I was astonished by how much of a difference Blue Voice made to the overall clarity, depth and detail of my voice recording, and it was quite a step up from the recording I made with Blue Voice disabled. Still, if you frequently play a lot of online games with your mates, stream or even make regular voice calls on your PC or laptop, I think the Pro X will definitely be worth the upgrade. There will also be a cheaper, regular Logitech G Pro headset available later this month (review coming shortly) for just £85 / $100, but that one doesn't come with the built-in Blue Voice tech. It's still reasonably pricey compared to other gaming headsets out there, but at £110 / $130, it's also quite a chunk of change cheaper than many of its top-end rivals - including the Arctis 7. A gaming headset that ticks so many boxes must be ludicrously expensive like Steelseries' Arctis Pro, right? Wrong. That's thanks to its built-in Blue Voice technology (yep, that's the same Blue company that make the excellent Yeti USB microphone), and it's probably the closest you'll ever come to having a broadcast quality mic on a pair of gaming headphones. Not only is this a great-sounding gaming headset, but it's also incredibly comfortable and has arguably the best quality microphone I've ever tested.
After an incredible 18 month stint at the top of our best gaming headset list, the Steelseries Arctis 7 must now give up its throne to the brand-new Logitech G Pro X headset.
