Logitech G has introduced the next generation of its popular esports and gaming Pro X headsets, with the Pro X 2 Lightspeed Wireless. This redesigned headset comes with new audio drivers and overall improved sound, with a focus on delivering clarity for communication and sound within an esports environment.
According to Logitech G, global esports athletes were part of the design and testing process, with improvements to the original Pro X formula made with ample feedback. The core change in this model is the PRO-G Graphene audio driver, which reportedly allows for higher fidelity, crisper sound.
‘With PRO X 2, we’ve achieved a groundbreaking level of performance by redesigning our PRO-G drivers with Graphene audio technology,’ Chris Pate, Principal Product Manager, Logitech G PRO Series said in a press release. ‘With our use of graphene, we can create a driver that is both incredibly rigid and, at the same time, almost impossibly lightweight. This delivers high fidelity sound with extremely low distortion, giving pros the performance they need to play to their maximum potential.’
