Our Verdict

Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless [PC, PS, Xbox]

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless are more versatile gaming headphones than the Logitech G PRO X WIRELESS LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset. The SteelSeries are better built, have a better noise isolation performance thanks to their ANC system, have a higher total battery life, and support Bluetooth. Their boom mic offers better overall performance, and their wireless transmitter base allows you to fine-tune your gaming experience on the fly. However, the Logitech are more comfortable.
