![]() There's an important test I run when I'm checking out gaming headsets, especially gaming headsets over $100. Add rich, resonant sound to the menu and it's a gaming headset that looks and performs like a pair of high-end, audiophile headphones, not a colorful trip to a midnight rave. It's plain, yes, but plain in the same way a luxury watch is plain. But as soon as I picked it up, I began to notice the craftsmanship-the plush earpads, the solid metal forks, the braided cable and subtle heft. That's exactly what happened the first time I put on Logitech's new G Pro X headset. Clad in black and brown, made of premium materials, they don't need to lure you in with colorful lights or plasticky design flourishes. The most impressive headphones are often the most unassuming. If you want to buy a great pair of headphones though, the trends are very different. They often look more interesting than they sound, emphasizing pulsing LED lights and exaggerated plastic accents more than thumping bass and clear treble. Most gaming headsets are designed more for flash than function these days.
