Our recommendation

Choose the G Pro X 2 for the most refined competitive tuning and Lightspeed reliability. Choose the BlackShark V2 Pro for very similar esports performance with longer battery at a lower price.

Sound tuning

Both target competitive clarity over cinematic bass. The G Pro X 2's graphene drivers sound slightly more refined; the BlackShark's TriForce drivers are punchier. Preference decides more than measurements here.

Battery and wireless

The BlackShark leads on battery at up to 70 hours versus 50. Both use excellent proprietary 2.4GHz wireless; the G Pro X 2 adds Bluetooth, which the BlackShark lacks on some versions.

Comfort and mic

Both are comfortable for long sessions with detachable mics. The BlackShark's mic is broadcast-styled and very good; Logitech's is solid and reliable. Neither disappoints.

Choose Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed if…

  • You want the most polished competitive tuning
  • Bluetooth for secondary devices matters
  • You trust Logitech's ecosystem and G Hub

Choose Razer BlackShark V2 Pro if…

  • You want longer battery life
  • Value per dollar is the priority
  • You prefer Razer's esports sound profile
