I bought this to use with the upcoming Quest 2. The VR headset that logitech are coming out looks like it's just a Logitech G Pro with a short cable included and this is the G Pro X which has 7.1 when used with pc. Now I just need a 260mm 3.5 cable and I'm set.
CamelCamelCamel.
The wireless won't work with the quest 2 I don't think. But if you're just after them for gaming that's no biggie
yeah just for normal gaming
Yeah fair enough. For a while I was between the Pro X Wireless and the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless for gaming but they're both so expensive
@NuttyGoodness: & @jabroni
If you guys have money then buy the Audeze Penrose (coming out next month).
Launch price is actually cheaper than the Wireless version of the Steelseries Artis Pro.
They are Magnetic driver technology as compared to your typical Dynamic headphones.
One youtuber described Magnetic Driver technology is like going from a 30hz monitor to a 60hz monitor.
@Ceejay: I'll have to have a look at some reviews because I've never heard of them. My main selling point is good directional audio and clarity
@NuttyGoodness: Then the 100mm planar magnetic drivers should blow your mind.
Note tho, It appears that you do sacrifice a little bit of the 'thump' from bass compared to Dynamic Headpones.
But if you are after clarity then planar magnetic is the way to go. You can turn the things right up with no distortion.
@Ceejay: Is there a 3rd party review of the audeze.. I am interested but can only find their videos.
@DJN: The Penrose are not out yet so I can't find any 3rd party reviews either.
But if you look up Audeze Mobious then it will give you a good understanding of how they perform/sound.
Penrose are based exactly on the Mobious but without such features such as 'head tracking' which I am not fuss about. Other specs appear to be the same (e.g. 10-50hz, Audeze 100mm planar magnetic drivers)
@Ceejay: ^ also look up hyper X Orbit S. Basically they took the Audeze Mobious and put their logo on it lol.

these guys?
looks good and specs are solid but $399 :O
@jabroni: Haha yeah dude, good find. That's actually where I've preordered mine… they appear to have the best 'launch' price at the moment.
Same here. I'm especially after the Corsair HS70 Pro or something similar.
Oh good idea actually!
I've got a preorder on the quest 2 but I have a old cloud X stinger that doesn't have a working mic so think I'll use that
Thanks for sharing the deal, and the speculation that the Logitech made headphones for the quest 2 are basicallyyyy just these
Genuinely curious, are you planning on playing non-PC games (i.e. from Oculus store)?
I waited a long time for details of the Quest 2 to be released, and could even live with them harvesting my data with the FB requirement. But when the reviews came out there are plenty of negatives there. And even the OzBargainer in me looks at it like:
Quest 2: $639 (unless you are using it for PC gaming surely you need the storage)
Headphones (this deal): $195.68
Quest 2 Elite Strap: $80
So we're up to over $900 and it's a sub-par experience for PC gaming, with terrible IPD, and all the other drawbacks.
TL;DR I bought the HP Reverb G2 for $876.52 (after shopback comes in) on the weekend. And am wondering why anyone went the other way after the reviews came out.
I'm going to use it for both pc and standalone but mostly standalone. The headset only cost me $177 and I'm going to use that with my pc also and the fact that I don't need to have a dedicated room or any kind of setup sells it to me big time. I could walk into any room big enough, draw my boundary and start playing games. To me that's crazy and well worth the money.
I could go camping and set it up under a pop up gazebo if I wanted to or take it to my friends house with no time wasted for setup (apart from maybe clearing a room)
Edit: Audio headset cost me $177 not the Quest 2
Fair enough. I'm mostly planning on playing at my PC so I couldn't see the point. My PC can go anywhere with me, but unlike the Quest it isn't Zero setup :)
Also it's going to look like balls for me. My IPD is 65.3 so essentially the worst supported value. Before mentioning god rays & poor blacks. Oculus Link over USB will mostly likely be a sub par experience over DisplayPort (was with Quest 1 IMO) and 72Hz tethered limit currently.
jbhifi sell these for $280?
Yeah we get royally screwed price wise for being in Australia.
I really miss the days when https://www.logitechshop.com.au/ bucked that trend. Now all the retailers are fairly aligned to unfairly malign.
Just bought this, anyone have any delivery times from orders so far? Seems far and away the best deal for this still.
waiting for the wireless version deals
