The new headset has a classy black design, almost exotic is the mostly colorful world of gaming peripherals and works not only with PC but also with the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and VR kits.

Astro innards?
Update 30th of March: We asked Stephan Floyd from Logitech G whether or not the new Logitech G PRO Gaming Headset was built in cooperation with the recently acquired Astro Gaming or if it had been planned for a long time. He confirmed, on Twitter, that it’s not related to Astro Gaming technology and was built entirely to complete the Logitech G PRO Gaming set.
