How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a drop-in boom mic made specifically for the Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed and G PRO X headsets, choose LZYDD Detachable Boom Mic/Microphone; if you need a replacement boom mic for a SteelSeries Arctis 1 headset — wired or wireless — choose EXMUMCMR Replacement Game Mic. These two look similar in a listing thumbnail, but they are not interchangeable: each one is built around a different headset family, so the "right" answer is decided almost entirely by which headset you already own.
• LZYDD Detachable Boom Mic/Microphone — biggest strength: it is purpose-built for the Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed Wireless and G PRO X headsets, and it ships as a complete mic unit rather than a bare part.
• LZYDD Detachable Boom Mic/Microphone — biggest trade-off: that same single-brand focus means it is the wrong choice if you own anything other than those Logitech models.
• EXMUMCMR Replacement Game Mic — biggest strength: it is positioned as a true replacement for the original boom on all Arctis 1 headsets, with a stated 60-day refund window and a 12-month warranty plus round-the-clock email support.
• EXMUMCMR Replacement Game Mic — biggest trade-off: the compatibility line stops at the Arctis 1 family, so it will not help Logitech owners.
• Pick LZYDD if your headset is a Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed or G PRO X.
• Pick EXMUMCMR if your headset is a SteelSeries Arctis 1 (including the wireless version) and the stock boom has failed or gone missing.
The LZYDD unit exists for one narrow problem: your Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed Wireless or G PRO X headset is fine, but the microphone isn't. Maybe the boom got lost, maybe the original died, maybe you bought the headset used and it arrived without a mic at all. This part is listed as fitting exactly those headsets, and it arrives as a mic — the listing is refreshingly literal about that.
What it is not is a universal accessory. The compatibility statement names Logitech's G PRO X 2 Lightspeed Wireless and G PRO X headphones and nothing else, so if you are hoping to slot it into an Arctis, a HyperX, or a generic boom port, the listing gives you no reason to believe it will seat properly or pass audio. That is the whole trade-off in one sentence: extremely targeted, therefore extremely limited.
Who should buy it: Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed or G PRO X owners who need a working boom mic and want a part that is stated to fit that exact headset. If you already like the headset and just need to restore voice chat, this is the straightforward path.
Who should skip it: anyone with a different brand of headset. There is no cross-brand flexibility here, and no adapter story in the details — just a mic for two specific Logitech models. The item weight is listed at 1.92 ounces, which is consistent with a small boom-and-housing assembly rather than a bulky add-on, and the color is black, matching the headset family it targets.
One more thing worth being clear about: the broader product record here is a bit of a grab bag — fields referencing touch control, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5, a dynamic driver, and even Blu-ray as built-in media. Those are almost certainly inherited category fields rather than features of a boom mic, and I would not treat any of them as a reason to buy. Judge this product on the one line that matters: it is a mic that fits the Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed Wireless and G PRO X. That's the pitch.
EXMUMCMR attacks the same problem from the SteelSeries side. This is a detachable boom microphone for Arctis 1 headsets, and the listing goes further than most: it claims 100% compatibility with the original microphone, names the Arctis 1 Wireless Gaming Headset, and says it is a replacement for all Arctis 1 headsets. It also lists use across PS4 Pro, PS5, Xbox One X, and PC, which lines up with how people actually run an Arctis 1 — plugged into a console controller or a desktop.
The connection is a 3.5 mm jack, which is the key spec here. If your Arctis 1 boom plugs into a 3.5 mm port on the earcup, this is the same interface the original used, and that is why the "100% compatible with original" claim is at least structurally plausible rather than marketing noise. The listing also advertises noise cancelling, and the audio section gives a 20–22,000 Hz frequency range with a dynamic driver. Treat the impedance and sensitivity figures with a raised eyebrow — both are listed identically at 139.99 ohm, which reads like a data-entry duplication rather than two independently measured values. I would not build a purchase decision on those two numbers.
Where EXMUMCMR clearly pulls ahead of its rival is after-sale terms. The listing states a 60-day refund window, a 12-month warranty, and 24/7 email support. For a small replacement part, that is unusually concrete, and it matters because replacement booms are exactly the kind of purchase where you find out on day one whether it works.
Who should skip it: Logitech owners, and anyone with a non-Arctis headset. Despite the "all Arctis 1 headsets" language, the compatibility scope is the Arctis 1 family, not SteelSeries broadly and certainly not other brands.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed / G PRO X owners → LZYDD Detachable Boom Mic/Microphone. The fit is stated for those exact headsets.
• Best for SteelSeries Arctis 1 owners → EXMUMCMR Replacement Game Mic. It is explicitly a replacement for all Arctis 1 headsets, wireless included.
• Best for console gamers → EXMUMCMR Replacement Game Mic. The listing names PS4 Pro, PS5, and Xbox One X alongside PC.
• Best for a clearly stated warranty and support path → EXMUMCMR Replacement Game Mic. 60-day refund, 12-month warranty, 24/7 email support.
• Best for a simple "just replace the mic" purchase → LZYDD Detachable Boom Mic/Microphone. No adapter hunting, no compatibility guesswork if you own the right Logitech headset.
• Best for connection certainty → EXMUMCMR Replacement Game Mic. The 3.5 mm jack is spelled out as the interface, matching the original Arctis 1 design.
• Best for anyone who owns neither headset → neither. These are both single-family parts. Buying the wrong one is a guaranteed dead end, not a compromise.
• Best for weighing real value → check the current price on Amazon for both and compare against what a full replacement headset would cost you, since both are repair parts rather than upgrades.
In my opinion, this one is decided before you read a single spec: buy the mic that matches your headset, full stop. If I owned a Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed or G PRO X, I would buy the LZYDD Detachable Boom Mic/Microphone — it is aimed squarely at that headset and does one job. If I owned a SteelSeries Arctis 1, I would buy the EXMUMCMR Replacement Game Mic, because it is the one of the two that explicitly claims original-equivalent compatibility for the Arctis 1 and backs it with a stated warranty and support line. The only scenario where I would hesitate is if I owned neither headset — in which case I would not buy either.
EXMUMCMR Replacement Game Mic. Its listing names the Arctis 1 Wireless Gaming Headset and states it is a replacement for all Arctis 1 headsets. The LZYDD mic is listed only for Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed and G PRO X.
No. The LZYDD listing states compatibility with the Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed Wireless and G PRO X headphones only. There is no Arctis 1 compatibility stated for it.
The listing advertises noise cancelling and gives a 20–22,000 Hz frequency range with a dynamic driver. I can't verify real-world noise performance from the specs alone — the impedance and sensitivity fields are both listed as 139.99 ohm, which looks like duplicated data, so I would judge this on the stated design rather than those numbers.
Check the model on your earcup or headband first. Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed or G PRO X → LZYDD. Any Arctis 1 variant, wired or wireless → EXMUMCMR. If it's a different brand entirely, neither of these is the right part.
EXMUMCMR states a 60-day refund window plus a 12-month warranty and 24/7 email support, so there is a defined route if the part doesn't behave. The LZYDD listing does not state comparable terms, so in my opinion the warranty situation is one more reason Arctis 1 owners lean EXMUMCMR.
