Blue Icepop vs. the Stock Pro X Mic: Listen to the EQ Change
Swapping the microphones, then adjusting the bass for the sound I prefer.
Article published November 4, 2026.
The microphone matters, but so do the settings you leave behind. In this June 2022 comparison, I switch between the Blue Icepop and the stock Logitech Pro X microphone, then adjust the voice EQ to suit each one.
The stock mic inherits my Icepop settings
I start with a sound I have already tuned for the Icepop. Around 1:08, I swap in the standard microphone. I hear less low end in my voice, so I raise the lows and save the change.
Switching back changes the balance again
When the Icepop goes back in, those settings sound too deep for my taste. Around 1:49, I lower that part of the EQ again. The useful part is hearing how the same headset and my preferred settings interact with the two microphones.
This is a processed, adjusted comparison, rather than a raw or level-matched recording. My Icepop unboxing and first swap shows the earlier setup. My later Pro X experience is a separate, dated follow-up to these first impressions.
