I liked the way the Logitech Pro X picked up my voice, so a replacement microphone for that headset immediately caught my attention. The Blue Icepop is a small upgrade physically, and I wanted to hear what happened when I plugged it in.

## Opening the replacement mic

In this June 2022 video, I explain that I ordered it from Logitech’s own store for $50 at the time. Inside the package are the microphone and its documentation. I take a closer look before pulling the original mic out of the headset.

## Listen at the moment of the swap

Around 3:37, the recording switches to the Icepop. I leave my existing settings alone for this first change, so you can hear what that swap sounds like in my setup. The larger capsule is part of the specification I discuss, not something I independently measure here.

My first reaction is positive, but this is an unboxing and first listen. The [stock-mic comparison with EQ adjustments](<https://pyrosoft.pro/blog/logitech-pro-x-stock-mic-vs-blue-icepop-cdf3b36d>) gives the two microphones a more direct follow-up.
