Blue Icepop is a microphone upgrade for Logitech G PRO and Astro A40 headsets
It feels like just yesterday that Logitech bought Blue Microphones, but believe it or not, it has been about three years already! In that time, Logitech has integrated Blue technologies into some of its products, such as the G PRO X gaming headset.
And now, in a synergistic move, Logitech is launching a special "Blue Icepop" microphone upgrade for its own Logitech G PRO headset and the Astro A40 headset. If you aren't familiar, Logitech also owns Astro Gaming. This product is rather clever -- I never thought of upgrading the removeable microphone on an existing headset, but it totally makes sense.

"Experience rich, crystal clear sound with Icepop’s studio-grade 10mm condenser mic, tuned specifically for Logitech G PRO and Astro A40 headsets. Designed by Blue Microphones, the number one premium USB microphone brand Icepop brings broadcast-quality detail and clarity to your game comms and streaming audio. A built-in pop filter and voice-focused cardioid pickup pattern work together to eliminate unwanted background noise and banish those harsh Ps and Bs," says Logitech.
