G325 Lightspeed: Two-minute review Logitech definitely knows the strengths
of the G325 Lightspeed, its new budget wireless gaming headset .

Advertised as a model thats just as suitable for an OOTD selfie or wearing
out and about as gaming, the impressively lightweight design and unique look make it well worth considering if you're after something more stylish than your standard gamer fare. This is an incredibly comfortable headset that you should have no trouble wearing for extended periods of time, whether youre gaming or taking calls at the office. Its memory foam earcups are super soft, and the thin plastic headband is reinforced with some effective padding.

The fact that its made almost entirely from thin plastic means that it
doesn't feel anywhere near as premium as competitors like HyperX Cloud III or Razer BlackShark V3 X , but this is a reasonable compromise given the high level of comfort the resulting lightness brings. (Image credit: Future) The microphone represents a similar trade-off. On one hand, I love how
streamlined the built-in beamforming microphone is - in fact, its almost invisible aside from a tiny little grille on the left earcup. Theres no messing around with a retractable arm or removable parts that you might end
up losing.

On the other hand, theres no denying that those models with dedicated microphone arms sound much better, even if they are a bit more frustrating to use. The mic of the G325 Lightspeed picks up a lot of background noise, despite the best efforts of Logitechs AI-powered noise reduction, and leaves you sounding quite distant and grainy.

Its perfectly adequate if youre chatting with friends on a Discord call, but there are gaming headsets with much better microphone performance out there
at this price, like those aforementioned alternatives. Get daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.

This is also a very basic headset when it comes to features. The built-in controls are a volume rocker, Bluetooth pairing button, microphone mute switch, and thats your lot. The headset is compatible with Logitechs
brilliant G Hub software, but it doesnt offer much here aside from some EQ options and a couple of extra settings. This is going to be more than enough for most casual gamers.

The sound here is also good for the asking price, but not exceptional. Like other Logitech headsets, it sounds a bit flat out of the box without much bass, but its decently detailed and performs well in games.

With all of this in mind, you should already know whether the G325 Lightspeed is for you. If comfort and aesthetics are your priority, its an easy recommendation given the relatively low asking price - but those after
booming sound or a crystal clear mic are better served with other options. (Image credit: Future) Logitech G325 Lightspeed: Price and availability Costs $79.99 / 69.99 / AU$199.95 Three colors available One of Logitechs cheapest wireless models Priced at $79.99 / 69.99 / AU$199.95, the G325 Lightspeed is one of the cheapest wireless gaming headsets Logitech makes right now.

This price point puts it in budget territory and, given the brands frequent generous discounts on other products, I wouldnt be surprised you could scoop it up for around the $50 / 50 / AU$95 mark in the future.

At full price, it still represents quite good value, though, with much of the cost accounted for in the wireless capabilities and attractive design. There are three colorways available: a black with subtle purple accents, white with grey and mint green highlights, and a cute lilac with hints of orange.

Logitech G Hub (PC / Mobile) Logitech G325 Lightspeed: Design and features Attractive overall look Very lightweight Basic set of features The design of the Logitech G325 Lightspeed eschews the usual gamer aesthetic of most headsets in favor of a more subtle look.

Theyre sleek and seem more like a pair of music listening headphones than a gaming headset, which I quite like. You could easily wear these out of the house or in the office without embarrassment, which is certainly one of the biggest reasons to choose this model over others.

At only 7.4oz / 212g, the G325 Lightspeed is impressively lightweight, though its easy to see where Logitech has made the biggest sacrifices to achieve this. The headband feels particularly thin and cheap, with lots of flex to
it. Importantly, it is still comfortable thanks to generous memory foam padding. The earcups, which can be adjusted up and down by a few inches, are similarly well-padded with memory foam cushioning. (Image credit: Future) The right earcup is completely plain aside from some subtle G325 branding, with all of this headsets controls located on the back of the left one. Theres a power switch (situated beneath an LED indicator to denote battery level and charging status), a Bluetooth pairing button, a volume rocker, and a button
to mute the microphone with a built-in and flush design on the front of the earcup.

The headset is compatible with the Logitech G Hub app, though it doesnt give you access to many extra features. You can turn on side tone (which lets you hear yourself as you speak) or enable the microphones AI noise reduction features. There are also a number of audio presets to choose from, but the default one is well-balanced and a good fit for most uses. (Image credit: Future) Logitech G325 Lightspeed: Performance Decent, balanced sound As suitable for office work as gaming Microphone could be better Like other Logitech gaming headsets, the G325 Lightspeed sounds quite neutral out of the box. There is definitely some bass, but not overemphasized, and the mids and highs are decently presented. Is it the most detailed or breathtaking sound Ive ever heard? No, but its firmly in line with what you should expect at
this price.

Ive been using the Logitech G325 Lightspeed for a few weeks now, and I never found the listening experience unpleasant, even when bobbing along to music
as I worked. In games, the sound is more than sufficient for an enjoyable experience for a casual player, and this has been my go-to throughout my recent co-op playthrough of Resident Evil 6 and daily Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 matches.

Although I do have access to much better-sounding models, the ease of use of this one, not to mention the sheer comfort, is hard to argue with. Just plug the USB dongle in, and youre ready to go.

I even like the built-in microphone despite its obvious flaws, too. This is not a gaming headset that you should use to start your streaming career, but the fact that the microphone is always present and incredibly unobtrusive is
a plus. When Im using the Astro A20 X , for example, I always have to dig the removable microphone out of my drawer and consciously attach it to my headset before I play - often struggling to find it in the process. Here, you just
put the headset on, and youre ready to go.

I do wish it did a better job of picking up your voice, though. I found that
I often sounded quite quiet in comparison to other headsets, with a
noticeably grainy quality to my voice. It also lets in an awful lot of background noise, with everything from typing to controller button presses picked up. This is easy to remedy with something like the Krisp noise suppression built into Discord, but still a clear area for improvement.

The battery life here isnt anything special, but its good enough. Logitech claims that this headset will last more than 24 hours at 50% volume, and, in normal use, I found that it easily lasted about 20 hours at a time. (Image credit: Future) Should I buy the Logitech G325 Lightspeed? Buy it if You want a light and comfortable headset The Logitech G325 Lightspeed is incredibly comfortable thanks to its lightweight and generous memory foam padding. Its one to choose if you want something that you can wear for hours and hours at
a time. You love the look This headset also has quite a unique look thats
very different from most gaming models. Pick it up if you want something understated. Dont buy it if You need better sound The sound here is good, but you can still get better performers for around the same price from brands
like Razer or HyperX - especially if you dont mind going for a wired alternative. You want a great mic The microphone here could do with some
work. It gets the job done, but the performance isnt as good as most models with a microphone arm. Also consider... Not sold on the Logitech G325 Lightspeed? See these two alternatives. Swipe to scroll horizontally Row 0 - Cell 0

I used it with my PC in addition to my PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles, squeezing in plenty of game time with friends to test out the built-in mic. I also wore it daily while working, wearing it for online meetings and while listening to music, and found it to be a worthy companion.

I frequently compared its performance to a range of other models that Ive tested, including the Logitech G522 Lightspeed , Astro A20 X, and SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 , plus more premium alternatives like the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro and Astro A50 X .
