Logitech G325 review: comfy fit, rubbish mic

The new Logitech G325’s a gaming headset designed for a select few rather than the broad masses. This is mainly down to the poor-quality microphone, as the price is very good.
The G325 has all the essentials you’d expect from an entry-level wireless headset covered: hassle-free connectivity, a comfortable fit and Bluetooth for on-the-go use. Logitech has set the price for this gadget at around 70 francs/euros. An alright amount, if you lower your expectations. This means you’ll have to put up with a few flaws.
Lightweight and does what it says on the tin
The first thing you notice when you put on the G325 is how light it is. That’s great news if you like to indulge in long gaming sessions. The headband is a comfy fit, and the double-layered memory foam ear cushions provide excellent sound insulation. This means you can easily play video games for hours on end.
I’m torn when it comes to the manufacturing quality. Although all that plastic looks cheap, the finish is solid. You can bend and twist the headset into near-impossible positions. So you can go ahead and carelessly chuck it into your backpack. However, the ear cups don’t swivel, which makes them a bit tricky to stow away.
What’s handy is that the controls are located on the left ear cup and kept to a minimum: power button, Bluetooth button, volume rocker and a mute button for the microphone. Everything’s easy to find right away.
The headset’s available in three colours: black with purple details, white with teal and purple with orange. I like the black version I’m testing, as the purple accents provide a nice contrast. There’s no RGB lighting, which doesn’t bother me, as this means the battery lasts longer.
Solid for gaming, but what else?
The G325 connects via Logitech’s Lightspeed dongle and has a range of up to 30 metres. Please note: the Lightspeed dongle isn’t compatible with Xbox consoles. The headset supports Bluetooth 5.3 or a wired connection via USB. During my test, the connection was always stable.
The sound quality for gaming is solid. In other words, the headset offers what you’d expect for the price, but no more. Its 32-millimetre drivers are the industry standard and deliver clear, balanced sound. Conversations are clear and the bass is there without being overpowering. Overall, the sound quality is comfortable for extended sessions. If you want to fine-tune the settings, you can do so in Logitech’s G-Hub software. There, you can adjust the equaliser, microphone volume and other things. For great sound on the go, you need an equaliser. Why? Because the headset lacks the warmth you probably won’t miss when you’re gaming.
Weak microphone
The microphone’s built into the headset, which helps keep the design slim. It uses a dual-beamforming setup and an omnidirectional pattern. Logitech’s AI noise cancellation is available on PCs and mobile devices via G Hub.
This sounds great on paper: you can use the budget headset as a fully fledged replacement for headphones when you’re on the go. But in practice, the microphone just isn’t good. It’s just about OK for a simple in-game chat, but unsuitable for streaming or voice recordings.
Solid battery life
Logitech promises up to 24 hours of battery life. In my tests, the headset lasted about 22 hours before it needed more juice, so that’s pretty close to what the manufacturer claims. Charging is quick, and you can keep using the headset while it’s plugged in.
In a nutshell
Solid build, poor microphone
If you’re after a straightforward and affordable wireless headset that does the job, you should consider the Logitech G325. Lightning-fast connectivity, Bluetooth, a comfortable fit and a decent battery life – the basics are all there.
However, if you need a good microphone for streaming, making calls, or clear communication with your teammates, this device won’t cut it. As the microphone is an essential part of any gaming headset, this is no minor flaw. And the G25 definitely falls short in this department.
