- Logitech has unveiled a new wireless gaming headset, the G325 Lightspeed
- It costs $79.99 / £69.99 and offers 24-bit high-resolution audio
- It is available now through Logitech’s website and other retailers
Gaming hardware brand Logitech G has unveiled its latest wireless gaming headset, the Logitech G325 Lightspeed.
At just $79.99 / £69.99, it’s a surprisingly affordable new model designed to deliver premium features at a relatively modest price. Its key specifications include high-resolution 24-bit audio and seamless built-in microphone.
It’s designed to let you “play and relax anywhere,” according to the brand, with a comfortable and stylish design that looks more like a pair of music cans than your average gaming rig. It is also available in three colors: purple, black and white.
In terms of battery life, you can expect more than 24 hours of continuous use from a single charge. This is well behind the staggering 300+ hours offered by more premium alternatives like the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless, but certainly not bad for the price.
It supports multiple platforms including PC, consoles and mobile via Lightspeed wireless dongle or Bluetooth 5.2. The controls on the headset should allow you to effortlessly switch between the dongle and Bluetooth, so you can quickly switch between a gaming session and relaxing with music.
“We want all gamers to have premium experiences,” Logitech G general manager Ujesh Desai said of the launch. “That’s why we packed so much into the new G325 headset. It has a super comfortable design, long battery life, great sound and works across PC, console and mobile. It’s designed for gamers who love to play across a variety of platforms.”
You can buy the Logitech G325 Lightspeed now via Logitech’s website or from Argos if you’re in the UK.
Great value, but competition is strong
The $79.99 / £69.99 price tag is certainly on the low end by Logitech G standards, but that means the G325 Lightspeed will be up against some pretty stiff competition in the gaming headset space.
Preferred wired models like the HyperX Cloud III or Razer BlackShark V2 X come in around that price and are easy to find for significantly less on sale if you’re willing to give up wireless connectivity.
Logitech’s own G435 Lightspeed is also a viable alternative as it’s wireless and often discounted to around the $50 / £30 mark. You lose a significant amount of battery life compared to the G325 Lightspeed, but still get a similarly attractive design and multi-platform compatibility.
I’m certainly eager to spend some time with this new arrival to see how it stacks up against its peers.
