The Logitech G325: Light, Lilac, and Lightning‑Fast

The lilac version of the Logitech G325 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset caught my eye straight away. We were sitting in a media session and it just appeared, almost like it had been dropped there for me. I had this weird Wayne’s World moment: “It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine.” And not just because it’s a perfect match for my beloved Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse. There’s something oddly satisfying about having peripherals that look like they belong together, and not just the usual, predictable black. So how could I say no when Logitech offered me a review unit?

I remember opening the box and pausing for a moment because the colour looked as soft and breathtaking as I’d hoped, almost like it shifted depending on the light. I liked that. It felt playful without being loud, which is something I tend to avoid even if I don’t always admit it. It’s just nice to see a brand leaning into softer tones that still manage to look eye‑catching.

I held it for a bit longer than necessary, just taking in the finish and the shape. The headset itself felt lighter than I expected. I kept turning it over in my hands, trying to decide whether the weight made it feel premium or just… light. There’s a fine line between the two, and I wasn’t entirely sure which side it landed on at first. Comfortable, definitely. But I had a tiny moment of “I hope this holds up.”

It reminded me of that feeling you get when you buy something new, you’re excited, but there’s a small voice in the back of your mind whispering, please don’t disappoint me. Not in a dramatic way, just a quiet hope that the build matches the charm. And because the lilac colourway already had me a little emotionally invested, I think I was even more cautious than usual.

Still, even in those first few minutes, there was this sense that it would be. The hinges moved smoothly, the earcups didn’t feel flimsy, and the overall design had that familiar Logitech balance of friendly and functional. I found myself relaxing into it, letting the initial uncertainty fade as I kept handling it, almost like I needed to convince myself that something this pretty could also be practical.

Comfort and Fit

After a few sessions with the Logitech G325 LIGHTSPEED, I realised the comfort was probably the thing I noticed least, and that’s usually a good sign. The ear cushions sat nicely without pressing too hard, and as someone who wears glasses, that’s exactly what you hope for. The headband didn’t dig in, even during a long evening where I lost track of time playing the new Midnight pre‑release patch of World of Warcraft. The clamping force felt well‑tuned, though I did adjust it a few times early on, trying to find that sweet spot for my oddly shaped head. Once I found it, though, they were like wearing air. Almost no weight at all. It didn’t take long before they felt familiar, almost as if they’d already moulded themselves to me.

The Logitech G325 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset weighs just 212 grams, which I didn’t fully appreciate until I’d worn it for a while. It’s one thing to read that number on a spec sheet, but it’s another to realise you’ve had them on for hours without that creeping heaviness some headsets bring. To put it in perspective, I grabbed a pack of Doritos Cheese Supreme chips and a Mars bar yesterday, that combined weight is about the same as these. So yes, they’re light. And comfortable. The breathable knit fabric helped, too. I didn’t notice any heat build‑up, and I’m usually pretty sensitive to that. (Yes, I’m a delicate little flower, leave me alone.) The memory foam padding on the earcups has this soft, springy feel that settles in without collapsing, while the headband padding is thicker than I expected for something so light.

One night I wore them for about seven hours straight, and when I finally took them off, I was surprised not to feel that usual warm patch around my ears. Maybe that was luck, or maybe the materials genuinely breathe better than I expected, and it isn’t just marketing fluff on the spec sheet. The dual‑layer padding probably plays a part, giving you a decent seal without trapping too much warmth. I wouldn’t call it perfect, but it’s definitely better than I anticipated for a headset at this price point. As I’ve had headsets worth 4 times the price, I find them unwearable after the 2-hour mark.

I even ended up wearing the Logitech G325 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset to work, which is something I normally avoid. There’s always that awkward feeling of having a “gaming” headset on the train or in the office, like I’m announcing to everyone that I’m about to queue for a dungeon instead of answering emails. But these didn’t give me that feeling at all. The design is clean and professional enough that I didn’t feel out of place, and the lilac colourway somehow made them look more intentional, almost like an accessory rather than gear I’d dragged from my desk.

On the train one morning, two different people actually asked me what they were. I wasn’t expecting that. I found myself saying, a bit more proudly than I meant to, “They’re the new Logitech G325 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset.” And it hit me in that moment that they really do sit in this sweet spot. Professional enough to blend in, playful enough to still feel like me. The best of both worlds, and that’s not something I usually get from a gaming headset.

Sound Quality

The audio has a clean, slightly rounded character. I noticed it most in games with layered soundscapes—footsteps, ambient noise, that sort of thing. The mids have a clarity that makes dialogue easier to follow, even when the soundtrack swells a bit too enthusiastically. That balance matters because in competitive titles, you don’t want voices or subtle cues drowned out by background effects.

Bass sits in a comfortable place. Not overwhelming, but present enough that explosions feel satisfying. I had a moment in a puzzle game, of all things, where a low rumble kicked in, and I actually paused because it sounded richer than I expected. Funny how those small surprises stick with you. The headset’s 32mm drivers, paired with 24‑bit audio resolution, are part of what makes those moments stand out. They deliver more dynamic range than older Logitech models, so low‑end tones feel fuller without muddying the rest of the mix.

Music playback was pleasant too. I wouldn’t call it studio‑grade, but I never expected that. It’s enjoyable, and sometimes that’s all I want. Switching over to Bluetooth on my phone, I streamed a few playlists and noticed how versatile the sound profile was. It didn’t lean too heavily into bass boost, nor did it flatten vocals. Just a balanced, everyday listening experience.

Where the Logitech G325 LIGHTSPEED really surprised me was in its adaptability. Using Logitech’s G HUB software, you can tweak EQ settings or choose curated presets like Gaming FPS, Bass Boost, or Music. I tried the FPS preset during a late‑night session of Farlight 84 and immediately noticed sharper treble, footsteps and reload sounds popped more, which gave me a slight edge. Okay, maybe it only helped me kill one extra person, but that’s still a win in my book. Then, switching to Music – Preset 1, the sound softened, vocals warmed up, and it felt more natural for casual listening. I may have even drifted off in my office chair to Jelly Roll, because the mix of comfort and sound had me so relaxed. And all of that happened at the press of a button. That flexibility makes the headset feel less like a “gaming only” device and more like something you can use all day.

Wireless performance also plays into sound quality. The LIGHTSPEED connection is fast and stable, with no perceptible lag, even in competitive shooters (I use that term loosely). I tested the range by walking into another room,about 20 metres away, and the audio didn’t cut out. (Yes, I left the headset on the bed while I ducked off to the bathroom, but I needed to test it. I’m not that weird.) That kind of reliability means you don’t lose immersion when you step away for a break or wander to the printing room while listening to your favourite track or podcast.

At this price point, I was pleasantly surprised by the sound. Audiophiles won’t be rushing out to replace their reference gear, but I think even they’d admit the Logitech G325 LIGHTSPEED punches above its weight.

Microphone Performance

The microphone on the Logitech G325 LIGHTSPEED is integrated directly into the headset, so there’s no flip‑down arm or flip‑to‑mute as you’d find on some other models. At first, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about that, but in practice, it works well. The beamforming mic locks onto your voice, while the AI‑powered denoising does a solid job of cutting down background distractions. I tested it with a fan running nearby and later with my window open; there’s construction happening just two doors down, and they make plenty of noise, and both times my friends and co‑workers said they could barely hear anything except me.

Voice quality comes through clearly enough for calls, Discord, or Teams. When I listened back to a recording, my tone had a slight softness to it, not a flaw, just a characteristic of the tuning. It doesn’t have the richness of a broadcast mic, but that’s not really the goal here. The point is clarity and consistency, and the Logitech G325 LIGHTSPEED delivers both.

Controls are straightforward, too. There’s a dedicated mute button on the headset, which I ended up using more than expected when stepping away or grabbing a drink. It’s quick, reliable, and avoids the awkward fumbling you sometimes get with software toggles. After a few hours of use, it became second nature to find without looking.

The microphone feels well‑balanced for the price. It’s not trying to be studio‑grade gear or rival those more expensive high-end headsets, but it nails the essentials: focused voice pickup, reduced ambient noise, and simple muting when you need it. For everyday gaming and even the occasional work call, it’s exactly what you’d want.

Wireless Performance and Battery

The LIGHTSPEED connection stayed stable the entire time. I walked into the kitchen once, about two rooms away, and the audio didn’t cut out. That small test always reassures me more than any spec sheet, because it proves the connection holds up in real life, not just in marketing claims. Logitech lists the wireless range at up to 30 metres, and while I didn’t pace it out exactly, I did wander around the house a few times and never lost signal. That kind of reliability means you can step away for a break, grab a drink, or even head to the printer without worrying about missing a beat.

Battery life felt consistent with what Logitech claims. The headset promises over 24 hours of use on a single charge, and in practice, I found myself charging it every few days without thinking too hard about it. There was one moment where I forgot to plug it in overnight, but it still had enough juice to get me through the next day… and night. That kind of endurance makes it easy to treat the headset like part of your daily routine rather than another device you constantly have to babysit.

Charging is handled via USB‑C, which is always a welcome sight. It’s quick, convenient, and fits neatly into the rest of my setup. Logitech also includes battery management options in G HUB, where you can set a charging cap at 80% to help extend long‑term battery health. It’s a small feature, but one that shows they’ve thought about sustainability and longevity, not just raw performance.

The headset also supports Bluetooth 5.2 alongside LIGHTSPEED wireless, which adds versatility. I used Bluetooth on my phone to stream music during a commute, then switched back to LIGHTSPEED for gaming at home. The transition was seamless, and it reinforced the idea that this headset isn’t locked into one environment; it’s built to move with you.

The Logitech G325 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset delivers wireless performance that feels dependable and battery life that’s genuinely practical. It’s the kind of headset you can wear all day, game all night, and still trust to keep going without fuss.

Software – PC and Mobile App

One of the things that surprised me about the Logitech G325 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset is just how much you can fine‑tune it through software. On PC, everything runs through Logitech G HUB, which has become the standard across their gear. The interface is straightforward once you’ve spent a little time with it. You can adjust EQ settings, switch between curated presets like Gaming FPS, Bass Boost, or Music, and even create your own custom profiles. I spent an evening experimenting with the sliders and ended up with a slightly warmer sound profile that suited my playlists better than the defaults. It’s nice to have that level of control without needing third‑party tools.

G HUB also offers practical options beyond sound. You can monitor battery life, set a charging cap at 80% to help extend long‑term battery health, and tweak features like sidetone or audio prompts. I didn’t expect to use those extras much, but the battery protection mode in particular feels like a thoughtful addition—especially for a headset you’ll be charging regularly thanks to all the use it gets.

On mobile, the Logitech G app mirrors much of the same functionality. It’s lighter, of course, but you can still swap EQ presets, check battery status, and adjust settings on the go. I found it especially handy when commuting with Bluetooth, since I could quickly switch from a bass‑heavy preset for music to something more balanced for podcasts without digging into menus on my PC later, or having to pre‑decide what I planned to listen to before leaving. The app makes the headset feel more versatile, like it’s not locked to your desk setup but genuinely designed to move with you.

Together, the PC and mobile software round out the experience. The headset already delivers solid performance out of the box, but the ability to tweak, monitor, and personalise through G HUB and the mobile app makes it feel more complete. It’s far more than just plug‑and‑play; it’s plug, play, and adjust until the Logitech G325 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset feels like yours.

Final Thoughts

The Logitech G325 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset feels like it’s sneaking into premium territory while still keeping its “affordable gear” badge at just $199 AUD. At just 212 grams, it’s light enough that you forget you’re wearing it, comfy enough for marathon sessions, and stylish enough in its lilac colourway (oh, and yes, it also comes in Black and White, consider this my “oops, almost forgot” moment) to actually look good outside the house. Logitech even sprinkled in some post‑consumer recycled plastics, which doesn’t change how it feels, but hey, it gives me that little “I’m saving the planet” buzz every time I put it on.

Sound quality hits a sweet spot thanks to the 32 mm drivers and 24‑bit audio resolution. Footsteps, ambient effects, and dialogue all come through cleanly, while bass sits in that Goldilocks zone, full‑ish, maybe a touch on the light side, but without rattling your skull. And if you’re picky, G HUB and the mobile app let you tweak EQ or swap presets until it sounds exactly how you want. I ended up warming up my playlists with a custom profile one night, and honestly, it felt like cheating the defaults.

The integrated beamforming mic with AI‑powered denoising keeps your voice front and centre, trimming out background chaos without fuss. It’s not going to make you sound like a podcast host, but for Discord, Teams, or raid comms, it’s more than enough.

Wireless performance? Rock solid, as expected. The LIGHTSPEED connection never flinched, even when I wandered off to the kitchen. With 30 metres of range, Bluetooth 5.2, and 24+ hours of battery life, it’s built for all‑day use, and more. Bonus points to Logitech for adding battery management in G HUB, because apparently even headsets now care about longevity.

All up, the Logitech G325 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset isn’t just “affordable gaming gear.” It’s versatile, comfortable, and reliable. A headset that feels just as at home in a dungeon crawl as it does on the train with a podcast. Logitech has pulled off a neat trick here: a headset that makes sense for your wallet but still feels like a high price treat.
