Review: Logitech G325 Headset is Very Comfortable

Not too long ago, Logitech released a new gaming headset called the G325. Available now in three different colors for $79.99, the G325 has a built-in microphone and connects to your devices via Bluetooth or Logitech’s LIGHTSPEED Wireless dongle.

The team at Logitech was kind enough to send me a G325 in black for this review, but all thoughts below are my own. If this sounds like a good product, you can grab your own through your favorite retailers now.

It’s worth noting that I used the G325 to listen to music, watch shows, chat on Discord, and also just for solo gaming sessions. The vast majority of the time, I connected it to my devices (phone, tablet, PC) through Bluetooth.

I did briefly use the LIGHTSPEED connection and it worked well. I didn’t notice any differences, but admittedly this was not extensively compared due to the requirement of using a USB port.

Overall, the G325 is legitimately one of the most comfortable headsets I’ve worn in a while. The padding is very soft both on the headband as well as the ear cups. It almost felt like wearing a little cloud around my head.

They also were a bit less prone than other headsets to a moving headband when my head was tilted down or up at extreme levels. I was genuinely very satisfied and even a little surprised.

Another aspect of the design that I appreciated was that the power is toggled via a switch instead of a button. It just felt nicer and easier than other headsets that use a button. Instead of trying to hold a button to turn it on or off, it’s a simple and quick switch.

Not something I expected to be praising, but it was very pleasant. This does mean that there’s no control on the headset for pausing or playing content, but I rarely use that feature anyways.

The speaker quality was really nice as well. This is where the G325 starts to be about where I’d expect. For a roughly $80 headset, I’m not expecting something that competes with $200+ headsets like the Audeze Maxwell or EPOS H3PRO. However, it’s definitely no slouch either. Music, videos, and games all sounded great. Nothing felt muddy or washed out. It was clear and pleasant.

This brings us to what I feel is the big downside of the G325: the microphone. The G325 does not feature an external boom mic; relying solely on a built-in beamforming microphone. It doesn’t sound awful, but it also doesn’t sound great. It’s clear, but not crisp or clean.

While other aspects of the G325 feel like they are solidly either what you’d expect for the price or even like they are from more premium price points, the microphone falls a little short in my opinion.

The upside of the G325 not having a boom mic is that it is very aesthetically pleasing. It looks very sleek but in a welcoming way and not a scary way, helped by the small pops of purple here and there.

One final remark is that the G325 has a really good battery. In my usage, I feel like I barely have to plug this headset in. Granted, I’m not doing 5-hour gaming marathons these days. But, I have worn them during marathons of watching shows and content online while doing chores for over an hour at a time and have plugged it in once, maybe twice.

The Logitech G325 is a nice headset for about $80. It is extremely comfortable, sounds fantastic for the price, and has a great battery. My only complaint is that the microphone was disappointing to me, but it’s not the worst and is serviceable until you can save up for a nicer dedicated microphone.
