Logitech’s latest gaming headset aims to deliver premium audio performance without the premium price tag, the company said Tuesday. The G325 Lightspeed wireless gaming headset enters a competitive gaming audio market at just $79.99, positioning itself as an affordable alternative to higher-priced options — while maintaining Logitech G series quality.

The G325 Lightspeed weighs in at a mere 236 grams, making it one of the lighter wireless gaming headsets available today, Logitech said in press materials. The lightweight construction doesn’t come at the expense of audio quality, however. The headset features 32mm drivers designed to deliver a big, bold sound suitable for competitive gaming and immersive entertainment.
The device uses Logitech’s proprietary Lightspeed wireless technology. The company claims it provides a reliable, low-latency connection essential for gaming. This 2.4GHz wireless connection operates through a USB dongle, ensuring compatibility across multiple platforms including Mac, PC, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

Battery performance stands out with the G325. Logitech promises up to 24 hours of use on a single charge. This extended battery life means gamers can enjoy marathon gaming sessions without worrying about recharging mid-game. The headset charges via USB-C.
The design prioritizes comfort, as it should, of course. The cans feature soft memory foam ear cushions and an adjustable headband that accommodates various head sizes. The breathable material used in the ear cups aims to reduce heat buildup during extended wear.
Versatile connectivity options
Beyond Lightspeed wireless connectivity, the G325 Lightspeed also supports Bluetooth 5.2, allowing users to connect to mobile devices for music listening or taking calls. This dual-connectivity approach makes the headset versatile enough for both gaming and everyday use.
The onboard controls include a flip-to-mute microphone boom, which provides a clear visual indicator of mute status. Volume controls are conveniently placed on the ear cup for quick adjustments during gameplay.
You can buy Logitech G325 Lightspeed on Logitech’s website, Amazon and other major retailers for $79.99. That makes premium wireless gaming audio more accessible to budget-conscious gamers and Apple users looking for a versatile gaming headset.
This lightweight Bluetooth headset offers all-day comfort, built-in microphone with noise reduction, 24-bit audio and 24+ hour battery life for Mac, PC, PlayStation, Switch and more.
