Logitech G325 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Headset overview

I’m glad I’m reviewing the subsequent finances mannequin in Logitech’s G sequence Lightspeed mannequin headphones. The G321s had been good, however I wished to know if the brand new Logitech G325 Lightspeed Gaming Headset—$20 extra—would carry out higher. My buddies, it’s not even a contest. The G325s are superior to the G321s and have change into my gaming headset for optimum consolation.

The G325s proceed the sequence custom of extraordinarily light-weight headphones. I’ll rise up to make use of the toilet and nearly overlook to take them off as a result of I don’t really feel them. When I’m dozing off with music, and I’m smashed into my pillow, they don’t squeak or make different {hardware} noises as a result of there are hardly any transferring components. And the padding is so delicate that it doesn’t damage when it squishes into my head.

The pads—I’m attempting to think about headphones with extra snug padding. These are even higher than the G321’s, that are already fairly snug. It helps that the headphones are gentle, however the material is delicate—nearly silk-like to the contact. There’s additionally a sexiness to the best way the pads really feel and to the best way the sunshine softly glows off them.

But sound is the place the G sequence has struggled for me. The G325s are marketed as having “great bass and accurate sound,” a daring declare after the unbalanced, midtone-heavy, and Skype-sounding microphone of the G321s. I will not contemplate the G325’s bass as “great,” however it’s definitely higher.

Battlefield 6’s explosions do not distort, and the G325s carry marginally deeper resonance in comparison with the 321s. I examined Kendrick Lamar’s Big Shot as soon as once more, and so they didn’t distort, even on the highest protected quantity ranges.

Now, correct? That’s laughable. They’re nonetheless tuned to provide principally mids, although there’s a higher steadiness between the mids and the bass in comparison with the 321s. But after spending over every week utilizing these for practically each gaming and audio associated factor I did, as quickly as I placed on my Audio-Technica M50x’s, I instantly seen how a lot element I used to be lacking. If correct means you possibly can hear a very powerful sounds you might want to hear, sure, the G325s do this.

It additionally has a significantly better microphone. It’s a built-in noise-cancelling microphone with a frequency response of 20-20 khZ. It sounds clearer, with much less distortion and crackles in comparison with the 321. Here’s an instance beneath of the microphone sound, solely edited with normalization:

It nonetheless sounds such as you’re in a well-insulated lavatory, however it blocks essentially the most obnoxious sounds. However, it was very delicate to my mechanical keyboard and mouse clicks.

All of the capabilities that make the Lightspeed sequence nice stay. It’s nonetheless simple to activate—flip the change and it takes about 4 seconds to begin listening to every part. Changing between Lightspeed and Bluetooth modes is so simple as urgent the Bluetooth button, and Bluetooth connectivity could be very fast.

The field says these headphones can final for twenty-four hours earlier than charging, and I’d say that is appropriate—perhaps longer. I used them for every part. There was a 3 day stretch the place I labored out with them, performed video games, listened to music whereas doing chores, and went to sleep with them. The quantity at totally different instances assorted, however I solely needed to cost them as soon as.

Now, the quantity buttons on the headset do one thing fascinating with the quantity on my telephone when linked to Bluetooth. Normally with my different Bluetooth headsets or the telephone itself, if I press the quantity button, there is a noticeable soar within the bar signifying a quantity change. When I exploit the G325s to regulate it, it strikes in very small increments. At first, I believed the quantity wasn’t transferring, however it was truly transferring in very small decibel adjustments. I want extra headphones did this.

It’s most helpful to me at evening when there is a threshold the place it is too low or too excessive, and with different headsets, I can not set it the best way I prefer it. I can with the 325s. I want there have been an choice to carry the quantity button and let it enhance by itself. Instead, I’ve to vigorously faucet the button, and it in the end forces me to tug out my telephone to regulate the quantity faster.
