According to Guru3D.com, pre-release listings have leaked details for a new Logitech G headset called the G325 LIGHTSPEED. It’s positioned as a lightweight, dual-wireless option weighing just 212 grams with a focus on AI noise-canceling for its microphone. The specs list 32mm drivers, Bluetooth 5.2, Logitech’s own LIGHTSPEED 2.4GHz wireless, and a claimed battery life of over 24 hours. An early price shown is $83.97, though that could change. The headset uses breathable knitted fabric and dual-layer earcups for comfort. Logitech has not made an official announcement yet, so full details on compatibility and software are still pending.
The AI Mic Gamble
Here’s the thing: everyone’s chasing better voice chat now. It’s not just about hearing the game, it’s about being heard clearly by your squad. Logitech‘s play here with “AI noise cancellation” on an omnidirectional beamforming mic is interesting, but it’s also a minefield. Beamforming tries to focus on your voice direction, which is good. AI processing then tries to strip out everything else—keyboard clacks, fan noise, your dog barking. Sounds perfect, right?
But the devil is in the implementation. Aggressive AI filtering can make your voice sound robotic or cut off the beginnings of your words. It can sometimes mistake important game audio in the background for noise. The real test will be if Logitech gives users control over the strength of this filtering in its software. Without that, it’s a black box that might do more harm than good.
The Lightweight Comfort Play
212 grams is legitimately light for a wireless headset with a built-in mic and battery. That’s a direct comfort feature, especially for long gaming sessions. Combine that with knitted fabric and a soft headband, and Logitech seems to be targeting the “forget you’re wearing it” feel. This is smart, because comfort is one of those things you notice immediately, unlike subtle audio quality differences.
They’re clearly aiming this at the everyday, long-session gamer, not the audiophile chasing flagship specs. And you know what? That’s probably a bigger market. For a company like Logitech, which excels in reliable peripherals for industrial panel PCs and enterprise setups, applying that practicality to the gaming mid-range makes sense.
Specs vs. Real-World Sound
Now, about those audio specs: 32mm drivers and support for 24-bit audio. On paper, that suggests better clarity than old budget gear. But let’s be real—it tells us almost nothing about how these will actually sound. The wireless codec (probably SBC or AAC over Bluetooth, and Logitech’s own thing over LIGHTSPEED), the digital signal processing (DSP) tuning, and the overall acoustic design matter way more.
That 24-bit claim is basically marketing unless the entire signal chain from your game or music source to the headset’s internals is designed for it. For most gamers at this price point, consistent wireless performance and decent bass for explosions will matter more than hi-res bragging rights. The dual-wireless setup, though, is a great feature. LIGHTSPEED for gaming on PC or console, Bluetooth for taking a call or listening to music on your phone. That’s genuine convenience.
The Mid-Range Battle
So where does this land? At around $84, the G325 LIGHTSPEED is jumping into a brutally crowded segment. It’s going up against established players from SteelSeries, HyperX, and Corsair. Its main weapons appear to be extreme lightness and a big bet on AI voice cleanup.
Will that be enough? It could be. If the AI mic works as advertised and doesn’t introduce weird artifacts, that’s a killer feature for streamers and anyone in a noisy environment. If the comfort is as good as the materials suggest, that’s another win. But it’s a leak, not a review. The final performance, software support, and that all-important final price will decide if this is a contender or just another headset on the shelf.
