Logitech G321 Lightspeed – Price and Availability
- Price 799 kronor
- Launched in late 2025
The Logitech G321 Lightspeed is available from many retailers as well as directly from the manufacturer’s website. The model is sold in both black and white.
Logitech G321 Lightspeed – Design
- A weight of just 210 grams provides comfortable use
- Plastic construction
- Purple details add a bit of personality
When a pair of headphones falls on the lower end of the price scale, you shouldn’t expect miracles when it comes to design and material choices. The Logitech G321 Lightspeed almost underscores this assumption. The black variant we tested looks fairly familiar and safe at first glance, but a closer inspection reveals how the manufacturer managed to preserve the price so low. The plastic construction makes the headphones lightweight and flexible, but also somewhat cheap feeling.
While the model doesn’t sense particularly premium, it doesn’t signify the headset is bad. Quite the contrary: the lightweight construction of just 210 grams means they are barely noticeable when in use. The comparison isn’t entirely fair, but the Astro A20 X, which costs roughly three times as much, feels significantly heavier at 290 grams.
It’s also worth noting the environmental aspect. Logitech states that the plastic chassis consists of at least 28 percent recycled plastic.
The low price fortunately doesn’t mean compromises when it comes to comfort. Soft memory foam earcups and a padded headband make the headset comfortable even during long gaming sessions. Neither the head nor the ears get particularly sweaty, even after several hours of playing.
As the design itself is quite safe and simple, Logitech has tried to give the overall look a little more personality. The result is colored cables running from the earcups up to the padded headband. On the black model we tested, the cables and volume buttons are purple, while the white variant has green details. They aren’t particularly spectacular touches, but they do give the design a bit more character.
The physical buttons and functions are located on the cover over the left ear. There’s a small indicator light showing when the headset is powered on, a power button, a Bluetooth button, volume buttons and a USB-C port for charging. Everything is complemented by a boom microphone that cannot be folded up. If the microphone feels too close to the mouth, there isn’t much you can do about it. During the testing period, however, we didn’t experience this as a problem.
As the name suggests, Logitech’s Lightspeed connection is also included here. This requires connecting a USB-A dongle to the computer. Bluetooth pairing works via a separate button, and the headset then announces that Bluetooth mode is active.
Finally, it’s worth mentioning that the model lacks RGB lighting altogether. For our part, this is a plus, as we personally prefer a more discreet gaming aesthetic than flashing lights. At the same time, there are many who like RGB, and they will therefore be disappointed.
Logitech G321 Lightspeed – Performance
- 40 mm speaker drivers are okay
- Physical boom microphone that cannot be removed
- No software support
Logitech G321 Lightspeed uses 40mm speaker drivers that deliver a pretty good sound experience for the price. Whether using Bluetooth 5.2 or Lightspeed, the wireless connection is stable and maintains good quality.
The model is clearly designed with gaming in mind. The comfortable user experience also extends to game audio, as the soundstage feels balanced and reasonably spacious. The experience doesn’t try to compete with significantly more expensive top-tier models, but it doesn’t feel half bad either.
The low price is noticeable, however, in some clear limitations in the sound. The dynamics aren’t as good as in some slightly more expensive models (we’re particularly thinking of the Logitech G522 Lightspeed and Logitech G325 Lightspeed), and the bass feels somewhat limited. At the same time, you could argue that an equalizer and a companion app could solve much of this.
Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Logitech G321 Lightspeed’s budget price is most evident in how stripped-down the experience is. Once the headset is paired with a console or computer, you simply start using it. There’s simply nothing more to do. The model doesn’t support Logitech G Hub or Logitech Options+ software. This means there’s no equalizer, alternative sound profiles, or other settings to adjust. Only support for Windows Dolby Atmos and Windows Sonic provides some improvement, but it’s not enough for more demanding users.
How big a problem this is depends entirely on the user’s needs. If you want to optimize your gaming experience as much as possible, the Logitech G321 Lightspeed doesn’t offer particularly good value for money. If, however, you want a pair of simple and reliable headphones without extra features, the situation changes. Then the money you save can instead be put towards something else you actually need.
The boom microphone (16 bit / 16 kHz) is quite basic – for better or worse. It cannot be removed from the headset, but when you fold it up, the microphone is automatically muted. A small annoyance, however, is that, for example, Microsoft Teams doesn’t register that the microphone is muted when you fold it up, which can make it appear as if the microphone is still active in the meeting.
For everyday use, the microphone does its job. The omnidirectional character doesn’t pick up much background noise, and people on the other end of the calls were generally satisfied with the sound quality.
The headset’s 20-hour battery life isn’t particularly impressive or bad. In practice, the battery lasts for several evenings of normal use. At the same time, the Logitech G522 Lightspeed reaches up to 90 hours of usage time. That’s where the price difference is clear.
