In the gaming world, the debate between wired and wireless headsets has been ongoing for years. For some, a cable represents maximum reliability – stable connectivity, zero latency, and no need to worry about battery life. For others, it’s just unnecessary clutter that limits movement and reduces comfort during long gaming sessions. Modern wireless technology has largely erased these old stereotypes. With fast 2.4 GHz connections and improved battery efficiency, the latest generation of headsets can now deliver the same level of quality and stability as their wired counterparts. As a result, more gamers are choosing convenience and cable-free freedom without compromising performance.
Today, we’ll take a look at how these trends are reflected in the Logitech G321 headset – and whether it can truly combine the comfort of wireless technology with the demanding standards of the gaming environment.

Positioning and price
The headset is priced at around 60$ ojn Amazon, or approximately €70 in Europe. This places it closer to the budget end of the segment, and accordingly, the manufacturer doesn’t position it as a premium product. Rather, it’s presented as an entry-level wireless gaming headset.
What’s in the box?
The Logitech G321 comes with a 2.4 GHz USB adapter that supports the company’s proprietary LIGHTSPEED wireless technology for PC connection, as well as a USB-A to USB-C charging cable. The package isn’t particularly remarkable, but it includes everything necessary to start using the headset.
Personally, I would have preferred to see a power adapter included for the USB cable, but since gaming headsets are typically used near a PC or laptop, finding a free USB port for charging is unlikely to be an issue.

Appearance and materials
The unit I received is the white version, featuring attractive turquoise cables that connect the earcups through the headband.
The headband consists of a plastic frame with a foam insert covered in fabric. The ear cushions are also fabric, which is an advantage in warm weather.
The left earcup houses a built-in microphone that flips down when in use. On the back, there’s a power switch, a Bluetooth pairing button, a status indicator, and turquoise-colored volume controls. The USB-C charging port is located on the bottom of the left earcup.
I’d also like to highlight the earcup mounting mechanism. The adjustment along the headband is smooth rather than based on fixed notches, which I consider an advantage – since I often find the ideal position to be somewhere between preset steps on other headsets.
Overall, the design is quite appealing, with a white finish and turquoise accents that create a clean, unobtrusive, and modern look.

Ergonomics
In terms of ergonomics, the headset sits securely on the head and remains comfortable during extended use. All controls are easy to locate by touch and are sufficiently distinguishable, minimizing accidental presses.
Connection
The headset can be connected to a PC via USB-A using the included 2.4 GHz LIGHTSPEED adapter, or to virtually any device via Bluetooth. Overall, I experienced no issues with the 2.4 GHz connection, and any latency, if present, was minimal. Using Bluetooth to connect to a phone also proved reliable, with stable connection and negligible delay.

Sound
The sound is produced by 40 mm drivers covering a 20 Hz to 20 kHz range. Overall, the audio is detailed and spacious, without noticeable coloration or defects. In my view, the lower frequencies are slightly emphasized compared to the highs, yet the full spectrum remains audible, and the bass can even be felt physically.
I can also note the headset’s performance in directional audio. I tested them in Hunt: Showdown 1896, a game where sound direction is a key gameplay element, and the headphones accurately conveyed both direction and distance to opponents, even with my moderate skill level. As a result, the headset delivers a truly immersive and deep sound experience, whether listening to music or watching films and videos.

Microphone
The Logitech G321 features a built-in omnidirectional microphone with a frequency range up to 16 kHz. Notably, it mutes automatically when flipped up, so there’s no need to access OS or software settings for temporary muting – simply lift the microphone.
Overall, voice transmission quality is acceptable for an entry-level headset, though the sound comes across somewhat muffled and flat, as if the highs and lows are subdued, leaving mainly the midrange. The microphone is also quite sensitive and often picks up background noises, such as keyboard typing or mouse clicks, even with software noise suppression like Discord’s enabled.
Battery life
The headset is rated for 20 hours of battery life, and in practice, this roughly matches the claimed figure. The device provides a low-battery warning well in advance, so there’s little risk of it shutting off unexpectedly during a critical gaming moment. Charging takes about one and a half hours. Overall, the balance between usage time and charging is sufficient for not only gaming but also listening to music or podcasts during work.

Conclusions
The Logitech G321 is a budget-friendly gaming headset from a well-known manufacturer. Its main strengths are an attractive design, solid build quality, and a lightweight, comfortable fit for extended gaming sessions. This headset is suitable for cost-conscious gamers looking to switch to a wireless solution while enjoying quality spatial audio in games.
For their price, the headset delivers sufficiently good sound in a variety of use cases and offers solid battery life. However, using the G321 as a primary communication headset may be limiting if microphone voice quality is critical. In that case, higher-end options would be a better choice.
