This new Logitech G325 headset features an invisible beamforming microphone, and I'm not sure how to feel about that

Logitech has just launched its new Logitech G325 Lightspeed Wireless gaming headset onto the world, but there's no traditional boom arm microphone to be found.

Unlike the best gaming headsets out there, the new G235 features an integrated beamforming mic, which records sound coming from a directed cone-shaped area in front of the earcup and filters out any unwanted audio. The lack of a microphone that I can physically see and adjust as an audio nerd with a background in music studies has got my brow raised, but it's the low price that truly shines for this new wireless Logitech pair of cups.

General Manager of Logitech G, Ujesh Desai, states in the press release that they wanted "all gamers to have premium experiences" especially if that means there's no premium cost, and G325 definitely ticks those boxes. It launches today with an $79.99 / £69.99 MSRP, and yet is still equipped with 32mm audio drivers which support 24-bit audio, an over 24-hour battery life, and a super lightweight form factor.
