Logitech Webcam C525: Should You Buy it?| Honest Review


This Logitech C525 webcam is more like Logitech webcam B525, which is available amazon.com. C525 claims to have noise cancellation but there is no noise reduction on Windows 10. However, when I use it on Ubuntu with noise-cancel feature enabled it works. But that is a feature with Linux Ubuntu.

I have used Logitech webcam C325 for more than a year then I gifted to someone because I was not using my C325 and someone required a webcam.

C525 is a entry level webcam by Logitech, does not meet the requirement of Covid-19 for a marketer, blogger, streamer, or YouTuber.

And I was also looking for a webcam with 1080p resolution so I bought Logitech C525 during this Covid-19 and it disappointed me with sound quality it catches noise on Windows 10 but when I use on Ubuntu with noise cancellation enabled it does not catch noise at all.

Auto Focus

It has auto focus and does not require any driver for it. But its not impressive guys. The auto focus does not work with other software like Zoom, Skype, or OBS.

Noise Cancellation

No, C525 does not have noise reduction out of the box. I catches all the noise it can. As I have mentioned above that I have used other Logitech webcam that did reduce noise and I was happy with the old one.

After some research, I came to know that Logitech has a few news webcams that are going to be good.

  1. Logitech StreamCam
  2. Logitech BRIO

Logitech C525 Driver

If your Logitech C525 is flickering and also the auto-focus is not working properly then you need to download and install driver and software for your C525 webcam.

I had to install this driver so thought of creating a video walk through for peeps out here on the planet.

You should always download software and driver from the official website.

This Logitech webcam driver is generic one which works for many entry level webcams by Logitech.

Logitech does not have specific driver for each webcam model they are selling all around the world.
