Logitech Bluetooth Headset

Features and Design

The Logitech Mobile Bluetooth Headset comes with a number of features Logitech believes will help make this product easy to use. Chief among these is a multi-function button which, depending upon the use can turn the power on or off as well, answer and end calls and synchronize your headset with your phone. When not in use, the headset automatically will set itself to standby to preserve battery life.

Volume control during calls is handled via a ‘+' and ‘-' button for up and down, respectively. A mute function is also available, which triggers a clever audible tone heard every two seconds to remind you of the current talk status. Logitech claims the talk time to be seven hours on one charge of the rechargeable battery, which can be powered up again by plugging the headset into a grey, oblong carrying case which doubles as a charger.

Those needing to know the current status of their phone will be able to check a multi-colored LED light, which flashes at different speeds and intervals to indicate anything from in-use to low battery.

The Logitech Bluetooth Headset features a comfortable behind-the-neck design.

The overall design of the headset is compact and easy to carry, though it is somewhat larger then comparable products from other manufacturers. A foldable microphone boom can be adjusted to different angles for close proximity to a person's mouth, while the button adjustable clip-on ear design makes it possible to wear the headset on either ear. The slightly circular, well constructed design makes the piece sit comfortably, while it's stylish look and multi-gray colors don't make someone wearing it look too much like a space explorer.
