Review of Logitech's Bluetooth Headset
Logitech is getting into the Bluetooth headset game — and from the looks of it, is behind a generation or two from the latest headsets from SE, Motorola, Jabra and Nokia:
In tests under normal operating conditions (for example driving and talking), the Logitech headset performed
fairly well. Most people on the other end said the voice quality was good, though several complained about a buzzing
and/or echo sound. However, it wasn't clear to us whether this is a condition of the headset's Bluetooth connection
or normal cellular usage. On the owner's side of things, sound quality was strong and fairly clear with only some
once-in-a-while crackling. A touted background noise cancellation feature worked as advertised, blocking out exterior
noise effectively from one caller who was inside a noisy mall. Another claim made by Logitech of a 30 foot maximum
distance from phone to headset before the signal dropped out was somewhat accurate. Tests showed the signal starting
to get choppy around 15 or 20 feet, with callers having a difficult time hearing.
Still, Logitech perfected the wireless mouse, and we wouldn't be surprised to see them get it right, later on down the road.
