Logitech ClearChat PC Wireless Headset

Posted on Mar 4, 08 01:00 AM PDT

Logitech has just released its first wireless stereo headset that targets Internet calling via the PC – the ClearChat PC Wireless headset. Not only does Logitech claim you get high-performance stereo audio through 2.4GHz wireless technology, you also get to carry on with your conversation even away from the PC thanks to it being wireless. Just make sure you don't get out of the intended range (10 meters) if you don't want to suffer from dropped calls. Each purchase comes with a padded headband and plush ear pads, and is compatible with Skype, Windows Live, Yahoo!, Google Talk and AIM. The Logitech ClearChat PC Wireless headset will arrive in US and Europe this May for $99.99.

2.4 GHz is used by tons of products, including Wi-Fi (802.11), newer cordless phones, and even Bluetooth devices. Various other devices interfere with the 2.4 spectrum also, such as microwaves, refigerators, etc., which is why your phone can get fuzzy when you turn the TV on or run your microwave (depending on shielding and stuff). There are tons of issues with 2.4 and really most wireless communications. The 2.4 spectrum is worse still because it has overlapping channels, so e.g. channel 1 and 2 share some frequencies, causing some interference; you'll want to use 1 and 6 or something farther apart. That said, if you configure things correctly you can usually keep interference to a minimum. :)

Really don't get why they haven't made an ejectable battery and sell these things with two... one in the charger while the other is in use. Also would really like to see this thing in a behind the ear type format instead of over the head.
Awesome touch with that mute light on the mic, can't tell ya how many times I've talked to a muted mic before on other headsets.

Uses 2.4GHz and so has potential to interfere with WiFi.

The disadvantage is that it needs to be recharged. This is painful when you need to urgently attend a chat and realize the charge is drained out.
