Simply be aware its single technique of connectivity, in addition to a maybe greater than anticipated value.

Introduction

Logitech boasts a powerful fame on the earth of peripherals, be it fashionable headsets, modern keyboards or quick-fire mice. 

However now they’re turning their arms again into the world of enterprise peripherals with the launch of the brand new Logitech Zone Vibe 100 headset, particularly designed with conferencing in thoughts.

It seems good in gray, and presents strong audio efficiency and a good microphone. However is it value your time if you happen to’re spending numerous time in conferences? Let’s have a look.

Design and options

• Trendy seems and design
• Cloth headband presents okay help
• Single technique of connectivity – Bluetooth – is okay

The Logitech Zone Vibe 100 is a contemporary trying headset that can match effectively right into a ahead considering and modern workplace or residence workplace surroundings. It seems as if Logitech has hit its goal market completely in that regard.

The pattern I’ve received right here seems fetching in gray, however the Zone Vibe 100 can be out there in an off-white and rose-peach sort color, too, which look equally good within the press photos I’ve seen. It’s nice to see colors that aren’t simply black getting used on headsets for a change.

There are some important design nods from the likes of the G535 Lightspeed gaming headset with the overall form and really feel of the headset, however I’m grateful Logitech’s extra business-like, conferencing headset doesn’t provide the bizarre cloth bungee adjustable headband.  

As a substitute, Logitech has determined to go for a skinny piece of material that merely rests in your head versus providing any actual clamping power. Don’t get me improper, the Logitech Zone Vibe 100 didn’t really feel wobbly or prefer it was going to come back off my head at any level throughout testing, however a lightweight clamping power can provide some reassurance because it have been. The scope for adjustment is respectable, though it does generally tend to maneuver in your head as the headscarf slides out of place. 

The material padding on provide is okay and sufficient to offer respectable noise isolation, but it surely’s significantly better on earcups that the skinny headband. The Zone Vibe 100’s gray plastic and cloth development additionally means it’s fairly light-weight (as is evidenced by its complete 185g mass) and simple to sling right into a bag if you wish to go and work elsewhere versus the workplace. 

It’s additionally good to see that the multimedia controls contain precise tactile buttons versus wheels and toggles with little resistance or feeling to them. On the left-hand facet, you’ll discover buttons for controlling quantity, accepting calls and for toggling Bluetooth in addition to a USB-C port for charging; the right-hand facet merely homes a play and pause button. 

There’s solely a single mode of connectivity with the Zone Vibe 100, and it comes within the type of Bluetooth. It’s useful and pairing is tremendous easy. The dearth of connectivity through a USB receiver could also be a sore miss, but it surely’s reserved for the dearer Vibe 125 on this headset lineup. Not less than the Bluetooth connectivity means it’s also possible to join the Vibe 100 to a variety of units, be it laptops, telephones, desktops, tablets, or one thing else.

The Logitech Zone Vibe 100 is quoted to final for 18 hours on a cost, which is respectable sufficient battery life for getting via a few working days. Whereas equally priced gaming headsets provide extra battery life, the Vibe 100 isn’t meant to compete with these.

Further software program comes within the type of Logi Tune. It presents fundamental customisation and configuration choices for enabling EQs and adjusting mic sidetone, in addition to working diagnostics and updating firmware. It’s all housed inside a small sidebar fashion menu, versus being its personal separate windowed utility, which is attention-grabbing. There is probably not a lot with the Vibe 100’s software program, however what’s there may be useful.

Audio and microphone

• First rate all-round audio
• Flip to mute microphone is handy
• Mic additionally options good physique and readability

The audio expertise out of the Logitech Zone Vibe 100 isn’t groundbreaking, however offers a superb all-round expertise for video games and music. There’s numerous mid-range, which is useful, as that’s the place a lot of the components of musical audio lives, however the backside finish did really feel slightly misplaced at instances.

A take heed to Rush’s Working Man as an example didn’t pack as a lot of the same old low-end rumble and oomph I’ve come to count on from that music. Admittedly, the top-end is slightly sparkly which makes the Zone Vibe 100 a usually nice hear for many issues. 

It’s value noting that this headset’s function is for conferences and calls, so the best way it handles with music and video games, is taking a again seat. With that in thoughts, vocals and voices sounded clear when listening both to the brand new Arctic Monkeys, sitting in video conferences or listening to podcasts and audiobooks all through the day. For its supposed function, the Logitech Vibe 100 sounds fairly good.

The microphone on provide here’s a flip to mute candidate, which is turning into extra frequent. It offers some respectable readability with some physique to it, though can sound slightly skinny at instances. In testing with pals over Discord, they famous the mic sounded fairly good, and to my ear, it’s consistent with gaming headsets that price much more. 

The very fact it outputs in stereo versus mono can be a pleasant contact if you wish to use it for any recording/streaming, however for this, you’ll be higher off with a extra reasonably priced standalone USB mic. XLR could also be out of the query at this extra reasonably priced finish of the dimensions, although.
