Do you want the best headset? 
Do you find yourself in the market for a new wireless office headset that you can use with your computer and mobile devices? Maybe you’re a bit confused as to which model would be best given your specific situation.
It can be hard to know which model to choose given there are so many different makes and models to choose from.
In this blog, we’re not going to be much help to you in sorting through all the various options out there. But, we can help you to learn more about one of the available models that might very well be the one you end up with.
Come along with me as I go through some of the many features found on the Logitech Zone Wireless Bluetooth headset for your computer and mobile devices.
Before I get started, I did want you to know that we created a video review of the Zone Wireless. So, if you’re more inclined to watch a video over slogging your way through a written blog, go ahead and watch the video below! :)
In this video, I’ll not only cover the features of the Logitech Zone Wireless Headset, but I’ll also provide you with a microphone test to show you how well it picks up the voice. Additionally, I’ll play some loud music so you can hear how well this Logitech wireless headset is able to reduce that annoying background noise you have to deal with on a daily basis.
For everyone else, join me as I take a review walk down the Logitech Zone Wireless lane. Along the way, you might come to the conclusion that this model is the perfect wireless headset for you, or not. Either way, I do hope that you find this informative.
Let’s get started!
What is a Logitech Zone Wireless?
In short, the Logitech Zone Wireless Headset is a Bluetooth wireless headset that’s worn over the head and covers both of your ears. You can connect it to a computer via the included USB dongle, and you can connect it to your mobile devices through Bluetooth.
What makes the Logitech Zone Wireless worth considering?
Consider these valuable features for a moment:
Talk Time
With the Logitech Zone Wireless, you get can enjoy a stout 14 hours of talk time per charge. That should allow you to power your way through any day, no matter how challenging it might be.
The high capacity battery recharges in just 2 hours. If you don’t have 2 hours to spare, plugging in the Logitech Zone Wireless Bluetooth Headset for just 5 minutes will give you 1 whole hour of talk time. To me, this seems not only very adequate in terms of battery duration, but the quick five minute charge for a full 1 hour of use can be handy in a lot of cases too.
On the subject of charging, the Logitech Zone Bluetooth headset offers an optional wireless charging pad. Simply lay the headset on the pad, and the battery will charge. This charger functions in a similar way to the wireless chargers you see on the market being used to recharge mobile phones.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)
What is ANC? This is an electronic feature that helps to filter out unwanted background noise. A button on the Zone Wireless headset activates and deactivates active noise cancellation. If things get noisy, turn it on. If it’s not too loud, there is no need for ANC. One of the great benefits of the Logitech Zone Wireless Bluetooth Headset is that you have the choice to use its ANC or not.
This is a premium feature not found on most headsets in this class, so it’s a great feature to have. ANC helps your callers to have a more pleasant call experience by not having them subjected to the noise that might be going on around you.
Kids out of control yelling, fighting and throwing toys around behind your work station? No problem. Dog barking for several minutes at a time whenever he sees the mailman drive by, or, God forbid, approach the house to deliver the mail? Got that covered, too. Maybe the landscape crew decided that the weed eater and lawnmower are most efficient when used right outside your office window.
No matter the source, when you have ANC on your side, you can help reduce the intensity of that out-of-control noise and stay focused on your important work.
While on the subject of reducing noise, you might want to check out our video review of this wireless Bluetooth headset. In the video, we briefly discuss a new AI software package that is available to further reduce distracting noise in your workplace.
If eliminating distracting noise is important to you, then you won’t want to miss learning more about this Artificial Intelligence Software -- the sole purpose of which is to reduce noise. So have a look at our video if this is of interest to you.
Wireless Range
The Logitech Zone Wireless is rated up to 100 feet of wireless talk range. These distances are normally associated with ideal conditions. Unlike real-world conditions that have to contend with things such as barriers (walls, elevators, brick, steel, you name it), you should expect to receive less than what you might read on a spec sheet.
That being said, we went ahead and tested the wireless range on the Logitech Zone Wireless. This test can be found in the video we did on this product, and the link we provided earlier in this blog. Check it out if you’d like to see our test firsthand. To sum it up, the Logitech Zone Wireless Bluetooth Headset performed and passed our test with flying colors.
Logitech claims an estimated 100 feet of wireless talk range, and we got very close. Though not a full 100 feet, it did well considering how many walls the wireless signal had to penetrate to maintain the connection. Overall, it did a nice job to keep the signal as we walked.
Connectivity
The Logitech Zone Wireless connects to a computer via the included USB dongle, and it also connects to mobile devices via Bluetooth. This gives you a variety of options as to how you can use this handy wireless headset.
Unlike other brands that place limits on your ability to connect, the Logitech Zone Wireless helps to keep you flexible. Need to connect to your computer for that upcoming Zoom call? No problem. Using RingCentral for your phone system? Logitech has your calls covered. Maybe you want to have a hands-free experience with your mobile phone or tablet? Check and check. This wireless headset isn’t done cooking because there’s even more great stuff coming.
Microphone
The microphone on the Logitech Zone Wireless is noise canceling. This means that it filters out unwanted background noise so your callers hear you and not what’s going on around you.
We all want to sound as good as possible when on a phone call or video call. Having a microphone with the capacity to cancel out background noise is a step in that direction. Honestly, it’s hard to imagine a quality wireless headset not having this feature.
While on the subject of the microphone, the Logitech Zone Wireless Bluetooth Headset actually utilizes a dual microphone array. This is a feature that’s more uncommon than common, and I might add, better than one microphone alone. More technology aimed at voice quality and noise reduction just can’t be a bad thing, right?
Raise the microphone up, and it mutes automatically and it gives you an audible alert to remind you that you’re in a mute state. Lower the microphone boom, and the alert turns off and the microphone turns back on. This is a handy feature if you need to have a quick side conversation or maybe you’re mashing that ham sandwich while powering your way through lunch at your desk.
Besides raising the microphone boom arm to mute the microphone, you can also mute the mic by doing these things:
- Depressing the mute button located on the microphone boom arm.
- Activate mute by using the Logi Tune App
So you have a few ways to turn off your microphone.
1. Position microphone on right or left
The microphone boom arm rotates a full 270 degrees which enables the wearer to position the microphone on the right or left side. Some prefer one over the other, and the Zone Wireless gives you the option to locate the boom on the side of your choice. Small thing? Perhaps. But, it’s always nice to have choices, right?
2. Sound technology
The Zone Wireless features Digital Signal Processing (DSP) as well as wideband audio and an embedded audio equalizer for optimizing sound. These audio tech features help to provide you with a better sound experience for your calls and music. If quality sound is important to you, then these features should get your attention in a favorable way.
3. Audible Alerts
This Bluetooth enabled wireless headset puts audible alerts into your headset earpiece for these functions:
- Battery Life
- When mute has been activated
- Power
- Active Noise Cancellation
- Connection status
Having an audible alert makes it easy to know the status of these features. Some wireless headsets provide alerts, while many don’t. It’s like having a personal assistant to inform you as you use your wireless headset.
Comfort
Besides the need for great sound quality, a Bluetooth wireless headset needs to be comfortable. We spend long, hard hours at our desks fielding calls and performing our work duties. If you’re wearing your headset for eight hours during your 9-5, you had better hope it’s comfortable!
When I tested the Logitech Zone Wireless Bluetooth headset, I found it to be very comfortable. Could I see myself wearing this headset for an extended period of time? Yes, I could! Here are a few of my thoughts as to why I feel this way:
The Logitech Zone Wireless Bluetooth headset is average in terms of weight. It’s not the heaviest wireless headset in the world by any means, but it’s not the lightest. Certainly, though, the weight of this headset makes it light enough to allow you to wear it for extended periods of time with a comfortable, snug but not tight fit on your head.
The ear pads have sufficient padding to allow them to be worn comfortably as well. Some wireless headsets don’t provide enough padding, which can lead, over time, to you feeling the hard plastic speaker housing that lies beneath the ear cushions.
We didn’t have that experience with the Zone Wireless headset. It felt comfortable on the ear and left me with the impression that the padding was enough to give you a comfortable wearing experience.
The size of the ear cushions themselves was slightly larger than most other headsets, which is a good thing. The speakers themselves rotate so you can find the right position for your ears.
The headband adjusts to allow you to find the right sizing. Having an adjustable headband is one of the things that go into making a headset comfortable to wear. I felt that the Zone Wireless was fine when it came to making an adjustment on the headband.
Speaking of the headband, the Logitech Zone Wireless does have a feature not common to many other Bluetooth office wireless headsets. It folds down. You can collapse the headset and place it into the travel pouch that’s included. This makes it more compact and convenient if traveling because you no longer have to tote around a bulky pair of headphones. You can collapse it down and pack it away into a briefcase, suitcase or handbag to free up your hands and make travel easier. A feature we didn’t expect, yet this should be useful to a lot of people.
The last thing about the headband that I absolutely loved is that it’s padded. Rather than having a hard metal piece pressing against the top of your head, you’re treated with a soft, neoprene type of cushion to lend more comfort to your dome as you wear the Logitech Zone Wireless Bluetooth Headset.
Along with the sound quality, comfort is king, and this pad helps to deliver more of what we all want when we’re asked to wear a headset all day long: comfort.
Warranty
The Logitech Zone Wireless comes with a 2 year warranty. That’s a decent warranty for a wireless headset! Historically, a 2 year warranty is more in common with what you get when purchasing a wired headset, not a wireless model. We were very impressed with this deal.
For a very long time, the industry standard was 1 year for wireless headsets, with Plantronics leading the way with the first 1 year warranty offering. However, recently, that appears to be changing with manufacturers facing more competition. Along with that heightened competition, we’re seeing the manufacturers getting more generous with their warranties. It’s a win for the consumer like you and me, who will benefit from extended warranties on the products we buy.
Likely this is so they can be more competitive, and help to attract more customers which is good for the consumer. You’re even seeing some headset providers offering 3 year warranties, like the Discover brand for example. Still, having a 2 year warranty on a Bluetooth wireless headset is solid.
Price
The Logitech Zone Wireless has a suggested selling price of $229.95, though it’s currently offered on our website for $209.99, and it can even be rented for under $15.00 per month. To view this model on our website, here’s the link:
This price puts the Logitech Zone Wireless at the midpoint of wireless headsets. There are models that are more expensive, and some are priced a little lower. All in all, this is a fair price for what you get.
Summary
If you’re looking for a good quality, great-sounding, comfortable Bluetooth wireless headset to connect to your computer and mobile devices, you really need to take a close look at the Zone Wireless.
This is a comfortable headset you can wear all day with a wireless range that’s among the best in its class. The sound quality is good, and having the Active Noise Cancellation feature is unexpected for a headset in this price range.
It folds down and stows in the included pouch for convenient traveling, and the 14 hours of talk time and 5 minute charge to get an hour of use is more than just ok. And, being able to swing the microphone boom arm up to mute is a nice feature and very convenient when needing a quick side conversation, or taking that needed sip of morning coffee.
All in all, you just can’t go wrong if you put this headset on your shortlist.
