Logitech ClearChat PC Wireless Headset Review

Introduction

It’s always a pleasure to test new wireless devices. After all, there’s nothing more annoying then a veritable jungle of wiring hanging from the PC. The Logitech Clear Chat PC Wireless is a headset (microphone + headphone) that not only is cordless but also truly plug-and-play, being very easy to install and promptly use. It’s better for VoIP applications than gaming and listening to music, as we are about to see on our test.

The package contains the headset itself, a charger, the USB transmitter and a wired cradle for the transmitter. The Clear Chat has a padded thin metal headband and a bendable microphone outside the left ear cup. The right ear cup houses the controls (on/off, volume and mute mic) and the charger jack. The small ear cups are mounted on articulated joints that allow a better fit.
