Logitech have been better known for input peripherals for their home entertainment solutions. They’ve got everything from audio solutions, speakers to all-in-one remote controls under the roof. While most of their products are for desktop and notebook users, here’s a product that could suit everyone from gamers to mobile phone and tablet users. Their new H800 Wireless Headset is a Bluetooth-enabled headset with a built-in microphone. While most Bluetooth enabled earpieces only fit one ear and are ideal for voice calls, this could be used for casual music listening, gaming and voice calls.

 

Design and build quality

In terms of design, the Logitech H800 is a headset with basic looks- it’s got the usual adjustable headband, foam pads with no felt or cloth covers, a protruding microphone arm and it’s got controls on one side. In terms of build quality, it’s not too impressive. The headset is understandably designed to be light, but sudden jolt or twist could break the headband easily. There’s provision to fold the headphones, so it’s a little easy to carry around.

The pads covering the ears have some motion, fitting all ears just fine. The microphone arm extends and is also flexible, so you can adjust it to keep the microphone at the right distance from your mouth. The control buttons on one side of the headset feel clunky and don’t feel like they’re of good quality, same is the case with the covers of the compartments that house each driver. While the right side has the controls for playback and accepting calls, the left side is used to store a wireless dongle - something that’s used, if you’re using a notebook or PC, for example.

 

Features

The H800 wireless headset comes with inbuilt batteries and it can be charged using a simple microUSB connector, like any other phone. The batteries cannot be removed or replaced. The controls on the H800, include a basic volume control, the upper button on the left side of the headphone can be used to increase the volume, while the lower one can be used to drop it. There are printed markings as well as small dots that make it easy to figure out the controls when you're wearing it. There’s also a play/pause button and a microphone mute button. The controls for next and previous track and placed underneath the earphone, right next to the microUSB charging port and a mode selection switch.

The mode selection switch is handy - users can switch the headset on, or switch it to Bluetooth mode for tablets and phones or the dongle mode, which is used when you connect the headset to a notebook or PC using the bundled USB dongle.

How We Test

The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There’s a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.

Verdict
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.


Features
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they’re buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.

Performance
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.

Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn’t fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.
