Logitech Wireless Headset H820e Launched

Logitech has just launched the Logitech Wireless Headset H820e, where it has been specially manufactured for unified communications and PC-based soft phones, delivering together enterprise-grade audio as well as innovative features, all crammed into an affordable package that delivers wireless freedom which is practical for just about anyone and everyone in the organization, and it is also capable of working in all types of locations – ranging from traditional cubicles to open offices, and heck, even from home.

Just what do you think the Logitech Wireless Headset H820e will be able to deliver right out of the box? For starters, it comes with true-to-life sound, so even if you work in the noisiest of environments, the noise-cancelling microphone would still be able to help you get your message across loud and clear, where it is made possible thanks to the acoustic echo cancellation and digital signal processing (DSP) capabilities. Other than that, do bear in mind that the headset has been optimized for Microsoft Lync, and will also play nice with all major unified communication and soft phone applications, Cisco platforms included.

You will be able to garner an industry-leading 10 hours of wideband talk time, which should be more than enough to get through even the longest workday. You will be able to choose from two models – mono and dual, which will work with one ear and both ears, respectively, and regardless of which model you choose, you will still not have to fork out more than $200.

Logitech has decided to design the Logitech H820e based on their heritage for human-centric design, where it boasts of an in-call LED indicator light located at the back of the microphone boom so that it prevents interruptions during calls, on-ear volume control buttons that have been carefully positioned on either side of the head band that makes it easy to find via touch, and auto-pair by docking.

Panasonic Announces SC-NT10 Portable Wireless Speaker

When it comes to portable wireless speakers, these are dime a dozen, and with so many models in the market to choose from, which is the main factor that helps you decide? Some folks look at features, others take price into consideration at the top of their list, while there is still yet another group who refers to the brand name before they pry open their wallets. If Panasonic is your cup of tea, then you would do well to check out their latest release, which happens to be the SC-NT10 portable wireless speaker system.

The Panasonic SC-NT10 is, of course, one portable wireless speaker system that offers a whole lot more than one would expect from its looks. This portable wireless speaker system comes with Bluetooth connectivity to hook up with other devices that also “talk” via Bluetooth, and not only that, it has Quad Proof “tough” performance, making it the ideal speaker system for outdoor use, with its innards crammed into a compact size, allowing it to be one extremely portable speaker system.

I guess you can more or less call this the modern day boombox of sorts, albeit it is a whole lot more portable, shuns them pesky cables that seem to get all tangled up after a while, and certainly it does not need any “D” batteries to run. The quartet of “tough” performance traits that the Panasonic SC-NT10 is all about allows it to be used in just about any outdoor setting.

The device itself is said to be splash-proof, which means you are able to use it near water areas such as the pool or beach, and since it is also dust-proof, it is well suited for areas such as sandy beaches. Being shock-proof would mean it has already passed drop tests from a maximum of 30”, and being heat/freeze-proof, the device can withstand severe climates. Running on a rechargeable battery that can run for up to 8 hours non-stop, you can also use the SC-NT10 to juice up your smartphone or tablet via USB, now how about that? The Panasonic SC-NT10 Portable Wireless Speaker will arrive in Black and Blue/Black this fall, where it will retail for $99.99 a pop. [Via]
