Logitech Wireless Headset syncs with Bluetooth
I seem to be reviewing a lot of Bluetooth Wireless headsets lately. There was the Jabra SPORT as well as the NuForce BT-860, and I notice that there isn’t much to say about them other than the fact that they are wireless.
I will have to admit that the Logitech’s seems to ignore the traditional black for white. It also has a nice noise-cancelling microphone that reduces background noise and can detect a whisper. The microphone can rotate upward into the headphones for something more compact.
While we are on the subject of compact, I will say that these headphones can fold up like sunglasses. It also has an adjustable headband.
