Logitech have today announced a new headset designed specifically for VoIP usage in the form of their new ClearChat PC Wireless Headset which, according to Logitech’s official press release, takes stereo wireless PC headsets to the next level in terms of sound quality thanks to laser tuned audio units and 2.4GHz connectivity.

Logitech’s new ClearChat PC Wireless Headset offers a reported range of up to 33ft / 10m from the headset’s USB based transmitter which, according to Logitech, connects to a PC or Mac computer right out of the box (though we suspect that, rather connecting itself, you may actually have to get involved in the proceedings – Logitech are good, but not that good). Additionally, the ClearChat PC Wireless Headset’s microphone not only offers noise-cancelling but also automatic muting when rotated to an upright position with an integrated LED that glows red indicating when the mic is muted, thus saving you from talking to yourself for hours.

Naturally, apart from working with VoIP applications such as Skype, Windows Live, Aim et al, Logitech also emphasise that their ClearChat PC Wireless Headset can, in somewhat of a shock revelation, also be used for online gaming and even listening to music (yes, I know, it’s a crazy idea) which, whilst not wishing to take any credit away from Logitech, and unless we’re very much mistaken, is very much in keeping with people’s general preconceptions as to what headphones generally tend to offer.
Logitech’s new ClearChat PC Wireless Headset is due to become available in May (though its already listed on the Logitech UK site) and will retail for around £70 / $100.
