Absolutely right, if someone states that they don’t like something then there’s hardly any point reading a review they post or even talking to them about a product and yet its so easy to not like something.
I experienced this myself with logitech Headsets, I had one in 2007 and the headset can only be described as utterly dreadful so I was very much against Logitech headsets until people started talking about the H800 Wireless offering. It took some convincing but I did buy one and - apart from the awful build quality - I was impressed with it and still use it. Yes, the H800 does have shortcomings as I said built quality isn’t good and it would have been nice if Logitech had used a better Bluetooth system but its still pretty good value for the buck. > On 30 Nov 2014, at 5:26 am, Walter Ramage <w...@blueyonder.co.uk> wrote: > > Hi.
