Okay let’s get a few things sorted. The Logitech H800 headset is not designed for broadcasting in any respect, its a headset designed for Skype, VOIP and casual music listening and this I would have thought should have been fairly obvious given the price charged for the unit.
If you’re into Skype and communications then perhaps this headset is value for money though I certainly wouldn’t class the H800 has a value for money product. If Wireless chatting is what you want from your computer using the supplied Wireless USB Receiver with Skype then yep, the headset is passable but not the best solution by any manner of means for several reasons. Whilst the Wireless Receiver seems to perform nicely you cannot use the controls on the headset to answer/end Skype calls which is unfortunate and I’ve seen no documentation anywhere to suggest any workarounds here, not a huge problem I agree but certainly one which could have been addressed so its a minor irritation. If you’re planning on using the H800’s Bluetooth connection for communications then low quality audio is what you’re going to get and no wonder given the early Bluetooth version used, better headsets can be bought with far better clarity. As for Broadcasting and using a microphone for that? Well honestly I thought the author of the original email was having a joke surely, no one in their right mind would use this Headsets microphone for broadcasting nor any similar headsets microphone for the same purpose, again these headsets are specifically designed for chatting and the microphones of same have processing for noise cancelling and so on which make them incredibly nasty sounding tools for the broadcast environment. If you’re thinking of broadcasting terms for microphones then - at the very least - consider the Logitech USB Desktop microphone which has surprisingly good sounding characteristics at a very reasonable price of $20, you’ll find that this microphone has a far better dynamic range than those headset microphones. I posted a link to the list some time ago with a link to an article which discussed recommended microphones for Podcasting/Broadcasting, the Yti Blue was amongst the recommendations but regardless of that, try the Logitech Microphone first, its a bargain given its price, bought mine 6 years ago and I still use it. As for the Logitech H800 Headset? I wish they’d either retire that headset or update the thing. I owned one of these headsets and it does have plenty of potential I admit but even the build quality of a disgrace with the Plantronics model showing the Logitech as looking terribly beaten, I think the Plantronics model is something like Plantronics Audio 995. > On 16 Nov 2015, at 10:31 AM, Joy Tilton <joyctil...@comcast.net> wrote: > > Okay, I've a logitech H800, which is a decent headset.
