Well I am using the Logitech G930, and as a
headset it is quite good, though as you say the
microphone is for communications, not for doing
much else due to it's processing, etc.
I haven't yet tried to program the extra buttons
for controlling my Skype or music shuttling, etc.
not sure if I can do that with a screen reader or not.
The headset though has very good frequency
response with quite surprising very low bass
response, E.G. Michael Murray pipe organ music
where 23Hz is quite well heard without second
harmonic distortion which is more common than
most folks realize for headsets, let alone speakers. :)

Okay letâs 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 youâre into Skype and communications then
perhaps this headset is value for money though I
certainly wouldnât 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 Iâve 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 youâre planning on using the H800âs
Bluetooth connection for communications then low
quality audio is what youâre 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 youâre 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, youâll 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
theyâd 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.
