Review: Mini Review: Logitech USB Headset Stereo H650e

Review: Mini Review: Logitech USB Headset Stereo H650e

The Logitech USB Headset Stereo H650e is another business-orientated headset from Logitech.

In many ways it is very similar to the Logitech Wireless Headset Dual H820e, with an almost identical design that is simple, yet also good looking and professional.

It has the same faux-leather ear cups and head rest that look nice and ensure that the headset is comfortable to wear for long periods of time. As with the Logitech Wireless Headset Dual H820e, the microphone's boom arm is adjustable, so you can place it in the 'up' position when you're not using it.

The H650e comes as a stereo headset with two ear pieces, which do a good job of cancelling out surrounding noise, so you can concentrate on your call.

Where the H650e is different to the H820e is that it is not wireless, instead coming with a USB cable. The cable is long enough to connect to your computer and not have you awkwardly leaning over the keyboard, though it's still a far cry from the freedom offered by the wireless H820e.

An in-line remote allows you to control the volume and mute the headset, as well as take calls (though this feature doesn't work with all software), but we had no problem getting it to work with Microsoft Lync.

The controls on the cable mean that there are none on the headset itself, and the in-line remote is one of the more bulky remotes we've seen, but for professional use this is not a problem. The H650e comes with a nice carry pouch and is a fair bit cheaper than the H820e.

Of course, the most important thing about a headset for business use is the audio and recording quality. Thankfully, the H650e does not disappoint, with clear and accurate sound reproduction from the speakers, along with excellent noise and echo cancellation, courtesy of the microphone.

Verdict

The Logitech USB Headset Stereo H650e is a very good business headset, with excellent audio and recording quality.

It has a decent design and is comfortable to wear, and the price is about right for the features you get.

At a push we prefer the wireless H820e, which gives you more freedom when on a call, but it does come with a higher price tag.

If you want an affordable headset with excellent sound quality, though, the Logitech USB Headset Stereo H650e is a fantastic choice.

Meizu Russia confirms “Ubuntu rumors”

Yup, just as we’ve told you before, Ubuntu is coming to a Meizu smartphone near you. We still don’t have the official announcement, but details keep coming.,, The latest information (or that’s confirmation) comes from Meizu Russia, which says that Meizu engineers are in fact working on an Ubuntu version of the Meizu MX3. The work is apparently still underway to make things stable, and in the meantime they [engineers] are also working on a new version of Android-based Flyme ROM for both the Meizu MX2 and MX3, adding that Ubuntu won’t be released until the updated Flyme ROM is launched. It is said that Meizu will use Ubuntu as its ticket to the US market later in the year. At that time, we may also see either a revamped MX3 model or the whole new MX4 smartphone that will sport even better hardware under the hood.

Mad, bad, rad! The craziest extreme sports ever

While extreme sports often seem like masochistic thrill-rides for musclemen and daredevils, they’re not all about brawn. Skateboarding, BMXing, free running, you name a crazy, adrenalin pumping sport and the likelihood is you’ll find someone with a Lumia in-hand. Maybe it’s the smartphones’ creative design or the crazy colours. Who knows? But one thing’s for sure, extreme sports people love to think outside (cartwheel over and jump) the box. To see for yourself, prepare to marvel at the most imaginative sports ever invented. And, please, do NOT try these at home… Human Slingshot Well, this does what it says on the tin. Think bungee cord, a hill, an 8ft jump, a willing victim and a big lake. A quad bike and a bungee cord tug you and your dinghy down the slope and over the jump; the bungee whips the dingy away, and you’re in the air! Definitely not for the weak of heart, but still the closest you might ever come to flying. Train Surfing When waves just don’t cut it for you anymore, you...
