Logitech Zone Vibe 100 Headset - Review
We tested the Logitech Zone Vibe 100 extensively in the laboratory and reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the affordable headset.
If the Logitech Zone Vibe 100 headset were a sofa, it would not be an exquisitely designed black leather type of furniture, but rather a comfy sofa with luxurious upholstery on which you could gladly lounge for a whole evening of TV.
Unlike most other headsets, the ear cups are coated with fabric and have extremely soft padding. This combination allows you to wear the headphones for an extended period of time without experiencing pressure pain.
Those with sensitive ears will like the over-ear design, which does not press directly on the ears but entirely encloses the auricle. This shape also helps to filter out some ambient noise, which on-ear headphones do not do effectively.
However, there is no active noise cancellation (ANC) on the Logitech Zone Vibe 100, which is not surprising given the low price.
This device also lacks a wireless connection from Logitech. If you want both a USB radio dongle and a Bluetooth connection, you must get the Logitech Zone Vibe 125 model.
However, for gamers in particular, this made sense because the wireless connection outperforms Bluetooth in terms of latency and data speed.
It is, of course, critical that the Logitech Zone Vibe 100 be equipped with the most recent Bluetooth version, especially for use as an office headset. Bluetooth 5.0 supports the so-called multi-point connection.
In practice, this involves maintaining a connection to both the mobile phone and the work computer at the same time. Calls on the smartphone and video calls on the PC, for example, can both be accepted.
Anyone who enjoys listening to music at work will welcome this technology, as incoming calls are routed through and the music is turned down when the call is answered. This is very practical and worked flawlessly in the exam.
The small microphone arm, which must be folded out to activate the microphone, is also extremely useful. Alternatively, you can swiftly fold your arm up with a quick hand movement to turn off the microphone.
The headset may be charged through USB-C, but no power supply is included. The battery lasted a little more than 18 hours in the lab, which is a pretty decent value but not particularly spectacular.
The sound quality of the headset was fairly good in the practical test. When listening to music, both the voice quality and the sound quality are not significantly poor. Only the little bass accent in the basic setting could be criticized.
The acoustic engineers in the test lab have similar perspectives. You describe a sound that is tonally balanced, has few top highs and is not extremely precise. This, however, may be fine-tuned with the 5-band graphic equalizer so that the sound fits the chosen music type.
Because it sits so securely on the head, the Logitech Zone Vibe 100 is an excellent choice for an over-ear headset, particularly for everyday office use. The sound quality is adequate, but it falls short of many, particularly high-end headphones, in part due to the lack of ANC.
A wireless connection is essential for active players. At much under 100 dollars, the price is really appealing.
