Features
One of the standout features of the Zone Wireless 2 is its Advanced Call Clarity.
The AI-driven technology can effectively separate the other caller’s voice from background noise, ensuring crystal-clear communication even if the person you’re speaking to isn’t using a noise-canceling headset. It creates a two-way noise suppression system that virtually eliminates distractions.
Adaptive Noise Cancellation
The Zone Wireless 2’s hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is another highlight. It expertly blocks out ambient noise, from keyboard clicks to nearby chatter and HVAC hums, providing a peaceful and distraction-free workspace for professionals.
Personalized EQ- Audio Experience
In a bid to cater to individual hearing ranges, Logitech introduced the Personal EQ feature. It allows users to personalize their audio experience with a self-administered hearing test. It not only enhances comfort but also ensures that you’re not missing out on any important details during your calls or meetings.
Seamless Device Transition and Smart Touch Controls
The Zone Wireless 2 makes it effortless to switch between different devices throughout your workday, thanks to its multipoint Bluetooth connectivity. Whether you’re switching between your laptop and smartphone or any other device, the transition is smooth and hassle-free. Smart touch controls on the ear cup provide easy media and volume management, and Logi Tune’s on-ear detection makes using the headset a breeze.
Certified for Your Preferred Communication Platforms
One aspect of the Zone Wireless 2 that’s sure to please IT teams is its certification for various communication platforms, including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Google Voice, and Fast Pair. The integration with Sync, Logitech’s device management platform, ensures secure and scalable remote management of the headset.
Pros and Cons
Zone Wireless 2 headset comes with interchangeable earpads and a replaceable battery. One aspect where the Zone Wireless 2 might not outshine its competitors is battery life. While it offers up to 40 hours of listening with ANC off, the numbers drop to 22 hours with ANC on and 15 hours of talk time with ANC on. This means you’ll need to charge it every couple of days with regular use. Additionally, the volume and audio quality dip when the battery drops below 40%, which can be a minor inconvenience.
Some users might find the auto-pause feature occasionally misses the mark, and the tilt mute feature can be a bit hit-or-miss. However, the noise-canceling functionality works exceptionally well, reducing background noise to near perfection.
Despite its minor cons, the Zone Wireless 2 impresses with its comfort and lightweight design. The ear cushions and headband cover are crafted from memory foam, making the headset feel as comfortable as a cloud, even during extended work or entertainment sessions.
Price and availability:
The Zone Wireless 2 stands as a worthy investment for professionals seeking superior audio quality, comfort, and style. The price of the headset is not mentioned on the official website, but it is likely to be higher than the previous model, which was priced at $229.99 (USD) / £299.99 (GBP) / AU$499.95 (AUD), expected to be available for purchase globally in the fall.
The Verdict:
The Logitech Zone Wireless 2 is an impressive addition to the world of luxury headsets, leveraging AI features to elevate your hybrid work experience. It offers top-notch call clarity, adaptive noise cancellation, and a personalized audio experience. With its stylish design and commitment to sustainability, Logitech has yet again delivered a product that resonates with the demands of the modern workforce.
