"* " indicates required fieldsIn September, Logitech announced a new headset for hybrid employees.The Zone Vibe 100 has a retail price of 120 euros.According to Logitech, employees can use the model for hours without discomfort for clear video conferences and phone calls.In recent weeks, Techzine has been put to the test.We tested the Zone Vibe 100 to determine whether the model meets expectations.To start with: the specifications.The microphone is foldable and the model runs on Bluetooth.The only cable is a USB-C charging cable.Beyond that, the Zone Vibe 100 works wirelessly.The headset lasts up to 20 hours on a full battery.Logitech designed the model for employees regularly working from home and video conferencing or calling.The manufacturer states that the headset can be used comfortably for hours, produces a clear voice and is user-friendly.In recent weeks, we tested the model to find out whether the statement is correct.We can now say with certainty that the Zone Vibe 100 is an excellent conferencing headset for its price category.External devices are connected in an instant.You press the side button, open a device's Bluetooth screen and select 'Zone Vibe 100'.The headset remembers multiple devices.In addition to a work laptop, employees can connect smartphones and other private devices.The microphone sound is fine.Do not expect studio quality, because you will not find that in this price segment.The highs of the microphone are clear.You can be heard clearly during video conferences and calls.One of the biggest pluses is the weight.The model weighs 185 grams.That is extremely light for a headset of this size.Due to the weight, it is easy to forget you have the headset on.The ear cushions are made of memory foam, a popular material for mattresses and bed pillows.As a result, the headphones hardly put any pressure on the head.Logitech claimed during the announcement that the model can be used for days without discomfort.That claim is right on target.Logitech is not the only manufacturer of comfortable headsets.Several competitors provide similar models, but the quality varies.The problem with comfortable headsets is that comfort can come at the expense of audio quality.If headphones exert little pressure on the head, this may mean that the ear cushions do not press sufficiently against the ears, so that the sound waves from the speakers do not arrive properly.If the headphones apply too much pressure, the sound waves arrive well, but it feels uncomfortable to have headphones on for hours.The trick is the right balance.Good headphones don't need to exert pressure to deliver sound quality.Every part plays a role, from the speakers and ear cushions to the headband and drivers.With the Zone Vibe 100, Logitech manages to achieve the right balance.The headband hardly puts any pressure on the head, but the ear cushions nevertheless fit well on the ears.The sound is surprisingly warm for headphones in this price segment.Like the microphone, the speakers do not deliver studio quality, but the audio is good enough for music and movies.The Zone Vibe 100 delivers on Logitech's promises.The weight and fit are excellent for employees who confer and work from home for extended periods of time.The retail price of 120 euros is not cheap, but you will find cheaper options in Logitech's partner channel.An additional advantage is that employees can use the headset after the working day.The audio quality is sufficient for music and movies.The model connects easily to private devices and lasts up to 20 hours on a full battery.Tip: Review: Sony WH-1000XM4, the best headphone now even betterWe would like to know where the IT challenges lie in your organization, so that we can respond better to them.We
