Native Bluetooth – Seamless calling experience without a receiver
Features like mute sync and integrated call controls require a high level of control over the connection between the headset and the computer. Traditionally, that level of control was only possible with a wired connection or a wireless connection via a USB dongle. The dongle enables richer data exchange between the headset and computer, allowing all the functionality while ensuring a reliable audio connection, even in a congested wireless environment.
Yet, for all the advantages a receiver provides, it also includes some downsides. The biggest one is probably that dongles are often lost or left behind, creating unnecessary IT tickets. Limited USB ports can also lead to a struggle among your favorite accessories, diminishing the overall experience. Quality technology shouldn’t be compromised, and here’s the solution.
Native Bluetooth aims to deliver the full functionality of a USB dongle over a pure Bluetooth connection—no dongle, no extra software required. Logitech has partnered with calling platforms like Zoom to go through comprehensive third-party independent testing to bring native Bluetooth certification to our wireless business headsets.
Now, you can reclaim your USB ports while retaining convenient call controls on your headset via just a Bluetooth connection, such as hanging up calls by pressing the call button, or keeping mute status in sync with Zoom simply by flipping the mic boom up/down.
With Logitech’s native Bluetooth support, you can now enjoy effortless connectivity and intuitive call management for Zoom Meetings without the need for a dongle. It’s a simple, effective solution that frees up your USB ports and streamlines your workflow.
