Introduction

If you have a Logitech® headset you can connect it to the Bluetooth® wireless hub provided with your Logitech product.
Chat to friends over the Internet using instant messaging. Relax while you listen to your favorite music. Keep up to date with streaming news. All without the constraints of wires.
Connecting a Logitech headset to your Logitech wireless hub means that you can move around while you listen and talk as long as you stay within range – typically up to 30 feet or 10 meters depending on your surroundings. What’s more, solid objects won’t cause a problem because there does not need to be a line-of-sight connection between the headset and Logitech wireless hub.
In short, connecting a Logitech headset to your Logitech wireless hub gives you more freedom.
Welcome to the expanding world of cordless freedom offered through your Logitech wireless hub.
