Logitech today announced it will preview two new wireless stereo headsets for mobile phones at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show. Each of these headsets allows people to both listen to digital stereo music and conduct phone calls on mobile music phones. The stylish Logitech Mobile Stereo Headset HS 200 and HS 210 models make it easy, with the push of a button, to switch from enjoying a favorite song to participating in a conference call.

A leading manufacturer of high-performance audio products and mobile headsets, Logitech designed the new headsets specifically for the next-generation of music phones that feature Bluetooth wireless technology with the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile. A2DP is an emerging standard for high-quality wireless stereo sound. The wireless technology helps free people from being tethered to their phones, while the headsets' integrated controls allow people to answer calls, to control their music, or to switch between modes -- without ever touching their phone.

"As telephony and entertainment converge on the mobile phone platform, people need one headset that gives them the flexibility to listen to their music, games or videos in stereo, and also make and take telephone calls," said Jef Holove, director of product marketing, for Logitech's Entertainment and Communications Business Unit. "To deliver that flexibility, these new headsets combine the very best of Logitech's wireless and audio technologies. They provide excellent stereo sound and extremely clear phone calls, even in windy conditions. And without the cords, people can leave the phone in a pocket, a bag, or on the desk, and still listen and talk."

Logitech's new headsets include patent-pending Logitech WindStop technology for calls in windy conditions. Logitech WindStop microphones are surrounded by a sintered plastic material that serves as a barrier to disruptive air currents. Voice signals are able to penetrate the material, enabling clear conversations even outdoors on a windy day, or in a car with the windows open.
