Logitech today unveiled an affordable Bluetooth mobile phone headset, the Logitech Mobile Freedom Headset. This new headset features a unique, lightweight design, the latest Bluetooth 1.2 chipset, which includes Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) technology to reduce problematic Wi-Fi interference. The Logitech Mobile Freedom Headset is the first of two mobile Bluetooth headsets to be introduced by Logitech this fall.

The Mobile Freedom Headset is lightweight, weighing less than 1 ounce, and easily fits on either ear. But, the most exceptional feature of this headset is its patent-pending WindStop technology.

Wind noise is a major problem for mobile phones — even a car´s air conditioning fan can cause wind interference. So, Logitech developed WindStop — an innovation that surrounds the microphone in an "acoustical controlled porosity barrier" to reduce the disruptive effects of wind noise, enabling clear conversations in adverse conditions.

The Logitech Mobile Freedom Headset offers seven hours of continuous talk time and up to 300 hours of standby time. The product includes a call/answer button located directly on the headset. The Logitech Mobile Freedom Headset also supports several features built into many handsets, such as voice dialing, three-way calling, and mute.

Along with the Logitech Mobile Freedom Headset, Logitech will release another Bluetooth headset this fall, the Logitech  Mobile Pro Headset. The Logitech Mobile Pro Headset includes Bluetooth 1.2 technology for faster connect time, improved quality of sound, and AFH (Adaptive Frequency Hopping) for less interference from other 2.4 GHz systems such as Wi-Fi. The headset offers 30 feet of cordless freedom, up to eight hours of continuous talk time and more than three weeks of standby time.
