A good headset for its price but not at all perfect. The Logitech 250 offers great audio performance, but its flimsy frame is a downfall.
I needed a new Skype/general purpose/gaming headset, so I
thought I’d give the Logitech 250 a shot. Overall, this headset is a mixed
bag. With a little extra work, it would
be a great product.
The Logitech 250 is fairly comfortable. Its headband fits about right, so no
complaints there. The headphones are somewhat awkward, though. Rather than
sitting all the way around your ear, like most headphones with a thick layer of
cushioning do, they sit on top of it. This takes some getting used to. It’s not
uncomfortable per se; it just feels odd at first.
I was dismayed that Logitech didn’t include an inline volume
control. It should be standard to include one in any headset that cost over
$10. The plastic used on the headband and microphone joint seemed a little
flimsy. The headphones never broke while I was using them, but I felt like they
could have quite easily.
The biggest issue that arose from using the Logitech USB
Headset 250 was its annoying USB plug. I tested the headset on a couple
different computers, using different USB ports.
About 50% of the time I had to jiggle the plug to make sure it would
register a connection.
Audio performance was surprisingly good. I was impressed by
the clear range this headset had to offer, producing deep bass and nice highs.
The microphone quality was also good. The noise canceling mic actually removed
a lot of extraneous noise. That’s not to say it’s a miracle worker (you could
still hear my dogs in the background) but it handled wind and general white
noise rather well.
