Logitech expands product range catering for hybrid workers

Logitech has launched the Brio 500 webcam and Zone Vibe Wireless headphones to cater for the evolving needs of hybrid workers.

A recent study by the company revealed that nearly 90% of people working from home struggle with unflattering camera angles, poor lighting conditions and field-of-view limitations when using a built-in laptop camera. Logitech’s new webcams and headphones address the challenges users face when working from home, while enabling IT managers to equip their organisations’ remote and hybrid workforces in an environmentally sustainable way.

The Brio 500 webcam features a four megapixel camera and in-built sensors that adjust lighting and auto-frame the speaker. Show Mode allows home workers to easily display work on a desktop in full detail, facilitating real-time collaboration. Seamless video conferencing – through integration with Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Zoom – enables users to transition between calls across platforms. The webcam uses up to 68% post-consumer recycled plastic and is certified carbon neutral.

The Zone Vibe Wireless headphones offer advanced noise-cancelling, featuring a mic with beamforming technology that ensures background noise is eliminated. They provide immersive audio through 40mm speaker drivers with AAC codec, while the lightweight design and over-the-ear style with memory foam fabric make the headphones comfortable to wear for long periods. The Zone Vibe Wireless headphones are made with 25% post-consumer recycled plastic, certified carbon neutral and use FSC-certified responsible packaging.

Scott Wharton, general manager of Logitech video collaboration, said: “Many remote and hybrid workers are still underequipped and grappling with pre-pandemic era solutions. Our innovative new genre of Brio webcams and Zone Vibe headphones answers the call of modern workers who need business-grade quality, style and affordability for work and play. Transformational features like Brio’s Show Mode open up new sharing opportunities for teachers, designers and architects to easily present physical objects notes, and sketches remotely over video.”
