Logitech's 2nd Avnera-based headset hits in the form of G930, for gamers

Logitech has begun taking pre-orders for their new Wireless Gaming Headset. Based on Avnera's latest wireless headset chipset, and coupled with some cool innovations targeted at the PC gamer, these will prove to be immensely popular, as well as make a great follow-up to their omnipresent Clearchat PC Wireless set introduced a couple years ago.
It also marks the third company – Freetalk and Creative being the first and second, respectively – to launch a second wireless headset model based on Avnera's solution. A great validation for the product concept, and the underlying technology enabling it.
It's immensely gratifying for me, and I'm sure plenty of other early Avnerans, to see a new category of electronics mature based on the work of a startup company placing bets on an application all the way back in 2004. Sounds so long ago! This headset is based on the latest generation silicon from Avnera, and contains many new capabilities that make it more better.
Some of the nice features Logitech wrapped up into this US$159 piece include:
- Noise canceling mic with auto-mute
- Integrated charging cable, and charge-while using
- Some audio effects for virtual surround and voice morphing
- Programmable G-keys for mapping to specific game functions
- Laser tuned headphone drivers
- Memory foam headband
- 12-meter range
- Driver-less operation
Head over to Logitech's website for more pretty pictures and feature overviews, and pre-order one now.
