Zone Wireless Review: Logitech has a good hands-free for teleworking || Tech Review Pro

Definitely, in the days of COVID19, you have to have all the possible tools at hand to be able to carry out teleworking most easily and suitably possible.

As we said previously in another note, before making a free dive in the world of teleworking, you must have a device (s) from which it is possible to produce one or more stable and reliable internet providers ( It could be the fixed internet and the backup through the mobile data service) that allows you to connect to the world during business hours (yes, reader, you need time so that, even from home, there is a balance between work and family).



When talking about connecting with the outside world, it is very important to keep in mind that, as many says: "We now have more teleconferences than at any point in the past." For this reason, it is essential to have the comfort of a good “hands-free” or “headset” such as the Logitech Zone Wireless, which, although not perfect, has several “fine coquettish details” that make it worth keeping in mind. counts at the time of preparing the tools for a video conference.

Since many of us have exchanged the peace of the office for the somewhat unknown terrain of the home, where the wife, children, and other family members tend to appear unexpectedly, breaking that distance that previously existed between the corporate terrain and personal. For the same reason, it is good to have at hand the way to silence the call so that colleagues do not hear anything embarrassing or that they simply do not know.
