When it comes to online gaming — especially when playing shooters like Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Fortnite, and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds — the impact of audio should not be underestimated. These types of games require you to react quickly with precision in order to stand a chance.
With the announcement of four new gaming headsets, Logitech aims to have an option to suit the needs of most gamers. All of its new offerings are a part of the company’s G line-up, which (unsurprisingly) is focused on gaming. Two of the new headsets feature Logitech’s LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting, a perk that synchronizes illumination with its similarly spec’d gear.
Ever since consumers began cutting the cord, companies have been scrambling to come up with all kinds of devices that make it simple to stream content on your TV. Roku is one of the most popular, offering a range of devices like its Express, Streaming Stick, Ultra, and more recently TVs with Roku built-in. Building TVs with smart technology is something that is not new though, considering that companies like Samsung, Sony, and LG have been doing it for quite some time. These companies typically use their own proprietary software which can quite often lead to a frustrating user experience due to a lack of polish that makes navigation feel far from simple. With Logitech’s upcoming K600 TV Keyboard, the company aims to provide consumers with a better user experience.
Logitech has unveiled its latest high-end mouse, the MX Vertical. As the first vertical mouse in the company’s lineup, Logitech it touting less muscle strain with improved ergonomics, less hand movement with advanced optical tracking, and more.
Logitech has today announced its RGB venture into a more immersive desktop gaming environment. The new G560 PC Gaming Speakers are the company’s first with LIGHTSYNC technology. The software works with the satellite speaker’s RGB lighting syncs your music, movies, and games to create a more immersive experience.

The new Apple TV is now available for pre-orders with the first units set to ship on Friday. Apple has introduced a number of features to its new streaming device, including an App Store, a fresh remote with Siri built-in, universal search and support for MFi gaming controllers.

One of the struggles of working away from an office or desk is finding a suitable option for a mouse. There are plenty of wireless solutions out there but they often struggle to meet the needs of professionals for a variety of reasons.
Today, Logitech has announced a new portable wireless mouse that takes its design cues from the popular Master MX. Head below for full details on the new Logitech MX Anywhere 2 Wireless Mouse.
It has a rechargeable battery that can run for up to 10 hours and a 50-foot Bluetooth range. Using the Mini Boom app you can sync up two of them for an even bigger sound. It has a 4.4/5 star rating from over 1,000 Amazon customers.

One of the best deals we found using this promo is the Logitech UE Megaboom for $209.99 (Reg. $300). For some reason the checkout page shows free shipping, but then $5.99 is tacked on at the end.

Here’s a clip from our review to help you get acquainted with it:
But if you want the banging-est sound you can find from a portable Bluetooth speaker, your search is over. I’ve secretly been reviewing a unit since last year and it is all true. The sound fills up a room, day at the beach, picnic, bikeride or destroys a car. It even works as a nice desk speaker.

It regularly sells for $50, but we’ve seen it drop to $40 before and even $30 once, but that sale required pickup at an Office Depot store and sold out within hours. Since then, there haven’t been any deals to speak…
Logitech is introducing its next generation Daedalus Apex gaming mouse this week. The new G303 is a higher spec version than its predecessor and is apparently the direct product of gamer feedback with a new focus on both e-sports gamers and enthusiasts alike.
Head below for more details and an introductory video on what the new G303 can do:

The K480 will become the centerpiece of your gadget world. Use the Easy Switch dial to quickly cycle between three different Bluetooth devices (iPad, iPhone, Mac?). The keyboard also doubles as a stand for your iPhone, iPad and other mobile gadgets. Rated 4.3 out of 5 stars from over 100 Amazon reviewers.
Logitech is the go-to brand for most gamers when it comes to headsets, keyboards, mice, and other peripherals. They are well-rated and stylish, but the only problem is they don’t come cheap. However, we’ve noticed that Amazon has started to discount a wide variety of Logitech accessories. Not all are gaming related, but most are.
There are 2 problems with the current state of iPad stand/cases out there according to Logitech. 1: They don’t always match the sleek and slim style of the iPad, and 2: You typically get only 2-3 viewing options from them.
The Logitech AnyAngle, unlike current cases, uses a hidden magnet and hinge system that’s strong enough to hold your iPad at any angle. The case also looks pretty sleek and comes in six different colors.
The Logitech AnyAngle joins Logitech’s lineup of protective cases – including the Logitech Big Bang and the Logitech Hinge, both of which are now compatible with the iPad Air 2. The Logitech AnyAngle is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in November 2014 for a suggested retail price of $59.99.
The overhauled design of iPhone 6 has slowed third party accessory makers to a crawl. We’ve seen a variety of docks and ultra-thin cases from smaller outfits, but name-brand companies are taking an exceptionally long time to bring iPhone 6/Plus accessories to market.
The Protection+ case is Logitech’s first official iPhone 6 case…
1. The whole internal structure has changed to optimize the type of sound the Ultimate Ears group wanted to provide.
2. It is both louder and crisper at higher volumes as well. It is another class…to quote Spinal Tap, they’ve gone to 11 and further. As you can see in the video – the sound of the Boom at 1/3 is what the Box didn’t hit until 2/3rd of the way.
3. It has the same pairing capabilities as the more expensive, full sized Ultimate Ears Boom speaker (see video) to make stereo sound and improve the volume some more. Left/Right sound separation are a big deal here.
4. The Bluetooth range has now increased up to 50 feet from 33 which is a result of improved antenna design and power. Interesting note: The second speaker can be even further because it pairs with the first speaker, not the phone.
The UE Boom lets you pair two devices at once (the speaker remembers the last eight connected devices). You can stream music wirelessly via Bluetooth from up to 50 feet away with a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 10 hours.
Logitech is extending the lineup of smartphone cases it launched earlier this year with the new protection [+] power for iPhone 5/5s and Samsung Galaxy S5. Just like the name suggests, the new cases are designed to not only offer additional juice on-the-go, but seamless integration into Logitech’s other smartphone accessories and military-grade damage protection.
Head below for more details, availability and pricing:
Today, Logitech announced the newest member of its M series mouse lineup. The new M320 comes with Logitech’s Advanced Optical Sensor for updated responsiveness, an ergonomic design “to guide your hand to a natural position” and a brand new look.
The keyboard from Logitech features built-in Bluetooth and full-size keys and iOS shortcuts for fast, fluid typing. The cover and iPad stay perfectly aligned and securely closed when you are on the go with magnetic clasps. Also, a magnetic groove holds the iPad upright at the ideal angle for typing and interacting with the touch screen. The Logitech automatically wakes your iPad when you open the cover and puts it to sleep when closed.
Released just a few months ago, its illuminated keys make it easy to control wireless TV-connected Mac/PC or other USB-enabled TV/Media center wirelessly in darkened rooms. Other features include a built-in microUSB rechargeable battery, integrated touchpad, and customizable software. Rated 3.9 out of 5 stars.
Satechi has released a pair of new wireless keyboards with support for up to five different Bluetooth devices. This California-based company went along with traditional stereotypes and made the Mac/iOS version silver with white keys and the PC/Android version black with black keys.
Either keyboard can technically be used with any device that supports Bluetooth keyboards, but you’ll want to pair them up with the types of devices they were intended for to take advantage of the OS-specific keys. For example, the Mac/iOS version features lock button, home button, and spotlight search keys for iDevices.
At just 0.7-inches thick, it is pretty much the same size as the standard Apple keyboard. But the Satechi’s killer feature is the ability to be synced with up to five unique Bluetooth accessories at any given time. That means you can seamlessly go from typing on your Mac to your iPad, to your iPhone, to your Apple TV, to your — never mind, I’m sure you get the idea. I have the Logitech K811 backlit keyboard and although it only syncs with three devices, I find this feature absolutely invaluable after using it for a few short months.
This same coupon code will also drop the Logitech M185 wireless mouse down to $5.99 (orig. $25 new), the G100s wired gaming mouse down to $14.99 (orig. $40 new), and the G930 USB gaming headset down to $53.99 (orig. $100 new). All of these items are refurbished and include a 90-day warranty.
Omaker sent us a review unit this week and it works darn well for a $16 speaker.
Their words:
It has a metallic finish with simple design. It features Bluetooth 3.0+EDR and it’s “unique and compact ostrich egg fashion appearance slips easily into your bag for use on the go.” It’s high definition and surprising fullness realized through a 4W driver and bass port – outclassing other similar-sized portable speakers. Built-in big capacity Polymer Lithium Batteries allow for a playback time of up to 8 hours.
Ours:
Is it going to give something like Logitech’s Boom line a run for its money? No, not at all. But it is pretty nice and a nice accessory for a mobile device. It pairs easily and it actually says in broken english “MOMI IS WAITING FOR YOUR CONNECTION” and then confirms your connection. Then when you lose connection, more broken English.
It sounds a little bit better than the speakers on a MacBook Pro and yet it can fit in your pocket and make speakerphone calls very nicely though we heard an echo in our testing). It has lasted over 5 hours in our brief testing.
It received 4.6/5 stars and great reviews from Amazon customers. We’re in agreement. If you need a speaker and have $16 to spend, then go for it!
