Logitech - Zone Vibe 125 Wireless Over-the-Ear Headphones with Noise-Canceling Microphone - Graphite

Great Sound and great fit, very comfortable. We have older computers without Bluetooth, so USB is a life saver.

I really like this headset. I use this mainly for work, and was concerned at first as I didn't know if all the features would work on a Linux computer, but was relieved that everything works out of the box. I also like the audio queues when powering on/off as well as muting the mic.

Good comfort. Good acoustics. I like the option of using bluetooth instead of having to rely on the usb so that I can use with my phone.

I purchased as a temporary replacement for my poly4310 someone somewhere may love these headphones but me on the other hand will say i was completely disappointed! For the price point i feel they should have been better but no. ... i wfh so ANC IS A MUST! the sound quality was bad the fit on the head was bad the mic was ok i could be heard but they could also hear me BLINK...BATTERY LIFE NOT GOOD and the fact the cut off it seemed about every 20 min may be good for some but not for me

Just what I needed for my class….perfect sound, fit, and great great price

I just picked up this set of Logitech Zone Vibe 125 wireless over-ear headphones to use mainly while I am at work. So far, they have been a nice upgrade. Work for me is both at home and in the office, and these headphones have helped tremendously while in meetings and keeping me focused for the day. While in meetings, this headset is very clear with the highs and mid tones, and it seems to cut out most of if not all the low bass tones when people are speaking. I believe this gives clearer hearing to what is being said, I have noticed Logitech did this with their wired on the ear Zone 750 headset as well. The meetings sound nice. For keeping me focused during my workday, I like to put on a lofi-hip hop playlist and get into the day’s work rhythm and groove. When listening to music, the bass comes back and these headphones hit all the notes and tones from the highest highs to the lowest lows, these things thump! Great music listening experience! So, the sound is amazing, but what else is there to like about these headphones? There is so much to love here and lately Logitech has been dominating the computer peripherals space. For this set of Zone Vibe 125 headphones, they are lightweight and feel natural when sitting over your ears. I love how lightweight they are because sometimes I have to wear them for hours at a time. The headphones appear to be mainly built out of plastic that is light but feels very durable, durable enough to where I stick these in the carrying pouch and throw them in my computer backpack without worry of them breaking. The over the ear cups are great and reduce ear agitation and sweat. The ear cups fit so well it adds to the immersion of sound when listening to music. The fabric the ear cups are covered with is very soft as well as the foam underneath. The foam forms to the head nicely and the fabric feels nice to the touch. The adjustability of these headphones is so smooth yet precise, the fit is great, and it has a wide range of motion to fit anyone’s size cranium. I love the boom mic; it has noise canceling technology where the listeners won’t hear what’s going on around you, just your voice. This feature is great for busy office days or working from home with kids. The mic is easy to pull down and put away and I also love how you can flip it up to mute yourself in a meeting. There is a woman’s voice who confirms with you that the headset is muted or not by saying “mute off” or “mute on'' she has a soothing voice and it's perfectly executed to where you acknowledge the message but it's not annoying. She also speaks right when you turn the device on and gives you the battery status and how the headphones are connected, for instance she says “93% battery left, Bluetooth connected, dongle connected” and it's great. I do like the helpful voice, and it helps to know if you need to charge the headphones up. I love how I can use the dongle on my work computer and connect to my phone via Bluetooth and the headphones can swap between the two devices flawlessly. I love the modern minimalistic look to these headphones. They are perfectly stylish for the office, the train commute, the grocery store, or anywhere else you want to wear them and will match any outfit. Pros: -Easy setup, takes just seconds -The noise canceling mic works like a dream. Especially if you have kids or loud coworkers in the background. -Dual mic with noise-canceling technology is designed to suppress background sounds so others can hear you clearly -The option to use USB-C or a regular USB-A -Seamlessly switches between computer and smartphone via Bluetooth or USB-A/USB-C -Soft carrying pouch is perfect to protect the headset and keep it debris free -Sound quality is great for both listening and the receiving end on calls/meetings -Generous 40 mm drivers deliver deep bass and crisp high notes with low distortion -Music sounds great, nice range from lows to highs -All buttons are on ear cups and are easily accessible when wearing -Microsoft Teams compatible device -18 hours of talk time, 20 hours of listening time -VERY comfortable to wear for hours Cons: -I am sitting here trying to think of one. Now I am reaching because I feel like I need to put something down. I feel like the power button could be just ever so slightly taller, so it is easier to find when the headphones are on. And that’s it for cons… I just love these things. In all, I am very happy I picked up the Logitech Zone Vibe 125 Wireless over-ear headphones. These headphones have made my day at work much more pleasant. I have a lot of meetings and occasional phone calls to take, and this headset makes it feel more natural and is easier to manage. If you have meetings or phone calls either in the office or if you work from home, I recommend this product. My coworkers were ogling my new headset and they are probably going to also pick up a pair for themselves.

The Logitech Zone Vibe 125 come well packaged. You receive the headphones, USB-C cable, USB-C to USB-A adapter, USB transmitter, a cloth storage bag and warranty/safety information. My headphones came 70% charged. So, they are ready to go out of the box. The Zone Vibe 125 support connecting via Bluetooth or an USB transmitter. I tried using each and the connection was as expected for each. The range from the device (Bluetooth or USB transmitter) is good before you start to lose connection. I found no issues with my connection 50ft away. The range is documented as 30m. I was not successful at connecting to two devices at the same time. I tried my laptop using the USB transmitter and my phone using Bluetooth. Although it appears I am connected, I cannot get audio from each device at the same time. I tried connecting to both using Bluetooth as well with no success. Although they show as being connected, there is no audio from one of them. I have had 2 simultaneous Bluetooth connections at the same time with other headphones. They are much more expensive headphones though. The sound quality is very nice! I found it balances as not being too bass heavy or highs heavy with the 40mm speaker drivers. I primarily use these for work. The audio is great using these during meetings. You can mute yourself by using the Flip-To-Mute microphone. This handy feature works great and is very useful! You will hear the announcement of “Mute On” and Mute Off” as you flip the microphone up (mute) or down (mute off). The Zone Vibe 125 have noise cancelling technology. This is not noise cancelling for what you hear through the speakers. It is a noise cancelling microphone, so others do not hear noise from your background. I often play music in the background when working. I can still hear the music through the speakers faintly. People on the call cannot hear the music through the microphone. This feature works very well! The Zone Vibe 125 are very comfortable and light weight. These weigh only 185 grams which is very light! The ear cups are large enough to fit over my ears. They are comfortable enough to wear al day. The Zone Vibe 125 have an advertised 18 hours of talk time and 20 hours of listening time. After a day’s worth of use, I found about 30% of the battery was consumed. So, the advertised and real-life experience seem to be in sync. Overall, I rate the Logitech Zone Vibe 125 4 out of 5 stars. They are light and comfortable. The battery lasts a long time. Sound quality and the noise cancelling feature are excellent. The Flip-To-Mute microphone is very convenient. However, I prefer to connect to my laptop and cellphone at the same time. I deducted one star as this was not possible even though it appeared they are connected to both. If this feature does not matter to you, then these would be 5 out of 5 stars.

Make no mistake, the Zone Vibe 125 are not gaming-tuned or audiophile-caliber headphones that happen to also support voice or conference-style calling, but they fit perfectly into an all-day office or work-at-home environment and can more than hold their own when music or videos enter the picture. During my time with them, only a few minor niggles kept them from being elevated into truly outstanding territory, but my concerns are minor and may not be the case for everyone. At their current price, they do have a LOT of competition—some of which easily sound just a tad better for the bass-heads, gamers, or high-rez audio snobs out there--but they are solid enough contenders that they should be on your short list as a good wireless all-arounder, especially for use in the workplace where a decidedly gamer-oriented aesthetic is a non-starter. CONSTRUCTION/COMFORT: Part of the allure of this headset is the ultra-light construction that should make for easy all-day wearing—for me, it turned out to be a bit of mixed bag. The plastic shell/body has a pleasant satin-matte finish all around, but frankly the plastic itself feels a bit lightweight and thin—so long as you don’t throw these headphones around or toss them onto chairs or tables when you’re done, they will likely hold up, but overall durability is kind of up-in-the-air at the moment. The earpads feature soft foam with a stretchy mesh, jersey-like fabric covering to help reduce heat-build-up. The shape of the pads themselves match the anatomy of the ear and the earcups themselves are angled inward slightly to assist with getting a good seal, but the earpad openings are fairly small. Despite their over-the-ear design, these are really more like semi-on-ear headphones, though fortunately the pads are soft enough that I don’t think many will notice any pain on the outer folds of the ear. The headband is covered with the same stretchy mesh fabric as the earpads; but it is not padded—personally, I could feel the plastic rails and slats of the headband’s construction against the top of my head which led to some fatigue after a few hours of use. The fabric covering also does not feel particularly durable; at the very least, if you set your headphones down a lot, I would be wary of keys, pens, pencils, paperclips, etc., as I would imagine pinhole snags are going to be quite easy to come by. The curvature of the headband is also fairly extreme; despite their featherlight profile and the super-comfy earpads, I found inward clamping pressure was a bit high which led to some discomfort along the leading edge of one of the earpads which required some adjustment every hour or so. Note if you have a slightly smaller head than me, or are not as sensitive to such issues, you might not notice any of these issues yourself, especially given how light the headset is overall. The lift-to-mute boom mic integrates neatly into a slot in the left earcup when not in use, but when deployed, it sits WAY out to the side of your mouth; there is no option to bend the boom forward or make further vertical adjustments for the placement of the microphone. In practice, this actually works out well because it means you’ll never take a microphone in the eye when you flip the boom up and out of the way but forgot that you bent the mic forward towards your mouth. The headphones themselves do not fold up and the earcups do not rotate flat for easy storage; fortunately, Logitech thoughtfully included a cloth drawstring bag to offer some protection and help keep everything together when not in use—there’s even a small interior pocket for the dongle and USB-C adapter; nice! Logitech also includes a USB-C charging cable in the box. The earcups have very limited pivot and tilt in the earcups before the headband starts to twist, but vertical sizing is accomplished through glide-rails at either end of the headband—they allow the earcups to move smoothly up and down through nearly 2” of travel. There is no click-to-lock sizing mechanism on the glide-rails however so you have to resize it by feel every time they shift slightly from donning/doffing; I also have to wonder how long that system will hold the earcups in place before it starts to work its way loose during regular use…time will tell. USE/PERFORMANCE: The Zone Vibe 125 can handle simultaneous connections to a BT and PC source using the included USB dongle. BT pairing was lightning quick and my Windows 11 machine recognized the dongle immediately without any additional software installation--the headset comes pre-paired to the dongle in the box so I was using the headset on my PC inside of 10 seconds. To unlock all of the headset’s more advanced features, you do need to install the LogiTune app--thankfully, this is one app that does NOT require yet another login and password just to operate. I had no problem with LogiTune on my PC, but the iOS version of the app refused to find the headset even though I was already connected to my iPhone 12 via Bluetooth and listening to music/making calls (based on reviews in the App Store, this is not an isolated occurrence for this particular headphone at this time). At least on my PC, the app allowed me to adjust mic sidetone, set mic volume, and activate one of five sound profiles on the 5-band EQ (flat, all boost, podcast, bass boost, and a custom EQ setting). LogiTune also allows you to adjust the auto-sleep timer for battery conservation or always-on (5 minutes to 4 hours, or never sleep), set the flip-to-mute feature of the boom mic on/off, turn voice-prompts on/off, change the headset language (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese are supported), and run any firmware updates (mine required an update to the headset and dongle upon initial use). Usability is mostly top-notch as Logitech thoughtfully made the onboard physical controls differently shaped so it is easy to operate the headset in the blind. Voice calling features (i.e., answer/reject) are controlled by a button on the back of the left earcup, volume controls use a long rocker switch a bit further down the side, and the power/BT control is a small slider switch at the bottom of the earcup. Play/pause (and Forward Skip when pressed twice) is activated using a button on the back of the right earcup…sadly, there is no button combination to skip backwards when listening to music ☹ In addition to the flip-to-mute microphone boom, there is also a mute button on the boom itself if you simply want to leave the microphone deployed all the time. VERY helpful spoken voice prompts offer informative status updates (Power on/off, percentage battery left, dongle connected, Bluetooth connected, etc.), while a status LED at the bottom of the left earcup offers additional status indicators (low battery, charge activity, active/incoming call, BT connectivity, etc.); however, that status information relies on a combination of red and white blinking, solid, and breathing illumination patterns that isn’t quite as self-evident. In use, the Zone Vibe 125 turns in pretty compelling audio performance. BT bandwidth was reported on my iPhone 12 up to 24bit/48Khz; strangely, the USB dongle connection maxed out at 16bit/48Khz (which is still very good, clocking in at about DVD-quality audio resolution). The headset is very mid-friendly, which was fine for me because that is where most music and vocals live. Highs were clear and non-fatiguing but aren’t necessarily what I would call super-revealing. Bass was clean and very engaging without being overbearing, but it lacked just a tad bit of OOMPH in the very lowest registers that bass-heads and those wanting some serious heft to their gaming explosions or punches might miss. Using LogiTune's bass boost or all-frequency boost EQ settings added a bit more body down low, but the deepest kick drums and explosive sound effects still fell *just a tad* short from what I’ve heard from other more capable headsets. Again, however, these are styled and billed as work-oriented headphones, so the fact that they offer a very enjoyable level of musicality and a very engaging soundstage overall definitely increases their value proposition as a do-it-all headphone that doesn’t get you sideways looks from your coworkers. Finally, voice quality was wonderful—far better than I expected given how far out to the side the flip-down boom deploys the microphone. I spent several hours on BT calls and Zoom meetings using this headset and vocal quality was described as everything from “great” to “really, REALLY clear.” Logitech claims that the mic offers noise-cancelling capabilities—I found that to be true to some extent. Callers at the other end of the line reported that they could not easily make out fans, air conditioning blowers, or droning PC noises that were in close proximity to me, but the mic did not drown out any impulse noise like keyboard clicks, rustling papers, or nearby conversations. Similarly, the lightweight design and mesh earpads didn’t do much for passive noise isolation on my end—if you have a particularly noisy environment you need to tame while you work/concentrate, you may want to look for a headset with active noise cancelling instead. Overall, however, I was surprised at how well the Zone Vibe 125 sounded and performed. Yes, you can absolutely find headsets that SOUND better even at this price point, but you would be hard-pressed to find so many features together in one wireless headset that works so well in settings suited to both work and play at the same time. I suspect my fitment and comfort issues are not going to be common for most people, and so long as you don’t purposefully abuse them, the thin fabric coverings and other lighter-weight materials may hold up reasonably well over time. At the very least, you should give these headphones a closer look if you’re in the market for a work-oriented headset you’d also like to have some fun with…
