After having already graced the peripheral market with a wireless illuminated keybaord, peripheral maker Logitech is now trying to cater to the needs of those that have little liking for cables but hold quality headgear in high regard, by unveiling the Wireless Headset H760.

The issue with wireless peripherals is that they are always faced with the prospect of running out of battery power.

While this may prove, at times, aggravating in case of keyboards and mice, since no one likes their items dying in the middle of a virtual firefight, it is less of a critical problem for other devices.

Logitech recently released the Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800, which still manages to live for up to 10 hours, even though it has backlighting to siphon power out of the battery.

Now, the company has decided to further expand its cable-less collection with the addition of the Wireless headset H760.

This new electronic device is not meant for gaming, instead being aimed at those that frequently engage in activities that prevent them from standing still or seated in a chair.

Thus, the transmitter embedded into the headset can maintain the link to the PC over a distance of up to 12 meters.

What's more, it uses an over-the-head design and boasts sculpted, pivoting ear pads, so that the necessary degree of comfort is assured.

Logitech even managed to squeeze in a battery life of up to six hours, and this should be longer than the time it takes for most conversations to finish.

The Logitech Wireless Headset H760 asks for $100 in return for making conversations more convenient. Unfortunately, it is not yet available, being set to start shipping in the US and Asia later this month.

Finally, Europe is expected to receive its own batch of by September, so end-users won't have to wait overly long.
