San Jose, Ca. -  Logitech has just unveiled the company's first wireless stereo headset designed for Internet calling with a PC: the Logitech ClearChat PC Wireless headset.

It combines high-performance stereo audio with 2.4 GHz wireless technology, allowing users to move around when they make VoIP calls -- no wires attached.

The Logitech ClearChat PC Wireless enables people to move freely up to 33 feet (10 meters) from their computer.

With the included USB transmitter, the headset effortlessly connects to a PC or Mac computer right out of the box -- no software or pairing required.

Additionally, volume and microphone mute controls are located on the right earpiece and the microphone automatically mutes when rotated to an upright position. As an added convenience, the microphone emits a soft, red glow when muted.

The Logitech ClearChat PC Wireless headset is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in May for $99.99. To learn more, go to www.logitech.com.
