Press Release: Logitech today introduced two new product lines: the Brio 500 webcam and the Zone Vibe headset, designed to meet the needs of hybrid work. A recent study found that more than 89% of adults working from home experience unflattering camera angles, poor lighting conditions and restricted field of view when using their laptop's built-in camera.* The Brio 500 webcam and Zone Vibe headset help overcome the challenges employees face while working from home, while also modernizing work and play experiences. Accessories make it easier for IT managers to equip the organization's remote and hybrid workplaces in an environmentally and sustainable way.
"Many employees who are working remotely or in part are still underequipped and struggling with pre-pandemic challenges," said Scott Wharton, CEO of Logitech Video Collaboration. “Our innovative new Brio webcam and Zone Vibe headphones answer the call of employees who need premium quality, style and affordability for work and play. Transformative features like Brio's Show Mode open up new sharing options for teachers, designers and architects to easily present physical objects, notes and sketches remotely via video.
Brio 500 Webcams
The Brio 500 is built for those who want premium audio and video quality, personalization and a more engaging video calling experience. The series is a new class of webcam that addresses the most common video conferencing challenges. The Brio 500 introduces Show Mode, which makes it easy to share sketches or other physical objects on the table. With an innovative mounting system and a built-in sensor that allows users to tilt the camera down to focus on subjects, Brio automatically flips the image to provide the correct side of the subject for video calls.
Stylish design and fashionable colors - graphite, light gray and pink - give individuals the freedom to customize the conference room to suit their personality and taste. RightSight technology (activated via Logi Tune) automatically frames the user even as they move, while built-in innovations such as RightLight 4 automatically correct for non-standard lighting.
Zone Vibe headphones
The new Zone Vibe headphones from Logitech are the first wireless headphones on the market that combine professionalism with comfort, style and affordability. Also available in graphite, light gray and pink, they are designed to be comfortable to wear all day and collaborate with colleagues. Weighing just 185 grams, these lightweight over-ear headphones feature soft-touch knit fabric and memory foam.

IT management
For IT teams equipping staff meeting rooms and home offices, the Brio range is plug-and-play, compatible with most video conferencing platforms and certified for Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Zoom. Logitech Sync integration with the Brio 505 allows IT managers to update firmware and troubleshoot so hybrid teams can collaborate without losing anything.
Zone Vibe Wireless presents an opportunity to offer employees full and rich sound. Plus, they look stylish and suit different types of users, so you don't have to trade "look good" for "sound good" anymore. And with compatibility with video conferencing platforms and the ability to send updates via Logi Tune and Logitech Sync, IT has fewer issues and help desk requests to manage.
Logitech's new webcams and headsets help employees thrive in today's hybrid era—professional enough for the office, perfect for working from home, while making it easier for IT teams to help users perform at their best and do right by the planet.
