Headphones / Headsets / Microphones

Hello, I bought the H800 headset a few months ago, and everyhing was going fine. However, I have recently realized that the USB charger cable for my headset is lost, so I currently cannot use my headset since it is currently out of battery.

Do you know I can purchase a USB charger cable for the H800? Thank you

The H600 headset uses a standard micro USB cable. My guess is that the H800 will do too.

While the cable that came with the device might not do everything with all USB devices, I have found that any micro USB, of the sort increasingly used with mobile phones, will charge things like headphones and keyboards.

So you're pretty sure that the H600 USB charging cable will work on the H800?

Yes. But that's not the point.

ANY micro USB cable should work with both headsets.

Take your headset down to the nearest computer store. Get them to dig out a micro-USB cable. (You'll see 00s of them on Amazon.) I'd lay money on it working.

I'm sure you have USB cables for all sorts of things. This is just a relatively new "other end" for the thing that plugs into your PC.

For reasons know only to itself, Logitech does not say that it uses a standard cable. Madness. And you probably won't get a straight official answer here.

Maybe they don't give a straight answer because the cable they supply is crippled. It will charge the headset, but it will not act as a data cable for USB devices. Another daft idea.

I have a bunch of micro-USB cables, bought for various devices. If I want my mobile phone, for example, to work properly, I have to be careful not to use the rubbish that Logitech provides.

It is a good move to lose the cable that comes with the headset and to replace it with a proper cable that you can use for anything that comes along.
