Logitech today unveiled its latest Brio 500 webcam and Zone Vibe headset, targeting the large workforce still stuck at home using Zoom and Teams.
BE YOUR BEST SELF IN EVERY VIDEO CALL | Brio 500
Logitech, maker of some of the best webcams you can buy, hopes these sleek productivity tools will meet the needs of hybrid and home-based workers. One of the Brio 500’s features is taken right out of the Apple playbook, with the ability to point down and display your desk.
“Many remote and hybrid workers are still underequipped and struggling with pre-pandemic solutions,” said Logitech Video Collaboration CEO Scott Wharton during the launch.
He highlighted some of the new features built into the Brio 500 webcam, such as auto framing and auto lighting. The Logitech Brio 500 webcam has another trick up its sleeve: it can record objects on the table and automatically rotate the image, so your viewers see the whole picture.

This is like Apple’s new Desk View, which the Cupertino, California-based company showed off at WWDC 2022 in June. Desk View lets you use your iPhone as a webcam and can record objects on your desk for your video call. However, there is one huge difference: the Desk View does this by clicking a setting, while the Brio 500 needs to be manually pointed down at your desk.
The Brio 500 webcams feature what Logitech calls “Right Sight” technology, which keeps you in the frame even while you’re moving. It also has Right Light 4, which automatically adjusts image brightness to compensate for poor lighting in your environment.

Zone Vibe wireless headphones are designed for longer wear. Logitech claims they offer “business-grade” performance while being comfortable thanks to memory foam covered with a soft knit mesh.
Weighing only 6.5 ounces, there are three versions of the Zone Vibe headphones: the Zone Vibe 100, which has a built-in Bluetooth receiver; The Zone Vibe 125, which comes with a Bluetooth USB-A receiver you need to plug in, and the Zone Vibe Wireless, which Logitech says is certified for “Microsoft Teams use”.

Both the Brio 500 webcam and the Zone Vibe headset are certified carbon neutral thanks to carbon offsets during the manufacturing process. Most of the plastic parts in the Zone Vibe headphones are made from recycled plastic, while 25% of the plastic in the Brio 500 is recycled.
The Brio 500 webcam costs $129 and . Zone Vibe headphones will be available in December. The Zone Vibe 100 will cost $99, while the Zone Vibe 125 and Zone Vibe Wireless will cost $130.
