Exactly, 😄was just thinking "I'm ordering this one for my home "office" (read kitchen)...." and then - "... maybe I think about it... " But like you say generally Logi products are good - very pleased with my webcam, mouse & keyboard, so will check for discounts over here (Sweden).
I like this integrated audio dock with many useful and powerful ports, too. While it's a pity that it lacks an ethernet port. I found out a similar product called hidock h1, more ports but less price. Looks much better than Logi Dock.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video - I've been looking for a few in depth reviews of this device and this is by far the most comprehensive review! Appreciate your insights on this device.
The 6 mics on that Dock do a terrible job of noise cancelling and the voice sound is pretty bad too; it was worse than the built-in mic. That is unfortunate considering the price point. This means that I would still want to use a dedicated microphone, so it would not fully realize the de-cluttering of the desk.
Thanks for the feedback Brad agree there could be some improvements made to the microphone performance but to be fair it is a speakerphone which isn’t designed for tons of noise cancellation. We do have our blind headset test open for 2023 to determine the best headset mic you can check it out vote.headsetadvisor.com
I agree with you, the microphone is terrible, but if they can improve it, and be as good as the JLAB workbuds microphone when it comes to noise cancellation, it would be pretty much perfect
@@LegendaryMaoMao20 yes, for me, if they added multi-monitor support (thunderbolt) and improved the mic it would be perfect. Also, full disclosure, I purchased an open box one and for now can live with the mic performance and connecting one extra usb-c to my laptop (until I get chaining working). Watching for the next generation though.
You can check out the hidock h1. Similar audio dock with more ports but less price. And it has the bi-directional noise cancellation for meetings and calls. The sound quality is good and no more microphone is needed.
So here's my question for this device - I, like many others, have a work from home setup which is an extension of my personal computer setup. i would love a device that allows me to share 1 super ultrawide monitor (samsung odyssey g9 49inch), a mouse, keyboard, qi charging mouse pad, webcam, and wireless dongle for earbuds, and/or usb-connected speakers between both my work laptop and my PC and to easily toggle between the two. Would this device allow me to accomplish this feat? The item details are listed below: Logitech stream cam (connects via usb-c) Drop Alt keyboard (connects via usb 3.0) logitech power pad mouse pad (connects via usb 3.0) logitech pro x mouse (can connect via usb 3.0, but is tethered to the mouse pad, so it stays connected to whatever the mouse pad is connected to) logitech g560 speakers (connects via usb 3.0) logitech g-fits bluetooth earbuds with lightspeed usb 3.0 dongle Monitor is samsung odyssey g9 49inch super ultrawide (can connect via hdmi 3.1 or display port) Right now im using a ugreen kvm switch but it is limited on ports. and in order to connect 1 additional usb 3.0 device i need to use a powered usb hub, which i currently do not possess. but would rather not have to daisy chain multiple things together if this will accomplish the task as 1 device.
Great video! Has the built in microphones been improved either via a firmware update or hardware update? Having a 6-microphone array mounted on the same housing as the speakers should be an easy task for Logi. I expected better noise cancelling AND microphone quality closer to their Rally Bar series conference room cameras - the laptop microphone seemed to have a better pick up.
Great video - do you think you could use this with two computers? Example - using a workstation pc and macbook pro at the same time? Wondering if there is a splitter or something that could be used?
Hello! Please help me. I brought Logitech Zone 100 headphone is already paired with my computer but whenever I turn it off and leave and comeback turn it on again it wont connect. I need to remove the paired device and pair it again in order to use it again.
I just got finished watching Action Retro and saw a 90s Z-Note Flex workstation with a modular audio CD-ROM dock I would like to have something like that
I am looking for such an integrated audio dock for my workstation, too. But with such price, we can have more choices. I recently noticed one called hidock h1, more ports, less price. And it has AI summary. That's really cool with ChatGPT feature on such a product.
hi, fabio from italy ! great video, but i have one question : i have a monitor samsung NEO G8, it doesn have output audio . i use the logi dock with my mac. but i have a PS5 . how can i connect the logi dock to my ps5 ?
i can use the audio from the logi dock, but i have to turn off my mac mini m2 and connect the cable from the dock to my ps5 . the solution i found by myself for now, its connect the dock to the mac via bluetooth for the audio and my ps5 to the dock via usb c . but in this way, i cant use the dock with my mac to use my hard disk connected. @@maartensegers
Thank you for the informative video! It appears that Logi Dock doesn't have a power button for a laptop. I.e. I cannot power on the connected laptop without opening the lid. Or am I missing the point?
Hmm no you cannot power on the laptop from the dock but you could have your laptop settings not power down when you close the lid. It will still power the laptop with the usb c cable
"Charge" the LogiDock? Does it have a battery inside of it? I read it off their website but it doesn't give a clear explanation why it needs a huge power brick
Sorry for the confusion but the logi dock doesn’t have a battery in it so it does charge. The big brick helps power the logidock but also gives enough power for it to charge a laptop through the usb c cable
I noticed that problem, too. The ethernet port is a must have for many people during work. So I bought hidock h1. That one has a 2.5Gbps ethernet port. It would much better fit our needs.
Speakers are good but the microphone quality is terrible; it’s so muffled and poor noise canceling in your test. Several other review tests had same result. Disappointing that both the Laptop and even basic webcams from Logitech offer a better mic.
LACKS IN TECH!!! I love products like Logi Dock.. There is nothing out there of this sort. I got mine recently and had to return it cos it doesn't work well with Thunderbolt 4 USB C ports. It needs DP Alt mode which depending upon the laptop manufacturers may or may not implement it in their firmware. I am really looking forward for an improved version of Logi Dock with the following: - Thunderbolt 4 support - Power Button - Additional HDMI port for 3 monitor setup - Support for display over USB - C ports - Ethernet Port - Overall better build quality (not that its bad!) and sound output for music The unique thing about this product is that its useful for both WFH setups and in business meeting rooms. Its lacking in technology though which is sad. Thunderbolt 4 support is a necessity in this day and age. I would urge Logitech to take this feedback and release a better version. Would be the 1st one in line to buy. www.reddit.com/r/logitech/comments/12jy8zw/improvedupdated_version_of_logi_dock/
Want MORE noise cancellation? Try neep noise cancelling software free neep.com
Really like the idea of this, Logi products are generally quite good overall, but damn... That price!

yeah, the price is quite expensive. So I choose an alternative with less price, called hidock h1. @@frida507

Great video - do you think you could use this with two computers? Example - using a workstation pc and macbook pro at the same time? Wondering if there is a splitter or something that could be used?
is there a way to connect two displays via HDMI?
Does it turn on the laptop with the lid closed?

between logi dock and jabra speak2 purely from a microphone and speaker comparison, which is better?
We will put it to the test in a video and see how it does
@@HeadsetAdvisor great, thanks. pleader include speak2 55
How do you power off the docking?
great video! How is the echo cancellation on both sending side and the remote participant side?
It does well but still won't be as good as a headset.
@@HeadsetAdvisor I got this one and so far in my use case the remote person has not complained about hearing themselves. So it seems like it works.

Hmm no you cannot power on the laptop from the dock but you could have your laptop settings not power down when you close the lid. It will still power the laptop with the usb c cable
You can get monitors with docks built in these days.
You can
So is this not good for gaming?
We haven't used it for gaming but it's not designed for that application so probably not, but casual gaming may be fine.
And this is what it sounds like, when doves cry
Hmm interesting.
Can I connect a PS5 as well so that audio comes out of it?
It's not made for a PS5 so we're not sure as we haven't tested it with a PS5.
"Charge" the LogiDock? Does it have a battery inside of it? I read it off their website but it doesn't give a clear explanation why it needs a huge power brick

Super duper hit video❤

No ethernet port... pfff...
also no thunderbolt support!
I noticed that problem, too. The ethernet port is a must have for many people during work. So I bought hidock h1. That one has a 2.5Gbps ethernet port. It would much better fit our needs.
Speakers are good but the microphone quality is terrible; it’s so muffled and poor noise canceling in your test.

It doesn’t do any one task well.
Thanks for your feedback!
how many screens does the dock support? i usually need at least 2, preferably 3 screens for work.

Have you looked at Dell docks ?
@@AndyK.1 do those come with a speaker phone?
@@vaibhavgoyal9056 No. but you can get an AE515 if you have a dell monitor. It has excellent noise cancellation and quality.
