In the unlikely event this ever proves useful to whoever stumbles across it, it seemed that the solution was to 're-pair' the connection between the nano USB unit and the headset. For some reason whether it picks up the pairing fluctuates when you plug it into new machines. The power cut must have somehow broken it for my Mac Pro.

To re-pair an H600, charge them up and plug in the nano USB you get with it. hold down the up volume button and the mute button for ten seconds until the LED flashes rapidly then leave it to pair (takes maybe 20 seconds).

This was mentioned in passing in a very odd YouTube video I came across by accident. Supposedly there is a utility that lets you interact with the headphones but it didn't show itself to me an a mac, if it still exists.

They are great headphones if you do a lot on online meetings, you barely notice you have them on and despite this oddity I find them more reliable and better sound than anything else I've tried.

Cheers,
Jason

Hi Smuggers,

I bought a Logitech H600 wireless headset in the endless quest to make endless online teaching and meetings work better and at first it worked really well. It has a radio unit that plugs into USB, rather than bluetooth.

Then today we had a power cut (!) and my Mac pro went down, of course. On restoring everything, there is ferocious interference on the headset mic in particular but also the headphones. However, on my laptop they continue to work perfectly. I've tried different USB ports, SMC reset, PRAM reset, starting from a clone of the hard drive and several restarts.

I can't think of anything else to test and am a bit mystified (using different start-up disks shows it's not OS, and proving different machines work shows it must be the Mac Pro but 'under the OS'. But what is there to reset apart from SMC and PRAM here? (I guess I'm looking at firmware but have no idea how to fiddle with that and am not sure I should...)

Cheers,

Jason
