Logitech Reportedly Bids $2 Billion For Headset Maker Plantronics

Logitech is apparently looking to expand its hardware empire even further. It hasn’t even been four months since the company confirmed that it’s going to acquire Blue Microphones. A new report claims that Logitech is also interested in acquiring a headset maker called Plantronics and has reportedly bid $2.2 billion for the company.

Reuters reports that Logitech is in discussions to acquire Plantronics, a U.S. company that makes Bluetooth earpieces and gaming headsets. If a deal is reached it would be Logitech’s largest acquisition ever and would highlight its efforts to further diversify its business.

Logitech has reportedly offered more than $2.2 billion for Plantronics. If the negotiations end up being successful, a formal announcement of this deal could be made as early as next week. However, sources mentioned in the report caution that it’s also possible that the talks fall through with no deal being signed.

Plantronics declined to comment on the matter when reached by the scribe while Logitech didn’t respond to its request for a comment. One of the reasons the two companies are said to be in talks for a deal is the effort to reduce manufacturing costs and limit the impact of the Trump administration’s tariffs on imports from China into the United States.
