EPOS Impact 860 ANC Double-Sided Wired Headset with Active Noise Cancellation, USB C & USB A, Lightweight, Comfortable Fit, Microsoft Teams & Zoom Compatible for Office Work, Black

This headset is awesome. I work on a noisy place, and was constantly having customers ask if I was speaking to them, and complaining about background noise. Not with this headset! I can't hear anything but whoever I'm on the phone with and they can't hear anyone but me. Highly recommended. A little pricy, but we'll worth it.

Best purchase I've made for remote work. I can be in the middle of a noisy coffee shop or brewery with loud music, and can still hear my calls clearly, and my audience can hear me too with the mouthpiece. Great for the noisy office too. I love both the active noise cancelling and the pass-through option if I'm in a quiet area and need to ensure I'm not yelling. I use the wired option so I don't have to worry about charging them, and I have a USB converter so I can use it with my Macbook. My suggestions would be: have a USB-C option if that's a thing, and make these with bigger ear pads. They do hurt a bit after several hours of work.

Worked for 4 months then started having terrible screeching and distorted noise. Noise cancelling microphone also stopped working. I work from home with small children and got in trouble. This is too expensive to not be working after such a short time

I have been on the search for a wired headset that performs as well as the Blue Parrot for microphone noise cancellation but in a wired configuration. The use case is I like to take my calls while walking outside, but the city’s 2.4 GHz is so congested, any Bluetooth headset struggles to stay connected without degradation. Watching the videos on YouTube, I was hopeful the 860 was the perfect mix of wired connection and microphone audio reduction. I tested it from my Jeep, outside in direct 40 mph winds, and in a Sam’s Club - where indoor voices are seldom used. In all instances, when the ambient noise rose significantly, recipients on the other end said my voice sounded “warbly”. When moving in the Jeep, the speakers would play static into my ears (the microphone tries to play your voice through the speakers.) When at Sam’s, kids yelling out of nowhere would be picked up by the mic and the recipients would ask me “what was that?” I verified the headphones did not have any firmware updates and then reached out to support. They quickly responded and said the ANC algorithm they are using expects indoor, predictable noises, not the chaotic environments I was testing. They recommended the ADAPT 600, “ used by Aston Martin Formula 1 team members” but acknowledged the 600 doesn’t have a microphone boom so it will also struggle filtering of external sounds. In summary, the headset may be great for in-office, predictable noises, but struggle when in high noise, unpredictable environments.

I recently bought the Impact 860 headset, and I absolutely love it! One of my favorite features is the sturdy headband—it’s made of plastic rather than rubber, so it doesn’t strip like my previous headset. Another great feature is the mic’s auto-mute function. If you lift the mic from your mouth to your ear, it automatically mutes, which is super convenient. But the standout feature for me is the active noise cancelling. As a stay-at-home mom who works from home, this is a game-changer. It effectively blocks out background noise, whether it’s my baby, neighborhood dogs, or the garbage truck honking outside. With my old headset, I constantly worried about noise interference, which gave me anxiety, especially when I had to manage my child or deal with unexpected loud sounds. This headset has made my work life so much more comfortable and stress-free. I can even move around and know that background noise won’t be picked up during calls. It’s a significant investment, but completely worth it if you’re looking for reliable noise cancellation. Trust me—this headset delivers on its promise. If you need a quality noise-cancelling headset, the Impact 860 is worth every penny. Invest in yourself and get one!

The noise cancellation feature is awesome. I work from home and worry they will hear the dog bark or something which will get me fired. So I got this hoping for a cure for background noise. It works great at that, if only it would work with avaya all the time. It will just stay muted so the callers cannot hear me at all. It’s something in my settings that changes when I log off. I think the headset is great, but there seems to be a glitch with my avaya working with it in windows 11. After I mess with it and get the kinks worked out I am super happy that the customers cannot hear my dog bark etc.

Worth the investment. I wfh and my kids cannot be heard. Even when my 3 year old screams. They have been a complete lifesaver! Also very comfortable and very little voice distortion when any. Fit is perfect and could easily adjust if needed.

If you work from home with children/animals or in loud environments, this headset is amazing. The sound quality is great and the microphone blocks out all background noises. I have done plenty of sound checks and if someone is in the same room as me talking, crying, yelling, doing dishes - the mic only picks up on my voice. I was sceptical at first but it is 100% worth the money. I have sensitive ears and not used to wearing headsets for 10+ hours a day so after awhile my ears are sore but otherwise the ear cushions are very comfortable.

Si trabajas en un lugar con ruido y demasiada gente estos son perfectos (hay mejores opciones ) Y son de material premium , son compatibles con consolas y celulares , pero con iPhones no parecen ser compatibles para llamadas , solo para escuchar música o audio en general .

O fone tem um acabamento excelente, desde as almofadas que são revestidas com um couro bem macio até o cabo que é super maleável. Usei plantronic durante anos e o que mais gostei neste da EPOS foi o filtro de ruído dele para conversação. Todos me escutam com clareza e não escutam nenhum barulho ao meu redor, mesmo em casa com barulho de aspirador, cachorro, etc. Ainda vem com uma bolsa em tecido muito boa.

I was sent a defective unit. Great surprise when I opened what was supposedly a brand new unit with a printed note inside listing the defects.

Fijne headset. Prima geluid. Goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding.

ノイズキャンセリングがとても聞いていてノイズが軽減されています。 イヤーパッドもとても柔らかくて耳への負担も減りそうです。 買ってよかったです。
