EPOS IMPACT 860T ANC - Advanced Noise Cancelling Headset for Open Office Environments, Super Wideband Audio, USB-C Connectivity, Certified for Microsoft Teams

Excellent mic quality that makes the other party hear you clearly, including Active Noise Cancelation (ANC).

I bought this headset for business use as I do a lot of Teams meetings many of them outdoors, and many at home with ambient noise. I was looking for a headset that conceals the background noise from my interlocutors. After a lot of research I came up with this one, and I chose the wired as some people had issues with the wireless connection. After 1 week of use I can say that it has good mic quality, mic noise cancelation is good but not as marvelous as marketed. Sound quality is good, but not loud enough, and not for music of course. The ANC of the headphones is almost non existent to the extent that I returned the first headset I had received thinking that it had been faulty especially after all the praise I had found here in the reviews. However after I had received the replacement, I realized that it is just not good enough, and those who praised the ANC either have never tried a pair of boses or air pods, or these are just fake comments from affiliates with EPOS. I finally decided to keep this headset as my main demand was for the noise canceling mic which is satisfactory so far, also I got it with a very good offer here on Amazon and the different between the ANC and the non ANC versions was trivial.

While its microphone noise cancellation generally works well and effectively suppresses background noise, I have noticed that sometimes a crackling or static sound develops. When this occurs, the crackling lasts for many seconds and disrupts my calls.

Crackling sounds in one ear

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.

In One Line- Best in class Headset for Office work. It's superb ENC is so good that cancels almost all background sound and the person on the other end hears your voice clearly without any background noise. It also has ANC which works well too but it's automatic it changes the intensity automatically. The product is genuine and authentic. Connectivity to laptop, pc is great. But if you want to use it with your mobile phone it works well but doesn't cancels background noise.
