Wireless Over The Head EPOS Sennheiser ADAPT 560 ANC Bluetooth Headset With USB Dongle

EPOS | Sennheiser ADAPT 560 ANC Bluetooth Headset with USB DongleThe ADAPT 560 is a stereo (2 earcups) Bluetooth headset designed for use with a PC/Laptop via the included BTD 800 USB dongle. It has a microphone boom which folds away very discretely. The 560 is MS Teams CERTIFIED, with a dedicated button to launch Teams (via the BTD 800). The Active Noise Cancelling in the earcups helps block out background noise around you and keep you focused on your work / music.Designed for the contemporary office worker looking for one headset to use both for calls and for entertainment and other media.We gave this headset to Pete to try. Pete's a no-fuss kinda guy but having high-level conversations all day every day, he demands great performance from his headsets. Here's what he thought about the ADAPT 560...'Amazing sound quality from this headset ... and the noise cancelling is impressive.' Whilst using the headset in lockdown he reported. 'Working From Home, the noise cancelling blocks out the screaming kids both ways.' (With a 4 month old and a 7 year old stuck in the house, he would know!) 'Battery life is also very solid and it's nice to have a quality headset that can juggle both my PC and mobile phone.'Lets find out moreThis is the first Bluetooth headset from EPOS (previously Sennheiser) to be in the headphone style with Active Noise Cancelling AND to have a microphone arm. As Sennheiser gurus themselves have told us, nothing beats physical proximity when it comes to voice reproduction quality. So if you're looking for something to listen to music AND to use with calls this is would be an excellent choice.Modern collaborative office environments are becoming increasingly noisy and challenging our ability to concentrate. The ADAPT 560 has Active Noise Cancelling tech which 'hears' the noise around you and sends out tiny signals that you can't actually hear, to counter-act them. That's the simplified explanation, anyway - what it means for you is that you can get your work done in peace (and of course listen to music without hearing colleagues too), then when you're on the journey home, you can retreat to your world of music, podcasts and audio-books OR stay aware of your environment by turning off ANC. Now the ear cups are not large, they are oval in shape and the speaker diameter is only about 35mm so they won't encompass your ear and the noise blocking is not the same as the Adapt 360 or 660 - its the addition of the microphone boom that makes the 560 stand out.The sound quality is of course outstanding; ensuring you get vivid highs and booming bass.As you'd expect from EPOS it has a classic, minimalist design that's not going to be out of fashion 5 minutes after you get it (no gaudy colours to be found in THIS range). The earcups fold flat & in towards the headband to fit into the semi-rigid zippered storage pouch (included).Of course the ADAPT 560 UC is certified for use with all major UC Brands such as MS Teams, APTX, Avaya, Cisco, Alcatel-Lucent, Polycom, Snom, Mitel, Unify, Yealink etc etc.
