EPOSImpact 860 Dual-Sided Wired Headset with USB-C/USB-A, Noise-Canceling Mic, Super Wideband Audio, Comfortable Fit, Ideal for Business Calls, Office Use, and Multi-Device Compatibility.

The media could not be loaded. 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!

TLDR: mic cancellation = amazing, price = not too bad, not budget, features = too cool, buy them? = yes!My husband and I share an office and I had no idea that my airpods werent great at noise cancelling during my meetings until a co worker brought it up. He is on calls all day and have a very loud voice.I watched too many youtube videos demo-ing noice cancelling mics over 3 days and after putting a few choices in my cart I decided on these because of the reviews and price.You CANNOT tell there is a person less than 10ft from me talking to people all day. I recorded a sample video on both google meets and zoom. Both times you couldnt hear anything in my background. We used an noise decibel app and his voice projects around 60-75 decibels depending on how loud hes talking for reference. They are a bit pricey for just a headset but worth the piece of mind.Im about to buy a second pair for my husband bc he says they fit his head better than his work issued headset.The only gripe I had (which was resolved) was the annoying "muted" "unmuted" voice prompt when I would mute and unmute BUT I discovered the epos connect app and that feature and many other features can be customized. I chose the tone prompt, theres also an option to remove a prompt all together. I also love that there is a little red light on the mic when your muted to avoid whoosy during calls, like singing when you think your on mute lol They were just plug and use.

This review is for the UC version (non-Teams) w/ ANC.The microphone does an excellent job of filtering all noise other than your voice. The headset build is lightweight and rates highly on comfort.For those wondering, there is an ANC button on the lower left ear cup that allows you to toggle between two modes: Talk-through (hear your environment/colleagues around you) and ANC on. There is no mode to completely turn off ANC or talk-through features, but I can appreciate that there are at least two options available.The ANC feature itself is mediocre. (Note that this is referring to filtering out office/loud noises for YOURSELF; whereas the microphone can completely block out all noise other than your voice, meaning that those on call who you are speaking with will only hear your voice). The ANC is more along the lines of Active Noise Reduction -- so you still filter a lot of the background noise for yourself, but do not expect complete noise cancellation along the lines of Apple AirPods Pros or BOSE QuietComforts.For an office or WFH related setting, the ANC capability is not as largely as important to me compared to great comfort, a clear-sounding microphone, and reliable wired connectivity. If the ANC was moderately stronger, this headset would get 5-stars.

These headphones saved me while working from home with a toddler. They have great sound quality, they do an excellent job of blocking out background noise so others cannot hear (toddlers screaming in the background) they fit nicely on your head and can be worn comfortably for hours at a time. I think they are great buy for the money and I would highly recommend them!

These headphones cancel out background noise really well, making them perfect for focused work. The microphone picks up my voice clearly during Zoom meetings and calls. They’re lightweight, easy to pack, and great for travel or commuting. I bought myself a pair a couple months ago and now I’ll be buying my employees some too.
