The EPOS IMPACT 860T ANC is a wired stereo headset built for desk workers who need to stay focused in loud, open-plan offices. Hybrid Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation blocks out the surrounding office noise so you can concentrate, while a MEMS-directional boom microphone powered by EPOS AI keeps your own voice clear and natural for the person on the other end of the call. Built on EPOS BrainAdapt technology, the IMPACT 860T ANC is designed to reduce the cognitive load of working in a noisy environment, helping you stay sharp through back-to-back meetings.
Officially certified for Microsoft Teams Open Office requirements, the IMPACT 860T ANC meets strict standards for microphone quality, noise suppression, and voice pickup - a straightforward, reliable choice for Teams-based workplaces. Leatherette memory foam earpads and a padded, adjustable headband keep the headset comfortable for long shifts, while the smart controller puts mute, volume, and call controls always within easy reach.
Connectivity is USB-C, with a USB-C to USB-A adapter included in the box for older computers and docking stations. A 360-degree busylight signals your call status to colleagues, and ActiveGard technology protects your hearing against sudden volume spikes throughout the day.
