We will be providing you with a comprehensive review of the IMPACT 500 ANC headset and showing you the impact it creates in a loud office.
What is the Active Noise Cancelling most useful for?
Active Noise Cancellation, sometimes shortened to ANC, is the process of a headsets sound waves cancelling out the sound waves that come from outside sources such as chatter or machinery.
The mics on the headset will emit the equal decibel of sound wave towards the incoming sound to cancel it out. This can also be referred to as anti-noise.
The hybrid ANC in the EPOS IMPACT 500 headset cancels out noise such as background noise in an office or sounds of pets or children at home. This allows for more clarity during work calls or meetings and removes most disruptive sounds that can otherwise irritate someone working.
How comfortable is the new EPOS IMPACT 500?
With the headset being crafted with breathable leatherette earpads and a lightweight design, comfort for every call is almost guaranteed. EPOS BrainAdapt™ technology protects the users' brain from poor audio and fatigue.
Alongside the elegant and professional design, the ease of use is also upgraded with call control buttons such as mute/unmute, Teams button, busy light, volume adjusting and accept/end call buttons. The boom arm with the mic is equipped with a mute LED, which will light up when the user is speaking to indicate that their mic is muted.
Compatibility and Connectivity of the EPOS IMPACT 500.
Using the BTD 900c dongle, the headset can be connected laptops and computers for a more reliable connection for Microsoft Teams. However, the headset can be connected over native Bluetooth to most devices including laptops, phones, and tablets. Multi-point connectivity allows you to connect over Bluetooth to 2 devices at the same time.
The IMPACT 500 is certified for Microsoft Teams Open Office, Zoom, and Google Meet. This ensures call issues and dropouts are reduced, allowing for a seamless integration with your preferred communication platform.
Who is the EPOS IMPACT 500 ANC headset made for?
The IMPACT 500 is perfect for people who take back-to-back calls and work in busy open plan offices with constant chatter or noise and hybrid workers who switch environments frequently. The battery life is also very impressive which supports the long durations of calls and long commutes. On a full charge, you will get on average 36 hours of talk time and 89 hours of listening time.
