EPOS Impact 860 UC Wired ANC USB Stereo Headset 1001174

The EPOS IMPACT 860 ANC (1001174) is a professional stereo wired headset designed for business communication in busy offices, contact centres and hybrid working environments. Combining hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) with EPOS AI-based environmental noise reduction, adaptive beamforming microphone technology and super-wideband voice transmission, the IMPACT 860 ANC helps users stay focused while maintaining clear, natural conversations. Its lightweight on-ear construction, intelligent call controls, 360-degree busylight and USB-C connectivity with included USB-A compatibility make it a versatile choice for demanding professional use.

Key Features

• Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation: Reduces distracting surrounding noise to help users maintain concentration in busy office and contact-centre environments.
• 4 Digital MEMS Microphones: Uses four digital MEMS microphones to support professional voice pickup and active noise cancellation.
• AI-Based Environmental Noise Reduction: EPOS AI processing helps suppress unwanted background noise captured by the microphone.
• Adaptive Beamforming: Focuses microphone pickup toward the user's voice for clearer business communication.
• Super-Wideband Voice: Supports detailed, natural speech reproduction for professional calls and online meetings.
• Stereo / Binaural Design: Dual-ear construction provides audio through both earcups and helps improve concentration.
• USB-C Connectivity: Connects directly to compatible PCs, laptops and other supported USB-C devices.
• USB-A Compatibility: Includes a USB-C to USB-A adapter for use with traditional USB-A computers.
• 360-Degree Busylight: Provides clear visual call-status indication to colleagues around the user.
• Lift-to-Mute: Raising the microphone boom automatically mutes the microphone for quick call privacy.
• Flexible Boom Arm: Allows convenient positioning of the microphone for clear voice capture.
• On-Head Detection: Integrated wearing detection supports intelligent headset behaviour.
• Professional UC Design: Optimized for UC environments and designed for softphone and PC-based business communication.
• EPOS BrainAdapt Technology: Designed to help reduce cognitive load and improve focus during professional communication.
• EPOS ActiveGard: Helps protect users from excessive acoustic exposure during calls.

Active Noise Cancellation

The IMPACT 860 ANC differs from the standard IMPACT 860 by adding Active Noise Cancellation. EPOS uses a four-microphone digital MEMS configuration in the ANC model, compared with three digital MEMS microphones in the non-ANC IMPACT 860. This combination helps reduce surrounding noise heard by the user while EPOS AI-based processing helps minimise environmental noise transmitted to the other party.

• Active Noise Cancellation: Yes
• Microphone Configuration: 4 Digital MEMS microphones
• Microphone Noise Reduction: AI-based environmental noise reduction
• Voice Pickup: Adaptive beamforming
• Purpose: Improved concentration and communication in noisy working environments

Professional Voice Communication

Adaptive beamforming and EPOS AI-based noise processing are designed to keep the user's voice clear even when surrounding conversations and office noise are present. Super-wideband voice reproduction provides a natural speech experience for calls, meetings and collaborative work.

Comfort & Call Control

The IMPACT 860 ANC uses a professional on-ear stereo design intended for extended daily use. Integrated controls, lift-to-mute functionality, wearing detection and a 360-degree busylight make common call functions accessible directly from the headset.

• On-Ear Stereo Design: Suitable for prolonged professional use.
• Lift-to-Mute: Automatically mutes the microphone when the boom is raised.
• On-Head Detection: Detects when the headset is being worn.
• 360-Degree Busylight: Communicates call status to surrounding colleagues.
• Integrated Controls: Provides convenient access to supported call and audio functions.
