EPOS ADAPT 561 II

EPOS ADAPT 561 II — Wired and Wireless Binaural Headset with ANC

The EPOS ADAPT 561 II is a professional binaural headset built for office and call-centre environments where call quality and comfort matter. It combines Bluetooth 5.0 with a USB-C dongle, so you can switch seamlessly between a laptop and a phone. Dual noise-cancelling microphones isolate your voice, while active noise cancellation blocks distractions around you. The redesigned headband and textured earpads keep things comfortable across long shifts. Certified across Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco, and other major UC platforms, it is ready to work from day one.

Core specifications

Dual connectivity for flexible working

The EPOS ADAPT 561 II connects via Bluetooth 5.0 and a USB-C receiver at the same time. You can pair it to your laptop and mobile simultaneously, then switch between calls with a single tap. This multi-point approach means fewer dropped sessions when moving between devices. In practice, it removes the need to carry two headsets for two platforms.

Comfort engineered for extended shifts

Weighing just 232 g, this headset uses a reworked headband and high-friction textured earpads. The supra-aural design sits on the ears rather than clamping around them. So even after several hours, pressure build-up stays minimal. The foldable construction also makes it easy to stow in the included carrying case between calls.

Voice clarity with dual noise-cancelling microphones

Two MEMS microphones sit on a foldable boom arm. Hybrid noise-cancelling technology filters ambient sound from both sides, so your callers hear only your voice. The boom folds away neatly when you are not on a call. This setup performs well in open-plan offices where background chatter is constant.

Battery life to match the longest working day

With ANC switched off, you get up to 41 hours of talk time and 46 hours of music playback. Switch ANC on, and you still have 24 hours of continuous use before recharging via USB-C. A full charge takes around three and a half hours. Standby time stretches to over 1,900 hours, so it holds its charge between shifts.

ANC that helps you focus

Active noise cancellation reduces low-frequency background noise such as air conditioning and office hum. This makes it easier to concentrate during complex calls or focused work. Because the ANC is adjustable, you can switch it off when you need full environmental awareness.

Before you order

• Confirm your laptop or phone supports Bluetooth 5.0 or has a USB-C port for the dongle.
• Check that your UC platform appears in the supported certification list (MS Teams, Zoom, Cisco Jabber, Webex, Google Meet, Avaya, Mitel, or Alcatel Lucent).
• Ensure a USB-C port is available for charging if you plan to use the headset wirelessly throughout the day.
• Consider your typical shift length — at 41 hours talk time, this headset comfortably covers the most demanding schedules without daily charging.
