EPOS IMPACT 860T

EPOS IMPACT 860T – Certified UC Headset for Focused Desk Work

The EPOS IMPACT 860T is a wired, binaural headset built for office and call-centre professionals who spend long hours on calls every day. It carries official Microsoft Teams and Google Meet certification, so setup is instant on the platforms you already use. Three microphones with EPOS AI™ beamforming capture your voice clearly, even in busy open-plan spaces. Hybrid noise cancelling blocks distractions on both ends of every call. Because it connects via USB-C and requires no drivers, you simply plug in and start working. At just 170 grams, it stays comfortable through the busiest shifts.

Essential specifications at a glance

Three microphones that cut through office noise

Most single-mic headsets struggle when background chatter rises. The EPOS IMPACT 860T uses three MEMS microphones alongside beamforming technology to isolate your voice from the surrounding environment. EPOS AI™ processes audio in real time, so callers hear you clearly regardless of noise level. In practice, this means fewer “sorry, could you repeat that?” moments during team calls or client meetings.

Hybrid noise cancelling for two-way clarity

Noise cancelling on this headset works in both directions. Incoming audio benefits from a closed acoustic design and the on-ear cushions, which passively block ambient sound. Your microphone simultaneously uses hybrid active noise cancelling to strip away background noise before it reaches the far end. The result is a cleaner, more natural conversation for everyone on the call.

On-ear controls that keep you in the flow

Reaching for your keyboard to mute or adjust volume breaks your concentration. This headset places answer, end, mute, and volume controls directly on the ear cup. LED indicators give you a quick visual confirmation of mute status, so there is no awkward “am I on mute?” delay. Because the controls are tactile and intuitive, you can operate them without looking away from your screen.

All-day comfort at a featherweight 170 grams

Long shifts demand a headset you forget you are wearing. At 170.1 grams, the EPOS IMPACT 860T is noticeably lighter than many dual-ear rivals. The adjustable headband distributes weight evenly, while the supraaural ear pads (74 × 74 × 19.3 mm) use soft cushioning to reduce pressure points. A folding microphone arm tucks away neatly when you are listening rather than speaking.

Plug-and-play USB-C simplicity

There is no software to install and no Bluetooth pairing to troubleshoot. The 1.85-metre USB-C cable delivers both audio and power from the moment it is connected. It works across Windows and Mac environments that support standard USB audio, which makes deployment straightforward for IT teams rolling headsets out across a department.
