Unmatched Active Noise Cancellation for Distracting Environments
In open-plan offices, crowded coworking spaces, or busy call centers, the IMPACT 860 ANC uses advanced noise cancellation to minimize ambient chatter, keyboard clatter, HVAC hum, and street noise. The result is a quieter listening and speaking experience that helps you maintain focus, hear important cues in calls, and reduce listener fatigue during long conversations. With adjustable ANC levels via inline controls or software, you can tailor the balance between quiet and situational awareness, and even switch to a transparency-like mode when you need to hear your surroundings without removing the headset.

Crystal-Clear Microphone for Professional Communication
The precision microphone on the IMPACT 860 ANC is designed for natural, intelligible voice pickup. It reduces background noise, emphasizes your voice, and minimizes spill from room acoustics. A flexible boom keeps the mic in an optimal position, while built-in wind and pop suppression help you stay readable even in breezy or bustling environments. For conference calls, video meetings, and voice recordings, this mic delivers consistent clarity that teammates can rely on during critical discussions and collaborative sessions.

All-Day Comfort and Durable Build
Designed for extended use, the headset features soft memory-foam ear cushions, a lightweight frame, and an adjustable headband that distributes pressure evenly. The materials are chosen for long-term wear without overheating, and the reinforced hinges ensure daily reliability in professional settings. The headset’s compact, foldable design makes it easy to store between meetings or during travel, while its durable construction stands up to the rigors of busy workdays and frequent commuting.

Versatile Connectivity and UC Platform Compatibility
With wired USB-C and USB-A connectivity, the IMPACT 860 ANC is compatible with a wide range of devices and operating systems — including Windows, macOS, and major Unified Communications platforms. Plug-and-play for quick setup, it works seamlessly with Teams, Zoom, Meet, and other conferencing apps, letting you join calls with minimal configuration. Because it is bus-powered via USB, there’s no extra battery management to worry about, and you’ll enjoy reliable performance across productivity software, CRM systems, and desktop collaboration tools.

Smart Controls for Effortless Communication
Intuitive inline controls give you quick access to mute, volume, answer/end calls, and toggling ANC, so you don’t have to fidget with software during a live meeting. A visible status indicator helps you know when you’re muted, and a discreet busy light can signal to teammates when you’re engaged in a critical call. For teams requiring more customization, EPOS software provides deeper control over audio profiles, enabling you to tailor voice clarity, gain, and channel balance to your environment.
