EPOS Adapt 660 (1000200) - Dual-Sided, Dual-Connectivity, Wireless, Bluetooth, Adaptive ANC Over-Ear Headset | for Desk/Cell Phone & Softphone | Teams Certified (Black)

This looks including the specs exactly like Sennheiser pxc 550. Sennheiser is Fantastic headphones, better than Sennheiser Momentum 4. Still good for music lovers even after over 7 years of use.

Having a lot of meetings throughout the day I needed a comfortable pair of headphones certified for Teams. I found this headset comfortable and the sound quality in calls was exceptionally good. Told my voice was clear and not robotic. All of this was achieved when the provided single was used. I did have issues where the headphones would not connect for a Teams call but worked better at this when I uninstalled my previous headsets software. Battery life is ok, it could be better. Get about 2-3 days of heavy use in a 8-hour workday. The headphones sound quality for audio is good especially when you adjust the default sound settings using the app when paired with your smartphone. Light and comfortable. They should update the headphones to USB C, right now it’s micro usb. They do look more business professional when worn. Touch control for muting and volume control works with no snags. Overall great headphones but can be improved. Cheaper than alternatives I was looking at like the Jabra 85h UC. After 7 months of usage the headphones would not turn on. Epos Support is amazing, tried trouble shooting on a call but we were not able to revive the headphones. Received a brand-new set with all accessories including case. The new headset seems to have improved in its hinges and rubber coating. Dongle provided was a newer version and seems to work much better. Just for the stellar customer service I would highly recommend this headset.

Comfortable headset for long hours use. The noise cancellation could be improved as while chatting using the EPOS usb dongle or connected to my mobile devices the other party can still hear background noise which can block out conversations.

tl;dr I would buy these again and recommend them to others for work use. I'm a Windows and Android based user so this is the perspective I'm coming from. I can't comment on other OS experiences, but for me my overall experience has been a good one. I use these all day long and have for the last month. Fit wise I like that they have slightly larger ear cups than several other similarly purposed headsets I own. They feel a little warmer more quickly on my ears than others, but not by much. And really after having these or any headset on my head for 6-8 hours straight it doesn't really matter at that point. My ears are going to be warm regardless. I also like that these are super lightweight and fold up relatively small. I see myself using these as my traveling go-to headset once I'm traveling again. (boo covid) The ANC works great and in most situations I have it turned to the adaptive setting, which can be adjusted via phone app. The mic monitoring or "side tone" is OK. I wish it could be turned up higher, but this is a minor gripe. For example the Plantronics Voyager 8200UC's mic monitoring is louder and more pronounced. It is still definitely loud enough to hear yourself and not have to pull the one ear on and one ear off routine. My personal preference would be to make the max mic monitoring volume maybe top out at ~1.5x what it is now so the user can adjust it down as needed. Who knows maybe that will be done via a future firmware update? Microsoft Team's works great with these. The call quality is good, but becomes game changing-ly good after enabling the "Call Enhancement" feature. I can't stress that enough. Turn that feature on now! If you close your eyes while on a call, hopefully not when you are video conferencing, it does sound like you are talking to someone in the same room and is exceptionally clear. Speaking of call quality nobody has had any issues hearing me. For a boom-less design these do really well. I tested out the mic's noise cancelling ability via various background noises. Even with a fan blowing directly into my face I can still be understood albeit more "grainy" sounding as the fan's noise is being removed and my voice left in. Pretty cool stuff. If you have a loud keyboard... well... it does what it can, but no boom-less design will be able to completely kill mx blue switches... let's just be honest. It does do an OK job, but keyboard clicks will be picked up if you are rolling with some loud switches. Using the USB dongle to a laptop and a phone via Bluetooth gives a good experience once paired, but I do have two gripes: Number one is the pairing process. If you plug in the dongle first BEFORE pairing to your phone be prepared to be frustrated. My experience is it simply would not allow me to pair to my phone with the dongle active. It would go into pairing mode and my phone would see the device, but it would just give an generic unable to pair message. As soon as the dongle is unplugged I could pair with no problems and plugging the dongle back in worked as expected. Maybe this will get fixed via a future firmware update, but it was frustrating to hit this. So just be aware of this and the simple solution of unplugging the dongle when attempting to pair to a phone. Number two is the Windows/PC audio interrupt. By this I mean when a sound is played on the PC it interrupts the phone Bluetooth audio. For example a Teams meeting starts on the PC. The PC should take priority over the Bluetooth audio in this situation. This works and if I'm playing music on my phone it is paused and the meeting audio takes over. An example problem sound could be with an email arrival notification that is played on the PC. It also interrupts the Bluetooth audio. So it totally makes sense that this should interrupt and it should be played, but this should ONLY happen when the PC volume is NOT muted. Even with the PC volume muted it STILL interrupts the Bluetooth audio. This is one super annoying thing that should not work this way and I'm hoping this will be addressed in the future. With the Plantronics Voyager 8200UC if I muted the PC audio it did not interrupt the phone Bluetooth audio when emails arrived and a sound was played. Overall though I really like these. For business use they are great and would highly recommend them for someone who is in and out of Microsoft Teams meetings all day. For background music or streaming while working these are also great. Also no complaints on the battery life or the wireless range.

I bought this for working at home with Microsoft Teams and Zoom calls. And secondary requirement is for listening to Spotify while travelling on train. Feedback on music listening while on train: - the sound from speakers is energizing, can feel the 'boom' gust of air for loud sounds. It is entertaining, and is an upgrade compared to my AirPods Pro as a music listening tool. - however the ANC setting is strange compared to my Jabra Evolve 75. Sudden loud sounds are not silenced, but is muted down. So my music is not pure when there are noises, like when the train is travelling inside tunnel the screeching sounds come out strong, and it is not so pleasant compared to Jabra Evolve75 or Airpods pro. Feedback on voice calls at home using MS-Teams or Zoom: - My home regularly has F-15 fighter jets patrolling in the sky. The microphone does detact the jet engine sounds and mute it, but in the process also distort my voice and I get complaints from my listeners that i am speaking as if there is much static noise and is fading in and out. - Second, my home working area has a running fountain situated outside my open window. When i used Airpods Pro mic, the fountain sounds get picked up and my listeners can hear them when we are conversing. EPOS 660 does a great job of eliminating this when I'm speaking and my callers now can't hear these sounds.

Bought these because they claim to be Teams certified. I have never had a set set of headphones that are more unstable than these. I have lost count of the number of times I have started a Teams call and found I have no audio. If I view the Windows mixer, I can see that there is sound being sent to the headphones, I just can't hear anything and no one can hear me. The same thing with YouTube or my phone (Bluetooth). If you are OK having to do this to at least once a day: - unplug/plug the dongle. - shut down and re-launch Teams - power cycle the headphones - reboot PC Then these are the headphones for you. When they work, the sound quality is great and the noise cancellation is top notch. Save your money. I'm going back to my JBL Club 950 NC. Had minor sound quality issues when connecting to multiple Bluetooth devices at the same time, but at least they always worked.
