Impressive mic! Great fidelity. The super wideband is also very unique and I couldn't detect any degradation of the music quality ! This will probably trash jabra evolve2 55.
Quite impressive. Especially because EPOS enters the realm of Poly, Jabra and Yealink with this kind of quality. Maybe I will give it a try when my Voyager Focus 2 is out of service.
I am fortunate to have both this headset and a Jabra, and people on the other end are telling me that they have difficulty to hear me compared to the Jabra, with the same setup
Try having the headset only paired to one Bluetooth device and the computer dongle, I had a similar issue with a headset that supported three devices and it sacrificed the microphone while all three devices were simultaneously paired to it.
Great, in-depth review! I would also like to point out the quality of the control buttons. They are neither flimsy nor small as with some other competitors. What is definitely missing is a dedicated USB-C dongle version though. EPOS offers an adapter as an accessory but from an enterprise point of view it is unexpected that there is no USB-C version. The charging stand and the charging cable are both USB-C so why not include the USB-C dongle or and adapter like Poly is doing right now?
We ordered several of these for our sales team and they have numerous connectivity issues. We have had one of our sales guys picking up an audio loop from an unknown source. He had only ever connected to his work laptop and there were no applications playing audio yet he kept hearing an audio loop. All these cool features just aren't worth it to me if the headphones keep losing connectivity.
We’d feel the same way but it shouldn’t be losing connectivity like this. If you ordered from us, feel free to contact us so our tech support can assist.
Wow... really good MNC (Mic Noise Cancallation) 😮 But quality of voice also impressed... Earlier versions of EPOS was at most decent, maybe now they want to fight with the best (I think about Jabra and Poly :P).
Do you have a noisy environment like an open office causing you not able to focus on your work? If so then go with the ANC it's not going to be the best but it will help cut out some noise it will be worth it if it helps save a few minutes a day for you.
@@HeadsetAdvisorANC is cutting sounds which we can hear or it cuts sounds which others can hear on the call? I would like to know if version without ANC cut the sounds around me on the call.
Wow finally. I wonder if the noise cancelling is that good, can we judt use the mic and use external speakerds instead of the headset for calls/gaming.
@@HeadsetAdvisor Actually Im probably mistaken, its an OS feature update but since I use AirPods thats how I see it as functioning. I dont see the original response I posted but just search Voice Isolating feature.
I had a chance to use it and it does have more side tone than Jabra Evolve 2 55 and 65 flex at least in my view. Sorry I have no experience with the 75, but most likely the same thing goes for it I guess
I am still using the SDW10 with the D1 adapter and SDW60 with the station and I have the Anker H700 for traveling because of the ANC. I just received my Impact 1000! I compared the Impact 1000 against the Anker H700 because these headsets have pretty much the same features. I paid 55 USD for the Anker and around 290 USD for the Impact 1000. The winner for me is clearly the ANKER H700! Comfort is much better! ANC is completely at a different level. I can put the H700 on and really focus on my work. The Impact 1000 are using ear cushion which make my ears sweat like crazy. The only thing better on the Impact 1000 is the microphone. The noise cancelling of the impact 1000 mic is impeccable. Overall, I am very disappointed with the Epos Impact 1000. The H700 is being delivered with a hard case. The impact 1000 just with a cheap soft case... Not okay for this price point. The SDW10 and SDW60 are still amazing and made for professionals. IMO the impact 1000 is a big step down from the SDWs.
@@HeadsetAdvisor Thank you for the great review. Did you have similar issues with the ear cushions? Too bad they chose ear cushions that make my ears sweat and provide bad noise cancelling...
@@grogu360 they aren’t as soft as others but with that we found the audio to be very crisp. We didn’t find our ears sweating, but we have heard the same feedback from some customers where this happens with most headsets worn on their ears vs over the ears. The ANC was also about what we expected but where it really shines is the build quality and microphone sound/mic noise cancellation.
@@HeadsetAdvisor I agree - the mic quality is superb. Also on my SDWs. Too bad the cushions are relatively hard. When I press the ear cups closer to my head the noice canceling gets significantly better.
I currently use the Jabra Evolve2 75. Do you think this is on par with that headset or an upgrade? My demo unit should be arriving next week so I'm excited to test it out and compare the two.
Both are unique in their own way and are two very good quality headsets. Depending on your needs would determine what's best, but you can't go wrong with either choice.
Sennheiser and EPOS are the same products. Sennheiser was licensing their name to the manufacturer of EPOS headsets. So all the Sennheiser business headsets are now under the brand EPOS.
Agreed! Both are considered top-tier. Over the years we've learned sound is very subjective, but in our view, one doesn't noticeably outshine the other; they seem to be comparable.
Dear headset advisor. First of all, thank you for always wonderful reviews. I just have one question. I'm thinking of buying this headset, but I'm not sure if I understand the difference between the headset with anc and without anc. I understand that it blocks out the noises from my environment, meaning I can focus on the sound from my headset better than with anc. But my question is about the microphone. Is the microphone quality affected in the choice between the two headsets (with anc and without anc). Meaning, does the microphone with anc have better quality and does the person on the other side of the call hear me better and hear less background noise with anc headset? Or is that completely irrelevant for the mic, and it only affects the sound coming from the headphones. Thank you so much in advance, i truly hope you understand my questions.
I’m not 100% sure as I wasn’t listening for that but the sound quality is quite good while the mic is open not much difference from when the mic is off which is stereo.
@@loconius @HeadsetAdvisor I actually went ahead and directly asked about it to the customer support, and it turns out the headset can provide audio in stereo even when using the mic, which is awesome! Thank you for creating great videos, I always enjoy it!
Thanks for the review ! Do tou think the sidetone is working better than Jabra’s ? I am using an Evolve 2 65 and I don’t like it. With no sidetone I can’t ear my own voice and speak naturally even without ANC, and with sidetones it is unstable, the volume of my voice changes and it has a little reverb effect wich is unpleasant… Finally I feel better with my old Epos 160… Should I try the 1060 or the adapt 260 in your opinion as I really need to ear my voice to speak correctly ?
I love the noise cancelling on these from your test, but I presume they do not integrate with Ringcentral? It would be beneficial for future vids to advise if the headset is/ or can integrate with Ringcentral. for the people looking for wireless without having to run back to their computer to answer a call. just a suggestion also if it does work to let me know also :)
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts to help us improve :) yes, this will work with RingCentral so you can answer/end calls when away from the computer.
need to add this one model to headset blind test. Voyager focus 2 or this one is better in your opinion? I don't need ANC, but I prefer mic quality and clarity and comfort for few hour using a day.
Would you say this is the best, highest quality noise cancelling microphone on a headset there is? I work in a noisy call center and want the natural sound of my voice to come through clear without backround noise
@@HeadsetAdvisorlast question…is it necessary I buy the UC version? The one I’m looking at doesn’t come with a stand for the UC version but the one with a stand is not UC. Will the non UC version still work fine with my soft phone? I use five9
I ordered the mono version (1030T). I'm having trouble hearing the other person on the call. The volume is too low even when set to highest volume setting. I updated the firmware on the headset and on my iPhone 13 pro but still the volume is low when on call. If I'm listening to media then the volume is normal and can get loud. I'm not sure what the problem is.
@@HeadsetAdvisor it's the first time I heard about HID headset protocol, I'm on mac and I use safari. I've got bose 700 (2021), jabra evolve 40 MS (2014), and EPOS 1061 ANC (new). I use a lot of Google meet (for NGOs) and when having to call for business related (not calling but being call) they use teams (actually more for one shoot screen share than audio), and sometimes we moved to Zoom or WebEX. I did call myself with Google meet on chrome (As I'm not used to do) and that is a game changer, even the Jabra evolve 40 remote is now working as intended. Google NEVER told us about, you should really make that explicit in your next videos ! Again and again ! ( It's not geyed out on safari as it should, it's missing, no way to know it's missing, google is a mess ).
I just watched the video with the same headset EPOS Impact 1061 ANC. I hear a strange distortion when the background music runs and you talk. Do you have the same issue?
Haha thank you. The JLAB Work Buds video is done and in editing now should be released by tomorrow so you’ll probably only make it to day 2 of asking 😂
. Does this headset support EVS? (or equivalent) It is such a nuisance that headsets restrict the microphone bandwidth to the ancient POTS. Skype, WhatsApp, Teams, mobile phones etc. offer a much better speech quality which we should be able to take advantage of. .
Thanks for the video. Do you know how to activate the ringtone on the headset when it is placed on the charging station? It is only when i remove it from the charging station that you hear the ringing
Sorry if already asked and answered, but is the 7 second delay switch to the laptop only for music? Will picking up phone calls on the laptop when listening to music on the phone take 7 seconds to switch to the lapop as well?
@HeadsetAdvisor Thank you. That might be a deal breaker for me then. Otherwise, the headset sounds like a 9 out of 10 for me, especially since the price has dropped. Mic is super impressive.
Hmmm the mic on this headset is pretty good but the evolve2 55 tested the best wireless in our best mic test. I’d probably choose evolve2 55 headsetadvisor.com/products/copy-of-jabra-evolve2-55-mono-headset-wireless-bluetooth-headset?_pos=2&_sid=adc12d341&_ss=r
@@HeadsetAdvisor thank you. About to order but not sure if I should get UC or teams certified. I occasionally have meetings with Microsoft teams about 2x a week. Nothing major. I use five9 for calls all day though 6+ hours. What would you recommend in this case?
Hi, a bit of an odd question but I was wanting some advice. So I'm looking to order this headset, currently looking between the anc and non anc version. Would there be any difference in the mic quality?
There was a recent issue with impact not working on or as well with mac products--any chance you have compared them or can? Is there any quality difference?
Hi, I just bought this headset and I am having issues with a 5-7 second delay in incoming sound before I finally hear it in the headset. This is really frustrating because I use IM a lot in my job and because there is this delay in sound, I cannot hear the IM tone when someone messages me. Is there a way to fix this? I also do not hear an incoming call coming in until 5-7 seconds after it has started ringing. I want so badly to love this headset but this is a really big problem for me 😢.
Try connecting with your computer via Bluetooth instead and see if there's any difference. Otherwise, it may be worth contacting Epos tech support to see if there's a solution.
I haven’t tested that personally yet but I’d bet it sounds much better since it’s on a Bluetooth frequency compared to dect on the SDW series. Btw if you need more noise cancellation we have a new software releasing soon to block out background noise works on any headset or mic. HTTPS://neep.com
If you are on a voip call on your pc and a call comes in on your cell that is paired, how well does it handle that? Does the ringing take over and it auto switch or does it do as well as the epos 5066? Thank you!
@@HeadsetAdvisor I know this headset from a Danny Hayasaka lawnmower video and was totally impressed. Thinking about buying one but the price keeps me back (yet). 😊
@@HeadsetAdvisor yes. Because some people are forced into using a mac and when they are doing this we then have to carry a dongle for example right now my yealink DAC headest won't work with a adaptor but it works with a dongle and I have tried 5 different adaptors and it didn't work with any of them. It's another thing to worry about and trouble shoot
Is this better than the EPOS 5000 model line if you dont need the wireless distance to be so far 3x pairing and charge stand? What’s the difference between the 1000 and 5000 range?
EPOS 5000 is made more for deskphones and computers the 1000 is computer and mobile devices. The range on 5000 is probably around 200-300 feet distance in reality and 1000 is about 50-70feet.
@@HeadsetAdvisor thank you! I actually reached out to the company's tech support late last year when I first found out about this headset and nobody there could actually answer that question.
@@HeadsetAdvisor Good point on clarification. I know the microphone is great, wondering if the added noise cancellation in your ears is worth it in the sense of using it at most in a coffee shop but usually a moderately quiet home office?
@@HeadsetAdvisor sorry, use that to send a link to my office, I hardly believe they would look at the entire video, only the tests. thanks for sharing, I got this yesterday, now all my coworkers wanted one aswell, ordered 13 today :)
