EPOS IMPACT 860 ANC — Double-Sided Wired USB-C Headset with Hybrid Adaptive ANC
Hybrid adaptive ANCFour digital MEMS microphones360° busylightSuper-wideband voice to 16 kHz
The EPOS IMPACT 860 ANC is a double-sided wired headset for people who spend the day on calls in a room they cannot quiet down, and part number 1001174 is the UC-optimised version. It runs entirely off the USB cable — nothing to charge, nothing to pair — while delivering hybrid adaptive active noise cancellation on your ears and a four-microphone digital MEMS array with EPOS AI adaptive beamforming on the boom. The microphone reaches 16 kHz, which EPOS calls super-wideband and which is audibly closer to the person actually speaking. A 360-degree busylight keeps colleagues from interrupting.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Two limits decide this purchase. First, the connection is USB only: USB-C on the cable with a USB-C to USB-A adaptor supplied, and no 3.5 mm jack at all. It cannot plug into a desk phone headset port, an analogue console or a phone with only a 3.5 mm socket. Second, this article is optimised for UC but not certified for Microsoft Teams and has no Teams button — the Teams-certified version is the IMPACT 860T ANC, article 1001177. If a listing anywhere claims Google Meet certification for this part, note that EPOS publishes no such certification for the IMPACT 800 series. Tell us your platform and how the headset needs to connect, and we will confirm the article number.
Best For
✓ Loud open-plan offices where passive isolation is not enough
✓ All-day softphone work with no battery to manage
✓ Users who want on and off-head detection to handle calls for them
✓ Contact centres that standardise on USB rather than desk phones
✓ Teams needing central management through EPOS Manager
✓ Anyone who wants ANC without going wireless
Key Features
Hybrid adaptive ANC, not a marketing label
EPOS publishes the noise cancellation as hybrid and adaptive, meaning it uses microphones inside and outside the cup and adjusts to the room rather than applying a fixed amount. This is the feature that separates the ANC article from the plain IMPACT 860.
Four microphones and AI beamforming
Four digital MEMS elements with EPOS AI adaptive beamforming, covering 100 Hz to 16 kHz. The plain IMPACT 860 has three; the fourth is part of what the ANC version buys you, and the effect is on what the far end hears as much as what you do.
Call control without touching a button
Move the boom arm to answer, end or mute, and the headset detects when you take it on or off. There is no dedicated Teams key on this variant — the controls are physical, which most people find faster.
A 360-degree busylight and hearing protection
The busylight is visible from every angle, so the room can see you are on a call. EPOS ActiveGard guards against sudden acoustic bursts and an EU Noise at Work limiter holds the average at 85 dB across a working day.
Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
The IMPACT 800 line is only four article numbers and they vary on exactly two axes: ANC or not, Teams or UC. That sounds simple until two of them arrive on the same desk looking the same. This one is ANC, UC. If your office lives inside Microsoft Teams, order 1001177 instead — the certification is not something a firmware update adds later. The genuine engineering argument for this headset is that it delivers adaptive ANC and a four-mic array without a battery: for a contact centre or a shift-based desk, a headset that is always charged because it is always plugged in removes a whole class of daily problems. Worth noting for anyone comparing spec sheets: EPOS does not publish a driver size or a maximum SPL figure for this series, so any number you see quoted elsewhere is not coming from the manufacturer. Compare it against the rest of our office and VoIP headsets, or the speakerphone range for shared rooms.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You want genuine adaptive ANC and a four-microphone array on a headset that never needs charging, on Zoom, Google Meet, Webex or any mainstream softphone. 189 g, a 1.85 m USB-C cable, a 360-degree busylight and boom-arm call control.
Skip it if
Your office runs Microsoft Teams — take 1001177, the certified 860T ANC. Skip it too if you need a 3.5 mm connection for a desk phone or console, because this model has none, or if a single-ear headset is what the job calls for.
Also consider
The IMPACT 860T ANC (1001177) for Teams certification, the plain IMPACT 860 (1001176) if you do not need ANC and want to spend less, or the EPOS ADAPT 261 if wireless matters more than noise cancellation.
