EPOS is the new name of Sennheiser gaming and enterprise audio products. So although this is a new brand, it has 115 years of experience in developing audio products. The EPOS ADAPT 360 is one of 4 models in the EPOS ADAPT range. Although this is the entry model, it certainly is not an Entry product being a true business-class headset. To learn about choosing the right Headset for business, see our guide.
As a small business owner, every dollar you spend is very much your own. We like the ADAPT 360 headphones because they are just as quality music headphones as a business headset. Thus listening to your favourite tunes with these over-ear headphones would be reason enough to buy them, delivering high-quality stereo sound. With playtime over and it’s time to get down to business! These headphones become a wireless headset, enabling you to conduct clear voice calls with the added benefit of using active noise-cancelling technology to remove background noise in a busy work environment. A button can be pressed allowing a TalkThrough function which allows a face to face conversation to be had without removing the headphones. The active noise-cancelling technology enables you to commute in your own world on a bus or a plane.
The headphones can be connected to two Bluetooth devices, so you can take a call from either your mobile or participate in a video call on your PC. The ADAPT 360 headset is designed to work with Microsoft teams. When the included USB dongle is connected to your computer (Windows or Mac OS), a headphone button will instantly launch Teams. Call quality is excellent however we do not recommend using the headset in a windy environment.
The EPOS ADAPT 360 comes with a carry bag, USB C charging cable,3.5mm double ended audio cable and Bluetooth dongle. Two microphones are used for voice pickup and to control the adaptive noise cancellation. To conserve space, the headphones fold before storage in its case. We felt the case might have benefited from some padding.
Even powered off the over-ear headphones provide a level of isolation, but when powered will provide up to 46 hours of battery life (39 hours talk time – ANC off). Charging time is two and a half hours, so best done at night, and the Bluetooth range is up to 25m line of sight. Left on but not used, the headphones will stay on standby for up to 2 months.
Weighing in at 238 grams, the units are surprising light whilst appear quite rugged. They come with a 2-year warranty.
In our modern home and business blending life, the EPOS ADAPT 360 headset with its SENNHEISER heritage seems to be that perfect mix of work and play. Great sound, wireless, noise-cancelling and all day and night battery life.
