Since March 2020, I can probably count the number of days I’ve worked in an office on my fingers. But that just means I’ve spent more time on video calls while working from home. 

The EPOS Impact 1000 is a Bluetooth headset designed for the “open office”, with ANC to deal with ambient background noises and an impressive boom mic. It’s a solid – if expensive – companion for anyone working from home as well.

Quick note: I tested the top of the line model, which included a stand and the Active Noise Cancellation.
