Designed for UC professionals who demand reliability, comfort, and superb audio during back-to-back calls and collaboration sessions, this USB-C headset delivers enterprise-grade performance without complexity. It offers a sleek, modern silhouette with soft leatherette ear cushions, an adjustable headband, and a reinforced cable that stays comfortable and durable through long workdays. With Microsoft Teams certification and UC optimization, it seamlessly aligns with the leading collaboration platforms—so you can focus on dialogue, not devices. Whether you’re in the office, at home, or on the move, the ADAPT 160T USB-C II provides immersive stereo sound for music, training, and multimedia, along with a precise, noise-reduced microphone that keeps your voice clear and natural in every conversation.

Engineered for hybrid workflows, the ADAPT 160T USB-C II balances form and function to support a wide range of tasks. The double-ear design helps reduce ambient distractions while maintaining situational awareness, making it ideal for teams that rely on quick chats, conference calls, and collaborative sessions. The headset’s USB-C connectivity ensures effortless plug-and-play compatibility with the latest laptops, tablets, and many smartphones, enabling a smooth path from desk to meeting room or coffee shop. If your organization relies on Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco Webex, or other UC platforms, you’ll appreciate the headset’s optimized performance and consistent audio that professionals demand. The ADAPT 160T USB-C II is not just about talking; it’s about delivering a richer audio experience that supports productivity, focus, and wellbeing during long work hours.

In terms of sound, you’ll experience wideband stereo with balanced audio for voices and multimedia. Whether you’re presenting a project update, reviewing documents with teammates, or listening to a training video, the audio remains natural and clear. The integrated microphone features noise reduction and a flexible boom design so you can adjust it for optimal voice pickup while staying away from your mouth’s proximity effects. In busy open-plan spaces or noisy home offices, the microphone helps minimize background noise so your colleagues hear you more clearly. For meetings, the Teams-certified status ensures compatibility with meeting policies, devices, and features, while UC optimization improves call quality, prioritizes voice traffic, and reduces latency on supported platforms. The result is a dependable, all-day headset that reinforces professional communication in any environment.

The ADAPT 160T USB-C II is built with comfort in mind for long hours of wearing. The lightweight, low-profile frame reduces fatigue, and the plush ear cushions seal gently around the ears for passive sound isolation. The adjustable headband accommodates different head sizes and wearing preferences, whether you prefer a snug fit or a looser feel during extended sessions. The cable is designed to resist tangling and fatigue, so you won’t be distracted by frayed lines or micro-movements during calls. In addition, the in-line controls give you easy access to mute, volume, and call answer/end without needing to touch your computer or your mobile device. This combination of comfort, durability, and intuitive controls helps you stay focused on tasks rather than on your gear, which is essential in a fast-paced hybrid workplace.

How to install EPOS ADAPT 160T USB-C II

Step 1: Plug the USB-C connector into a suitable USB-C port on your computer, tablet, or compatible mobile device. If your device has multiple USB-C ports, any port should work, but you may achieve optimal performance from a dedicated USB-C port.

Step 2: Allow the operating system to recognize the headset. In most cases, the ADAPT 160T USB-C II will be detected automatically as a USB audio device. If prompted, select EPOS ADAPT 160T USB-C II as the default audio device for both playback and recording.

Step 3: Position the headset for comfort. Adjust the headband to fit your head size, and align the microphone boom close to the mouth without causing breathing noise. Check that the ear cushions sit flush around the ears to maximize passive noise isolation while maintaining comfort.

Step 4: Test the microphone and speakers in your preferred collaboration software. Make a quick test call or use a built-in test feature to ensure your voice is clear and the other side can hear you well. Use the inline mute and volume controls during the test to confirm they respond as expected.

Step 5: If you use Microsoft Teams, verify meeting devices settings within Teams to route audio through the EPOS headset. For other UC platforms, select the EPOS device in the audio settings to ensure consistent performance across calls and conferences.

Step 6: Customize fit and settings as needed. If your environment changes (e.g., moving from a quiet office to a noisy open area), adjust the mute and mic position, and consider enabling any software-enhanced features offered by your UC platform to improve call quality.
