PRODUCT REVIEW
Built for the Age of AI: The EPOS IMPACT 1000 Makes Every Word Count In this day and age, getting the clarity right matters more than it ever has. Whether you are on a multi-person call or speaking quietly in a busy open-plan office, being understood the first time saves everyone the friction of repeating themselves.
That is exactly where the EPOS IMPACT 1000 makes its case. EPOS quotes a word accuracy rate higher than 99 out of 100, and across a few days of back-to- back meetings, that figure showed. My voice came through clean and naturally, even with the usual office noise carrying on around me. That accuracy matters more than just for person on the other end of the line. In a world where more of our conversations are automatically recorded and transcribed, every extra word captured correctly counts. Cleaner input means more reliable AI meeting transcriptions, fewer garbled action points, and noticeably better results when prompting tools such as Microsoft Copilot and other AI assistants by voice. Underpinning it all are EPOS BrainAdapt™ technologies, which keep listening fatigue at bay throughout the day. The IMPACT 1000
may be a product refresh but it feels like it’s a refresh with a purpose.
Flexible Connectivity for a Dongle-Free Future Connectivity is where the redesign makes its biggest change. Every variant now offers Native Bluetooth® and is certified for Microsoft Teams, giving a genuine dongle-free option. Triple connectivity links the headset to up to three devices at once and it remembers up to eight previously paired devices. For those who prefer a hardware link, an array of new options are available including a USB-C, BTD 900c dongle and adaptor which unlocks extras such as Dictation Mode, Auto Pause and Usage Mode. The IMPACT 1000 is currently certified for Microsoft Teams Open Office, Zoom, Google Meet and Webex by Cisco. Furthermore, a planned future software release that will support Microsoft Teams and Zoom over native Bluetooth will be providing professionals with an option of more flexibility and seamless integration, than ever before, via dongle-free communication.
