Watch Our Review Video
Prefer visuals over reading? Check out our video review where Drew tests the EPOS Impact 100’s sound quality and noise cancellation against barking dogs, crying babies, and keyboard typing. He also compares it to other budget headsets like the Yealink UH37, Jabra Evolve2 20, Poly Blackwire 5220, and Logitech H390.
Why the EPOS Impact 100 Stands Out
1. Exceptional Sound Quality
At $50-$65, you might expect mediocre audio, but the Impact 100 delivers crisp, clear, and rich voice quality that rivals headsets costing 4-5 times more. Whether you’re a marketer pitching clients or an IT pro leading a Teams meeting, your voice comes through professionally. Our tests showed it outperforms competitors in its price range, offering clarity that ensures your message is heard.
2. Advanced Noise Cancellation
Background noise like office chatter, kids, or keyboards can interrupt the flow of a call. The Impact 100’s advanced noise-canceling microphone does a great job of filtering distractions. In our video review, it handled barking dogs, crying babies and typing better than the Yealink UH37, Jabra Evolve2 20, Poly Blackwire 5220, and Logitech H390. While no headset eliminates all noise, the Impact 100’s performance is impressive for its price, keeping your calls focused.
Ultimate Noise Reduction with neep AI
For even better noise suppression, pair the Impact 100 with neep AI noise-canceling software. neep removes background noise from both your end and your caller’s, ensuring distraction-free calls. It’s affordable, easy to use, and works with any audio device. Try it free for 14 days at neep.com. For example, a remote worker using neep with the Impact 100 can block home noise during a client call, sounding professional every time even with distracting sounds going on in the background.
3. Lightweight Comfort
Comfort is key for long meetings. The Impact 100 is ultra-lightweight:
-
Mono: 1.7 oz (the weight of a slice of bread).
-
Duo: 2.6 oz (same weight as 3-4 pens).
Comparing these weights to a typical mono and duo headset is eye opening. Duo models normally weigh about 6 ounces, or even more. Mono headsets 3-4 ounces is common which means the EPOS Impact 100 is one of the lightest headsets in its class, and that feather light weight translates into a more comfortable wearing experience for you, especially on long calls.
Additional comfort features include:
-
Adjustable Headband: Fits any head size for personalized comfort.
-
Pivoting Ear Speakers: Conform to your ear angles, reducing pressure.
-
Soft Leatherette Ear Pads: Gentle on ears for all-day wear.
Whether you’re on a 3-hour Zoom call or a quick Teams meeting, the Impact 100 stays comfortable.
4. Durability for Daily Use
Don’t let the low price fool you—the Impact 100 is built to last. Its flexible headband and microphone boom can withstand twisting and heavy use, perfect for busy office environments or remote setups. You can rely on it for daily calls without worrying about wear and tear.
5. Universal Compatibility
The Impact 100 connects via USB-A or USB-C, making it plug-and-play for any computer.
The EPOS Impact 100 is compatible with all the leading UC platforms, including:
-
Microsoft Teams
-
Zoom
-
RingCentral
-
Google Meet
-
Webex
-
Dialpad
-
8x8
-
And more
Whether you’re a hybrid worker switching between devices or a team lead managing virtual meetings, the Impact 100 integrates seamlessly.
6. Convenient Inline Controller
Unlike some budget headsets with buttons scattered across the device, the Impact 100 features an inline controller for:
-
Volume adjustment
-
Microphone mute
-
Call answering/ending
-
Microsoft Teams access (Teams variant)
This keeps controls at your fingertips, saving time and reducing frustration during calls. No more feeling around to find a button on the headset.
Who’s It For?
The EPOS Impact 100 is ideal for:
-
Remote Marketers: Deliver clear client pitches on Zoom without noise distractions.
-
IT Professionals: Troubleshoot via Teams with reliable audio and comfort.
-

Comparison to Competitors

-
Poly Blackwire 5220: Reliable but pricier, and sound isn't as good.
