Product Information
Full details
The EPOS ADAPT 165 II is a wired stereo headset designed for professionals in hybrid work environments. Its key benefit is exceptional flexibility, offering both a 3.5mm jack and a detachable USB-C cable for seamless switching between mobile devices and computers. A potential caveat for some users might be the passive noise cancellation, which is effective for reducing ambient noise but not as immersive as active noise cancellation.

FAQs
What is the difference between the 3.5mm jack and USB-C connection?
The 3.5mm jack is a universal analog audio connector suitable for older devices and many mobile phones/tablets. The USB-C connection provides a digital audio connection, often offering higher quality and wider compatibility with modern PCs, laptops, and some mobile devices.
Does this headset have active noise cancellation?
No, the EPOS ADAPT 165 II features *passive* noise cancellation, which is achieved through the design of the earpads and their seal around the ear to block out ambient sound.
Can I use this headset for gaming?
While the headset provides clear audio and a good microphone, it is primarily designed for professional communication. Its performance for gaming may vary depending on the game's audio requirements and your specific setup.
How do I clean the earpads?
Gently wipe the earpads with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water. Avoid using any solvents or harsh cleaning agents.
Is the USB-C cable detachable?
Yes, the USB-C cable is detachable, allowing you to switch to the 3.5mm jack connection or store the headset more compactly.
What is EPOS Voice Technology?
EPOS Voice Technology is a proprietary audio technology designed to optimize voice clarity, ensuring natural sound and exceptional speech intelligibility during calls.
Troubleshooting
No audio output or input from the headset
Ensure the correct audio device is selected in your operating system and communication application settings. Check that both the USB-C cable and 3.5mm jack are securely connected.
Microphone not working or picking up too much background noise
Verify that the microphone is not muted and that it is positioned correctly. Ensure the noise-cancelling microphone is not obstructed. Check microphone settings in your application and operating system.
Audio is distorted or intermittent
Try a different USB port or 3.5mm jack on your device. Ensure the cables are not damaged. Restart your computer or mobile device.
Headset is uncomfortable to wear
Adjust the headband for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure the earpads are positioned correctly over your ears. Take breaks during extended use.
