Know before you buy
The SC 160 is designed specifically with a USB-C connector. To use it with a standard USB-A port, you would need to purchase a separate USB-C to USB-A adapter.
The microphone is designed to filter out ambient background noise, ensuring your voice remains clear during calls. While it is highly effective for standard office chatter, it is not an active noise-cancellation system for the speakers themselves.
While optimized for UC professionals and voice communication, the headset features HD stereo sound, making it perfectly capable of delivering quality audio for music and multimedia.
Yes, the boom arm is bendable to help you find the ideal microphone position. When you aren't on a call, it folds discreetly into the headband for a cleaner, more streamlined look.
The headset features an adjustable fit and is built with acoustic foam and leatherette materials. It is designed for extended use, though comfort can vary depending on your personal preference for over-ear pressure.
Yes, the ear cups are designed to fold flat, which significantly reduces the profile of the headset. This makes it easy to slide into a laptop bag or briefcase without taking up much space.
