										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Logitech has unveiled its latest headsets designed to help workers stay focused in noisy offices.</p>
<p>The Zone Wireless 2 ES and Zone Wired 2 for Business bring adaptive noise cancellation, AI-powered microphones and gaming-inspired comfort to the workplace.</p>
<p>“Uninterrupted focus is the new currency of work,” said Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber. “Our new Zone headsets are engineered to protect concentration and reduce costly distractions.”</p>
<p>Both models feature hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) that adjusts in real time to surrounding noise. Dual AI-powered microphones filter out background chatter, keyboard clatter and other disruptions.</p>
<p>The headsets are certified for Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet, with Bluetooth call controls that free up USB ports and smart enumeration to avoid confusion over active audio sources.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-98831 aligncenter" src="https://smartoffice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/88145cf1-dda3-0a5a-a4c8-be805084356e.png" alt="" width="800" height="450" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The wired Zone Wired 2 offers the same features without the need to charge or manage connectivity in busy office setups. Logitech also provides remote firmware updates via Logitech Sync, reducing IT interruptions.</p>
<p>Comfort is a key focus. Inspired by gaming headsets, both models feature adjustable headbands, rotating earcups and reversible mic booms for long-day wear. The wireless model delivers up to 20 hours of talk time and 25 hours of listening with ANC on.</p>
<p>Personalisation is supported through Logi Tune, allowing users to adjust audio, ANC and charging settings. The headsets come in rose, off-white and graphite and are designed with sustainability in mind, using replaceable parts and recycled materials, including post-consumer recycled plastics and rare earth metals.</p>
<p>The Zone Wireless 2 ES for Business will retail for A$299.95 (Bluetooth) or A$309.95 (with receiver) from November, while the Zone Wired 2 will cost A$199.95, arriving in December.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>P<span style="font-size: inherit;">remium audio brand Integra has unveiled its all-new Professional Amplifier Series at CEDIA 2025, designed to deliver high power, reliability and streamlined integration for both residential and commercial installations.</span></p>
<div class="gdlr-blog-content">
<p>Developed in collaboration with integrators, the new range includes four Class D models all offering flexible 70V or 8-ohm configurations.</p>
<p>Each unit comes with rack-mounting options, an intuitive online setup GUI, and a five-year warranty.</p>
<p>Integra says the new line is engineered for “power and precision,” with installers able to share power between channels for maximum flexibility.</p>
<p>For example, the compact 4125DSP (A$1,900) delivers 4 x 125W in a slim half-rack design, while the flagship 8500DSP (A$6,000) pushes out up to 8 x 500W or 4 x 1000W BTL in a 2RU chassis.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-273031 size-full aligncenter" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Integra-8500DSP-Back-1.png" alt="" width="5000" height="2536" /></p>
<p>To simplify setup, the amps integrate with leading control platforms including Q-SYS, Crestron, Control4, RTI, Symetrix, AMX and URC.</p>
<p>They also feature built-in Klipsch speaker presets, offering optimised EQ, limiters, and compressors for seamless alignment with Klipsch’s CI range.</p>
<p>An optional wall-mounted Zone Controller (A$370) allows secure, real-time adjustments with a clean black or white finish to suit modern interiors.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-273024 aligncenter" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Integra-ZC1-NA-BK-Front-Screen2.jpg" alt="" width="5000" height="5000" /></p>
<p>Vincent Bonacorsi, COO of Integra, said the new lineup reflects the company’s renewed push into the custom install market.</p>
<p>“The Pro Amplifier Series is poised to make a lasting impact with performance-minded integrators,” said Bonacorsi. “This is precisely what we needed to elevate Integra’s Custom Solutions portfolio.”</p>
<p>Alongside the hardware, Integra has also launched a new Custom Integrators website, giving partners faster access to documentation and tools in the field.</p>
<p>Founded in 1969, Integra remains a key brand under Premium Audio Company Technology Center K.K., a subsidiary of Gentex Corporation.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve been reviewing the ADAPT 460T earphones whilst at work and in my downtime, and have been blown away with how comfortable they are to wear, and how effective the Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) is.</p>
<p>As you would expect from co-branded EPOS and Sennheiser product, the 460T headset offers premium quality audio. It supports AptX technology, ensuring you have excellent sound when listening wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.0.</p>
<p><strong>Microsoft Teams certification</strong></p>
<p>In particular, I noticed how clear calls sounded on the 460T. The ADAPT series of headphones from EPOS are actually Microsoft Teams certified, which not only means they had to meet rigorous standards, but it also means they’re ideal for taking Teams calls. The 460T features a handy Microsoft Teams for one-touch access – which served me well, as our workplace uses Teams for calls on days where we work from home.</p>
<p>The stunning sound clarity on calls is likely due to the patented EPOS Voice technology, which promises to deliver a clear and natural listening experience.</p>
<p>Equally, there are two beamforming MEMS microphones on the headset, allowing you to be heard clearly too.</p>
<p>Another nice feature was the subtle vibrations the neckband made to signal an incoming call. The 460T can be actively paired with two Bluetooth devices at the same time, so you’re aware of calls from either your smartphone or computer at any one time.</p>
<p>It has a range of 20 metres, meaning you don’t need to be glued to your devices either.</p>
<p>The headset can store up to 8 devices in the pairing list, which is convenient when you’ve got a whole host of different devices that you switch between. It also makes it easy for these earphones to be used for both work and play, which is particularly useful in the work-from-home COVID era.</p>
<p>[wpdevart_youtube]rkG1pHA2L9Y[/wpdevart_youtube]</p>
<p><strong>Design</strong></p>
<p>While I love my heavy duty, over-the-ear headphones, I must say that the very light ADAPT 460T headset did make for a welcome change, particularly when you’re using them all day.</p>
<p>Basically, the neckband sits over your shoulders, while the in-earphones sit snug in the ear. The whole headset weighs just 50g so you hardly notice, particularly as they provide a completely wire-free audio experience.</p>
<p>The 460T comes with four pairs of earbuds, and their soft material was very comfortable. When put in properly the earbuds and ANC together were effective at blocking out disruptive ambient sound.</p>
<p>It has an impressive battery that lasts up to 14 hours playback time with ANC on (or 13 hours of talking time with ANC on). With ANC off, you get an hour longer for both listening and talking times.</p>
<p>The headset takes two hours to charge from empty to full. While this may sound like a while, it wasn’t a problem for me, as I generally put it on charge at the end of every day.</p>
<p>I normally think enterprise-type audio headsets look funny, but the 460T is sleek and modern. It’s a great mix between wire-free and standard earphones, in that I didn’t have to worry about any cables getting twisted in my hands, but it was easy to find the earpieces if I chose to take them out of my ears for a bit.</p>
<p>It has a nice black and silver colour (at the moment this is the only colour the 460T headset is available in).</p>
<p>This case is a bit larger than it needs to be, but it is sturdy if you’re the throw-it-in-and-go type.</p>
<figure id="attachment_159912" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-159912" style="width: 4990px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-159912" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/ADAPT-460_A2_3Dview-1.png" alt="" width="5000" height="5000" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-159912" class="wp-caption-text">EPOS ADAPT 460T</figcaption></figure>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>All in all, EPOS and Sennheiser have delivered a premium audio product, and have managed to make an enterprise headset sleek and stylish. I was blown away by both the quality of sound that the earbuds delivered, as well as how well the ANC blocked out exterior sounds.</p>
<p>Although this is a pricey product, I do believe it’s a worthwhile investment if you need to make calls and attend virtual meetings while working remotely. It did significantly improve the meeting experience of Microsoft Teams calls.</p>

<p>The BlueParrott are not your normal Bluetooth headphones, they are intelligent, noise-cancelling audio devices that come in multiple forms.</p>
<p>They incorporate cutting edge noise-cancelling technology that is designed to deliver superior call quality due to a processor that is designed to take out industrial background noise.</p>
<p>In the USA where the BlueParrott range has been on sale for several years over 3 million professionals use the BlueParrott headsets.</p>
<p>This includes 6 out of 10 commercial drivers across both independent or small fleet drivers.</p>
<p>It’s also highly popular with emergency service and utility personnel who could well be up a pole fixing electricity lines.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-116850" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/blueparrott.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 887px) 100vw, 887px" srcset="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/blueparrott.jpg 887w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/blueparrott-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/blueparrott-768x513.jpg 768w" alt="" width="887" height="592" /></p>
<p>The new designs allow users to choose a wearing style and fit that gives them all-day comfort. They can also be customised to the individual using the upgraded Parrott Button.</p>
<p>Another key feature is the VoiceControl feature that delivers hands-free access to a wide range of services.</p>
<p>Multipoint Pairing means teams can seamlessly switch between two simultaneously connected devices, helping them stay productive and ensuring calls aren’t interrupted.</p>
<p>Teams can stream audio and navigation directions from any Bluetooth device and enjoy more than 24 hours talk time and Micro-USB charging to keep the conversation going.</p>
<p>The GN Group is made up of GN Hearing with the flagship hearing aid brand ReSound and GN Audio with the flagship brand Jabra, and now also including the VXi and BlueParrott brands.</p>
<p>The marriage of multiple research and development skills has allowed GN Audio to enter a market with a superior commercial headphone brand that delivers for both large enterprise organisations and small business running warehouse or manufacturing operations were hearing a call is difficult” Said Sid Rashid Asia Pacific Marketing Manager.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-116847" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/KSP4.png" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" srcset="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/KSP4.png 800w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/KSP4-150x150.png 150w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/KSP4-300x300.png 300w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/KSP4-768x768.png 768w, https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/KSP4-400x400.png 400w" alt="" width="800" height="800" /></p>
<p>The latest in the BlueParrott range is the C300 XT.</p>
<p>Among the BlueParrott noise cancelling headphones available in Australia is the all-new C300 XT. This device delivers 10 hours of battery life and 80% noise cancellation.</p>
<p>Users can talk throughout the day even when doing long shifts, you also get up to 13 days of standby time.</p>
<p>The C300-XT headset offers an integrated hardware/software solution via an open Software Development Kit.</p>
<p>This kit allows users to customise the Parrott control Button to give you one-touch access to your favourite or most used features.</p>
<p>This lightweight offering is also IP54 rated for water and dust resistance and all-day wearing, whether you work indoors or outdoors – in temperatures cold or hot.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the battle for the sound tastes of consumers intensifies and with Sonos on the back foot and desperately trying to raise funding a battle royal is set to unfold with brands who in the past have partnered set to take each other on.</p>
<p>At the same time new entrants to the sound market are now moving to a new generation of sound gear. Google is rolling out a new premium networked speaker, Apple a new range of speakers and headphones and several specialist such as the Swedish Company Audio Pro are now expanding into the premium networked sound market. The big question now is where this market is going and what will the future look like.</p>
<p>Analyst firm Canalys claims that the market will more than double in size to reach 225 million units by 2020, they are also tipping that the smart speaker market is set to approach an installed base of 100 million devices by the end of this year, making it almost 2.5 times bigger than at the end of 2017.</p>
<p>Amazon Echo devices will account for over 50 percent of the installed base in 2018, while Google’s Home series will account for 30 percent. At present, Apple’s HomePod – late entrants to the market – are trailing and will account for a meagre four percent of the 2018 base, according to Canalys.</p>
<figure id="attachment_85783" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-85783" style="width: 932px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Apple-HomePod-4.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-85783 size-full" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Apple-HomePod-4.png" alt="" width="942" height="582" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-85783" class="wp-caption-text">Apple Homepod</figcaption></figure>
<p>Multi-room audio systems, which enable consumers to play songs through mobile application, are expected to pave huge opportunities for home theatre audio systems manufacturers.</p>
<p>Integration of home audio systems with wearable devices have compelled manufacturers in developing smart and networked speakers</p>
<p>Global sales of home theatre audio systems will account for revenues worth US$9 Billion in 2017, according to a report by Persistence Market Research (PMR).</p>
<p>PMR’s report projects the global home theatre audio systems market to register 5% CAGR through 2025. Global sales of home theatre audio systems alone are estimated to reach nearly US$ 15,000 Mn in revenues by 2025-end.</p>
<figure id="attachment_92266" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-92266" style="width: 887px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/sonos-hay-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-92266 size-full" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/sonos-hay-2.jpg" alt="" width="897" height="603" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-92266" class="wp-caption-text">Sonos One</figcaption></figure>
<p>&#8220;Value&#8221; home theatre audio systems will remain sought after, based on price range while sales of premium home theatre audio systems will register the fastest growth in the Australian market, this bodes well for the likes of Denon, Marantz, Bowers and Wilkins and Harman.</p>
<p>In addition, revenues from sales of mid-range home theatre audio systems will remain comparatively higher than that of premium home theatre audio systems.</p>
<p>Mass retailers such as JB Hi Fi and The Good Guys along with Harvey Norman will remain the most lucrative sales channel for home theatre audio systems, expanding at the highest CAGR through 2025.</p>
<p>Sales of home theatre audio systems in the specialist channel are also tipped to grow by 12%.</p>
<p>By technology, Bluetooth home theatre audio systems will remain dominant in the market, followed by Wi-Fi.</p>
<p>In addition, sales of Wi-Fi and NFC home theatre audio systems are estimated to exhibit parallel expansion at 4.8% CAGR through 2025.</p>
<p>More than 40 Mn units of 9.1 channel &amp; above home theatre audio systems are expected to be sold by 2025-end, based on channel type. In terms of volume, sales of 6.1 channel home theatre audio systems will comparatively lower than other channel type segments in the market.</p>
<p>Asia-Pacific (APAC) will remain the second largest market for home theatre audio systems after the USA, closely followed by Europe. However, sales in Europe will exhibit a comparatively higher CAGR than APAC through 2025.</p>
<p>The analysts claim that increasing adoption of wireless home theatre audio systems will drive market growth in Australia, Increasing adoption of wireless home theatre audio systems equipped with features such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will also deliver growth for retailers.</p>
<p>Specialist sound dealers are witnessing a rise in technological advancements, transforming the way in which music is played. The biggest issue for these dealers is the cost of marketing to bring consumers into their stores, e/marketing and effective web site operations coupled with regular EDM campaigns are critical if the specialist channel is to stay competitive and above all a relevant place to shop say analysts.</p>

<p>Key market players identified in PMR’s report include Bose Corporation, Harman International Industries, Yamaha Corporation, Sony Corporation, LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, Pioneer Corporation, Sound United LLC, Philips, Bowers &amp; Wilkins, Pioneer Corporation, Bang &amp; Olufsen, Braven LC, as well as Apple, Google and Amazon.</p>
<p>“The US is the world leader in smart speaker adoption,” said research analyst Vincent Thielke. “Amazon and Google know the power of an ecosystem lock-in and have been engaged in a fierce price war to try and build the largest installed base.</p>
<p>“As Amazon’s Prime Day looms, customers expect discounts, and the company is set for a rush of shipments.”</p>
<p>Amazon and Google will take their devices beyond the smart home and deploy them in a range of new scenarios, he added. “Their business development teams are targeting commercial opportunities, such as hotels, offices, gyms, and airports, with initiatives such as Amazon’s Alexa for Business and Alexa for Hospitality.</p>
<p>“These deployments are a major opportunity for the IT channel to develop solutions and provide technical skills and services that customers may lack.”</p>
<p>“In the second half of 2018, sales promotions will be an important driver, as vendors anticipate a surge of shipments during the December January peak shopping period.</p>
<figure id="attachment_90544" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-90544" style="width: 1041px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/google-home-max-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-90544 size-full" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/google-home-max-1.jpg" alt="" width="1051" height="439" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-90544" class="wp-caption-text">Google Home Max</figcaption></figure>
<p>Growth creates growth</p>
<p>“The rapid growth of the smart speaker installed base is itself a growth driver,” added Canalys analyst Ben Stanton. “Amazon and Google are desperate to prove the scale and reach of their platforms to developers.</p>
<p>“As the Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant speaker installed bases grow, the companies can make a more compelling case. And as developers invest in voice and try to cash in on the creation of new experiences, smart speaker adoption will grow.</p>
<p>“The battle for developers’ attention is vital for Google and Amazon. It will determine the speed at which they can appeal to new demographics, move into new industry verticals, and gain traction in new countries.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Expanding its portfolio of business audio tech, Jabra has released its new &#8216;Engage&#8217; professional headsets in Australia, claimed to feature &#8220;first of their kind&#8221; noise cancelling microphones.</p>
<p>Claimed to be the &#8220;world&#8217;s most powerful professional wireless headsets&#8221;, Jabra&#8217;s Engage range will land in Australia on April 13th for A$638 &#8211; A$770 <em>(pricing below).</em></p>
<p><a href="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Jabra-Engage-75-Stereo_Male-and-female_small-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-91994 aligncenter" src="https://www.channelnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Jabra-Engage-75-Stereo_Male-and-female_small-1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /></a></p>
<p>The new Engage headsets are said to significantly improve the quality of customer calls, and thereby reduce organisational expenses.</p>
<p>Jabra claims the new headsets allow more employees to seat closer together <em>(&#8216;user density&#8217;),</em> without compromising call quality &#8211; thereby a reduction in operating costs.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The new Engage headsets are designed for &#8220;the modern office&#8221;, fused with improved security features, long-range mobility (up to 150m) and reportedly three times user density compared to rival devices.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JsdSCfQIQ_I" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>The company claims its Engage headsets provide the &#8220;highest level of security&#8221; found in any wireless headset on the market.</p>
<p>The product facilitates enhanced authentication and encryption, alongside &#8216;physical assisted pairing&#8217; to create a &#8216;secret-link&#8217; between a headset and its docking base unit.</p>
<p>Creating an &#8220;entirely new class&#8221; of DECT wireless professional headsets, the range is said to have involved over 115,000 hours of development, and the registration of four patents.</p>
<p>Jabra&#8217;s 65 and 75 Engage headsets feature an &#8220;all day battery&#8221; of between 9 &#8211; 13 hours, with a rapid charge option.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jabra has expanded its Evolve range of headsets designed for professional use with a new pair of wireless earbuds.</p>
<p>The Jabra Evolve 75e are the first earbud-style headphones in the Evolve range, which Jabra launched in 2014 to help prevent noise and interruptions from effecting office productivity using features like Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and compatibility with busylight.</p>
<p>Research has indicated that noise impacts the personal productivity of 78% of flexible workers.</p>
<p>“The headset has been designed to meet the needs of today’s mobile and increasingly connected worker who demands the same user experience from both consumer and professional solutions,” said Jabra SVP Holger Reisinger.</p>
<p><a href="https://staging.strixdevelopment.net/smartoffice/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Jabra_Evolve_75e_2_-1.png" rel="attachment wp-att-95557"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-95557" src="https://staging.strixdevelopment.net/smartoffice/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Jabra_Evolve_75e_2_-1.png" alt="" width="900" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>Along with ANC, the Jabra Evolve 75e also feature unified communications (UC) certifications for “bridging the gap between mobile phone and computer” and to enable high quality conference calls.</p>
<p>“Jabra’s innovative microphone technology, in combination with Active Noise Cancellation, allow for full concentration whilst delivering exceptional sound quality and enabling true mobile productivity. Probably the first product of its kind, the wireless UC-enabled office earbuds are sure to drive the adoption of unified communications,” Reisinger said.</p>
<p>The Jabra Evolve 75e will launch in Q1 2018, with pricing to be announced closer to launch. More information can be found on <a href="http://www.jabra.com/evolve75e">the Jabra website</a>.</p>
