Lenovo and EPOS have partnered to deliver "future hardware, software and services" to support excellent audio experiences in the hybrid work era.
The partnership entails EPOS becoming Lenovo's global audio partner for PC audio accessories. The shared ambition is to jointly developing hardware, software and services that provide professional audio solutions and create PC and audio ecosystems for enhanced engagement and productivity.
Eric Yu, SVP Worldwide Small and Medium Business Segment and Commercial Product Center at Lenovo IDG, commented:
Lenovo is committed to providing smart devices and solutions that enable people to work smarter and collaborate better in the hybrid world. With Lenovo and EPOS’ expertise in audio technology, we can deliver high-quality audio solutions that meet the needs of professional users who demand clear communication, seamless collaboration and optimal productivity."
The partnership has initially manifested in the shared release of Lenovo EPOS headsets certified for Teams and Zoom, intending to support professionals in hybrid work environments. They are also optimised for other UC platforms and showcase EPOS's trademark sound quality and comfort.
The Lenovo Wired VOIP Headset and Lenovo Wired ANC Headset Gen 2 professional headsets have the same form factor design and include an inline call control box for ease of use. The USB-C plug can connect to any PC, and the ear cups improve user comfort. The latter also utilises Active Noise Cancellation, providing an advanced audio experience without the distraction of ambient noise.
"At EPOS, we're committed to designing audio and video solutions that unleash human potential," said Jeppe Dalberg-Larsen, President at EPOS. "Embarking on this venture with Lenovo will help us continue to deliver on this commitment, expand our offering and reach new heights for communication and collaboration experiences. I'm very much looking forward to this new chapter of our partnership."
Furthermore, EPOS's portfolio will be included in Lenovo's third-party offering programme, granting customers a comprehensive selection of audio devices from a single source.

With a 27-inch multi-touch display at its centre, premium video and audio capabilities, and built-in compute power, the ThinkSmart View Plus is an all-in-one device intending to enhance productivity and collaboration.
