Kensington Ergonomic Over-Ear Headset Adds Premium Audio Experience to Professional Video Conferencing Solution

Business Wire - Tue Sep 27, 2022

Kensington®, a worldwide leader of desktop computing and mobility solutions for IT, business, and home office professionals and The Professionals’ Choice, continues to expand the Kensington Professional Video Conferencing ecosystem with the launch of the H2000 USB-C Over-Ear Headset (K83451WW). Designed for professionals who make and take calls throughout the day, the H2000 USB-C headset features an ergonomic over-ear design that provides an immersive and focused experience, delivering exceptional sound, premium productivity features, and all-day comfort.

Ideal for hybrid working environments, the plug and play H2000 headset works seamlessly with Kensington’s growing Professional Video Conferencing portfolio of webcams, lighting and mounting, audio, and software products that enable users to Communicate Like a Pro, whether working at the office, home, or anywhere in between. The universal plug & play H2000 headset is compatible with popular calling applications such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet. The headset, which features a six-foot tangle-free nylon-braided USB-C cable and a USB-A adapter allows users to stand and stretch, works with Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS, for instant, seamless connectivity.

Key features and benefits of the H2000 USB-C Over-Ear Headset include:

  • Exceptional Sound Technology – Enhanced environmental noise-canceling (ENC) microphones suppress up to 90 percent of distracting sounds, such as keyboard clicks and nearby voices. Dynamic 40mm neodymium drivers deliver an exceptional audio experience with HD voice support for calls and music. Sidetone confirms the user is being heard and sound guidance confirms mute status.
  • All-Day Ergonomic Comfort– Over-ear design with cooling-gel infused memory foam earpads covered in breathable heat-transferring fabric keep the headset cool over extended periods of usage. An adjustable leatherette headband, rotating microphone (up to 270 degrees) that can be worn on the right or left side, and rotating joints that allow the earcups to swivel up to 90 degrees ensure a secure, comfortable fit.
  • Passive Noise Cancellation (PNC) and Hearing Protection – PNC technology blocks out surrounding noise to eliminate distractions and maximize productivity. A convenient flip-to-mute boom microphone provides quick muting. Built-in hearing protection shields the user from audio levels above 100dBA.
  • In-Line Controls with LED Indicators – Quick access to volume, play/pause, mute, and integrated busy light buttons put key functions at the user’s fingertips to maximize productivity. LED lights provide reassuring visual confirmation of microphone status.
  • Visible Busy Lights – Viewable from the sides of both earcups, LED indicators turn red when the microphone is active, or when the user toggles to busy using the in-line controls, alerting colleagues of the users’ status to minimize interruptions and maximize productivity.

Kensington audio solutions provide comfort, convenience, and an advanced audio experience to maximize the user’s online presence and increase productivity throughout the day.

Combined with the powerful Kensington Konnect™ software, Kensington’s webcams provide optimized resolutions, flexible mounting, privacy covers, and seamless compatibility, to deliver a professional, customized video presence.

Used in combination with webcams, Kensington’s professional lighting and mounting accessories give users the right angles, illumination, and stability to provide the ultimate video conferencing experience.

"Presenting a professional virtual presence not only requires sharp, jitter-free video performance, but also requires clear, crisp audio that is free from background noise and other distractions,” explained Ada Yang, Director of Global Product Management at Kensington. “The new H2000 delivers a solution that helps eliminate background noise and distractions from colleagues to ensure a truly professional video conferencing experience. The new headset is the latest in a series of products that have and will continue to innovate to enable users to Communicate Like a Pro from wherever they work.”

The Kensington H2000 USB-C Over-Ear Headset (K83541WW) and other products in the growing family of Kensington Professional Video Conferencing solutions are available in North America through the Kensington Store and its partner sites.
