Cisco Goes With B&O on 'Luxury' Headset for Hybrid Workforce

Bang & Olufsen and Cisco partnered on a “luxury business headset" for hybrid workers, they said Tuesday. The Bang & Olufsen Cisco 980, $549, has Webex integrations and adaptive noise cancellation to reduce background noise. It's billed as a “multifunctional” headset that can be used for secure video and audio conferencing, music listening and voice calls. IT administrators can deploy, manage, and view real-time analytics of the headphones, they said. Availability is slated for early 2022.
