Available now: The hybrid headset designed for life and perfected for business

The Bang & Olufsen Cisco 980 hybrid headset for today’s hybrid professional

The professional world is becoming more flexible and human centric with employees having more power over their working styles. So why shouldn’t the devices we wear while working offer the same? It’s time to look at your current hybrid headset experience and consider refreshing to something designed for today’s modern professionals.  

Employees want a headset that delivers a superior experience whether you’re taking a call from the car, your living room, or in a real office. They need best-in-class performance to tackle your workday, but also want to escape the daily chaos in comfort, stye and with a high quality immersive acoustic experience. With the goal of empowering users, we decided to work together with Bang and Olufsen to produce the Bang & Olufsen Cisco 980 headset. 

What do we mean when we say “Designed for life. Perfected for business”?

This partnership builds on the passions of both companies by bringing together Cisco’s advanced business communications, integrations, and management built within the seamless design and beautiful sound of Bang & Olufsen.  Together, we’ve created a headset experience that is flexible, inclusive, and secure while easily transitioning from work to life in style.  

The details are in the features

  • Lightweight structure with premium materials

  • 24-hour talk time
