Clear Voice Delivery with Noise Suppression: Elecom Launches New Ear-Hook Wireless Headset with Charging Case for Extended Calls and Web Conferences

Elecom Co., Ltd. is set to release a new ear-hook type single-ear wireless headset in late January. This headset is designed to provide clear communication by reducing ambient noise, making it suitable for prolonged use in various settings.

This Bluetooth® compatible single-ear wireless headset features an ENC (Environmental Noise Cancelling) function, which suppresses surrounding noise to ensure clear and low-noise calls. Its ear-hook canal-type design provides a stable fit, reducing ear strain during long periods of wear. The headset can be worn on either the left or right ear.

Key Features

Noise Suppression for Clear Audio

Equipped with an ENC (Environmental Noise Cancelling) function, the headset cuts down ambient noise, delivering clear audio for smooth online communication. This feature enhances call quality during virtual meetings and voice chats.

IPX4 Water Resistance

The headset boasts IPX4 water resistance, allowing users to make calls without concern, even in light rain outdoors. (Note: This applies to the headset unit only.)

Multi-point Connectivity

Multi-point support enables simultaneous standby with two communication devices, such as a smartphone and a PC. This allows seamless switching between devices.

Optimized for Various Communication Apps

The headset has been verified for operation with various call applications, including LINE, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Cisco Webex, ensuring broad compatibility for online communication.

Comfortable and Secure Ear-Hook Fit

Stable and Lightweight Design

The ear-hook design provides a secure fit, preventing the headset from falling off and ensuring comfortable use even during extended periods. Weighing approximately 13.7g, the headset reduces ear strain during meetings and commutes.

Clear Voice with Boom Microphone
