JLab Epic Work ANC is a wireless on-ear work headset with active noise cancellation, the best tier in the JLab work headset lineup. Built for professionals who spend most of their day on calls and need ANC, a stable low-latency connection, and all-day battery in one package. Hybrid ANC reduces ambient noise by up to 30dB. Be Aware Mode switches it off when you need to hear your surroundings. Five MEMS microphones with 2-mic ENC handle both ANC and call clarity.
