Switch and On-Ear Headset Delivers an Audio/Video Solution That
Enables Users to Maximize their Online Presence and Productivity at
Home and in the Office
Kensington®, a worldwide leader of desktop computing and
mobility solutions for IT, business, and home office professionals
and The Professionals’ Choice, today expanded the capabilities of
the Kensington Professional Video Conferencing Solution with the
introduction of the Universal 3-in-1 Pro Audio Headset Switch
(K83300WW) and H1000 USB-C On-Ear Headset (K83450WW).
The addition of the innovative Universal 3-in-1 Pro Audio
Headset Switch and H1000 USB-C On-Ear Headset complements
Kensington’s growing portfolio of webcams, Konnect™ video
conferencing software, and lighting and mounting accessories, to
provide an integrated experience that enables users to customize
and optimize their online presence and increase productivity.
Kensington Universal 3-in-1 Pro Audio Headset Switch
The innovative Kensington Universal 3-in-1 Pro Audio Headset
Switch allows professionals to use their favorite wired or wireless
headset with up to three different devices, eliminating the need
for multiple headsets and creating seamless, smooth audio
transitions between devices. The Pro Audio Headset Switch provides
users with a convenient way to switch between devices, quickly
mute, take calls, join meetings, or simply listen to music, all
through the same headset.
Features and benefits of the Pro Audio Headset Switch
include:
- Universal Compatibility – Enables Bluetooth, USB-C,
USB-A, or 3.5mm wired headsets to be used across different devices
and operating systems, including laptops, phones, and tablets. The
plug & play Pro Audio Headset Switch works with popular
videoconferencing applications such as Microsoft Teams, Google
Meet, Zoom, and Cisco Webex.
- Simple and Precise Audio Switching and Audio Controls –
Dedicated buttons enable the user to easily transition between
audio sources, with LED lights providing confirmation of the
channel and device in use. Precise switching guarantees
uninterrupted connections. Easy-to-reach volume controls and a mute
button silences microphone signals across all wired and paired
devices.
- Smart Technology – Easily transitions between audio
sources and automatically connects to one wired and two paired
(Bluetooth) devices, leveraging premium channel isolation for a
professional audio experience. Adaptive Bluetooth 5.0 connection
technology automatically remembers previously-connected
devices.
- USB-Powered – The Pro Audio Headset Switch connects to
any open USB-A or USB-C port (5V/0.9A) on a Windows or MacOS
computer or docking station to power and enable data transfer of
audio.
Kensington H1000 USB-C On-Ear Headset
A component of Kensington’s Professional Video Conferencing
Solution, the Kensington H1000 USB-C On-Ear Headset delivers
premium productivity, comfort, and durability that enables users to
Communicate like a Pro. The headset provides an advanced audio
experience with a feature set that includes a noise-canceling
microphone, LED indicators for “busy” and mute, sidetone for better
call engagement, and in-line music controls. The plug & play
headset works with popular calling applications, such as Microsoft
Teams and Zoom, and is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Chrome
OS.
Features and benefits of the USB-C On-Ear Headset
include:
- All-Day Comfort – Lightweight ergonomic on-ear design
provides a comfortable, secure fit featuring an adjustable
leatherette headband, comfortable earpads, and a microphone that
rotates up to 270 degrees and can be worn on the right or left
side.
- Advanced Sound Technology – A directional
noise-canceling (DNC) microphone suppresses distracting sounds such
as keyboard clicks and nearby voices. Sidetone confirms you are
being heard and 40mm drivers deliver an advanced audio experience
with sound guidance.
- In-Line Controls and Indicators – Quick access to the
volume, play/pause, mute, and integrated busy light buttons help
maximize productivity. LED indicators provide visual confirmation
of status, including an integrated busy light on the back of the
microphone that keeps others informed of the user’s call status to
minimize interruptions from colleagues.
- Reliable and Flexible – A long 6-foot tangle-free nylon
braided USB-C cable provides the dependability of a wired
connection and the freedom to stand and stretch during extended
calls.
“The adoption of remote and hybrid working policies have created
a new normal for businesses, and this can present a challenge for
remote workers who need to maintain a professional virtual presence
from wherever they are working,” explained Rafi Khusro, Director of
Global Product Marketing at Kensington. “We are committed to
pioneering new, integrated solutions that enable people to See and
Be Seen and Hear and Be Heard. The release of the Pro Audio Headset
Switch and USB-C headset ushers in a portfolio of great audio
solutions that enable people to sound their best regardless of
where they work.”
The Kensington Universal 3-in-1 Pro Audio Headset Switch
(K83300WW) and Kensington H1000 USB-C on-Ear Headset (K83450WW) are
backed by two-year limited warranties and are available now through
the Kensington Store and its partner sites.
