DW Office™ - All New DECT Comfort Calls Headset

Meet DW Office, the all new single-sided DECT headset designed for busy office professionals who need to keep in touch with customers and colleagues safely and securely. Using breakthrough technology and the legacy of decades of experience in electro acoustics and hearing healthcare, Sennheiser Communications has designed this all-new headset to ensure that every call you make is so comfortable you'll forget you're wearing it!

Sennheiser Communications is proud to announce the launch of DW Office, a
state-of-the-art DECT wireless addition to our existing portfolio of "Comfort calls" wired and Bluetooth® headsets. As you would expect from one of the leading
providers of quality, highly ergonomic headsets, we have listened carefully what
the market has to say about the key to successful communication in the office
environment. Aimed at professionals who need a flexible yet fail-safe wireless
solution that is supremely comfortable to wear and intuitive to use, DW Office boasts an enviable range of attractive and innovative features which allow users
to perform at their best.

DW Office—Sennheiser Communications adds wireless DECT to existing portfolio of "Comfort Calls" headsets.

Head of Sales & Marketing Guido Karbautzki says: "DW Office synthesizes the best elements of design, functionality and flexibility in one attractive wireless 'Comfort calls' solution. Based on proven DECT communication technology, this ultra-comfortable and lightweight headset with its stylish and advanced base station is the perfect companion to a desk phone and soft phone in any office environment."

We listened to the market

When we asked busy office professionals for their thoughts on a DECT headset they told us that they wanted: To be able to move freely about without any wires to hold them back, simplicity of use, quick and intuitive pairing for conference calls and desk sharing, high-end sound quality, comfortable wearing style, functional design, full workday talk time, and fast charging. Naturally, we listened carefully to the market and have incorporated all these elements, and much more, in DW Office. Last but not least, we've made DW Office easy to install with little time required to figure out
how to operate all its many functions. In short: You can start making "Comfort calls" immediately.

So comfortable you'll forget you're wearing it

Sennheiser Communications believes passionately that comfort and good
ergonomic design are keystones to the production of a world class headset. We've designed DW Office so you can choose between ear hook and headband wearing style with the option to personalize the headset for wearing on either the left or right ear—leaving you free to move around the office while you communicate in
comfort throughout the day.

Sophisticated simplicity

Simplicity of design is something many users have been asking for in a DECT
solution. Sennheiser Communications answer is a headset that fits as comfortably and seamlessly onto your ear as your ear does to your head.
Wearing style—either headband or ear hook—on either ear was another priority.
As a vital part of the total solution we also designed the DW Office base station
as a cube, which doesn't take up a lot of space on your desk. The base station is
both stylishly designed and easy to handle, with the front displaying information including call channel and charging status of the headset as it charges automatically in the magnetic cradle.

Sound investment for the future

Yes, you heard us right. We have poured everything we know into making sure that DW Office fulfils all your wireless office communication needs, providing you with
a great investment, both today and in the future. That's why we've built in the
very latest telecoms technology into our DECT solution. DW Office supports both traditional narrowband as well as wideband, switching seamlessly between the two. Using intelligent speaker technology as well as a microphone designed to meet the wideband TIA 920 standard, DW Office is specifically designed to improve overall call quality when connected to a wideband supported communications line. Now that's what we call a sound investment!

ActiveGard™ always on duty

At Sennheiser Communications we're passionate about sound. Your comfort
and safety mean the world to us. That's why all our office headsets are equipped with our innovative ActiveGard™ technology to safeguard you against hazardous incoming noises that can be dangerous to hearing. We don't want to have to scream "Comfort calls" at the top of our voices to get the benefits of DW Office across, but at least you know that with ActiveGard™ you'd be protected if we did.
