Origins.
Sennheiser is a really well known brand founded in 1945 in a farmhouse close to Hanover, Germany. This brought to life one of the best and most successful audio specialist brand on the market. Some of their products had been on the eye spot of everyone in plain sight like for example at night clubs and concerts. DJs for example are on the need to get the best sound quality as their job is to be focused on their track while making the mix for the venue and in need of the best microphone sound quality that can block the annoying feedback while on the job and the best performance while on a concert to give the best sound quality without compromise from the microphones so all the lyrics can be understandable when in use.
Communications.
This opened a new opportunity for Sennheiser to offer their lineup, not just for this kind of duty, but in telecommunications as well. On 2023, they started a new venture with Demant, the world-leading hearing healthcare group and created Sennheiser Communications. They created their line of corded and wireless headsets for different devices such as desk phones, computers and Bluetooth enable devices. Offering the same rich sound quality of a professional concert headset and with a powerful noise canceling microphone that will let the other end of a call to understand every single word coming out from the user. One of the most classic wireless headsets from Sennheiser will be the Sennheiser D10 wireless system, and the Sennheiser HSL10 lifter.
Evolution.
On 2020, Sennheiser Communications decided to make the evolution and turned into EPOS. With this new step forward, now EPOS, a well known gaming brand headsets in the industry, offering the best sound quality for users while on-line, plus the best performance on microphones on their headsets while on use. This means real time communication over IP to end users. Thanks to this venture now EPOS can offer 2 different approaches on their products, the Enterprise Solutions division and the Gaming business segment.

Thanks to this new version of wireless headset, the lifter from Sennheiser was improved as well with the new EPOS HSL10 II lifter, that is fully compatible with any EPOS (Sennheiser included) wireless headsets and with any desk phone with a corded receiver (handset). The lifter will pick up the handset for you when you press the “answer/End” button on the headset and this will open the channel between your desk phone and your EPOS wireless headset.
