The EPOS SDW 5066 wireless headset covers both ears instead, so the keyboard clatter, the conversation two desks over, and the HVAC hum stay outside while you're on a call — and it still gives you the same desk phone, PC, and mobile phone connectivity as the rest of the SDW 5000 line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the binaural, stereo sibling to EPOS's single-sided SDW 5036 — same base station, same DECT wireless core, same triple-device flexibility, just built for people who want both ears covered rather than one ear free for the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuild the exact headset you need\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne real decision to make before checkout: whether you're answering the desk phone hands-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadset only.\u003c\/strong\u003e You'll connect to your desk phone, PC, and mobile phone, and pick up desk phone calls by hand — fine if the phone's within reach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadset + HSL10 II handset lifter bundle.\u003c\/strong\u003e The lifter raises your desk phone's handset automatically when you accept a call from the EPOS SDW 5066 wireless headset, so you can answer hands-free even if you're not standing right at your desk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the EPOS SDW 5066 wireless headset connects to three devices\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EPOS SDW 5066 wireless headset links to its base station over DECT, not Bluetooth — a dedicated voice-frequency protocol that holds a stable connection out to 590 ft line of sight (roughly 180 ft in a typical office once walls and furniture come into play). Bluetooth only enters the picture for the mobile phone leg, handled by the included BTD 800 USB dongle plugged into the base station. Your desk phone connects to the base station directly, and your computer connects over USB for softphone calls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n[callout type=\"honest\"]In HeadsetPlus's own testing of the SDW 5066, the DECT connection to the base station held up well, but the Bluetooth pairing to a mobile phone was the weaker link of the system — normal for a dongle-based Bluetooth setup, and worth knowing if your team leans heavily on the mobile connection specifically.[\/callout]\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStereo sound built for both calls and music\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the EPOS SDW 5066 is stereo rather than mono, it doubles as a genuinely usable pair of headphones between calls — HeadsetPlus's hands-on review specifically called out strong sound quality streaming music from a PC, ahead of rival headsets it was tested against in the same review. For calls, the dual noise-cancelling microphones with own-voice detection technology pick your voice out of the room rather than just turning everything down evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEPOS SDW 5066 battery life and range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EPOS SDW 5066 wireless headset runs up to 14 hours of talk time in narrowband mode, or up to 9 hours if you're using super wideband audio — the higher-fidelity mode draws more power, so budget a few fewer hours on a heavy call day. A 30-minute charge gets you back to 50%, and the headset weighs 136 g (4.8 oz), light enough for an eight-hour shift without ear fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n[stat]Up to 590 ft line-of-sight range · Up to 14 hrs narrowband talk time · 136 g headset weight[\/stat]\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe busy light is more useful than a status LED usually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated busy light on the EPOS SDW 5066 changes color by context rather than just switching on and off — red while you're on a call, purple when it's connected to your computer, blue while charging, and a flashing blue when a call is coming in and you've stepped away from the desk. That last one is the detail that actually saves a missed call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShared desks and group calls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHot desking lets the headset pair to a different base station quickly, useful for hybrid teams that don't sit in the same seat every day. Separately, up to four SDW 5000 series headsets can join a single base station at once, so a colleague can be pulled into a call without needing their own base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n[compare]\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDECT (headset ↔ base station)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDedicated voice frequency, longer reliable range, holds up well in crowded office RF environments.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth (base station ↔ mobile phone)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStandard dongle-based pairing for the mobile leg only — solid, but the more variable connection of the two.\u003c\/div\u003e[\/compare]\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSecurity and hearing protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalls run on 128-bit encryption with DECT Security certification and Protected Pairing, keeping the headset locked to its own base station. EPOS's ActiveGard technology caps sound pressure at 118 dB, so a sudden volume spike on the line doesn't hit your ear at full force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne honest note from HeadsetPlus's own review: the ear cups don't fold flat, and the headband runs a little snug for larger heads — worth knowing if portability or an especially roomy fit matters to you. Everything else about the build held up well under daily office use, and if you need one ear free instead of both covered, the single-sided SDW 5036 is the direct alternative in the same series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-tab=\"whats-in-the-box\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEPOS IMPACT SDW 60 HS headset (binaural, stereo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEPOS IMPACT SDW 5 BS base station\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBTD 800 USB Bluetooth dongle (for mobile phone pairing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick start guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHSL10 II handset lifter — included only with the bundle option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-tab=\"specifications\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWearing style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBinaural, stereo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e136 g \/ 4.8 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWireless technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDECT (headset to base station), Bluetooth via included BTD 800 dongle (mobile)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 590 ft line of sight, up to ~180 ft typical office environment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTalk time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 14 hrs narrowband, up to 9 hrs super wideband\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCharge time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~90 min full charge, 50% in 30 min fast charge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrophone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual noise-cancelling microphones with own-voice detection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150 Hz – 11 kHz (super wideband)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecurity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e128-bit encryption, DECT Security certification, Protected Pairing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHearing protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEPOS ActiveGard, SPL capped at 118 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriple: desk phone, PC\/softphone (USB), mobile (Bluetooth dongle)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertified for Skype for Business, optimized for Microsoft Teams and other UC platforms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-tab=\"compatibility\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoftware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Managed and configured through EPOS Connect for individual users, or EPOS Manager for IT admins deploying and monitoring headsets across a team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects to a desk phone via the base station (handset lifter or electronic hook-switch cable sold separately, or included in the bundle option above), to a PC or Mac via USB for softphone calls, and to a mobile phone via the included BTD 800 Bluetooth dongle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlatforms:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified for Skype for Business and optimized for Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and other major UC and softphone platforms.
