One EPOS D10 II headset, two bases Outfitting an office with a mix of desk-phone users and computer-based softphone users usually means stocking two completely different wireless headsets, with two different spare-parts lists to manage. The EPOS Impact D10 II breaks that assumption — the headset itself is identical across both versions; only the base station it pairs with changes what it connects to. It's a convertible wireless DECT headset, worn as an ear hook or a full headband, with a noise-canceling microphone, EPOS ActiveGard protection against sudden sound spikes, and a 2-year warranty. It comes two ways: the USB ML version, which pairs with a computer and is Microsoft Teams certified, and the Phone version, which pairs directly with a desk phone. Both roam up to 590 feet line of sight, or around 200 feet through a typical office layout. Build the exact EPOS Impact D10 II you need Two versions, and the choice comes down to what's on your desk — a computer running a softphone, or a traditional desk phone. USB ML — for computer and Microsoft Teams (1000999). Pairs with a PC via USB base station, Microsoft Teams certified, and includes a built-in ringer with selectable tones since there's no physical phone to ring. Answering happens through the softphone software — no lifter needed, ever. Phone — for desk phones (1000996). Pairs directly with a desk phone's handset port. Roams and stays connected mid-call on its own, but answering or ending a call from away from the desk requires a separately sold HSL10 lifter or EHS cable. Does the EPOS D10 II need a lifter to answer calls? It depends entirely on which version. The EPOS Impact D10 II Phone needs a separately sold HSL10 handset lifter or EHS cable to answer or end calls hands-free away from the desk — without one, you can roam once a call is connected, but someone still has to start it at the phone. The USB ML version needs no lifter at all, because it connects to a computer softphone rather than a physical handset — the answer button works through software from anywhere in range. [callout type="honest"]This distinction gets confused often enough that it's worth stating plainly: a lifter or EHS cable is a Phone-version accessory only. If you're buying the USB ML version for Microsoft Teams or another softphone, don't add a lifter to your cart — it does nothing there, since there's no handset for it to lift.[/callout] One headset works on both bases [card title="A single spare part for a mixed office"]The physical EPOS D10 II headset — the part that goes on your head — is the same unit whether it's paired to the USB base or the Phone base. That means an IT team running both versions across an office can standardize on one spare headset for repairs or replacements, rather than tracking two separate SKUs. Swap the headset onto whichever base needs it and it pairs automatically.[/card] How long does the EPOS D10 II battery last? The EPOS Impact D10 II is rated for up to 12 hours of talk time — but that figure is measured in narrowband mode. Switch to wideband, the higher-quality HD audio setting, and real-world talk time drops to closer to 8 hours. A full charge takes about an hour, so a lunch-break top-up recovers most of a shift either way. Convertible: ear hook or headband, 22g or 50g [stat]22 g (ear hook) / 50 g (headband)[/stat] The EPOS D10 II ships convertible — wear it as a lightweight ear hook at 22 grams, or the more secure over-the-head band at 50 grams. Both styles fit either ear, and switching between them takes seconds since it's the same headset, just reconfigured. Roam up to 590 feet, hear every word Built on DECT 6.0 wireless technology, the EPOS D10 II is rated for up to 590 feet line of sight, and around 200 feet through the walls and furniture of a typical office — enough to take a call to a conference room or a break area and stay connected the whole way. ActiveGard technology guards against sudden loud spikes reaching your ears through the line. [compare] USB ML — for computersPairs with a PC, Microsoft Teams certified, built-in ringer. Software-based answering, no lifter ever needed. Phone — for desk phonesPairs directly with a desk phone. Roams mid-call freely; needs an HSL10 lifter or EHS cable for hands-free remote answering. [/compare] The EPOS D10 II is the headset for an office that doesn't want to choose between mobility and simplicity — a convertible fit that adjusts to how you actually want to wear it, range that survives a walk to the next room, and a base-station design that lets the same headset serve a desk phone user today and a softphone user tomorrow. Pick the version that matches what's on the desk, and it's ready to pair the moment it's out of the box.
