The EPOS SDW 5065 Wireless Headset Not every desk needs a mobile phone connection built into the headset. If your team works the desk phone and the computer softphone and that's the whole call flow, paying for Bluetooth mobile pairing you'll never use doesn't make sense. The EPOS SDW 5065 wireless headset is built for exactly that setup — dual connectivity to a desk phone and a PC, both ears covered, without the mobile phone hardware tacked on. It's the same double-sided, stereo shell as EPOS's SDW 5066, running on the same DECT wireless core — just without the BTD 800 Bluetooth dongle that gives the 5066 its mobile phone connection. If you don't need that third leg, the EPOS SDW 5065 wireless headset gets you the same call quality and comfort for less. Build the exact headset you need One decision to make before checkout: whether you want hands-free desk phone answering. Headset only. You'll connect to your desk phone and PC softphone, and answer desk phone calls by hand — fine if the phone's within reach. Headset + HSL10 II handset lifter bundle. The lifter raises your desk phone's handset automatically when you accept a call from the headset, so you can answer without being at your desk. How the EPOS SDW 5065 wireless headset connects The EPOS SDW 5065 wireless headset connects to two devices: your desk phone, directly through the base station, and your computer, over USB for softphone calls. That's the dual in "dual connectivity" — desk phone and PC, not desk phone and mobile. If your team needs a mobile phone in the mix, the triple-connectivity SDW 5066 adds a Bluetooth dongle for that third device; the SDW 5065 skips it. The link between the headset and its base station runs on DECT, not Bluetooth — a dedicated voice-frequency protocol that holds a clean connection out to 590 ft line of sight, or roughly 180 ft in a typical office once walls and furniture are in the way. [callout type="honest"]"Dual connect" describes desk phone plus PC — not two mobile devices. If your team needs to pair a cell phone to the headset, this isn't the model; the SDW 5066 (triple connectivity) adds that with an included Bluetooth dongle.[/callout] Stereo sound built for calls and noisy offices The double-sided, stereo design covers both ears, which matters more in an open-plan office than a spec sheet makes it sound — one ear open to the room means you're hearing the call and the office at the same time, and that split attention shows up in call quality. Two noise-cancelling microphones with own-voice detection pick your voice out of the background rather than muting everything by the same amount, and the stereo drivers double as a decent set of music headphones between calls. EPOS SDW 5065 battery life and range The EPOS SDW 5065 wireless headset runs up to 14 hours of talk time in narrowband mode. Run it in super wideband for the best call audio and expect a few hours less over a full shift — the higher-fidelity mode costs battery life to deliver clearer sound. A 30-minute charge gets you to 50%, and the headset weighs 136 g (4.8 oz), light enough that an eight-hour day doesn't turn into an ear-fatigue problem. [stat]Up to 590 ft line-of-sight range · Up to 14 hrs narrowband talk time · 136 g headset weight[/stat] Shared desks and group calls Up to four SDW 5000 series headsets can join a single base station at once — useful for pulling a colleague into a call or running a training session without a separate base for each person. Hot desking lets the headset re-pair to a different base quickly, which matters for hybrid teams that don't sit at the same desk every day. [compare] EPOS SDW 5065Dual connectivity: desk phone + PC. No mobile pairing. Lower cost for teams that don't need it. EPOS SDW 5066Triple connectivity: desk phone + PC + mobile, via included Bluetooth dongle. Same shell, same battery, adds mobile.[/compare] Security and hearing protection Calls run on 128-bit encryption with DECT Security certification and Protected Pairing, so the headset stays locked to its own base station. EPOS's ActiveGard technology caps sound pressure at 118 dB, protecting your hearing from a sudden spike on the line. This is the headset for a desk-phone-and-computer world — call center seats, reception desks, anywhere the workflow lives between two devices and a mobile connection would just be an unused feature you paid for. Skip what you don't need, keep the DECT range and stereo sound that make the SDW line worth buying in the first place.

What's the difference between the EPOS SDW 5065 and SDW 5066?Both are double-sided, stereo headsets on the same DECT base station with the same 590 ft range and battery life. The SDW 5065 connects to a desk phone and PC only; the SDW 5066 adds a Bluetooth dongle for a mobile phone connection as well. Is the EPOS SDW 5065 wireless headset certified for Microsoft Teams?This SKU is certified for Skype for Business and optimized to work with Microsoft Teams, but it doesn't carry Microsoft's formal Teams certification badge. Can more than one headset connect to the same base station?Yes. Up to four EPOS SDW 5000 series headsets can connect to a single base station for group calls or training sessions, and the headset supports hot desking for teams that rotate desks. What's included with the EPOS SDW 5065 wireless headset?The box includes the headset, base station, USB cable, power supply, and audio cable. The handset lifter is included only if you choose the bundle option.
