Audio specialists Bang & Olufsen has partnered with telecommunications company Cisco to launch the Bang & Olufsen Cisco 980 headphones. The new headphones are targeted explicitly towards hybrid workers -- i.e., those who divide their time working remotely from home and in the office.
Because of this, the new headphones boast a variety of work-oriented features such as built-in integration with the Cisco Webex platform and adaptive noise cancellation. In addition, the headphones have an innovative design that blends style and comfort. Compared to traditional workplace headsets, the Bang & Olufsen Cisco 980 headphones are lightweight and built for all-day use.
"We’re integrating Cisco’s industry-leading technologies with our renowned capabilities within sound, design, and craftsmanship to create the ultimate audio product for the hybrid world," said the CEO of Bang & Olufsen, Kristian Teär.
