JLab Epic Work ANC is a wireless on-ear work headset with active noise cancellation, the best tier in the JLab work headset lineup. Built for professionals who spend most of their day on calls and need ANC, a stable low-latency connection, and all-day battery in one package. Hybrid ANC reduces ambient noise by up to 30dB. Be Aware Mode switches it off when you need to hear your surroundings. Five MEMS microphones with 2-mic ENC handle both ANC and call clarity. The bendable boom mic positions close to your mouth for consistent call quality and rotates up to Quick Mute instantly. Mic monitoring lets you hear your own voice through the earcups during calls. The included charging dock is a 2-in-1 system - it charges the headset and adds a USB-C hub port to your desk setup simultaneously, so one cable keeps both your headset topped up and your devices connected. Connect via USB-C dongle at 50ms latency, wired via USB-C, or via Bluetooth Multipoint to two devices at once. Both Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair supported. Support protocols: HSP/HFP/A2DP/AVRCP. Compatible with iOS and Android, including Siri and Google Assistant. Battery life sits at 90 total hours with ANC off (60 hours with ANC on) and 30 hours of talk time, with standby exceeding 300 hours. Quick charge gives you 6 hours of playback from 10 minutes of charging. Faux leather ear cushions. Button controls.

I'm on calls for hours every day, and these stay charged without issue thanks to the long battery life. The boom mic makes my voice sound professional, and the Quick Mute feature is super handy when someone walks into my office. It's a noticeable upgrade from my old earbuds.
The ANC really blocks out office chatter, letting me concentrate on my tasks. I appreciate the Be Aware mode when I need to quickly chat with a colleague nearby.
The audio is clear and the noise cancelling works well to drown out background noise during calls. My only complaint is that the earcups are a bit small for my ears, making them feel a little snug.
Great sound and mic clarity, but the charging dock takes up more desk space than I expected.
The earcups press too tightly after about an hour of use, causing discomfort.
