Kensington H1050 EQ Bluetooth On-Ear Headset with Environmental Noise-Cancelling Technology

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £28.16 ex-VAT, the Kensington H1050 EQ is very much a “meetings and calls” headset, not a premium audio upgrade. The standout here is the Bluetooth convenience plus environmental noise-cancelling—useful in busy offices or when you’re sharing space with coworkers. That combo can noticeably improve call clarity compared with basic speaker-style headsets, and the on-ear design tends to be more tolerable for quick, everyday use than over-ear options for some people.

That said, at this price point you shouldn’t expect studio-grade sound or deep, aggressive noise cancelling. If you’re in a loud open-plan environment and you rely on cancelling to make background noise disappear, you may end up disappointed—noise control is helpful, but not transformative. I’d recommend it for staff who need a simple, reliable Bluetooth headset for Teams/Zoom/phone calls and don’t want to spend “serious money” per user. It’s also a decent stopgap for desks where people keep swapping devices and you want easy pairing. If you’re a heavy listener, call auditing, or working in very noisy conditions all day, you’ll likely get better results going up a level.
