Recent moves6 records

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft (Surface Headphones / Teams accessories): Controls the dominant UC platform (Microsoft Teams) for which EPOS certifies most of its portfolio. Surface Headphones and Microsoft-branded Teams accessories put the platform owner in direct competition with EPOS, and any change in Teams device strategy directly impacts EPOS demand.
• Logitech: Broad consumer-and-enterprise peripherals incumbent with Zone, Zone True Wireless and H-series headsets plus Rally video bars. Overlaps with EPOS in UC-certified enterprise headsets and speakerphones but operates across a much wider portfolio including mice, keyboards and webcams.
• Cisco (Webex Devices): Owns the Webex platform and sells first-party headsets and room kits (Bang & Olufsen Cisco 950, Webex Headsets). Functions as both a UC partner and a competing device vendor, which is a structural risk for EPOS's Webex-certified revenue stream.
• Sennheiser: Original joint-venture partner in the Sennheiser Communications business from which EPOS was carved out. Sells consumer and professional headphones and, since 2022, has re-entered business communications — making it both a heritage reference and a renewed competitor to EPOS in premium audio.
• Bose: Premium audio equipment manufacturer with the Bose 700 UC and QuietComfort lines targeted at professional and hybrid-work buyers. Competes with the ADAPT 600 and ADAPT 500 premium Bluetooth ANC headsets on noise-cancelling performance and brand prestige.

Direct peers

• Jabra (GN Audio): Closest direct competitor — also a Danish-headquartered enterprise UC headset and speakerphone vendor (Evolve, Engage, Speak series) certified for Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex and Google Meet. Competes head-to-head across the same contact-center, open-office and hybrid-work use cases.
• Poly (HP Poly): Enterprise headsets and video collaboration devices (Voyager, Blackwire, Savi, Studio) — the largest incumbent in the UC headset category and most direct rival in contact center and Microsoft Teams Open Office certified deployments. Now part of HP, giving it scale advantages EPOS lacks.

Emerging players

• Shure: Professional audio company (microphones, conferencing, listening products) with the MXA and Stem ecosystem targeting enterprise meeting rooms — an adjacent competitor in the speakerphone and ceiling-mic space that overlaps with EPOS's EXPAND line and critical-communications focus.
• Yealink: Chinese UC communications equipment vendor with a fast-growing enterprise headset (UH series), speakerphone and room-system portfolio. Competes aggressively on price in the same Microsoft Teams / Zoom / Webex certified segments, putting pressure on EPOS's mid-tier ASPs.

Others

• EPOS I Sennheiser (legacy gaming line): EPOS's own gaming sub-brand (formerly the Sennheiser GSP/GSX line) is the most adjacent comparable within the same corporate entity — useful as a peer reference for gaming headset ASPs, design cues, and channel relationships even though the data is internal.
