New H3000 Bluetooth Headset is Among First to be Certified in Intel’s “Engineered for Intel Evo Laptops Bluetooth Accessories Program”.
LAS VEGAS – Jan. 5, 2023 – Kensington®, a worldwide leader of desktop computing and mobility solutions for IT, business, and home office professionals and the professionals’ choice, today enhanced the productivity of professionals at home and in the office with the launch of the H3000 Bluetooth® Over-Ear Headset (K83452WW). One of the first headsets certified in the “Engineered for Intel® Evo™ Laptops Bluetooth accessories program,” the H3000 has been engineered to help optimize communication, entertainment, and productivity when used with Intel Evo laptops.
Designed and tested to exceed the strict requirements established by Intel for real-world features and performance, the Kensington H3000 professional Bluetooth headset is a premium over-ear headset specifically designed to optimize communications for business professionals in hybrid work environments. Whether meeting online at an office, at home, on the road, or in a public space, the H3000 combines cutting-edge AI and noise-cancellation technologies with a comfort-focused design to deliver a comfortable, premium audio experience that ensures optimal sound performance, regardless of the surrounding work environment.
Benefits and features of the H3000
- Universal Device Compatibility – Works with popular calling applications, such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet, as well as voice assistants, including Siri and Google Assistant. The H3000 supports Windows, macOS and Chrome OS, and mobile devices (iOS and Android).
- Simple Wireless Convenience – Uses multi-point Bluetooth 5.2 technology to pair with up to eight devices (with two active at one time).
- Industry-Leading Battery Life – Provides up to 60+ hours for music and up to 40+ hours for calls. Rapid Charge technology provides eight hours of use after only 15 minutes of charging, allows headset use while connected to power, and provides a full battery after 90 minutes, providing the users with all-day productivity.
- All-Day Ergonomic Comfort – Over-ear design with cooling-gel infused memory foam earpads covered in breathable heat transferring fabric, and an adjustable leatherette headband provide all-day comfort. A rotating microphone (up to 270 degrees) that can be worn on the right or left side, and rotating joints that allow the earcups to swivel up to 90 degrees, provide a comfortable, secure fit.
- Pro Noise Cancellation and Built-In Hearing Protection – Passive noise cancellation (PNC) technology maximizes productivity by blocking out surrounding noise and allowing users to stay focused. A convenient flip-to-mute boom microphone supports quick muting, and built-in hearing protection shield ears from sounds above 100dBA.
- Superior Sound Technology – AI-powered environmental noise-canceling (ENC) microphone technology ensures that the user can be heard clearly by suppressing up to 90 percent of distracting sounds such as keyboard clicks, printers and nearby voices. Sidetone assures the users they are being heard, voice guidance confirms mute status, and dynamic 40mm neodymium drivers deliver a superior audio experience with HD voice support for calls and music.
- Earcup Controls with Visible Busy Lights – Quick access to the volume, play/pause, mute and integrated busy buttons help maximize productivity, while LED lights provide reassuring visual confirmation of call status to co-workers, reducing interruptions and keeping the user focused.
- Pro Accessories – The H3000 includes USB-C to USB-A adapter, a USB-C charging cable, and a premium hard case to protect the headset when traveling.
Kensington’s focus on designing high-performance products for users of laptops based on the premium Intel Evo platform began last year with the launch of the SD5700T Thunderbolt™ 4 Dual 4K Docking Station with 90W PD and continues with the new SD5780T Thunderbolt 4 Dual 4K Docking Station with 96W PD, both of which are certified as an “Engineered for Intel Evo Thunderbolt Accessory.” The SD5700T and SD5780T Thunderbolt 4 Docking stations maximize the user experience of Intel Evo platform-verified laptops, by transforming the laptop into a complete desktop workstation. Using a single Thunderbolt 4 port on the Intel Evo laptop, the docking stations charge the laptop and enable users to instantly connect external monitors, USB devices, a full-sized keyboard and mouse, speakers, Ethernet connections, and other devices and accessories.
“We value the ongoing relationship with Intel, as it allows us to highlight the high-quality, feature-rich, performance-enhancing solutions that complement and accentuate the capabilities of Intel’s world-class Evo platform,” stated Gwen Hsu, VP of Global Product Development at Kensington. “The new H3000 Bluetooth headset has been designed and tested to meet the strict requirements of the Engineered for Intel® Evo™ Laptops Bluetooth Accessories Program to deliver an audio experience that will exceed the expectations of Intel Evo users for a complete, immersive, premium-level computing experience.”
“Users of Intel Evo platform-verified laptops demand and deserve uncompromising performance in all aspects of the experience and our accessory partners are key in extending that premium experience through device interactions,” said Jason Ziller, General Manager, Client Connectivity Division at Intel. “Certified Bluetooth accessories like the Kensington H3000 combine key functionality and capabilities, with reliability and performance to help maximize the productivity of our customers.”
