About Bose

Bose Work solutions bring the simplicity and clarity of Bose to conferencing and unified communications. From desktop and mobile conferencing products, to all-in-one innovations for huddle spaces, to fully integrated systems for meeting rooms, Bose Work solutions help keep the whole team on the same page.

In the modern workplace, collaboration means conferencing. Bose Work all-in-one products — such as the Bose Videobar VB1 — simplify huddle spaces and make it easier for teams to work together and feel like they’re in the same room. Automatic beam-steering mics actively focus on voices in the room and reject noise. Bose-proprietary transducers produce rich sound. And a 4K, ultra-HD camera delivers crystal-clear video so nobody misses out on important whiteboard details.

Today the workplace is every place: office, home, car, and coffee shop. Bose desktop and mobile conferencing products, such as Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 UC, help remote workers and cubicle conferencers feel more engaged and collaborate with confidence. The headphones’ adaptive eight-microphone system helps you turn any space into a meeting place. These microphones isolate your voice, so you sound like yourself, and they actively hunt down and reject noise, so you hear all the important details.

Design fully integrated, high-performance systems that blend in aesthetically and support the most demanding meeting rooms. With loudspeakers designed for vocal intelligibility and processors featuring specialized conference room algorithms, our solutions deliver crystal-clear spoken word for those in the room and optimized audio processing so remote participants can hear better. ControlSpace EX conferencing processors offer a flexible, open architecture to support a wide variety of integrated-microphone audio conferencing applications.
