Introduction
Dell Pro Plus Earbuds arrive as Dell’s first true-wireless buds built specifically for hybrid work: they pack AI-trained mics for call clarity, adaptive ANC, Microsoft Teams Open Office and Zoom certification, and a compact USB-C wireless receiver — all aimed at business users. The earbuds are priced at about $229 (USD) and are already listed on Dell’s store and covered in hands-on previews.
Why it matters: employers and hybrid workers want reliable call audio in noisy places. Dell’s new EB525 Pro Plus package targets that need with enterprise management tools and hardware tuned for meeting apps — a different pitch from consumer buds that focus mostly on music.
Dell Pro Plus Earbuds launch with AI-powered noise-cancelling for video calls
Dell positions the Pro Plus Earbuds as “designed for the modern workplace,” with an AI microphone system trained on hundreds of millions of sound samples to suppress background noise during calls.
The Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and a dedicated voice isolation mode aim to keep callers audible even in open offices or cafés. Dell’s product page and early reviews highlight the mic performance as the primary selling point.

How the Dell Pro Plus Earbuds improve work calls 52
The standout feature is the AI mic system. Dell says the tech was trained on more than 500 million noise samples to better detect voices and filter non-speech sounds. That feeds into both call-time voice clarity and the ANC algorithm so background clatter is reduced for the wearer and the remote listener. Early coverage from reviewers notes the earbuds do a credible job of taming typical office noise.
Certification for Microsoft Teams Open Office and Zoom means IT teams and users can expect consistent call performance across those platforms. Dell also provides device-management features through its enterprise console so IT can push firmware updates, set defaults and track devices at scale — useful for large deployments.
Dell Pro Plus Earbuds battery and use cases for hybrid workers
Battery life is solid for a workday: Dell quotes several hours of active use per charge and extended hours with the case — adequate for back-to-back meetings without recharging. The USB-C dongle in the case is a practical touch for secure, low-latency PC audio (handy for laptops without reliable Bluetooth stacks). For call-centric users, those small workflow benefits matter.
Who should consider Dell Pro Plus Earbuds?
- Remote and hybrid workers who join many video calls and need reliable voice clarity.
- IT teams that want centralized management, firmware control and certification guarantees for Teams/Zoom.
- Business travellers wanting compact earbuds with a USB-C receiver for secure conference-room setups.
Drawbacks and what to watch
The Pro Plus are not positioned as audiophile buds; buyers seeking the best music fidelity or advanced codec support may prefer other models. Also, enterprise pricing and features mean the target buyer is a professional user or corporate procurement, not the casual consumer.
Finally, real-world ANC and mic performance will vary by environment — independent long-term tests will give the clearest verdict.
Verdict
Dell Pro Plus Earbuds bring focused, enterprise-grade features — AI-trained noise suppression, Teams and Zoom certification, a USB-C receiver and IT manageability — into a compact package priced around $229. They are a strong fit for hybrid professionals and organizations that need dependable call audio and centralized device control.
