Dell has launched its first true wireless earbuds, the Pro Plus Earbuds (EB525), built for day-to-day calls and hybrid work. They’re the first earbuds to earn Microsoft Teams Open Office Certification, with AI-driven noise filtering, adaptive ANC and IT-friendly management tools. Middle East timing is marked as 26 September 2025.
Built for real meetings, not just music
Dell’s pitch is simple: better call quality and easier management across a distributed workforce.
- First Dell earbuds; model name EB525.
- Microsoft Teams Open Office Certification plus Zoom certification.
- Aims to cut office and home noise that derails calls.
- Centralised dashboard for configuration and firmware.
In short, these aren’t lifestyle buds with a “pro” sticker. Teams Open Office Certification is the strict one for open, noisy spaces, so if your weekly stand-up happens in a café or a hot-desk floor, this is built to keep your voice clear and IT sane.
AI microphone and adaptive ANC
Voice pickup gets the heavy lifting, backed by a large training set and on-device controls.
- AI noise-cancelling mic trained on 500+ million noise samples.
- Updates ship via Dell Display & Peripheral Manager (DDPM).
- Adaptive ANC with Enhanced Transparency Mode.
- Touch controls for ANC, transparency, volume, calls and media.
The mic is the story here. Training on hundreds of millions of noise samples suggests Dell is targeting everything from espresso machines to keyboard clatter. With DDPM handling firmware and future model tweaks, IT teams can push improvements without chasing users. ANC adjusts on the fly, and transparency lets you catch your name being called before the next “you’re on mute” moment.
Multi-device life: Bluetooth 5.3 and quick pairing
Switching between your laptop and phone shouldn’t be a mini-project.
- Bluetooth 5.3 with multi-host pairing for up to eight devices.
- Dell Pair for faster setup and smoother hand-offs.
- Dell Wireless USB-C Audio Receiver tucks into the case.
- Designed to integrate with Dell laptops, docks and software.
For UAE office setups with a Dell laptop at the desk and a personal phone on the side, this should keep you connected across both without the dreaded unpair-repair shuffle. The USB-C receiver living in the case is tidy, and it’s the sort of small quality-of-life touch that reduces “why isn’t my audio working?” tickets.
Fit, durability and carry
Little things make a big difference during long calls.
- Four ear tip sizes (XS, S, M, L) for a more precise fit.
- IP54 rating for dust and water resistance.
- Compact charging case for on-the-go use.
Most buds ship with three tip sizes; the extra XS option should help more users get a proper seal, which boosts comfort and ANC performance. With IP54 and a small case, they’re ready for the Dubai Metro, office corridors and occasional coffee spills.
Admin-friendly controls for hybrid fleets
IT still has to support all of this, and Dell’s leaning into that reality.
- Centralised dashboard covers device configuration, firmware and oversight.
- Built to simplify management in hybrid environments.
- Part of Dell’s AI-based audio portfolio.
Between DDPM updates and a single pane for status and policies, these buds are aimed at reducing support friction. If your company already runs Dell laptops and docks, the integration story should keep procurement and IT aligned instead of improvising with consumer gear.

What makes Microsoft Teams Open Office Certification different?
It’s designed for high-noise, shared spaces. Products must meet stricter mic and playback standards than basic Teams certification, so your voice cuts through open-plan chatter. The EB525 is the first earbuds to earn it.
Can IT manage settings and updates at scale?
Yes. Dell provides a centralised dashboard for configuration, firmware and fleet oversight, plus DDPM to deploy future mic and noise model updates.
How do the earbuds handle switching between laptop and phone?
They support Bluetooth 5.3, pairing with up to eight devices, with Dell Pair for fast setup and a USB-C receiver docked in the case for low-effort switching on supported Dell audio gear.
