    Ultra clear, noise-free calls

    With Precise Voice Pickup Technology and advanced audio signal processing, the person on the other end of the call will hear your voice clearly, even when you are in noisy situations. Our noise reduction algorithm was developed with AI machine learning using more than 500 million voice samples to suppress ambient noise and extract your voice clearly in a wide range of environments. [1 = With noise, 2 = Without noise].

    All day comfort with a noiseless design

    Adaptive Sound Control automatically adjusts to whatever you do

    Adaptive Sound Control automatically adjusts to whatever you do

    Adaptive Sound Control is a smart function that senses where you are and what you’re doing, then adjusts ambient sound settings for the ideal listening experience. When activated, it learns your behaviour and recognises locations that you frequently visit, such as your workplace or a favourite café, and tailors sound to suit the situation.

    For everyday convenience, just Speak-to-Chat

Once your chat is over, your music starts playing again automatically.
