Product features

• Mute and unmute yourself automatically
  Have you ever been caught in a situation where you have spent the critical opening moments of your business pitch for the latest project describing your ideas, only to realize you were on mute? The VoiceDetect feature controls your mute status by voice detection as you speak - your microphone gets muted automatically when you stop speaking, and unmutes you instantly as you start speaking. There is absolutely no need to fiddle with any buttons - physical or in-app - so you can on track with your train of thought during the pitch. If you need to talk to someone on the side, disable the VoiceDetect feature temporarily by manually pressing on the physical mic mute button, and reactivate the VoiceDetect feature by pressing on the same button.
• Two-way noise cancellation
  Noise is the enemy of all calls - whether it's happening in your surrounding or coming from your co-workers - it's equally disruptive. Here's the thing: the common solutions available in the market are either headsets with noise-canceling microphones, or standalone microphones that reduces your background noise pickup. These solutions have 2 things in common - they are expensive, and they only reduce noise happening in your own background. But what if it is your colleague's background noise that's driving you insane? Creative Technology has the perfect fix with the NoiseClean features that reduces static background noises from both ends - incoming and outgoing audio - of the conversation.
• NoiseClean
  NoiseClean-in analyzes your incoming audio (imagine a colleague with a noisy background in your video call), detecting and suppressing the unwanted noises, before sending just your colleague's clean voice to you through your headphones. NoiseClean-out does the same - but for your own background noise. And don't just take words for it. Hear it for yourself!
• Better than your default audio
  Powered by high-resolution audio with a 192 kHz / 24-bit DAC and delivering clean audio clarity at 110 dB, you will never go back to the default audio on your PC again. This instant audio upgrade is also extremely lightweight (8.3g / 0.29 oz) and super portable, so you can carry it around with you everywhere you go.
