SuperBeam Headsets
The SuperBeam is a headphone that works like a headset. Providing new increased convenience, the product eliminates the need to constantly manually position the boom microphone for proper close talking operation. With SuperBeam headsets, the user looks more natural during video use, with no fuzzy foam ball out in front of their lips. The user also has the convenience and enjoyment to freely eat and drink during conversations and operation, while enjoying exceptional sound quality and intelligibility for communications and multimedia applications.
Applications such as iTunes, YouTube, Skype, Game chat have driven the demand for headphones and headsets for personal listening and communications. But there still is an awkward image and inconvenience associated with the boom microphone headset. The user can look like a telephone operator or air traffic controller during use, especially while video conferencing. Positioning the close talking microphone is an annoyance and incorrect positioning may result in the microphone being too far away from mouth, producing low output, or if positioned too close to the mouth can yield breath popping noises and distortion. The boom microphone is an appendage to the headset and is a frequent part of the headset that is broken easily.
The SuperBeam headsets incorporate unique far-field stereo array microphones integrated right into the headphone housing providing a boom-free experience by utilizing Andrea’s adaptive beam forming and digital noise reduction that enables more intelligible audio by forming a beam toward the speaker’s mouth while eliminating unwanted background noises that are outside of the beam. The SuperBeam products enable a more natural look for the user with open-face convenience during communication.
