earSmart
Sharp FX PLUS features earSmart™, an intelligent voice processor that delivers a clear voice
experience, allowing you to hear and be heard™ in nearly all the environment. earSmart technology uses the science of
human hearing to distinguish sounds, identify your voice and suppress surrounding noise, for clear conversations just
about anywhere.
How Does it Work?
The earSmart voice processor in your Sharp FX PLUS captures your voice and all the sounds around you.
ⰺ
Working like the human ear, it processes and distinguishes these sounds, isolates your voice conversation, and removes
ⰺ
background noise – from both ends of a call.
It also automatically equalizes and adjusts voice volume so you can hear and talk naturally, even in the noisiest places.
ⰺ
With earSmart technology, you can talk where you want, and have clear conversations for mobile calls, video chats,
ⰺ
even speakerphone calls, without worrying about surrounding noise.
