Scriberex 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2004 http://www.etymotic.com/ety-com-intro.html The ETY-COMTM cell phone headset is the most technically advanced cell phone headset of its kind, incorporating technology used in our stereo earphones and hearing aid devices. Improved intelligibility is achieved by combining noise isolation from a high-fidelity receiver and a close-talking (noise-canceling) directional microphone. The advantages are obvious in noisy surroundings. The highest sound isolation of any cell phone headset: NRR=24 dB by independent E-A-R-CAL Laboratory measurements (Indianapolis, IN). Actual earphone attenuation averages 37dB at the octave frequency bands from 125 to 8000Hz. The ETY-COM headset allows its user to carry on a conversation in a noisy car, airport, or convention center. Just as important, it allows the speaker to carry on a quiet private cell phone conversation in a public place without annoying others. Noise-canceling microphone technology makes it possible for the talker to be heard by the listener without shouting or interference from the talker's surroundings. Compatible with most Motorola cell phones and with most other cell phones that have a universal 2.5mm plug. Adapter solutions are available for cell phones that are not currently compatible. Expected delivery: Early February. US$69 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
