Why fuss over mute controls or get distracted by unwanted background noises when you should be focusing on what matters instead? Plus, it can be used with any headsets or headphones with microphones! With features such as VoiceDetect that automatically unmutes you as you speak, and NoiseClean that provides two-way noise cancellation which cancels static background noise during a call, your conversations will be more productive, and less disruptive. MUTE AND UNMUTE YOURSELF AUTOMATICALLY Have you ever been caught in a situation where you asked a question and anxiously waiting for a response from your teammates, or tried sharing your ideas with your co-workers, only to realize you were on mute? Our 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 it keeps you focused on your train of thought. TWO-WAY NOISE CANCELLATION NoiseClean-in analyzes your incoming audio (imagine someone with a noisy background in your video call), detecting and suppressing the unwanted noises, before sending just their clean voice to you through your headphones. NoiseClean-out does the same—but for your own background noise. And don't just take our words for it. Hear it for yourself! When you're done with your online meeting, turn off the NoiseClean features and continue with normal media playback with the Sound Blaster Audigy FX V2 for the best audio experience.
