What does it all mean?  

We have provided in simple terms what the acronyms mean and how they benefit you.

 

Microphones – The more microphones you have the better.  With each additional microphone sensing background noise, your headset can better identify your voice making your call more clear to your caller.

Acoustic Fence – Uses a noise cancelling microphone and an additional omni directional microphone to ensure the users voice is the only thing heard and not the background noise.

A2DP = Advanced Audio Distribution Profile lets you listen to music through your Bluetooth headset when connected to your mobile phone or mp3 player.

AVRCP = Audio/Video Remote Control Profile is used for sending commands from a controller (e.g. stereo headset) to a target device (e.g. PC w/ Media Player)

HFP = Hands Free Profile is what allows voice dialing activation, redial, call transfer and call answer/end capabilities.

HSP = Handset Profile provides the basic functionalities needed for communication between a handset (cell phone) and a headset

DSP = Active Digital Signal Processing allows for seamless and pleasant wireless conversation regardless of environment.

PBAP = Phone Book Access Profile which downloads contacts and call histories from a connected remote device.

SSP2 = Secured Simple Pairing increases the security provided by a Bluetooth link as well as make pairing more user friendly.

Wideband = Gives you a clearer more natural sound to your voice.

NFC pairing = Near Field Communication allows for quick pairing of devices when active and in near proximity

Caller Announce = Will tell you who is calling from your mobile phones contact list.

Voice Alerts (Whispers) = You will hear the headset say power on, power off, talk time, battery low and so forth….

Voice Commands = You can tell the headset what you want it to do from a list of commands, like answer or ignore tone incoming call.
