Jabra Unveils BT530 Bluetooth Headset with Noise Blackout Feature

GN Netcom today announced the new Jabra BT530 with Noise Blackout feature. According to the company, the Noise Blackout feature will reduce ambient sound without compromising voice quality, providing a balance between noise elimination and the delivery of a natural sounding voice. The Jabra BT530is the first product to feature Noise Blackout technology.

Developed by GN Netcom engineers, Noise Blackout uses dual microphones to capture sound, intelligently filtering background noise only. Other noise cancellation headsets cancel noise by cutting away audio frequency and reducing sound quality. Used together with advanced DSP technology and Audio Shock Protection that monitors incoming audio volume, sound is balanced to filter out background noise, leaving both sides of the call with a natural sounding voice quality.

Weighting in at only .35 ounces, the Jabra BT530 features auto-pairing technology for ease of use. Its multiuse capability allows the headset to connect to a mobile phone, desk phone and PC softphone at the same time, making it an ideal accessory for both in and out of the office.
