So your movies, shows, and games become breathtakingly immersive.

The chip uses powerful adaptation algorithms to process sound more quickly, tuning audio at the precise moment you hear it. Every detail is rendered for your specific ear shape, immersing you in higher‑fidelitysound.

An inward-facing microphone works with voice enhancement algorithms to recognize and articulate your voice, so your phone and video calls always sound completely natural.
