CARLSBAD, Calif.-Start-up Aliph released its new Jawbone headset for mobile phones, which the company said allows users to hear conversations in noisy environments. The company said it expects the headset to sell for about $150.
The company said the new headset features unique noise suppression and echo-cancellation software.
“Mobile phones are increasingly being used in every imaginable situation and as landline substitutes. But there is a major performance frustration separating today’s mobile-phone experience from landline use. Although carriers continue to invest in infrastructure to improve network quality, little progress has been made in the realm of voice quality and, in particular, noise management,” said Patrick McVeigh, Aliph’s chief executive officer. “People want to be heard clearly and consistently anywhere they choose to be on a call, whether it’s walking through a noisy airport or as sirens pass by on a busy street. This was the genesis of Jawbone technology.”
