Key Engineering Highlights
- Dedicated bone-conduction voice pickup unit (VPU) in each earbud isolates the wearer's skull vibrations from 85 dBA coffee-shop or airport noise
- Pressing the physical FlashRecord button on the charging case starts instant onboard recording—even while the earbuds are still docked inside the case
- Simultaneously records two-way Zoom/Teams laptop audio and iPhone cellular calls via Bluetooth multipoint without installing virtual audio drivers
