Jabra Introduces First Bluetooth Mono Headset With Active Noise Cancellation Technology

NASHUA, N.H., Nov. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Jabra today announced the launch of the Jabra SUPREME, the first non-stereo headset to incorporate Active Noise Cancellation, in Canada.  In addition to Active Noise Cancellation that blocks out noisy environments for the user wearing the headset, the Jabra SUPREME features Noise Blackout™ 3.0 and Wind-Noise Reduction technology, creating the ultimate experience on both ends of a call.

For years, headset-makers have focused on noise reduction technology that avoids the transmission of background noise.  Active Noise Cancellation, traditionally only available in high-end noise cancellation stereo headphones, is included in the Jabra SUPREME and uses one dedicated microphone and an electronic chipset to generate an "anti-noise" sound, removing ambient noise heard by the person wearing the headset. The end result is call quality that is much clearer.

While Active Noise Cancellation eliminates ambient sound on the caller's end, Jabra's latest generation of Noise Blackout™ technology included in the Jabra SUPREME – Noise Blackout 3.0 - dramatically reduces background noise that is transmitted to the person on the other end of the line.  These two features combined with new patent-pending Wind-Noise Reduction technology, developed for calls in outdoor, windy conditions, result in the best-sounding conversation possible on both ends.

The Jabra SUPREME features a patented boom arm that "flips," enabling users to power on and off by simply flipping the headset open and closed. This advanced design combined with a state-of-the-art adjustable earhook and selection of ear cushions makes for one of the most comfortable and easiest headset carrying solutions on the market.

The Jabra SUPREME is now available for purchase in Canada at Best Buy Canada, Future Shop, The Source, Bell, TELUS, and Rogers for a suggested retail price of $99.
