HFP = Hands Free Profile is what allows voice dialing activation, redial, call transfer and call answer/end capabilities.
DSP = Active Digital Signal Processing allows for seamless and pleasant wireless conversation regardless of environment.
Wideband = Gives you a clearer more natural sound to your voice.
NFC pairing = Near Field Communication allows for quick pairing of devices when active and in near proximity
Caller Announce = Will tell you who is calling from your mobile phones contact list.
Voice Alerts (Whispers) = You will hear the headset say power on, power off, talk time, battery low and so forth….
