Equipped with four microphones and echo & noise cancellation technology
The newly released "Esquire 2" boasts a sophisticated square design and clear, high-quality sound. It has evolved to be slimmer and more functional than its predecessor.
While the previous model had two microphones, the "Esquire 2" features four. This allows for clear capture of sound from all directions, and with the proprietary "VoiceLogic" echo and noise cancellation technology, it enables high-quality hands-free calls even in scenarios like online meetings where multiple people speak simultaneously.
Of course, it also shines as a music speaker. Despite its slim design, it houses four 32mm drivers delivering a maximum output of 16W, promising powerful and immersive sound.
Furthermore, it is Bluetooth-compatible and offers up to 8 hours of continuous music playback. With a 3,200mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery, it can also serve as a mobile power bank for smartphones and other devices in a pinch. It's a strong ally for business professionals and heavy smartphone users.
Available in three sophisticated colors: classic black, gold, and gray. Combined with its refined design, it promises to be highly useful for both business and personal use.
