The models' case: Best-in-class call clarity from the upgraded H3 mic array and Voice Isolation that strips wind and street noise almost completely, seamless handoff across devices people. The models' main caveat: Deliver the same full feature set (Voice Isolation, seamless multipoint-like switching) on Android and Windows instead of degrading to a basic headset.
