IRIS ALGORITHM

The IRIS algorithm is a revolutionary new audio experience that dramatically increases sound quality while simultaneously activating your brain.
This is achieved through a proprietary algorithm that splits out and increases the phase information sent to the brain. The listener’s brain then reassembles this vast increase in information and becomes far more active in the listening process. This is Active Listening.
The IRIS algorithm is not on by default and should be switched on. This will lead to a more immersive and engaging listening experience. It can also help with call clarity and engagement

Activating the IRIS algorithm

How to use the algorithm

1. The algorithm can be used at any time, on music or voice calls
2. Simply press the IRIS button to activate.
3. Once activated, the audio stream will immediately be separated and phase-shifted between your ears, leading to active listening.
4. Parameters ‘Intensity’ and ‘Integration’ can be adjusted via the IRIS Listen to Well app. Integration adjusts the mix of the algorithm, whilst intensity adjusts the width of phase separation.

BATTERY CHARGING

Charge the headphones

1. Plug the one end of the USB cable into the USB-C connector on the right earcup.
2. Plug the other end into a USB wall charger or computer that is powered on.

Whilst charging, the status LED blinks green, and goes steady green if fully charged.
If the charging cable is plugged in and the battery is still charging, the other functions do not affect the LED ie it only shows the charging indication

Charging time

Allow up to for hours to fully charge the headphones.
When connected wirelessly, full charge power the headphones for up to 37 hours.
