AI Beamforming Microphones with
AI Noise Cancelation

The Fusion II 500 doesn’t rely on a boom mic. Instead, it uses concealed AI Beamforming Microphones to provide high-quality voice communication in comfort and style. The Discord- and TeamSpeak-certified microphones create an acoustic zone that targets your mouth while filtering out distracting background noise from other directions to ensure clear voice pick-up.
