Designed for Hybrid Work in noisy environments
I know Coolpo products from their meeting room solutions like 360 degrees speaker phones with in-built webcam like the Coolpo Pana 360 (Amazon Affiliate).

The Coolpo IGNITE headset has AI noise-canceling microphones blocking significant background noise, ensuring crystal-clear communication even in noisy environments like restaurants. Coolpo’s website does not provide more information about the AI algorithm and how it compares to other headsets on the market that also embed AI technology, but this YouTube video delivers more insights into its noise-canceling research and why it has added a separate chip (next to the Bluetooth Chip) for its new technology called “MeetingFlex.”
