Scenario 1: James is sitting at a noisy and packed bar with the after-work Happy Hour crowd. He’s chumming it up with the ole’ chaps from the office and his phone rings. Uh-oh, it’s James’ wife and he knows how much she hates him going to Happy Hour after work instead of rushing home. He ignores the call which always tips her off as to his whereabouts and only heightens her frustration with him.

Uh-oh, it’s James’ wife and he knows how much she hates him going to Happy Hour after work instead of rushing home. James has the latest LG phone with “DSE” (noise cancellation technology) so he answers the phone and tells his wife he is working late crunching numbers at the office. Now all he has to do is pop in a piece of gum for the drive home and he is smooth sailin’!
LG’s new noise reduction uses dual microphones in the phone to digitally filter out background noise. The company’s Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Woo Paik, showed off the new technology in a demo reel that features a man in a quiet office calling his wife on a busy street corner (but we like our scenario much better). Hopefully, LG has a demo at their CES booth this year so we can get the scoop on how well it works - or doesn’t.
