This will detect voices and adjust the ambient sound pass-through, so you can hear conversations around you while blocking out unwanted noise. The XM3s have a similar feature called <em style=\"user-select: auto;\">Ambient Sound Mode<\/em> which picks up on certain frequencies to pass-through to your ears. <em style=\"user-select: auto;\">Smart Talking<\/em> seems to be a more intelligent version of <em style=\"user-select: auto;\">Ambient Sound Mode<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pictures included on the latest leak appear very similar to the preview generation. Previous leaks in March showed a slightly thicker design, as well as less power consumption and Bluetooth 5, both leading to increased battery life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All signs point to a fairly incremental update, but much wanted for those holding off on the XM3s. No word on release date, but we can expect to see them soon, after supposedly being approved by the FCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We should see them come in at the same launch price of the XM3s of $349.99.
