The headset is designed with a textured, two-paneled front, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and 10mm wideband speaker. Equipped with a Voice Activity Sensor powered with military-grade NoiseAssassin 2.5 technology with wind reduction, this headset eliminates all unwanted background noise to provide clear and quiet phone conversations. The USB Audio Adapter, or the Nerd, is a plug and play device that requires no software installation, and can be instantly connected to any Mac or PC. With this adapter, the Icon HD is able to simultaneously connect to multiple audio devices, allowing the user to seamlessly move between talking and streaming music on a computer to receiving calls from a mobile phone.
