Tuning during a call allows you to go beyond the static baseline profile for your ears. It allows you to refine the sound for noisy environments or for different voices and save those settings into a new profile. With SonicCloud, all you then need to do is select the appropriate profile you've created to enjoy clearer audio. This capability can also be invaluable during conference calls with different voices when using your phone to access the conference call audio.
