DTS Headphone:X Adds Audio Customization to New Asus ZenFone Models

DTS Headphone:X is one of the features in the Asus ZenFone 4 that launched Thursday in Taiwan. The phone’s built-in audio wizard enables personalization and DTS:X optimization based on music genre, headphone model and the user’s listening profile, said DTS. Users can choose from eight music genres -- normal, classical, dance, jazz, pop, rock, vocal and custom -- and the audio library includes 400 headphone models that can be selected to fit the sound characteristics of the headphone to the phone's audio playback, DTS said. The Android-based ZenFone 4 Pro and ZenFone 4 are camera-first smartphones. The Pro model, using a Sony IMX362 image sensor with an f/1.7-aperture lens for low-light shooting, is a 16-megapixel camera with a 2x optical zoom lens and 6 GB RAM, said an Asus news release. The ZenFone 4 dual-camera system features the main camera based on the Sony IMX362 image sensor and a 120-degree wide-angle lens, Asus said.
