THX Adds High-Fidelity Audio Option to i-Blades Smartphone Cases

THX and i-Blades partnered on the Smartcase, a mobile phone case for Samsung Galaxy 6, 7 and 8 series smartphones with interchangeable snap-on blades that add functionality. THX AAA brings what the company calls an ultimate audio experience with the “world’s highest fidelity audio signal” delivering higher peak output than is possible with standard phones, while maximizing battery life. The THX technology cuts harmonic, intermodulation and crossover distortion by 20-40 dB, creating a more realistic and less fatiguing listening experience, said THX. Its “feed-forward” topology nulls conventional distortion and noise, resulting in a highly linear amplifier, it said. Prices start at $79; iPhone cases are due later this half.
