IRIS ALGORITHM The IRIS algorithm is a revolutionary new audio experience that dramatically increases sound quality while simultaneously activating your brain. This is achieved through a proprietary algorithm which splits out and increases the phase information sent to the brain. The listener’s brain then reassembles this vast increase in information and becomes far more active in the listening process. This is Active Listening. The IRIS algorithm is not on by default, and should be switched on.
