Sprint Teases HD Voice Launch

Sprint played off Verizon Wireless’s long-running slogan, “Can you hear me now,” as it teased its own announcement in New York later this month.

Chief Executive Dan Hesse invited members of the press to “hear it for yourself” at the April 29 event in an invitation that features sound waves.

The carrier has previously discussed plans for a nationwide rollout of High Definition Voice, a technology that it says provides improved sound quality and a broader range of sound (for the musically inclined, it’s seven octaves).

Sprint has been testing the technology in markets such as Los Angeles and New York.

We're here to shed some clarity

One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal. Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
