SRS Labs announced today that they’ve entered into a multi-year, multi-technology licensing agreement with Samsung Mobile. The strategic deal grants Samsung Mobile Communications Division the use of numerous SRS audio and voice technologies, including SRS Circle Surround Headphone, SRS WOW HD and SRS VIP+, in mobiles phones worldwide.

“SRS has been a fantastic technology provider and partner for many years. It is natural that we decided to work more closely with SRS to provide our consumers with superior and demonstrable audio features,” says Wonsik Lee, vice president of Samsung’s Mobile Communication Division. “With the integration of SRS audio solutions, we are very confident that our customers will continue enjoying the premium audio experience that they have come to expect and demand from their mobile phones.

Despite the growth of mobile video content, mobile phones will continue to be used first as communication devices. Recognizing this, Samsung has also licensed SRS voice solutions that help the handset users better discern what the caller is saying, particularly in noisy environments. Users will also benefit from noise reduction, improving both near end and far end communication, improved tonal quality and dynamic capabilities that adjust, in real-time, the amount of voice intelligibility processing and overall volume gain as needed.
