The trio of options, Standard, Voice Isolation, and Wide Spectrum, are different mic modes for phone calls on your iPhone.

The Standard mode is the default setting, which does not affect your call quality. Meanwhile, Voice Isolation improves your audio quality by blocking out ambient/background noise.

Wide Spectrum, on the other hand, captures a ‘wide’ range of sounds on your phone call. It ensures that audio from the background is not suppressed at all.
