Here One and Here Active Listening are electronic ear plugs that allow the user to control, filter, and or amplify incoming sound. The user can control these functions with the provided smartphone app to which the ear plugs needs to be wirelessly connected. The device is developed by an American startup company Doppler Labs Inc.
The company already release the first iteration of the device named Here Active Listening in February 2016[2] which it financed through a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. The improved version Here One is planned to be released in December 2016.
Contents
Main characteristics
The device consists of a pair of ear buds and a smartphone app. The ear buds are wireless and are equipped with a speaker and two microphones - one outer and one inner. The outer shell is made of plastic and the ear plug itself is replaceable. The user can choose from different shapes and sizes for the best fit.
The user inserts the ear plugs and pairs them with the smarthpone app. Once the device is ready, the user then can control the sound passing through the ear buds with the app. For example, they can control the lower frequencies of the incoming sound if they wish to hear less bass while listening to music. They can also use a variety of provided filters and sound effects, such as filter out the noise of the aircraft's engines while travelling.
Purpose
Here allows the user to control the sound that is entering their ears. This allows the user to filter or unwanted sounds such as traffic noise, or enhance sounds they want to hear such as music or speech.
