Immersive Audio Headphones

The 'Here Active Listening' Earbuds are Made for Real World Audio

— June 8, 2015 — Tech
The 'Here Active Listening' headphones do not play music, but they do help you tune into the real world audio around you. Designed to help fully immerse you in your own audio environment, these clever earbuds allow you to control your own live listening experience.

The Here Active Listening headphones contain a built-in Digital Signal Processor that works like a "remote control for your ears." The headphones feature a volume control, equalizer, filter and other sound controls that help you tune in to exactly what you want to hear. The earbuds work by picking up and recording the real world sounds in your environment and then filtering them through the digital processor before transmitting the sound to your ear.

Whether you want to minimize the noise of a baby crying or turn up the bass at a concert, these smart headphones help to enhance the real world audio around you.
