The modern concept of vampires taught us one thing: if we become them, it is only for the sake of tough abilities like super-clear vision or sharp hearing. With the latter, you can now figure out almost no fantastic way. Here headphones are essentially a hearing aid for those who already hear well, which allows you to isolate and modify individual sounds from the surrounding sound landscape. Small wireless plugs connect to the application via Bluetooth, so that their owner can use the phone to control what he would like to hear more clearly and louder than the rest: the interlocutor's voice, bird singing, his musical instrument, and so on - and muffle what he would not like to hear at all.

We are accustomed to shutting ourselves down from ambient noise using insulating headphones and music — the creators of Here are calling to try to go back to the real world and hear the music of sounds around. In addition to the amplification of individual frequencies, the application can impose various filters on the sound in real time. To work on Here, they no longer simply raised money for Kickstarter, but also attracted specialists from Apple, Nike, Microsoft, and other companies. The creators hope that their device will not yield in popularity to the omnipresent Beats. Only one question remains - if Here goes to the masses, one can never be sure that no one is listening.
