DSP Earbuds

This piece on the new Doppler Labs Here earbuds is an interesting bit of forthcoming technology. At their core, they're noise canceling headphones but the additional "trick" with these is that they don't filter all noise, they boost and augment the sound around you. To put it more succinctly: "The earbuds capture the incoming sound waves, process the audio in real-time, and play it in your ear without any perceptible delay."

It's like a next wave hearing aid and plenty of people seem interested given the success of their Kickstarter campaign. I'll be keeping on eye on them as well.
