Here One is a pair of wireless smart earbuds developed and manufactured by Doppler Labs. It allows users to control real-world sound, stream music, and amplify speech. It can also be used to take phone calls and selectively filter certain sounds, such as background noise. Here One has been called the world’s first in-ear computer.
Here Active Listening, the predecessor to Here One, was a pair of two wireless smart earbuds and a connected app that allowed users to control real-world sound, but did not stream music. It was engineered specifically for transforming and curating live listening experiences, including live music. It was released in a limited production run of 10,000 units and offered exclusively through Kickstarter, where 2,855 backers pledged $635,189 to help bring the project to life, and to concert goers at the 2016 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. In recognition of its ability to augment real-world sound, Here Active Listening received a Cannes Lions Product Design Award, was named one of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2015, and was a finalist in Fast Company's 2016 Innovation by Design Awards.
Here One was built on the hardware and software foundation of Here Active Listening, but Here One added streaming capability, making the product more accessible to consumers and allowing users to stream music and take phone calls in addition to the real-world sound control found in Here Active Listening. Here One started shipping in February 2017 and was available on the company's site, on Amazon, and in Best Buy, Brookstone, AT&T, and Microsoft stores.
On November 1, 2017 Doppler Labs announced that it was ceasing sales of Here One.
Here One consists of two wireless earbuds, a charging case, and a connected smartphone app. Each earbud contains four integrated circuits (ICs), including a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), three analogue mems microphones (which provide directional capabilities), and a high-fidelity balanced armature speaker.
