So, same market as the DopplerLabs Hear One?

I am the ideal customer: some hearing loss from my VJ days, but still appreciate frequency response. I render all my music at 192Khz.

Basic hearing aids suck at frequency response. Most drop off at around 8KHz Meanwhile, Apple has created a pipeline for hearing aid. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201466 I haven't used it.

I often work out of noisy cafes. So, I wear Bose Quiet Comfort 20 earbuds. If I forget, I will go back home to fetch them. Have even taken the QC 20's to public concerts to use the noise cancellation feature instead of earplugs.




I was pretty excited for the Hear One's but now they've been delayed until March. :(

If they can actually land a product with a truly wireless experience, that would be awesome!


Yep, Doppler and Apple delaying product.

A friend has worn the simple noise cancelling version of the Hear One to a loud concert. She loves them.

Another friend has the Bragi Dash earbuds and was complaining of some Bluetooth drop-out.

IMO, would rather have a neck band sending out RF than something sitting inside my head. Maybe the new passive WiFi solves that concern at 1/10,000 the power?


IIRC, the new passive Wifi requires a reflector device in the room.


I think that's the problem; they have a good idea and an approach and developing partnerships, but product delivery seems.
