The system, which uses an app to control two wireless earbuds, allows users to augment and moderate real world audio with effects such as equalizers and volume sliders.

Here launched on Kickstarter earlier this month and surpassed its original $250,000 30-day goal in less than 48 hours. “Support from these music industry leaders helps position the Here Active Listening System to revolutionize live entertainment – especially for concerts and live music,” said Noah Kraft, CEO and Co-Founder of Doppler Labs. “The technology we have created with Here has the potential to make every seat in the house the best seat in the house by allowing every listener to personalize their live audio environment based on their own specific listening preferences.”
