Here One Launch in Singapore
June 02, 2017
Doppler Labs launched the Here One truly wireless smart earbuds in Singapore today at a media launch at the We The People Kickstarter Store in Millenia Walk.
It was a fitting location given its origins. We actually reviewed their first commercially available and Kickstarter-backed product back in Aug 2016. That was called the Here Active Listening System . It did not play music. Instead, they delivered an audio augmented reality experience.
And today, Here One is their next generation product that still maintains the AR experience fusing it with listening to music. Let's check out what the Here One offers.
Type - Truly Wireless In-Ears
Price - USD 299 / SGD 459
What's The Big Deal?
The specs are quite comparable with its truly wireless peers. We're looking at buds of a 12g weight that can last for 2 hours playback. There's a charging case that offers 3 more rounds of charge for the buds.
However, these are not a pair of run of the mill earphones. To do the Here One justice, we'll focus on what differentiates these buds from the rest.
1. Smart Noise Cancellation
Doppler Labs' buds incorporate what they term as Real-World Sound Control that allows the ability to dynamically increase / decrease specific sound types. For example, you can suppress the ambient sound of a plane's engine or if somehow you want to increase it, you sure can. This is controllable through their app. This is quite different from traditional active noise cancelation (ANC) where all ambient sounds are lowered.
2. Speech Enhancement
You can reduce background noise and amplify human speech. For example, you can enhance a nearby conversation.
3. Machine Learning
Interestingly, the machine learning engine behind the buds, called Smart Suggest, is able to use your location, past use and preferences to provide suggestions. If you're in a subway, the app will supposedly push a suggested sound profile for your approval.
Who Is It For?
The most obvious usage is for folks who listen to music but at the same time can conveniently double the device as a hearing aid.
Pricing And Availability
The Here One is priced at USD 299 / SGD 459.
If you are in the US, they are currently available through their online store.
If you are in Singapore, they are available from 5 May at selected retailers including truewireless.sg.

All you want is a device that processes the sound waves and focuses it suitably, ensuring it is further processed by your inner ear. But then, the test is important to assess the type of loss you suffer from. For example, if you may be able to hear clearly with an instrument but you are not able to use the same while talking over phone, when your job/day to day life require talking over phone; for such cases, the audiologist will let you know the type of aid you require, only after a brief hearing test.
