Bose earbuds aren’t only headphones, they are hearing aids too. With these headphones you can amplify and reduce real world sounds. Now, you can hear quieter sounds louder and louder sounds can sound quieter.
Those headphones were made to be used in noisy environments. However they can be on when ever you like. You can also listen to music, attend calls, and be able to cancel sound completely by using the principles of constructive and destructive interference which means sending out the same sound waves that are occurring in the environment and either counteracting or amplifying those sounds. With this device you need to download an app to function the headphones.
