More Headphone Users Will Cut the Cord in 2017
But Apple isn’t the only company producing this kind of headphones. At CES, Nuheara introduced the $300 IQbuds, which feature what the company calls Super Intelligent Noise Cancellation technology. The earbuds are designed to enhance your ability to hear speech in a loud environment, like a crowded restaurant or noisy party, by lowering ambient noise and elevating speech above that ambient noise.
The earbuds work in conjunction with a mobile app that allows you to adjust various audio frequencies in order to boost the volume of the conversations nearest to you, while also minimizing the surrounding noise via sophisticated noise-canceling technology. When I demoed a prototype last month, the earbuds worked pretty well. They should hit the retail market in March.

It's nice when we get a mention alongside Apple. Bound to get their attention sooner or later.
