Here Active Listening is a wireless product created by Doppler Labs that provided users with the ability to control live audio through two earbuds and a connected smartphone application. Once connected, the Here Active Listening application provided a series of audio filters, effects and settings, which augment live audio in real-time. Here Active Listening did not have any streaming functionality and could not be used as a headphone.
Here Active Listening launched on Kickstarter in June 2015, and 2,855 backers pledged $635,189 to help bring the project to life. In the following months the product received different recognitions: was named one of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2015, won Cannes Lion Best in Product Design Gold , Inc. Magazine’s Game-Changing Invention of 2015, and SXSW Interactive Innovation 2016 Best of Show and Best Music & Audio Innovation awards .

Software
The Here Active Listening App was made available for iOS and Android.
Doppler Labs brought on a roster of partners and investors from the entertainment and music industries to support Here Active Listening including Hans Zimmer, Quincy Jones, Tiesto, Mark Ronson, and more.
