The novelty of these smart headphones is that has a system that detects noiseSo if we go down the street and an ambulance siren sounds, the headphones will let us hear the sound to alert us to possible danger. The same happens if it detects our name, thus being able to speak with people who come to us.
Amazon's smart headphones will only cancel noise when it's not important
The truth is that these Amazon headphones are very interesting since more than one has been startled by mysterious touches or simply those around us have done the impossible for us to see them when we listen to our favorite music. According to Amazon itself, this will no longer be a problem with its smart headphones that process noise and they only let through those that are important to the user, such as traffic light alerts, sirens, car horns, etc ...
The arrival of noise canceling headphones has been a breakthrough, especially for those who seek to isolate themselves from the world through music, podcasts or radio, but it is also true that using these devices on the street is a great danger. It looks like Amazon will be done with this, but sadly this is only a patent, even though it is quite possible that Amazon bet on these headphones put them on the market, This new gadget from Amazon will take some time to reach the market.
