Soundhawk Smart Headset: Let users listen to the sound you want

Wearhawk, a wearable technology startup, has developed a smart headset system that allows users to hear what they want. In the past two years, Soundhawk has been developing this in-ear headset. Through smartphone applications, Scoop allows users to hear it. The sound you want. Unlike ordinary Bluetooth headsets, Soundhawk hopes that Scoop will become a product that consumers can wear all day long without being awkward.

Scoop has two microphones and one button, which is connected to iPhone or Android phone via Bluetooth 2.1. Scoop has the functions of ordinary Bluetooth headset, such as answering the phone, starting Siri or Google Now voice assistant, etc. But Scoop is special in allowing users to listen. To the sound you want to hear, Soundhawk thinks this is the real selling point of Scoop.

According to Soundhawk, the four most common modes of everyday life are indoors, outdoors, dining, and driving. Each mode uses an algorithm and Scoop hardware to highlight the sounds the user wants and filter out other noises. For example, If the user chooses the dining mode, Scoop will limit the breadth of the sound to capture the collision of the cutlery. In addition, the user can manually adjust the sound area to be captured.

Mike Kisch, the chief executive of Soundhawk, said: "The inspiration comes from an ophthalmologist. Seeing that they can optometry for patients by replacing lenses of different degrees, they think they can treat the sound in the same way."

Although it has the function of a hearing aid, Keschi said that Scoop will try to avoid competing with hearing aids, because Scoop's goal is not to replace hearing aids.
