You're Listening To Music Wrong: This Box Fixes The Problem

Your headphones may not be giving you the whole picture.

Believe it or not, everyone’s ears are different. Research and science confirms this hypothesis, as does common sense. Less intuitive, perhaps, is that when we reach for the volume knob, we’re often actually looking for a clarity that’s specific to our ear canals.

The dependency on volume control has actually led to a situation in which one in eight people are at risk of tinnitus—no laughing matter. Fortunately, a company called Aumeo has created a device, called the Aumeo Audio Box, that fits between your music player and your cans that automatically customizes the sound to your own personal profile. Check out a demo of how they work in the video below. Grab a box for yourself here.

Here’s to clear music and healthy ears!
