If you've had enoughof your chatty friendor your colleague's blasting speaker playing random EDM songs all the time , a Kickstarter's crowdfund project claiming to be "the volume button for your ears" could be the best solution for you to get yourself out of the situation.
Knops are adjustable wireless earbuds that can work like an acoustic filter, offering multiple levels of adjustable sound blocking with no battery, bluetooth or smartphone app.
Practically, users can just adjust each plug between four settings - no filtering (-0dB); low amount of ambient noise filtering (-10dB); high level filtering (-20dB); complete silence (-30dB).
