I didn't realize @byzo, founder of Last.fm, was behind this until I saw this VICE profile by @wurstzombie.

Interesting description on the company website: "Hear is an amazing way to listen to the world. It harmonizes your listening experience which helps you to be less distracted and stressed. The Hear app filters your acoustic environment, takes out harsh sounds and turns stressful noise into harmonic sound environments. Try it now, it's a free download on the app Store!"

hi guys, hi @seanevd Michael from RjDj here. Indeed, it is the same developer. RjDj is back in town :-)
Jay Mutzafi
@byzo @seanevd Duuuuuuuuude! I kept wondering where you folks have disappeared. RjDj and specifically eargasm is one of my first and favorite discoveries on an iPhone years ago. Hear looks awesome and I am delighted you are back. But can we please pretty please get the original eargasm filter back somehow? I'll pay whatever you want as an In-App Purchase!
michael breidenbrück
@jaymutzafi try the relax filter :-)

Super fun app. I first tried it on a busy Seattle street and found myself smiling like a dork on the "happy" setting. I was disappointed I couldn't use it with my higher end blue tooth headset though.
Florian Dorfbauer
Any plans to release Hear on Android, @byzo?
michael breidenbrück
@fdorfbauer we got it working on android and seeing all these responses we will def. look into this!
Patrick Vlaskovits
@byzo @fdorfbauer Michael, latency will likely be a challenge on Android for you guys. http://Superpowered.com can help.
michael breidenbrück
@pv @fdorfbauer latency +1 ..we got it to ok level but still an issue!
Patrick Vlaskovits
@byzo @fdorfbauer -- we're all about low latency at Superpowered. If you have any questions, hit us up at hello@superpowered.com

Okay, this is cool. Especially with in-ear noise cancelling headphones. Truly augments reality. I've been using the 'happy' setting for about an hour now, and must admit I'm feeling a bit more chipper than usual at this point in the day. Is there any research pointing to reverb and delay contributing to happiness/contentment? Bravo to the makers!

I love the background on your landing page. Upvoted, despite I'm with Android. ;)

Morning commutes will never be the same. Love it.
Mike Slagh
@byzo do you recommend w/standard iphone headphones (+mic) or something different?
michael breidenbrück
@mslagh works ok with standar headphones but if you got any in-ear setup or noise cancelling try that.

I can't remember the last time I had so much fun with an iPhone app. Trying to send some people your way: https://tookapic.com/photos/102381 This app is worth sharing.
michael breidenbrück
@pawelkadysz what a pic!!! Nice one, thanks!
Stefan Natter
Congrats @byzo. I already had the chance to test it months ago, it is an awesome app with a unique experience!

Favourite new activity: whistling into the Office filter. Well done, Michael, Rob & co.

Super Hearing makes me feel like Daredevil :)
Sean E. Duncan
I was going to say this reminds me, a lot, of what @rjdj did with the Inception app. But upon further inspection after going to the RjDj website, I was redirected to Hear. Must be the same developer. 😅
Arlo Gilbert
This would go very well with psychedelics
Daniel Lee
Cool! I always love seeing tech that interacts with the physical world. Will def try this out.
Palak Zatakia
Looks amazing. Excited to try this out. :D

Dowloaded, then deleted once I got stuck at "plug in earphones". I use bluetooth headphones. Cords? What?
michael breidenbrück
@smashbase Hi. Bluetooth is a tough one for us... Very low sample rate and therefor latency. We are looking into it but there is a big variety of bluetooth headsets with big quality variations and apps have no info about the kind of headset connected...
Gunter Geiger
@smashbase Bluetooth has really bad audio quality and high latency in full duplex mode. Anyhow, we will add it in the next release .. for the daring
Anthony
Excited to try it but also put off by the lack of support for bluetooth headphones

You shocked me for a second with your "Blue Screen of Death" homepage.
