Seven most impressive metro stations
Metro stations have long ceased to be just transportation hubs. Today, many of them are true architectural masterpieces. Here is a review of seven most amazing metro stations.
Externally, Here Active Listening (HAL) earbuds are very similar to conventional wireless earphones.
What's special about them isn't how they reproduce audio, but how they capture it (with microphones) and process it. They act as a live equaliser in your ear, capturing real world sounds or live music and allowing you control the volume, filter out noises you don't want to hear and even remix it.
The Here One buds will let you filter and change the noise of the real world. Using the companion app, you can change frequency response, tune out things like baby screams and train screeches, or turn up the volume of the people in front of you.
To use "smart" headphones, you need to download a specially developed application for a smartphone in order to control the device. A unique audio coding system and microphone allow you to automatically suppress unnecessary sounds.
In the Here companion app, you'll find nine filters which at present you can't tweak: airplane, bus car, city, crowd, office (loud), office (normal), restaurant and subway. These all offer different levels of noise canceling and are designed to pick up and analyse the ambient noise in each of those different environments. Some (airplane, office) worked better than others so you'll probably play around with which works for you for the environment that invades your ears the most. None offer 100% silence, rather a much muted version of what's going on around you.

In 2027, Japan plans to launch its maglev train, which will reach a staggering speed of 603 km/h, making it the fastest train in the world. However, even today, there are impressive achievements in high-speed rail transport. Let us take a look at the trains that hold the top positions in terms of speed.
Cocoa prices have surged this year due to a drop in production in key supplier countries, driven by poor harvests caused by unfavorable weather and tree diseases. Futurists warn that if this trend continues, cocoa could become a delicacy in just a few years. Let us explore which other everyday foods might soon be affordable only to gourmets.
