Adaptive Noise-Canceling Headphones

Headphones that not only cancel unwanted noise but also adapt to different environments and user activities. For instance, they could amplify important sounds like a ringing phone or a car honking while muting background noise in busy settings. These headphones would enhance the user experience by providing situational awareness while still offering the benefits of noise cancellation, making them ideal for commuters, students, and professionals who need to focus in various environments.
