It is a futuristic concept of earphones which translate the sounds of the environment into musical rhythm. The idea was conceived by realising what great importance the intonation has in rendering the meaning. People often understand the meaning by the feel they get from the speech melody. In this project earphones work as a filter between the individual and the environment. They filter the traffic noise and background hum of the environment and convert it to pleasant sounding music, which has embedded information from what is happening around.
