Volume buttons for your ears? You’d be forgiven for raising an eyebrow; after all, this is a Kickstarter project too and the platform is rife with plenty of products that you never even considered you needed until they popped up on the “most popular” list.

But volume controls for your ears may be pushing it a little too far. Or is it? Knops claims to be an “adjustable hearing solution” that reduces noise.

The product has four steps that filter out different levels of noise, from city noise and volume levels of live music to blocking out enough to allow you to work in a perfect, distraction-free environment. And Knops is analogue too. Would you wear them though?
