Sennheiser launched a new pair of sports-centric true wireless earbuds with an unusual feature. The new Sport True Wireless has an Aware EQ passthrough setting that can reduce distracting sounds your body makes (like heartbeat and footsteps) to pay better attention to your surroundings. We can imagine this will be useful for runners.

It also has an Adaptable Acoustic system that lets you choose between open and closed ear adapters and offers tweakable equalizer settings to get the sound you want for your workouts.
