About Us

Heerable is the only dedicated site to hearable technology and the devices surrounding next-generation audio that’s committed to helping people to get more from the things they love doing with hearables.

Heerable is a list of the best hearable gear and gadgets for people who want to save the time and stress of figuring out what to buy. Whatever sort of thing you need—augmented audio devices, live-translation earphones, smart voice assistants, sound amplification devices, hearable health monitoring technology or hearable sleep technology—we make shopping for it easy by telling you the best one to get. Heerable was founded in December 2018.

Do your affiliate commissions make you biased?

Our writers and editors are never made aware of which companies may have established affiliate relationships with our business team prior to making their picks. If readers choose to buy the products we recommend as a result of our research, analysis, interviews, and testing, our work is often (but not always) supported through an affiliate commission from the retailer when they make a purchase. If readers return their purchases because they’re dissatisfied or the recommendation is bad, we make nothing. There’s no incentive for us to pick inferior products or respond to pressure from manufacturers—in fact, it’s quite the opposite. We think that’s a pretty fair system that keeps us committed to serving our readers first.

The most important thing to us is the trust we have from readers. If we were to recommend something because we are biased or lazy, readers like you wouldn’t support our work. We also invite you to fact-check our pieces, which carefully outline the time, logic, and energy spent researching, interviewing experts, and testing the gear. Often, this takes dozens—sometimes even hundreds—of hours. Each guide plainly lays out all the evidence for why we made our picks so you can judge for yourself.

What if the thing I want isn’t on your site?
