Silenz is built for people who work with headphones on and still want to stay aware of the world around them.

You can even blend in amplified ambient sound, so you stay focused without feeling cut off from reality.
Background Music is a lightweight macOS audio utility that automatically pauses your music when other sounds play, lets you fine-tune volume per app, and even records system audio, all without requiring a restart. Still in alpha, but already impressively capable.
