Hearables Are Still on the Rise

Hearables are still on the rise since Nick Hunn first introduced their name at the European edition of our WT | Wearable Technologies Conference 2014 in Munich. We regularly introduce the hottest Hearables to you in our magazine and there is more to come. Check out these 3 newcomers in this product category:

Kanoa are a new kind of headphones “engineered to musical perfection.” They are ideal for athletes because you can control how the noise enters your ears. Another testament to time is how headphones are now completely wireless. You simply fit the ear buds securely into your ear and charge it on a sleek charging station.

But that’s not the only cool new startup in this space. Aware is a Bluetooth headphone with embedded biometric sensors which can measure data such as brainwaves, heart rate, steps, distance traveled, and calories burned, and more. The hearable can track brain waves through EEG and provide real-time feedback about focus, stress, sleep patterns, and relaxation. This ear is a great place to gain data on biometrics for you receive the least amount of noise.

This month the big guys, Samsung, joined the hearables club! Samsung released their latest wearable called Gear IconX! This new wireless earbuds combine fitness tracking, real-time performance feedback and also allows you to listen to your favorite music or answer calls.

So let’s wait and see if fitness tracking is now moving from the wrist to the ear. Follow our news channels to be the first to know what the future will bring!
