The earables are on their way!
09. September 2016
Earables resemble earbuds that are usually connected to each other wirelessly. They can be controlled by touch, speech, movement or gestures - all you need is a smartphone. Among the earables available on the market, there are big differences in terms of functionalities. With most of them you can listen to music just like with conventional headphones. Thanks to their internal memory, songs can be saved directly onto the earables and played or can be streamed wirelessly from smartphones and other devices.
Some earables enable you to block out or make external noise louder. Cancelling noise can help to better concentrate. But it can also be dangerous not to hear what is going on around you, when you are on the road. Other earables are interesting because of their activity and health tracking systems. Integrated sensors measure biometric data and provide this information in real-time, keeping wearers, for example, informed about their heart rate, number of steps or relevant time intervals.
