Tech world is developing and rappers are doing it big for themselves. Dr. Dre isn't the only one turning up in the headphone market. Rapper/actor/businessman Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and SMS Audio have
partnered with Intel to launch the SMS Audio BioSport In-Ear Headphones.
These new headphones take 50 Cent’s recently launched SMS Audio Sport
collection and adds an unbelievable custom heart monitor that reads and collects fitness data, without the use of a bracelet, smartwatch, chest or arm
strap.
It is believed that the in-ear headphones will have a
tangle-free cord with a built-in microphone. SMS claims that the
patented ear-hook design will deliver a comfortable fit and allow the
sensors to do their work. The integrated optical sensor not only takes
your heart rate during exercise, but during states of relaxation as
well. When you’re working out, the sensors work to cancel out noise
caused by rigorous movement.
The Audio BioSports headphones
are compatible with RunKeeper, funneling all your pertinent fitness
information such as heart rate, pace, distance and calorie burn into the
app. From there, fitness buffs can track their progress and create
custom regimens. RunKeeper is currently the only app that will work with
the headphones, but Intel and SMS Audio promise additional support down
the line.
While integrating a biometric
sensor into a set of headphones is an impressive feat, the most
innovative thing about the SMS Audio BioSports is its power source.
Instead of relying on batteries that constantly have to be replaced or
charged, the in-ears are powered via the 3.5 mm gold-plated jacks found
on most smartphones and audio players.
The SMS Audio BioSport In-Ear
Headphones are set to launch sometime in the last few months of the
year. Neither company has announced an exact price, but said they are
targeting a sub-$150 price point. And i say if these in-ear headphones can actually deliver as said. Then i consider it a "Sold out" product especially in the U.S and U.K especially for that price. This is like having a full time
cardiologist at my service.
I Love this!
