While the earpiece design makes these earbuds ideal for exercise and activity, and passive noise cancelling is conducive to a more serene listening experience, these buds go well beyond just playing music.
First of all, they can actually store up to 1,000 songs locally so you can leave your phone in the car when you head to the gym, and you can still enjoy your music in service dead zones. On top of that, they also act as a fitness tracker. The integrated sensor tracks heart rate, steps, cadence, strokes, duration, and more all in real-time so you can get live updates as you workout.
