BioSport In-Ear headphones, developed in collaboration between SMS Audio and Intel, are now available. The headphones deliver a high-quality audio experience while gathering actionable data on fitness progress.
The heart rate monitoring headphones integrate biometric sensors for fitness data collection – allowing users to track goals and progress to achieve peak physical performance.
BioSport push the envelope on in-ear headphones. An ear-wing design that sits deeper in the ear canal for continuous, real-time heart rate monitoring. The built-in sensor continuously measures heart rate while dynamically removing noise signals caused by the body's motion during a workout.
BioSport also includes technology that enables the 3.5mm gold-plated audio jack to power the headphones and biometric monitoring capabilities, so users have the freedom of on-the-go power.
Last but not least, BioSport is ultra-durable with a 40U-rubberised coating to resist chipping and scratching. The headphones are IPX4-rated for protection against sweat and resistance to water.
To help track your heart rate, pace, distance, elevation and calorie burn, the SMS Audio BioSport In-Ear Headphones are compatible with mainstream fitness app RunKeeper, with additional application support planned in 2015.
The BioSport In-Ear headphones are available online at smsaudio.com, amazon.com and bestbuy.com. BioSport headphones come in Sport blue, Sport yellow and Sport gray and retail for MSRP US$149.95. This price includes a free trial of the fitness app, Runkeeper Elite, a neoprene carrying case and three sizes of ear gels and hooks.
Founded by entrepreneur and music artist Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, SMS Audio is a premier audio, headphone and accessories brand. The collaboration between Intel Corporation and SMS Audio to develop BioSport was announced in August 2014, with investor and partner Carmelo Anthony.
