Along w/ the Gear Fit 2, we got the 1st truly wireless earbuds from a big company: Samsung. Introducing the Gear IconX: wireless earbuds for fitness. Now let’s dive into the meat of what this actually entails.
The IconX offers audio powered by a dynamic driver, 2 mics on each earbud, 4GB of onboard storage (which will get you up to 1,000 songs), Bluetooth 4.1, a 47 mAh battery and can get up to 315 mAh while using the charging case, a splash-resistant coating, and sensors include an accelerometer, heart rate, capacitive touch.
The IconX earbuds can sync up your fitness data w/ the S Health app. It has a Voice Guide feature that offers up voice feedback on your workout progress and listening to music. The battery will only last you around 2 hours too BTW. Even though the battery life isn’t ideal, this is a 1st-gen device & these are for fitness. So keep those 2 points in mind.
The new Gear IconX will launch sometime later this year around the 3rd quarter for $200. Who’s interested in giving these a shot?
