- Synseer’s Healthbuds claim ‘Hearing, Heart and Health Monitoring’ perks
- An In-Ear Infra and Ultrasound Operating System Takes Your Heartheat
- The catch? Price – Plus the monthly subscription fee of $ 30 on top
When it comes to health tracking features, there is virtually nothing that the best smartwatches can’t do, but the Audio Company sight is aiming to be the next fitness tracking competition with its new healthcare wireless earphones.
Like the newly released Beats Powerbeats Pro 2, they are equipped with heart and ANC skills (Active Noise Cancel), but you also get Hearing Health Tech (the kind you find only in Apple’s Top-Tier AirPods Pro 2.
Synseer’s Healthbuds are launched today (March 10), and while they sound innovative on paper, there are a few catches you need to know about – and a subscription fee that leaves me with more questions than answers.
Synseer’s Healthbuds claim to pack simultaneously and hear health tracking, which is already a step up from a number of the best earplugs – with the exception of the above -mentioned Powerbeats Pro 2, Sennheiser Momentum Sport earbuds and a few others. Healthbuds are designed for tracking around the clock, which means they work in the background while taking a call or listening to your favorite songs.
Using an In-Ear Infra and Ultrasound Operating System to detect changes within the ear, Healthbud’s Synseer’s first personal health unit designed to be an ‘affordable’ option for fitness tracking headphones. I’ve seen a lot of scandalous price pieces tech, but none of them get close to what you’re about to find out.
A subscription fee on top of an already hefty price tag?
Healthbuds are available for pre -order now and will start sending later this summer, and according to sights you are eligible for a discount if you lock a pre -order now. Instead of paying $ 799 (which is around £ 620 or AU $ 1,260), those who pre -order healthbuds may demand them for $ 399, which is … better but far from the ‘big value’ price tag mentions in his press release.
And that doesn’t even scrape the surface for on top of this fee you have to pay a monthly subscription of $ 25 (usually $ 30). What additional benefits do this buy specifically? We are not sure – sights have not revealed the details yet.
It is a big question – especially from a relatively unknown sound company – to demand hundreds of dollars for a whole new set of earplugs, and then sets a further monthly fee equivalent to $ 300 a year to the reduced rate. You could expect a fitness subscription to offer benefits such as advanced fitness tracking and maybe hearing aid technology, but it seems that sights are already offering it through the health buddles themselves, so the subscription benefits remain a mystery. And let’s not forget that AirPods Pro 2 offers specific iOS ecosystem benefits, such as finding my, main track spatial sound using Apple Music (although the music service is not free, it’s true) Sound sharing and so on when paired for your iPhone, all for $ 249.
How can sights compete? Will accuracy be enough? If the company’s health bids actually prove a reliable health device (something to take the place of medical quality apparatus), maybe. It’s impossible to tell right now. Maybe sights have something extra up the sleeve, otherwise it may be a case of misleading pricing. I keep my ears peeled for more information (which is admittedly thin on earth at the moment), but as things stand, sights have not yet sound as sincere as you hope, for this kind of money …
