Intense Gymming and Intense Jamming!

Posted on by

Just like you’ve got regular drinks, and then you’ve got Red Bull; you’ve got regular earphones, and then you’ve got the AxumGear. Even with its small size, it’s a beast of an earphone, and it’s meant for people who beast it out physically training themselves. Most earphones have a trade-off between aesthetics, compactness, and sound-quality. AxumGear isn’t most earphones. In spite of its size, the earphones implement the M-Void technology, used in high-end automotive audio systems to generate high-fidelity sound with a mesmerizing surround sound experience. Now imagine that feeling packed in two earbuds that fit into your palm! The AxumGear are machined out of metal and come ensconced beautifully in a silicone case that nestles in your ear cavity (the concha). The silicone jacket design ensures the AxumGear never fall out clumsily while working out, no matter how intense your routine is. The silicone jacket is designed to be waterproof too, so you can sweat it out while listening to your jam. The jackets visually form a transparent layer on top of the metal, giving it a brilliant matte finish. The red streaks almost echo power and speed (here comes my red bull metaphor!).

The AxumGear are wireless as wireless gets. They come in a svelte triangular metal vial which also doubles up as a charging case. Just place the earphones into their respective docks and they charge wirelessly. The docking vial/case gives the earphones up to 4 extra hours of playback. And with the playback being backed by M-Void’s stellar audio reproduction technology, those four hours of workout are going to be hella awesome!

Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless Earphones Also Include a Heart Rate Monitor

Jabra Sport Pulse Wireless Earphones

Renowned for the Bluetooth earpieces it makes, Jabra is now looking to add a twist to its products, by adding heart rate monitor functionality to wireless earphones.

Just in case the name of these Jabra wireless earphones wasn’t suggestive enough, the design of Sport Pulse indicates quite clearly that these are made for working out. From here on, the company doesn’t care that much if you’re running or lifting weights, as in both cases you might want to know your heart rate zones. Monitoring this aspect while performing physical activities is essential for making a progress, so Jabra decided it wouldn’t hurt if they added this functionality to a category of products they’re already good at making.

Jabra Sport Pulse tick all the boxes when it comes to convenience while working out. They feature a sleek design, comfortable to wear, and they don’t have any long wires to disturb you while running.

Much like Bose’s Quiet Comfort QC20, Jabra Sport Pulse include an earhook tip that keeps the earphones in place while moving around. Manufacturers of sports headphones have been testing multiple designs to make sure that the devices don’t fall off the ears during high-impact training of any sort. Jabra decided that the earhook is the most convenient way of preventing the headphones from coming loose.

Once used exclusively for taking or placing calls, Bluetooth earphones are now turned into an intermediary between your favorite music that’s being played on your smartphone, and your ears. After all, music is among the most powerful motivators while working out, and Jabra seems to have become aware of that.

The heart rate monitor included in the earphones transmits the collected data to Jabra Sport Life, a mobile app that’s available both on Android and iOS. And this is exactly where the workout improvement thing comes into play. The app provides voice feedback and enables users to set personal goals based on distance, time, burned calories, and desired heart rate.

Since Jabra Sport Pulse feature Dolby DSP, users are able to change the way music sounds using the equalizer included in the app.

These wireless earphones will be available starting on October 1, and will cost $200, which is a bit of a steep price for this kind of products, even with the added functionality.

Earin Earphones Ditch the Cord, Go Completely Wireless

Earin Wireless in-ear headphones

Mobile music lovers hate wires, and that’s a fact! If they loved them, they would stay at home, hanging at the edge of their seats, with a pair of gigantic wired headphones connected to their reel-to-reel tape recorder.

Malmö, Sweden-based Earin is a company that means to revolutionize how wireless headphones look and work, by miniaturizing them. The tube-shaped carrying case that the Earin buds come in could be easily mistaken for a keychain, and these in-ear headphones for sound blockers. Instead, they represent a creative solution for

As Earin’s Olle Linden pointed out, “Wires (are) always the first point of irritation with headphones. They are in the way, create sound when touching your clothes or cheek, and get pulled out of my ears whenever I am on the move.”

Linden also admits that what inspired him to create these in-ear headphones was the “Definitely Maybe” flick that featured Ryan Reynolds walking down the street with a pair of wireless earphones, while listening what he claimed to be “the soundtrack of a perfect day.” Since plenty of Star Trek technology is available nowadays, why not allow a Ryan Reynolds movie be the inspiration for new products? Linden started working on this concept in 2008, and today we get to see his dream become a reality.

The main question about these wireless earphones is how good is their sound quality. If it’s not that great, then maybe it’s worth having some cables that are in the way, if with that also comes better sound quality. Other than that, they definitely look great, and are pretty inconspicuous. Best of all, you can fall asleep while wearing them, provided that the music you’re listening to is appropriate for REM.

Some people also noticed that one thing the Earin wireless earphones are is easy to lose. They do pack cutting-edge technology, but they’re quite easy to misplace, even when placed in that bullet case.

Earin is currently featured on Kickstarter, where its creators have already raised almost double the £179,000 they were asking for mass producing these tiny wireless earphones. You still have 36 more days to secure a pair of Earin wireless earphones for the equivalent of $134. As wireless headphones go, these are on the expensive side of things, but the hi-tech that was put into them might well be worth it.
