Earbuds are everywhere. You can buy them at the gas station. You can ask Santa for them. Or you can order them on Amazon. They come in all shapes and sizes, and they provide a range of sound quality and even fitness functions that have allowed them to become a major staple in our modern lives.
I have used a lot of earbuds over the years; wired and wireless varieties are staples in my everyday carry (EDC) kit. Whether it’s in the background or the focus, music inspires me.
But there’s more to it — I’m also a very active person. From walking through town to hiking through the woods, or mowing the lawn, I’m always on the move. During these times, I don’t like to zone out; I like to focus on how I’m performing and improve my performance. I always challenge myself and push my limits, so monitoring my vitals has become paramount to doing this sufficiently and safely.
This past spring, Sennheiser launched the MOMENTUM Sport earbuds. In a feat of innovation, the brand aimed to pair premium-quality sound with fitness tracking. The result would be a pair of sound-thumping earbuds that track your heartbeat and temperature easily and accurately as well.
In short: Sennheiser’s MOMENTUM Sport earbuds don’t just provide a premium auditory experience. They can also track your heart rate and temperature more accurately than most of the fitness trackers on the market. If you enjoy good tunes while being active and want to keep tabs on your body’s performance, then these fitness earbuds were made for you.
