Introduction
Smart headphones, popularly known as hearables are electronic in-ear-devices designed to enhance the listening experience. Their application includes phone calls, music, noise cancellation, GPS navigation, medical monitoring, and fitness tracking as well as many other applications. In the future, Siri, Google Now, and virtual-reality applications will use hearables.
The term hearable was first introduced in April 2014 as a combination of the terms headphones and wearable. A hearable combines wearable technology with the basic principles of audio-based information services.
Hearables are the fastest growing segment in the wearable technology market. Hearables use wireless technology, enabling us to make personal and business calls, record medical data and provide feedback on our training programs at the gym. They also help us navigate via GPS and remind us of important appointments. Currently, there are several designs that use hearables for real-time translation.
