To think that earbuds can now be worn without cords is something to shout about. I can’t expressly explain the number of times people have had to untangle their ear cords and in the process, get it developing one fault or the other. What is harder to explain is how wonderful it is to completely do your workouts without a cord dangling around your neck line like a stole–nut just that, all covered in sweat. To have to even move around with music coming from somewhere deep in the back-centre of your head and almost forgetting that you’re wearing headphones is something next to divine–to say the least.

So How Does Samsung’s Gear IconX Wireless earbuds Work?

When you first see the Samsung Gear IconX, you might be perplexed a little. It’s because you cannot find a power switch. But not to worry, this is what you do. When you put on a piece of your wireless earbud, instantly, you will hear a light “buzzing” sound, by the time you completely insert the other earbud, you will hear a “ding dong” sound and a voice saying “connected.” Now you have successfully connected the earbuds and instantly the default music will starts playing. They simply turn on automatically when you put them in the ears, and turn off when you take them off.

How does the music work during exercise?

You can listen to music by coupling it with your smartphone, like any other Bluetooth headset. But one advantage of the Gear IconX is that it can play music without a smartphone. The earbuds have internal memory for storing music – up to 1,000 songs. That means you don’t need to carry your smartphone around because the earbud is a stand-a-lone convenience player.

How do you transfer your music to the earbuds?

This is where the USB connector and charging case come in. The charging case serves as a case for the earbuds, keeping them safe and also providing up to two additional charges. But the charging case has one more function – transferring music to the earbuds.

Once you connect the charging case to your Galaxy smartphone by the USB connector and launch the Samsung Gear app, you can manage the Music Setting. You can check out the songs saved on earbuds. If you select ‘Add‘ at the top of the screen, the songs saved on the smartphone will appear.

How does the music function during exercise?

Once you are set for your workout, firmly fix the earbuds in your ears and lightly tap once– the music will start playing. Right away, you can notice that surrounding noises are being blocked, so you can simply enjoy the sound of your music without environment interference. The buds are also flash resistant.

If you need an energetic song to ginger you while you run, with two taps to the side of one earbud, the player advances to the next song, and with three taps it goes back to the previous song. You can also control the volume by swiping the earbud up or down. When you need to remain aware of your surroundings, like when you’re standing on a busy street, it is easy to turn on the Gear IconX’s ambient sound mode.

So in other to get the fitness functions started, you need to tap and hold one of the earbud’s touchpad, you will hear the Gear IconX announce “workout started.” It’s time to get started. After running about 1 km, the device informs you of your workout distance, time, speed, heart rate and how many calories you have burned so far, as measured by the in-ear heart rate sensor. With this, it is really encouraging to know you are actually making progress and getting into shape as you exercise.

What more? Of course, you can use the Gear app to also choose what kind of workout information to receive and how often to receive it. The Gear IconX automatically recognises two types of workouts – running and walking – and it is integrated with S Health, so it offers a thorough range of health-related tips and functions.

 

Finally, if you get a message or notification when you’re wearing the Gear IconX, it alerts you and reads it for you. This voice guide is provided in fifteen languages at the moment. You can also respond to incoming calls using the earbud of your choice, left or right.

Guess what? The Gear IconX wireless earbuds will be available in variety of colours; white, blue, and black and will launch later this year, July-September! Can’t wait to try it out, trust you feel the same way too!!!
