Misfit Specter Smart In-Ear Headphones Announced

[CES 2016] Right now there seems to be one product that aims to do one thing, but if you’d rather not wear so many devices or carry that many items with you, Misfit might have something for you. The company recently announced the Misfit Ray activity tracker, but that’s not all because they have also announced another device, the Misfit Specter.

As you can see in the photo above, the Misfit Specter is a pair of in-ear headphones, but these aren’t your typical pair of headphones, these are actually smart headphones. Why smart, you ask? This is thanks to the fact that the headphones actually comes with an accelerometer built into them.

What this means is that in addition to you being able to listen to music while on the go, they can also keep track of your activity. For those who fall asleep with headphones on, the Specter can also be used to track your sleep. The headphones were designed in partnership with 1MORE and will feature dual driver technology.

The Specter headphones will play nicely with Misfit’s Link platform. Unfortunately additional details about the Specter such as its pricing and availability were not shared, but the company states that more details will be revealed soon as the headphones are expected to go on sale in the spring of 2016.
