Meet Samsung?s Cord-Free Earbuds, Gear IconXPosted by kamal on August 11th, 2016 Music can be a good partner for working out. If the music is good, a workout can be a much more fulfilling and exciting experience. But carrying both a smartphone and earphones while working out is pretty unwieldy and inconvenient. Bluetooth earphones have freed runners from the earphone wires, but they still require bringing along a phone to play the music.For these people, Samsung launched the latest wearable device Gear IconX last week. Featuring a truly cord-free earbuds design, a heart rate monitor and standalone music player, the Gear IconX provides a whole new fitness experience.When you first see the Samsung Gear IconX, you might be perplexed a little. It’s because you cannot find a power switch.With curiosity, you begin to explore the Gear IconX by choosing the right size wingtip and eartip for you – the Gear IconX comes with three sizes of each.Not knowing what else to do, you plug one earbud into your ear. Instantly, you can hear a light “buzzing” sound. When you insert the other earbud, you hear a “ding dong” sound and a voice saying “connected.” And then, the default music just starts playing. They simply turn on automatically when you put them in their ears, and turn off when you take them off. A heart rate monitor in the earbuds recognizes when you have them in place. Like it?
