 This year wireless earbuds have been a real big buzz topic. We've seen a couple of companies, a couple of startups try their efforts, and now we're looking at Samsung's new Gear Icon X. And these are truly wireless earbuds. They just sit in your ear, they can stream music to your ears, and they can also track a whole bunch of fitness things. Really, the fitness angle is what Samsung's big pitch here is. They can track your distance, your heart rate, it can interpret your calories burned, stuff like that, and it syncs with Samsung's S Health app on your phone, but it can also do all that stuff stand alone. Now these little earbuds come in a case, like you can see here, which charges them, provides 2x battery charge on there, but then they pop into your ear like so, when they'll automatically turn on. You got some basic commands on your touchpad here, very similar to the Bragi Dash in terms of shape and size, but they are really small, really light, and they're really easy to fit into your ear. Now battery life on these, when they're in a Bluetooth streaming mode, you're going to get about an hour and a half of battery life, but Samsung says that if you use the built-in storage, you can get up to 3.6 hours of battery life for just playing music, which is not too long, it's not going to last an entire flight, certainly not across the country, but you can wear them for a little while, especially certainly during a workout, pop them back into the case, and charge them back up, and they should be good to go. Samsung says that these are going to be available in Q3 of this year for about $199, which is a little less than what we've seen from other companies, and we'll be certainly taking a look at more of them when they hit the market. I dropped one. Look at this, you just threw me such a loop.ak
