High-Tech Hands-Free Harnesses

The Sonic Walk Igniter is a Water-Resistant Music Player

— April 11, 2012 — Tech
The Sonic Walk Igniter makes listening to music and carrying a few key items on a walk or jog a little less cumbersome.

Outfitted with water-resistant speakers and a promised ten hours of battery life, the high-tech harness sits on one's body similarly to a backpack. The water repelling technology is ideal for protecting electronic devices from rain or sweat.

The device allows for hands-free music playing and comes equipped with a stereo jack and hostler to accommodate any MP3 player, while the fanny pack-like pouches on the side provide just enough space to easily carry keys, a wallet, a cellphone or any other essential items that one needs to have on hand while they exercise outside of their home.

The pseudo backpack boombox can be charged up using any computer and offers a easier way to carry music and personal belongings when one is getting some exercise.



Trend Themes
1. Water-resistant Wearables - Opportunities exist for wearable tech companies to innovate and create similar water-resistant harnesses.
2. Hands-free Audio Accessories - Businesses could develop innovative and comfortable audio accessories that allow for hands-free listening during exercise and other activities.
3. Multi-purpose Carrying Devices - There is potential for companies to design and create multifunctional carrying devices that can store personal items and provide audio entertainment at the same time.
Industry Implications
1. Wearable Technology - Companies in the wearable tech industry could benefit from this trend by developing similar products that offer water-resistant features.
2. Fitness and Sports Accessories - Opportunities exist for companies to create comfortable and functional audio accessories that can be worn during exercise and other physical activities.
3. Consumer Electronics and Accessories - Manufacturers of consumer electronics and accessories could develop innovative carrying devices that provide both audio entertainment and space for personal items.
