The Eamey Primo3 is an innovative wireless headset that offers audio playback as well as activity tracking. The device is capable of streaming radio via its built-in FM module and can also store music locally via a microSD card reader. This device is perfect for people who'd rather not take their smartphone around when they go for a run.
This functionality is impressive given the extremely low cost of the device -- currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign, pledges start at just $13. The device will cost $16 once available on the market.
The Primo3 is powered by a rechargeable 190-mAh battery which offers 24 hours of audio playback on a single charge. The wire connecting the two earpieces is made from flexible metal that snaps back into shape when the headset isn't in use.
