These in-hear headphones track heart rate, speed, distance, elevation and calorie burn data for athletes even as they get pumped up by the music coming through their headphones. The Biosport headphones use [biometric optical sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lumia-2) in a unique ear-hook design. This ensures that the headphones stay secure and provide inspiring music for athletes and gym-goers, while their data is continually analyzed through a fitness app. These headphones independently harness energy, providing users with even more freedom in the gym or while training outdoors, as they don't need to carry extra batteries or chargers. The headphones are designed to be resistant to sweat and water, so users can give their all while training without having to worry bout anything else.
