The monitors were created taking into account comments and feedback from in-ear monitor users. Seeing as how these in-ear monitors are designed for use during exercise, they need to be [sweat-proof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ript-ultra-headphones) and these monitors clearly are, with their full-body nano-coating able to protect against moisture and corrosion. The monitors will also include a trio of detachable cables, with two of them intended for sports -- one being short for armband use and a longer one with an in-line remote. The Atlas in-ear monitors are currently the subject of a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fosi-audio-im4) campaign that aims to raise money for their production. These monitors will surely be appreciated by people who liked to listen to music while active without being physically distracted. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sweat-proof Ear Monitors:** Creating in-ear monitors that can withstand sweat and moisture, allowing for use during physical activity. - **Customizable Detachable Cables:** Designing ear monitors that have multiple detachable cables for different physical activities or personal preference. - **Crowdfunding for Audio Technology:** Using crowdfunding platforms, like Kickstarter, to fund the development and production of new audio technology. ### Where This Applies - **Fitness Technology:** Developing audio technology that can be used during physical activity, creating a new sector for fitness technology. - **Music Industry:** Partnering with audio technology companies to promote and sell high-end ear monitor products as a new source of revenue. - **Crowdfunding:** Promoting and hosting crowdfunding campaigns for new audio technology products, disrupting traditional funding models and allowing for direct customer input. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Open-Backed In-Ear Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fosi-audio-im4.md) - [Affordable Audiophile In-Ear Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andromeda-10-inears.md) - [High-Performance In-Ear Monitor Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highperformance-inear-monitor.md) - [High-Quality Ear Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highquality-ear-monitors.md) - [Pro-Grade Athlete Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anker-soundcore-aerofit-pro.md) - [High-Energy Workout Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anker-soundcore-sport-x20.md) - [Professional-Grade In-Ear Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luna-inear-monitors.md) - [High Fidelity Earphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luna-inear.md) - [High-Intensity Sports Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highintensity-sports-headphones.md)
