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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 31% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Wireless Audio Playback:** Opportunity for companies to develop innovative wireless headsets that combine audio playback and activity tracking. - **Activity Tracking Devices:** Potential for companies to create activity tracking devices that offer additional features such as audio playback. - **Low-cost Wearable Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to produce affordable wearable devices with advanced functionality like activity tracking and music playback. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can explore the market demand for wireless headphones that incorporate activity tracking and music playback. - **Fitness Technology:** Fitness technology industry can consider integrating audio playback capabilities into their activity tracking devices to offer a more comprehensive solution. - **Wearable Technology:** Wearable technology companies can capitalize on the demand for low-cost devices by developing wearable headsets that combine activity tracking with other functionalities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pro-Grade Athlete Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anker-soundcore-aerofit-pro.md) - [Lightweight Sporty Earphone Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ports-earphones.md) - [Open-Air Wireless Earphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerofit-2.md) - [Low-Cost Spatial Audio Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1more-aero.md) - [Workout-Ready Open-Ear Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oneodio-openrock-pro.md) - [Hybrid Wearable Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neckphone-tri.md) - [Gym-Ready Workout Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workout-earbuds.md) - [Open-Ear Audio Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundcore-aerofit-2-pro.md) - [Heart-Monitoring Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartmonitoring-earbuds.md)
