The Eamey Primo3 is an innovative [wireless headset](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riptlite) that offers audio playback as well as [activity tracking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lolliclip). 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.
