Incorporated with headphones, the goggles are capable of being used to keep the swimmer entertained by playing their favorite music. This functionality is controlled via a pressure sensitive pad that enables users to skip through tracks, adjust the volume and more without having to utilize the connected device that's streaming the music. The Nike+ Swimming Goggles utilize [bone conduction technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bone-conduction-waterproof-headphones) in order to play music for the wearer, which means that users won't have to put anything into their ears in order to enjoy their own tunes during swim practice. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Bone Conduction Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the application of bone conduction technology in other sports equipment, such as helmets or eyewear. - **Swimming Wearables:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop more advanced swimming wearables that provide not only music but also performance data and real-time coaching. - **Pressure-sensitive Controls:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate pressure-sensitive controls into other fitness accessories, like workout gloves or resistance bands. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Sporting Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a new line of sporting goods that incorporate music playback capabilities for enhanced motivation during activities. - **Wearable Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expand the capabilities of wearable technology by incorporating audio features that are water-resistant and suitable for activities like swimming. - **Fitness Apps:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with swimming goggles manufacturers to integrate their product with fitness apps, enabling users to track their workouts and receive personalized recommendations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Underwater-Safe Smart Goggles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-swim-2.md) - [Swimming-Friendly Headphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-outlier-free-pro.md) - [Waterproof Bone Conduction Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openswim-pro.md) - [Underwater Bone Conduction Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suunto-aqua.md) - [Augmented Reality Swim Goggles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augmented-reality-swim-goggles.md) - [Proprietary Connection Swimming Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swimming-headphones.md) - [Athletic Open-Ear Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openear-bone-conduction-headphones.md) - [Underwater Bone Conduction Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonar-pro.md) - [Bone Conduction Waterproof Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bone-conduction-waterproof-headphones.md)
