In June, Samsung announced a pair of completely wireless earbuds as part of the company's push into fitness and activity trackers. The Gear IconX earbuds are truly wireless, save for the cord you need to charge the carrying case.
The Gear IconX earbuds rely solely on Bluetooth connection between your smartphone and each other to stream music, monitor your heart rate, and track your workouts.
For the past few weeks, I've used the Gear IconX earbuds with a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, my iMac, and an iPhone.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Battery: 47mAh in each earbud; 315mAh in case
- Waterproof: Splash resistant
- Storage: 4GB in each
- Sensors: Heart rate, accelerometer, capacitive touch
INITIAL SETUP
Inside the Gear IconX box is a pill-shaped carrying case that doubles as a charging cradle for the earbuds. Also included are various sizes of ear and wing tips to ensure a proper fit.
The moment you put an earbud in your ear, it powers on. The Samsung Gear app on an Android device walks you through the setup process of pairing, updating software, and setting the main earbud.
When you assign the left or right earbud as the "main" earbud, it will connect to your phone via Bluetooth, handle incoming calls, and initiate exercise recording.
