Because of the unique physiology of the ear, wearers can get more accurate health and fitness metrics with earbuds than with other devices, especially when moving around and/or engaging in physical activity. The unprecedented accuracy of these physiological metrics, provided in real-time, helps consumers customize and personalize data to help meet their specific goals. Users can view these metrics live through applications on their iPhone, Android phones, or other smartphone devices.
