Amazon is planning to release a new pair of Alexa-powered wireless earbuds, according to a new report from CNBC. Interestingly, the device is said to boast an accelerometer which would provide the backbone for a number of fitness-oriented features Amazon plans to include.
Specifically, the report notes that Amazon’s headphones will “be able to monitor things like distance run, calories burned and pace of running.” From what we can gather, it seems like Amazon’s wireless earbuds will be something of a cross between Apple’s AirPods and a standard fitness tracker. All in all, it sounds like a rather smart strategy.
