The SMS Audio BioSport In-Ear Headphones powered by Intel will debut later this year. The headphones will be able to measure your heart rate whenever you are wearing them. That will allow you to record your heart rate while you’re working out, walking, or even sleeping. By logging all of this data, Intel and SMS Audio can figure out your exercise patterns and figure out where you are falling short. It can then offer fitness advice that will get you working a little bit harder every day.

The device, which will deliver pulse-pounding audio in addition to the fitness metrics, is first to appear in Intel’s product roadmap since the company announced the fitness initiative in January. SMS Audio also recently unveiled its SMS Audio Sport Collection devices. SMS Audio is a global headphone and accessories brand aimed at providing high-quality sound, comfort, and fashion.

“The wearable technology collaboration between SMS Audio and Intel elevates our capability to bring smart exercise to consumers,” said Brian Nohe, president of SMS Audio. “With the introduction of the SMS Audio BioSport In-Ear Headphones powered by Intel, we’re now the first to provide this level of integrated, seamless and helpful biometric information to inspire customers to advance their fitness experiences.”

The device has a built-in optical sensor that continuously measures heart rate during intense exercise, states of relaxation and every moment in between – while dynamically removing noise signals caused by body motion and ambient light. This means that athletes won’t have to wear less comfortable chest strap style monitors to track their fitness. The headphones will be sweat and water-resistant. And they will synchronize with the RunKeeper step-tracking app. The headphones will also come with a tangle-free cord, an in-line microphone, neoprene carrying case, and three sizes of ear gels and hooks.
