This partnership brings together the aerospace-grade accuracy of LifeBEAM's technology with JBL's Signature Sound quality and Under Armour's elite sportswear performance. A CES 2016 Editors' Choice Award winner, the in-ear headphones let users monitor their heart rate while enjoying their favorite music, maximizing the enjoyment and results of their workout. "This alliance with JBL and Under Armour is the latest example of LifeBEAM's technological collaboration with leading performance sports brands to deliver the most sophisticated and accurate biometrics to help consumers reach their fitness goals," stated Zvika Orron, chief technology officer at LifeBEAM. "The inner ear provides one of the most accurate sources of biometric data, such as heart rate and motion, making these in-ear headphones the ideal accessory for improving performance while also rocking out to a personal playlist."
