Amazon's "AirPods" not only would they be closer but they would arrive with functions focused on health and physical activity, they would cost less than 100 euros and integrate Alexa. But it will not be the only thing that Amazon launches according to the latest news around the internet giant.
New Echo and new wireless headphones from Amazon
The news of Amazon developing its own wireless headphones, its rivals the popular Apple AirPods is not new. Since the beginning of the years we have been hearing about something that is obvious that sooner or later they will end up doing.
Well, it seems that it will be sooner rather than later. According to media reports like CBNC, Amazon would be close to presenting its own wireless headphones. These would come with Alexa integration, although you will need an iOS or Android device with the application installed, they will also have a price of less than $100 to be more competitive, good audio quality and, most interestingly, health-related functions.
Thanks to the integration of different sectors, Amazon headphones would be able to quantify the user's physical activity. This would be very attractive for different possible uses. Therefore, this double functionality, listening to audio and health, would make them an attractive option for thousands of users.
However, for Amazon Maybe the integration with Alexa is the most important thing. Because in his eagerness to take his assistant anywhere, headphones like this would be the ideal option to offer a most intimate experience and usable in all kinds of places, establishments, etc. And not only at home through its Echo speakers, which is currently where Alexa is used the most.
And while we're talking about Alexa and speakers, Amazon would also be preparing a new echo with improved audio quality. A device that with a higher performance integrated subwoofer it would offer a better experience that, we suppose, would make it compete against options like the HomePod. The Apple speaker for many is one more smart speaker with the particularity of using Siri. But it really is not the most correct approach, it has Siri, it is true, but for Apple it is a device to enjoy the highest sound quality and not so much a speaker with any assistant.
In summary, when these proposals would arrive is something that for now we do not know when it will happen for sure. It will depend on how far along the development is. If it were before the end of the year, it would be an idea, because Christmas arrives, which is an ideal time for shopping and gifts. But for now we can only wait for official news.
Likewise, no matter how much something similar to the AirPods is promised, we will have to see what is left of everything and if they comply. Many other manufacturers have tried to come up with a competitor, but no one has really succeeded. And that there are proposals that offer better sound quality and aspects as differential as the noise cancellation of the Sony WF-1000 M3. Let's see what happens.
