Opinion: Latest feature-packed hearables are ensuring better connectivity and a seamless ecosystem

We are amidst a connectivity revolution, at the heart of which are connected devices. Whether it is Truly Wireless Stereo (TWS), home appliances or mobility solutions, everyday products are becoming smarter and making human-machine interactions smoother and more effortless.

Increasingly, when affluent consumers want the most cutting-edge product, they expect it to have connectivity – in one form or another built-in because, in addition to being easy to use, such devices grant users control over other connected devices. Case in point, most cutting-edge home appliances and devices have in-built connectivity. Households can control these devices remotely from an app on their smartphone or smartwatch.

Such millions of connected devices across the world never work in isolation. They are part of an ecosystem whose central nervous systems are vast and powerful data centres. Connected devices constantly relay information about their surroundings to such data centres.

Hearables are one of the most significant recent advances in the connected devices space.

The Development of Hearables
Hearables are devices that are worn on or inside a human ear. Though small and inconspicuous, hearables are connected devices that, in addition to letting users listen to audio, collect vital information about the human body and send it to data centres for monitoring and processing.
