Industry insiders and experts are always busy speculating on what new advanced technology Apple is going to bring to the general public next. For the past few years, attention has been focused on the latest generation of the iPhone, smart watches, Apple TV and even a smart car, but the latest report sees Apple going in a slightly different direction: fitness tracking headphones.

Apple has been interested in breaking into the fitness industry for years, though it is only recently that reports have started to surface about their level of commitment. Back in 2008, the tech company filed a patent with the U.S Patent and Trademark Office for a "sports monitoring system for headphones, earbuds and/or headsets." On Tuesday, February 18, the patent was awarded to Apple, leading many to believe that it will now  begin producing this new style of headphones.

The earbuds would work by having sensors built directly into them, which would be able to detect your heart rate, perspiration, body temperature and other stats by coming into direct contact with your skin. The hands-free device would be convenient for those who want to monitor and track their progress while exercising or engaging in other kinds of physical activity. The headphones would also respond to your head movements, as leaning certain ways would be able to pause your music, skip to the next song or adjust the volume.

While this technology is still a ways off, shopping from PortableOne will allow you to choose from all of Apple's great existing products, such as the Macbook Pro or iPad mini. Contact us for more information on how you can get incredible deals from our website.
