Jaybird Freedom specs:
Type: In-ear

Impedance: 16 Ohms
Frequency Response: 20Hz – 20 kHz
Battery Capacity: 60mAh Li-Po
Battery Life: 8 hours

The buds, which are 20% smaller than the previous iterations, are also made using metal-injected moldings and features a separate three-button remote where all the technology is kept. The built-in battery has a claimed 4 hours of life but the package comes with a portable charger that gives out another 4 hours of continuous playback.

The company is also introducing MySound which is only compatible with models starting with Freedom. It basically lets you control and customize your music from volume to EQ. The Jaybird Freedom is priced at $199 (Php9.3K).

Although we commonly see Epson with their printers (with some lasting 2 years on a single ink refill), the Tokyo-based giant announces its new Runsense SF-110 wearable that targets individuals with an active lifestyle.

The Runsense SF-110 tracks the wearer’s activities like the steps taken, calories burned, distance, pace, time, laps, altitude, and more. This wearable, just like most of its peers, transfers accumulated data onto a smartphone using the company’s Epson Run Collect app. What’s good about this is that the device could sync its data not just through its own software, but also using other apps like MapMyRun or Strava.

Below are some of its key features:

  • GPS tracking — track your route and distance run via a highly-accurate sensor that quickly locates the nearest signal
  • Track daily steps — built-in accelerometer counts every step
  • Count daily calories — identify how many calories you’ve burned throughout the day
  • Lap timer — keep track of your time, lap by lap
  • Supports popular running apps — easily transfer your data to MapMyRun, Strava and others
  • Long battery life — seven days of fitness tracking and 10 hours with GPS on
  • Small, lightweight and water resistant — won’t interfere with your workout
  • Easy-to-read LCD display — view real-time data
  • Available in three stylish colors — choose the look that fits you best

The Runsense SF-110 is available in three colors including black, green and bright blue for $139 (approx. Php6.5K). It is up for orders through specialty running retail shops and Epson.com.

We’ve previously seen Misfit‘s activity wearing device, and now the company unveils a more affordable gadget that tracks what you do on the day, and even when you sleep at night. The company also released a new app that adds new features to its devices.

The Misfit Flash Link looks the same as the Php7K-worth Misfit Shine. It also has the same basic features (monitoring steps, calories burned, distance, sleep quality and duratio) but the new Flash Link is cheaper at $19.99 (approx. Php900 if directly converted). In addition, the tracker clips on to the user, instead of wearing it like a bracelet.

On the other hand, they also announced their new app — the Misfit Link. As mentioned earlier, this app offers new functionalities to the user like acting as a wireless camera shutter trigger and music controller.

The new Misfit Link app lets you use any Flash to take a selfie with your phone camera app or Snapchat; control your music with Spotify, Pandora, and more; or advance slides in a presentation. Additional functionality is coming soon, including IFTTT and Logitech Harmony integrations. The iOS app is available for download now; an Android version will be released next month.

Interested? It’s still unclear when the affordable Flash Link will be available in the Philippines, but if it does make it here there’s a good chance that we’ll be seeing it again on PowerMac just like the Misfit Shine.
