We speak, nothing more and nothing less, of the monitoring of the heart rate from the headphones themselves. This function uses optical sensors to measure the pulse through blood flow, and is one of the most anticipated features by users to terrify in the airpods.
When the heart rate will arrive at the airpods
However, this technology is not yet present in Apple's own headphones and it seems that it will not be at least for a while. The arrival of this function to headphones marks a milestone in the integration of health and well -being in this type of devices, which so far, were simply music players. Something similar happened with smart watches, turning a product that only marked the time into a training partner and personal care, thanks to the inclusion of multiple sensors and technologies.
The headphones are demonstrating to be able to measure the heart rate with amazing precision and, best of all, they synchronize these data with the iPhone health app, so you will have all your data saved there to perform a complete monitoring of physical activities .
At the moment, and although many users have been claiming it for some time, this function is not available in the AirPods, and according to Mark Gurman, it is not expected to reach the end of 2025, with the Airpods Pro 3. However, This technology should be considered indispensablejust as it is in a clock. The ability to monitor heart rate directly from headphones is a health function that many users see as essential, especially for those who exercise without wearing an additional clock or monitor.
It is true, on the other hand, that most users, especially those related to technology, already have a clock among their devices capable of making this measurement, but at any time they decide to wear a traditional needle clock, They could monitor their heart rate through the headphonesso it would be a very successful function.
Powerbeats Pro 2: The best headphones of the moment
The Powerbeats Pro 2 optical system, which emit pulses more than 100 times per second, ensures a real -time measurement with total precision. In combination with fitness applications, this function allows more effective customization of training, adjusting routines automatically according to the user's needs.
If Apple manages to incorporate this sensor in the Airpods Pro 3, it would be a true revolution, allowing users not only to enjoy high quality sound, but also to carry a exhaustive control of your health At all times.
Although Apple Watch remains the main device for heart rate monitoring, Powerbeats Pro 2 show that headphones also have great potential to integrate into user's health. This function should not be an option, but should be mandatory.
