When it comes to the Global Smart Headphones Market, it is interesting to recall that, wired and wireless headsets are the two main market segments with the wireless segment accounting for over 71% of the total market share in 2015, according to Technavio.
For those who are unfamiliar, the major difference between wired and
wireless headsets is the modes of receiving the audio signal. Wired headsets
use a direct cable because of which the receiver and the source are in physical
contact while wireless headsets use radio frequency to transmit the audio
signal.
Technavio reveals that, in the connected headphones market, Vendors
like Muzik are developing
headphones integrated with social media. These headphones can share songs that
a user is currently playing on the user's social media account.
Vow
headphones also help users connect with
music streaming services such as Pandora and Dublin Radio, and allow them to
chat with their friends who are using the same headphones.
Soundsight
Mobile is developing a headphone
technology that allows video recording with editing and mixing of music along
with the option of sharing the video online, to name a few.
