Getting fit usually means wristbands and watches, but a handful of companies are trying out ears. Samsung is now in the fitness earphone game with the Gear IconX, debuting later this year. They're small buds that combine fitness tracking with Bluetooth earphones that also can store music locally. Samsung's Gear IconX heart-rate fitness earbuds are completely wireless... IconX earbuds will sync with Samsung S Health, but also pair with Endomondo, MapMyRun, Runkeeper and Strava as a Bluetooth heart rate monitor.

Fitness tracker: Without the need for a phone, Gear IconX has you covered. Whether you're walking or running, it's smart enough to track your activity and give updates on essential data from speed, distance and duration to heart rate and calories burnt via a dedicated voice guide.

*Heart rate monitor: intended for fitness purposes, and not intended to diagnose any disease or condition, nor mitigate, prevent, treat or cure any disease.

Track your stats: Run with the Gear IconX in-ear voice guide to reach your vigorous-intensity zone. Recorded by real human beings in 15 different languages, motivation just got personal. By syncing with your smartphone after workouts, you can check your stats and monitor progress on the S Health app.

Powerfully small: It's a powerful life with Gear IconX. With a case that doubles as a charger, you can power your Gear IconX while it's resting, letting you launch into those extensive workout sessions with a good soundtrack without missing a beat.

Control with a touch: Tap and hold to hear voice prompts guide you through Gear IconX's functions from playing music and taking or rejecting calls to turning on the ambient sound mode. When you hear the function you need, lift your finger to activate it.
