JBL Headphones with Wave-To-Control Technology

Posted on the 15 January 2015 by Jyoti Arora @Jy0tiAr0ra

Remember the time when changing channels on TV or songs on audio system or adjusting volume etc. needed a walk up to the device for the manual turning of knobs or pushing of buttons? Well, of course that time is long gone by. We now have our beloved remote controls to control our device with. But seeing the direction that the advancing technology is taking, even these remote controls are going to become obsolete  soon. Because what we now have is motion commands. Yes, just control your devices by your gestures. I have seen high-end televisions that obey the command of such motion gestures. Recently, I came to know about headphones that can obey the commands of your hand gestures as well.

Yes, HARMAN, the premium global audio, infotainment and enterprise automation group , has recently introduced advanced in-ear Bluetooth headphones that have motion sensor control. That is, they can be controlled with motion commands.

Michael Mauser, president of the HARMAN Lifestyle Division said, “These products demonstrate HARMAN’s continued drive to use technology for simplifying and elevating consumers’ experiences with their devices. The JBL Reflect Response™ BT and JBL S210BTare the first in the world to offer users command of the audio with only a hand movement, an unprecedented level of convenience and control.”

It sometimes get frustrating managing the small controllers attached with usual headphones. Controlling  music or answering calls with just a wave of hand might feel far more convenient in comparison. The new and advanced headphones called JBL Reflect Response™ BT and the JBL Synchros S210 BT are equipped with motion sensors and wave-to-control technology that makes it possible to control audio and pick up calls with motion commands.

Not only are these headphone equipped with innovative wave-to-control technology, they have also been designed to ensure better comfort. JBL Reflect Response™ BT has an in-the-ear, behind-the-neck ergonomic sports design and sweat-proof technology making them more comfortable to wear and use over an extended period of time, even through strenuous activity like exercising. These headphones are available in red, blue, green and black colors and come with a reflective cable that can prove useful during outdoor activities at night.

JBL Synchros S210BT headphones also ensure similar wearing comfort over extended periods of time and are also equipped with the wave-to-control technology. They also promise a superior audio output with their two-way hybrid driver design.

Both the JBL Reflect Response™ BT and the JBL S210BT are equipped with the Bluetooth functionality.

All in all, these two new headphones do sound like good options for those looking for headphones that are more comfortable to wear and give good audio output. Their innovative wave-to-control sure sounds like fun and convenient.
