Should you buy the Gear IconX (2018) Well, Rs 13,990 may look like a lot of money for a Bluetooth headphone, but it's not something that the mass audience will buy. The premium headphones are for the ones who want truly wireless freedom and have the kind of money to spend.

The battery life on these earbuds is only decent at best, and you can get an estimated time of 1.5 hours while you will be able to use it for playing music and to use it for the fitness tracking features.

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 newest fitness gadget aims for the ears, with two independent wireless buds and full on-board fitness tracking.
