As our devices become more advanced and feature-driven, even the peripheral accessories that we have are also getting smarter as well, to the point that some don’t even need a smartphone to function anymore. The new Streamz over-ear headphones has built-in storage and the capacity to stream music services like Spotify, Pandora, etc so it can function without being tethered to another device or to any wires, making it a truly smart headphone.
The Streamz headphones itself runs on the Android OS and has a 1.7GHz quad-core processor. It even has a 128 x 128 OLED color display with keyboard panel so that you can control everything directly from the headset. But you can also use the Android app on your smartphone if you want as it has Bluetooth connectivity as well so you can connect it just like you would any other headphones.
It has 36GB internal storage so you can save a certain number of albums and songs directly on the device. It supports various music files including FLAC, ALAC, MP3, and WAV up to 96kHz/24-bit HD DAC. There are over 150 Chromecast apps that can be streamed over to Streamz so you’ll never run out of music to listen to whether it’s from saved files directly onto the headphones or to streaming music.
But you’d have to hold your musical horses a little while longer. The Streamz headphones will be officially launched at the CES in January. The SRP is $400 and shipping will begin by March 2016.
