Verdict

The SMS Audio BioSport is a specialized in-ear biometric headphone developed in partnership with Intel, featuring a built-in optical heart rate monitor that tracks fitness data without a chest strap. These earbuds utilize 12mm drivers to deliver 'Studio Mastered Sound' and are IPX4-rated for sweat and water resistance, making them ideal for high-intensity workouts. A key advantage is their battery-free design; they draw necessary power directly from a smartphone via a gold-plated 3.5mm jack. While they offer accurate biometric tracking and a secure, comfortable fit with 'stay-fit' wings, notable drawbacks include limited app compatibility, lack of on-device volume controls, and sound quality that some users find lacking in deep bass.
