LG will launch Lifeband Touch and Heart Rate earphones on May 18th

[Guest Jared Peters]

 

LG’s answer to the growing popularity of fitness trackers like the Gear Fit and the Fitbit is their Lifeband Touch, which they

announced back at CES. It still has the OLED touch screen for checking notifications and answering calls, and it’ll use vibrations to alert you to text messages, emails, etc. It can track your fitness records with MyFitnessPal or Runkeeper, but LG is launching their own fitness app, too.

 

Alongside the Lifeband Touch, LG will also be launching Heart Rate headphones. These wireless Bluetooth headphones will function like normal headphones, but they’ll also be able to check your heart rate based on blood flow in your ear, and, if combined with LG’s fitness app, they’ll give you real-time fitness updates, too. Pretty fancy stuff.

 

Looks like 2014 is going to be the year of LG accessories, assuming the G Watch makes it to market by the end of the year.
