Available from October 14, 2019, the Pump Air 2 come at a time when smart earbuds are taking the consumer market by storm.
Global wearable device shipments grew 85.2% in the second quarter of 2019 (2Q19) as shipments totalled 67.7 million units according to recent data from IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker.
Ear-worn devices (hearables) were among the fastest-growing categories, capturing 46.9% of the overall wearables market during the quarter, up from 24.8% a year ago.
Driving that growth was a slew of new products and consumers who purchased their second wearable, a hearable, to use in parallel with existing watches or wrist bands.
