A pair of high-end in-ear wireless headphones called PineBuds are on the horizon. These include features most would expect in 2022, like ambient and environment noise cancellation, and a lengthy battery life. The earbuds will also be end-user flashable, opening up a world of possible uses.

“There will be a wide variety of things developers and (eventually) end-users will be able to do with the earbuds – flash custom sound signatures, determine touch controls, adjust resonance to fit the user’s ear canal resonance,” Pine64 say.

If I can change the batteries, that would be a major winner for me!

    Why do you need this when you can use simple wired headphones?

    Clearly because of wires and just about why wireless options exist about anything… It’s not like wireless headphones are something new, there is clearly people buying them and cheaper options have appeared than when they first came out.
