Fresh from the recent release of the fitness tracker Ray, the Fossil-owned wearable manufacturer Misfit launched the Misfit Specter which is the company's first set of in-ear wireless headphones.

Misfit dubbed the new Specter as the first "smart hearable" device. It combines the audio functions of a standard headphone and the sensors and trackers of a fitness monitor. Tech experts also lauded that Specter's excellent minimalist design.

The Misfit Specter works as a standard headphone, it can deliver music during workout and exercise routines while at the same time track its user's activity. It can monitor its user's steps, distance travelled, calories gained or burned and even sleep activities, provided that the user wears them while sleeping, according to CNet. The device can also be integrated to work with the Misfit Link app which allows users to control smart home devices like light bulbs.

By integrating the Specter with the Misfit Link app, users can user their wearable device in controlling music, change slides during a presentation, take pictures and even call their own misplaced phone. The app also works with the Misfit Bolt, the company's own smart bulb.

The Misfit Specter was developed together with Chinese acoustic company 1MORE. Misfit claims that the headphones are endorsed by four-time Grammy winner and renowned music producer Luca Bignardi.

According to Tech Crunch, the Specter features noise isolation technology, deep bass, clear treble and hearing protection safeguards. It also features an in-ear design coupled with magnetic ear buds and a dedicated voice call microphone.

The Specter's design makes it very comfortable to use even for a full day or when sleeping.

In order to function as a fitness tracker, the Specter has a small module located on one end of the cord. The module contains the accelerometer and it can be attached into the user's clothes so as not to constantly flap around as they move.

Just like other Misfit fitness trackers, the Specter syncs with the company's mobile app through Bluetooth connection.

Misfit vice president and general manager Preston Moxcey said in a statement, "We developed the next essential product that we believe our customers want - seamless, comfortable in-ear headphones that deliver high-end sound and useful connected functionality in a gorgeous form factor."

Misfit has yet to reveal the official release date and price of the Specter.
