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? Are you really going to flash code to your headphones, instead of simply installing a sound effects app on your phone? Sounds like a pure crash grab to me.

I‘ve stuck to wired ear buds for a long time. But when you‘re using them on the go, the cables have a tendency to break. After lots and lots of broken cables over the years, I made the switch to wireless. Very happy so far. My wireless buds have already outlived all their wired counterparts that I had before.

Omg I hope they'll be affordable as well. Would love to get these.
