This sports companion integrates Sony’s latest audio advancements with the latest sensor and software technologies to provide a holistic exercise experience.

It consists of the SSE-BTR1 headphone-integrated device that is packed with six types of sensors – heart rate, acceleration, GPS, compass, gyro and barometer.

These sensors measure and record 11 types of running logs – heart rate, burned calories, distance, time, speed, pace, cadence, steps, stride, running route and elevation.

Based on a preset user profile and heart rate goal, the Smart B-Trainer measures your heart rate and automatically selects music for efficient training.

Developed with the modern runner in mind, the Smart B-Trainer comes in a neckband-style housing, and is non-slip to provide you the freedom to run as you like.

Music tempo analysis is carried out by Sony’s 12 Tone Analysis technology, which extracts a variety of metadata through signal and statistical processing to analyse music waveforms.

The Smart B-Trainer has waterproof performance equivalent to IPX5/IPX8, so you can run without the worry of sudden rain showers.

When your heart rate is higher than your targeted speed, a song with slower tempo will be automatically selected to guide you to slow down, and vice versa when your heart rate is lower than the targeted speed.

Additionally, you can also adjust the tempo of the song to match your mood at the time of running.

“Smart B-Trainer for Running” is an app that enables you to manage running logs on your smartphone.

It also provides a selection of training plans, so you can choose one that fits your goals – be it to get in shape, build strength, or even to prepare for a marathon.

After making your selection, send the plan to the Smart B-Trainer via Bluetooth to begin training immediately.

There are two sets of training plans to choose from – Basic and Premium.

The Basic Plan offers a range of options, enabling you to manually set running goals for the day (time, distance, burned calories, pace, etc.), or select from theme-based trainings, such as “efficient fat burning” or “to improve endurance”.

The Premium Training Plan offers a selection of training plans for a variety of levels, from walking to marathon running.

Designed by professional coaches and other experts, the content is arranged in such a way that you can experience professional coaching, all from just voice instructions from the device.

After completing your workout, transfer your running log to the Smart B-Trainer for Running app to view the results.

Easily compare your current session with past records through graphs and comparisons, assess your progress, and aim higher.

The built-in memory of 16GB stores up to approximately 3,900 songs, so you won’t have to worry about running out of songs to listen to while exercising.

Additionally, it can be used as a Bluetooth headset to answer calls hands-free.
