New Zealand-based Vivnnovation Limited's SenCbuds will automatically play or pause music, depending on whether the buds are in your ear or not. You no longer have to fiddle with your phone or the built-in button that comes with some headphones. These earphones are iOS- and Android-compatible and they come with a roll-up cable clip that also serves as a remote that lets you switch between songs or answer incoming calls through a built-in mic. And if you don't want people to bug you while you listen to music, it has a red LED indicator for that. Of course, you'll have to explain what the LED light means.
In terms of specs, the SenCbuds have 9mm drivers, 98dB sensitivity, 16 ohm impedance, and a 5kHz to 25kHz frequency range. It has a USB-rechargeable battery in the remote that is said to last over two weeks of "regular use" per charge. If the battery dies out before you charge it, the SenCbuds can still work as regular earbuds. Vivnnovation is raising funds to produce SenCbuds over at Indiegogo, if you pledge US$45, you can get a pair. Retail price is set at $70.
