Yeah, I see this coming down the pipeline too. Motorola pioneered this tech too a while back with the Moto Hint. There are still a few things that need to improve though before this tech goes mainstream.

Firstly, digital assistant technology needs to improve. There’s already a ton of progress being made here, but I think there’s still a ways to go before voice becomes viable as a primary mechanism for interacting with technology.

Secondly, battery tech needs to improve. These tiny in-ear headphones are great, but they don’t last all day yet. Wireless charging tech could also potentially solve this problem. (So you can charge your wireless earbuds without taking them out of your ear.)

Thirdly, someone needs to combine all this technology to create a compelling experience that gets this incoming revolution started. People need to be shown that this tech exists and that it is useful.
