Biometric EarPods are real -- but the product is called The Dash, made in Munich by Bragi. The Dash monitors movements like pace, steps, cadence and distance as well as heart rate, oxygen saturation and energy spent. Two tiny LEDs emit low intensity red and infrared light into the capillaries in the ear. The optical reflection of the emitted light reveal the relative amount of red and white blood cells more than 50 times every second. A precise heart rate and oxygen saturation level is calculated with the data.

The Dash Kickstarter is already fully funded; I'm a backer waiting with eager anticipation. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hellobragi/the-dash-wir...

I wouldn't go as far as to say they are "real" yet - they are still working on the prototype: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hellobragi/the-dash-wir...

The Dash looks really great. I'd love to read a review on these when they are delivered.
