The Gear Circle is a wearable jewelry-meets-technology product, devised by Samsung, that consists of magnetized earbuds that can be worn as a necklace.
All you have to do is clasp the gadget around your neck, and you will be able to make voice commands and listen to music from your 'necklace'. The Gear Circle even has a vibrate function that can be used to alert you to incoming calls and text messages. Music can be controlled by swiping the sides of the earbuds.
The back of the earbuds includes a compartment that contains a 180 mAh battery that will offer nine hours of audio and 11 hours of phone time.
The Gear Circle will sport a clean design and will come in white and blue options, with just the one button located on the actual earbuds. Samsung hasn't yet revealed the pricing of the product.
