🔹 1. Smart Earbuds with a Built-In Screen (on the case)
Some earbuds come with a display screen on the charging case, not on the earbuds themselves. These screens typically show:
-
Battery level (for each earbud + case)
-
Connection status (Bluetooth pairing)
-
Touch controls or equalizer presets
-
Music info or notifications (in more advanced versions)
✅ Example:
-
LG Tone Free T90S
-
LED screen on the case
-
UVnano self-cleaning
-
Dolby Atmos support
-
-
NuraTrue Pro (with app control)
-
While the buds don’t have screens, the app mimics screen-like interactions
-
🔹 2. Futuristic or Niche Products
There have been concept designs or prototypes where each earbud has a tiny screen. These are rare, but might show:
-
Voice assistant response text
-
Notifications
-
Touch control status
These are not mainstream and may appear in Kickstarter-style concepts or smart assistant earbuds.
🔹 3. Alternative: Smart Glasses with Earbuds and Screen
Some products (like Ray-Ban Meta or Echo Frames) combine:
-
Built-in speakers near your ears (like open-ear earbuds)
-
Visual screen or HUD (heads-up display)
-
Smart assistant features
