Samsung has just announced that the gear
icon X 2018
the second iteration of its fitness
tracking enabled wireless earbuds is
getting a major software update today
the icon X update comes a few days after
Samsung released updates for some of its
smartwatches and fitness trackers and it
includes both new features and
improvements to existing ones the new
features include an equalizer setting
which allows users to select from five
different presets bass boost soft
dynamic clear and treble boost and
should give a con X users with non
Samsung phones the ability to customize
the audio quality the ambient sound mode
feature is more customizable as well
users can now decide the amount of
ambient sound that they wish to hear
when they're wearing the icon X and a
separate toggle will make the earbuds
focus on human voices Samsung has also
added the ability to transfer music
tracks to the icon X over Bluetooth
naturally Bluetooth transfer can be
time-consuming especially if you decide
to send across hundreds of music files
to fill up the four gigabytes of
built-in storage on the icon X 2018 but
it's still a good feature to have as you
can't always have the necessary cables
available to use wired data transfer the
gear icon X 2018 update is available now
and can be downloaded from the Samsung
gear app on a connected phone the
Samsung gear app itself will need to be
updated first and you'll get a
notification to update to the latest
version when you open the app
