Synseer Launches HealthBuds™ to Revolutionize Health
Synseer, an innovative health and wellness company, is set to debut HealthBuds™ at the SXSW 2025 event in Austin, Texas on March 10. These next-generation earbuds are designed to do more than just provide superior sound quality for music, calls, and gaming. Powered by Synseer’s breakthrough in-ear infra + ultrasonic operating system (OS), HealthBuds offer users the ability to monitor their hearing, heart, and overall health—all in a single, comfortable, and affordable device.
Better Hearing for Better Health
HealthBuds are unique in that they combine state-of-the-art hearing capabilities with advanced health monitoring. Through their innovative ear-tip design and embedded microphones, HealthBuds create a specialized environment called the AudioDome™. This allows for the highest-quality listening experience while also capturing valuable health data.
The connection between the ears and the heart is well-established, and HealthBuds leverage this relationship to help users listen to their heartbeats and track their hearing. These earbuds collect data with unmatched precision, higher frequency, and better fidelity than most traditional health devices. According to extensive testing, HealthBuds provide data comparable to expensive, in-hospital equipment, making them an accessible and effective option for everyday users. HealthBuds represent the first step in the creation of a comprehensive personal health and wellness ecosystem developed by Synseer.
A Personal Health Revolution
“Every body tells a story that can improve our health, but most of us are not equipped to understand or respond to what our bodies are telling us,” said John Martino, the founder and CEO of Synseer. Martino, a renowned technologist and entrepreneur, created Synseer with the mission to help individuals better understand and manage their health.
Martino’s vision for HealthBuds is not just about innovation in technology but about empowering individuals. “HealthBuds allow users to listen to the unique stories their bodies are sharing with them, giving them the tools to take charge of their health,” Martino explains.

Ari Popper, founder and CEO of SciFutures and an advisor to Synseer, also expressed his enthusiasm for the device, saying, “The moment I met John, it was clear he was building a future I immediately wanted to support. HealthBuds are a paradigm changer—giving people a simple, affordable, and unmatched way to monitor and maximize their hearing and heart health.”
Accessibility, Affordability, and Purpose
Synseer is not just focused on innovation; it’s equally dedicated to providing value and purpose. The company’s pricing model for HealthBuds reflects this philosophy. Scheduled for release in late summer 2025, HealthBuds will be available for a one-time purchase followed by a monthly subscription. Users will also be able to upgrade to a new version of HealthBuds every two years at no additional cost. This upgrade program ensures that customers always have access to the latest advancements without having to pay for new devices outright.
Once HealthBuds are returned for an upgrade, Synseer will refurbish the devices and donate them to people who are suffering from untreated hearing loss, the world’s costliest health issue. This charitable initiative will be supported through the company’s non-profit foundation, highlighting Synseer’s commitment to not just personal health but societal well-being.

For those attending SXSW, Synseer is hosting a special VIP event—Red Thread X—to showcase HealthBuds and provide more insight into their technology. This activation is open for free registration, and attendees will have the opportunity to experience firsthand how HealthBuds can revolutionize personal health monitoring.
