According to an Ex-Apple employee the company’s next set of headphones will be something great

Apple’s ship has sprung a leak. Apparently a disgruntled Apple employee has jumped onto Secret and shared some news about the new Apple EarPods which we’ll likely see debuted inside the iPhone 6’s box later this year.

Secret is a service where you can share details anonymously through your iPhone. According to the poster Apple’s next EarPods headphones will come with heart rate and blood pressure sensors inside. It’ll also come with iBeacons technology built in, so you can locate your earbuds anywhere. The leaker also claimed the next version of the headphones will work using Apple’s lightning port connecter.

The audio jack was moved to the bottom of the iPhone on the iPhone 5 and according to the leak it was to prepare for this move.

The story was picked up on Reddit, where many are sceptical of the source. It could well be that this was posted by an Ex-Nike employee as it’s reported the two companies are working very close on the next iPhone and its fitness focus.

Apple’s headphones have received some stick for being pretty naff in the past. Apple seems to be stepping up the improvements to make them a staple part of the portable iPhone experience.

We assume the heart rate monitor will be coming to accompany the rumoured new fitness features which will land on iOS 8. When you’re in the gym or out exercising you’ll likely be listening to music so it makes sense to connect up all the features into the headset.

Would you be interested in having so many features inside your headphones?
