    December 19, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pioneer Corporation, founded in 1937, is a leader in optical disc technology and a preeminent manufacturer of high performance audio, video and computer equipment for the home, car and industrial market. It launched its first earphones in 1961 and it recently made available the SEC-S801BT (a heart rate sports earphones with Graphene Diaphragm) for sale starting in the world's largest consumer market, China.

The Pioneer SEC-S801BT is a Bluetooth dual-mode based sports earphones that tracks the user's heart rate while simultaneously playing music. Graphene diaphragm is a more superior material for earphones speaker than traditional diaphragm because its strength to weight ratio is higher, it has more accurate sound reproduction and it can deliver clarity in the mid to high frequency range.

Using graphene diaphragm, the Pioneer earphones provide a wider range of frequency response, resulting in an acoustically solid listening experience for the users that achieves a deep bass while still having best-in-class middle and high frequencies. For the most rugged exercisers, the SEC-S801BT is covered with an IPX5 protection of water resistance and sweat proof, all for up to 8 hours per charge, with heart rate sensing feature turned on.

Besides being compatible to other 3rd party apps that supports Bluetooth Low Energy Standard Heart Rate Profile such as Nike+ Run Club, Codoon App and Joyrun app, the Pioneer SEC-S801BT comes with its own Pioneer Sport apps that has similar functions of other 3rd party sports apps but with one additional super feature, which is to detect the user's VO2max that will allow the user to know his/her fitness level. VO2max is the measurement of the maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can utilize during intense, or maximal exercise.

"Pioneer is an excellent earphones brand well known for its audio reputation," says Will Lu, General Manager and Vice President of Zylux Acoustic Corporation, which manufactured these Pioneer earphones. "With the sports earphones segment being a key growth driver of the overall earphones market, we are glad to help Pioneer realize the market need by combining excellent audio and very accurate sports heart rate tracking to this growing segment."

"The use of Graphene Diaphragm demonstrates the commitment of Pioneer to provide great quality audio to the sports earphone market," says Kow Ping, CEO of WBD101. "Our heart rate sensing Technology ActivHearts is probably the world's smallest heart rate sensing design that complements well with the use of Graphene diaphragm to enable a very compact design compared to traditional moving coils."
