Huami- a Chinese biometric and activity driven company has reportedly partnered with a fitness startup Studio, with an aim to develop a connected treadmill which was recently launched as a part of Huami’s keynote at CES.

Amazfit HomeStudio is equipped with JBL surround sound speakers. It portrays superior transient response, low distortion and restores the rising sound effects. Furthermore, it also carries a built-in microphone array.

Huami claims to have shipped over 18.1 million wearable devices in the year 2017 and went public on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in 2018. Studio has digitally created over 1,000 online fitness classes focusing on treadmill running.

Apparently, the Amazfit HomeStudio combines Huami’s hardware expertise with the digital content from Studio. Moreover, the equipment integrates Huami devices and other fitness wearables to track heart rate. Along with providing help with running on the treadmill, the glass also renders classes in yoga, sculpt and stretching.
