Hands-On with the Synapptic Accessible Smartwatch & Custom Fit, Studio Sound: The Breggz Earbuds Reviewed
About this episode
Is Android finally accessible for blind users? We explore the new Synapptic SmartWatch Plus—an accessible Android-powered wearable—and test high-end custom earbuds from Breggz that promise audiophile-grade sound.
In this episode of Double Tap, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece explore two very different products with accessibility in mind. First, Steven offers a detailed hands-on review of the Synapptic SmartWatch Plus, a fully accessible Android smartwatch designed for blind and low-vision users. Unlike many Android wearables, this one impresses with fast performance, simple navigation, and full voice output—plus it works without a smartphone.
Then, Steven interviews Sander and Anouk from Breggz, creators of premium wireless earbuds built with balanced armature drivers for unmatched audio clarity. They discuss the engineering behind the custom-molded fit, plans for AI-driven voice control, and how the product appeals to audiophiles and users with mild hearing loss. The conversation also touches on accessibility challenges in apps and the future of latency-free Bluetooth sound for blind users.
