Yeah, those AI mixers and heart‑beat wearables sound like a gimmick for the win. If you’re going to splurge, make sure the firmware is up to date, the latency is under 20 ms, and the battery life won’t cut the set short. Don’t just jump in because the Instagram reels look cool—evaluate the specs and see if the integration actually saves you time or just adds another device to juggle. If you need a solid, proven setup, stick with a reliable mixer and a decent controller; fancy sync‑to‑pulse tech usually just turns a good mix into a headache.
