A long drive can be annoying, especially when you have teenagers on board who are bored. Fortunately, the New Year also brings new trends for listening to music in the car. But not only the passengers like to listen to music, also many who spend a lot of time in their car, professionally or privately, often like to listen to music, they are also interested in the new trends.
It can be streamed
Gone are the days when there were physical disks in the car to listen to music. There is hardly anyone left who listens to CDs or tapes while driving. Anyone who owns a smartphone streams their favorite music and this trend is unlikely to change in the future. The slot for the CDs will probably disappear completely in the new car. With a large volume of data and thanks to LTE mobile communications, streaming services such as Deezer, Spotify or Apple Music have established themselves. 5G will reinforce the trend and deliver even better quality through a larger bandwidth.
Wearables - the megatrend
Wireless headphones - they're the biggest digital trend in car listening to music. The second generation of the Apple AirPods 2019 made this trend known to a broad mass and there are now a number of providers who have joined this trend. Suppliers such as Harman are working on new solutions for integrating headphones even better into the car. The company wants to soon present a new concept that turns the car into a virtual concert stage. Both listeners and musicians can interact.
New options for retrofitting
The modern radio is being integrated more and more firmly into the car thanks to new entertainment systems, and the traditional space for the car radio will soon be gone. In the near future it will be possible to retrofit the car according to your preferences, wishes and ideas when it comes to listening to music.
