Earbuds to help you sleep with snoring? 5 amazing gadgets from the Wearable Technology Show


The Wearable Technology Show isn't a big hitting behemoth tech conference like CES or MWC, but we've trawled the floor at the London event to find the weirdest and most innovative tech.

No major tech announcements were made at the show, but it's packed full of strange gadgets mostly focused on health and fitness industries, but there's also a smattering of VR and AR too.
