Owners of wearable devices such as smartwatches and fitness trackers are far more likely to subscribe to paid streaming audio or music services such as Apple Music, Spotify or Pandora One, according to a report from Parks Associates.

Among all US broadband households, 33 percent have a paid streaming music subscription, up from 26 percent in mid-2015.
