Sony revealed a new line of headphones made with runners in mind. The innovative Float Run off-ear headphones from Sony place the speaker close to the ear canal without actually touching it, leaving the ear canal uninjured while yet producing excellent audio.
The Float Run headphones concentrate on the correct running form for a stable and pleasant experience without compromising sound quality. For runners or other sports, Float Run provides useful features including a lightweight design with a flexible neckband that doesn’t slip when in motion and a pressure-free design that rests off the ears, so they no longer have to worry about sweat or chafing interfering with their training. The crowdfunding community responded favourably to this project, which prompted its formal launch.
Designed for comfort
Runners won’t have to worry about pressure or stuffiness in their ears thanks to its off-ear design. The Float Run headphones lay on the wearer’s ears for extended comfort, allowing them to enjoy comfort for longer periods of time without interruption. Furthermore, the Float Run headphones weigh just about 33 g, allowing runners to focus on their surroundings.
Stable and secure fit
The Float Run headphones are designed to stay in place no matter how the runner moves. The headphones, which have been tested on a variety of head shapes and hairstyles, will stay with the runner thanks to the flexible neckband design. Float Run headphones were also tested with accessories like hats and sunglasses. Whatever they wear, the neckband will keep them secure.
Unique sound
The 16mm drivers and precise tuning, together with the off-ear style, provide a more natural and broader sound, ensuring that sound quality is not compromised. The Float Run headphones have an open-type design that prevents echo of your body’s sounds, such as footsteps, chewing, or heavy breathing while allowing in ambient sound.
Ambient sound
The Float Run headphones are meant to fill, but not cover, the user’s ears, allowing them to be aware of their surroundings. The Float Run design allows music to blend seamlessly with ambient noise and be shaped by the user’s ear shape. Float Run off-ear headphones keep ears unobstructed, allowing them to perform at their best in whatever activity they are engaged in.
Functional and user friendly
Users don’t have to worry about damage from sweat or being caught out in the rain with an IPX4 water-resistant rating. The Float Run headphones will fuel lengthy runs thanks to their extended battery life and up to 10 hours of playback when completely charged. Even a 10-minute charge will provide an hour of playtime.
Users can control playback and use their smartphone’s voice assistant without needing to take it out of their pocket or bag thanks to a range of built-in controls. When their run is over and it’s time to get back to work, the Float Run headphones contain a high-quality built-in microphone that makes them equally suitable for productivity tasks. Float Run headphones can be charged through USB-C. The headphones also come with a carrying pouch to keep the charging wire and headphones together and safe.
Availability
The Sony Float Run headphones will be available in Malaysia from May 2023.
