The Sony Float Run Headphones Work Seamlessly for Outdoor Athletes

— January 7, 2024 — Tech
The Sony Float Run headphones are a pair of active audio equipment perfect for avid joggers and runners alike to use as a way to enjoy their favorite music or content when training.

The off-ear headphones take a different approach to earphone design by sitting just above the ear opening where they'll use their drivers to pump audio towards the listener. This will enable the user to keep a situational awareness without having to opt for different kinds of modes or features. The headphones are rated to provide up to 10-hours of use per charge to make them great for multi-day use, depending on training schedules.

The Sony Float Run headphones have an IPX4 Splash Protection and weigh in at just 33-grams for a lightweight profile.
