Sony recently unveiled its latest headphones for athletes and athletes . These are off-ear headphones that do not have to be inserted into the ear and are therefore particularly stable on the head and should therefore not fall out even during the hardest workout .
The sports headphones par excellence
With the new Float Run off-ear headphones, electronics manufacturer Sony is probably trying to do the sporty among us a favor. Who doesn’t know it: As soon as you move a little faster during sports , the in-ear headphones loosen and then fall out. If you use some with a cable , you’ll always get stuck somewhere.
The Float Run are designed to prevent just that . They have neither a cable nor do you have to put them in your ear. They are attached to the ears with a clip that goes from one ear to the other over the back of the head . This can be seen very clearly in the introductory video:
The headphones are equipped with 16 mm drivers and promise a wide and natural sound , due to the fact that they are not in the ear , but only in front of them . In addition, they should largely suppress the echo produced by the body during sport.
