About Sony Float Run

The Sony Float Run (WI-OE610) is a specialized piece of audio gear designed specifically for runners and outdoor athletes who prioritize safety and long-term comfort over traditional noise isolation. Eschewing the standard in-ear or bone-conduction methods, these "off-ear" headphones feature a unique design where the speakers literally float just outside the ear canal.The "Off-Ear" AdvantageThe primary appeal of the Float Run is its pressure-free design. Because no part of the device enters the ear canal, users avoid the "stuffiness" and sweat buildup common with earbuds. This open-type structure provides a massive soundstage and allows for total situational awareness, letting you hear oncoming traffic, cyclists, or ambient nature while your music plays.FeatureSpecificationDriver Size16mm Dynamic DriversWeightFeatherlight 33gDurabilityIPX4 Water/Sweat ResistantBattery Life10 Hours (Full charge in 3 hours)Quick Charge10 mins = 60 mins of playbackPerformance and ErgonomicsPowered by oversized 16mm drivers, the Float Run delivers a natural, airy sound.
