Know before you buy
The Float Run headphones feature an ergonomic off-ear design that wraps securely around the back of your head. This stable fit is specifically engineered to remain in place during running and high-intensity movements without needing to be inserted into your ear canal.
Yes, the off-ear design is specifically shaped to avoid interference with eyewear and headwear. You can comfortably wear your favorite sunglasses or a running cap alongside the headphones without compromising the fit.
They are rated IPX4, which means they are sweat-resistant and can handle light rain or splashes. However, they are not designed to be submerged in water or used for swimming.
Because these are bone conduction headphones that sit outside your ear canal, your ears remain completely open. This allows you to hear ambient sounds like traffic, conversations, or nature clearly while your audio plays.
The headphones provide up to 10 hours of continuous playback on a full charge. If you are in a hurry, the quick-charge feature gives you one hour of listening time from just a 10-minute charge via the included USB-C cable.
No, these headphones do not feature noise canceling. They are designed for situational awareness, meaning they prioritize letting outside sound in rather than blocking it out.
