Know before you buy
The Float Run headphones feature a flexible, stable neckband design that secures the unit behind your head. Because they don't rely on ear tips or ear hooks, they remain stable even during high-intensity movement.
Yes, they are rated IPX4 splash-resistant. This means they can handle sweat and light rain, but they should not be submerged in water or worn during heavy downpours.
The open-ear design allows ambient sound to reach your ears, which is safer for outdoor running. While you won't get the same noise isolation as traditional earbuds, the drivers are positioned to deliver clear, balanced audio directly toward your ear canal.
Yes, the off-ear design is specifically engineered to avoid pressure points. Because nothing sits inside or directly against your ear canal, they are generally very compatible with both glasses and hats.
Yes, they include a built-in microphone, allowing you to take hands-free calls while on the move without needing to remove the headset.
