Sony has been checking all the boxes to turn over a new leaf and bring the best out of it by inscribing the wording that would not run in a river like a clock of sand. Sony is turning the tables to take its chance to reveal its latest truly wireless earbuds in India, with a teaser strongly confirming that the forthcoming earable would be the Sony Float Run—a model specifically tailored for athletes. The leading tech giant from Japan, Sony, shared a brief video trailer on X (formerly Twitter), offering a sneak peek into the upcoming earbuds.
While the teaser didn’t elucidate the name Float Run, the design of the earbuds featured in the video embarks on the journey with that of the Float Run, initially introduced by the brand in January 2023. Interestingly, this Indian release comes approximately a year after the earbuds were first announced. Tags like “Move Without Limits” in the tweet hint at the sporty nature of these earbuds, emphasizing their appeal to active users.
The Float Run vaunts a peculiar design where the earbuds rest outside the ear canal, harbored by an ear hook and a flexible band. This off-ear design was engineered to provide optimal comfort to athletes during workouts. However, it’s worth noting that this unique design comes with its limitations, notably the absence of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).
Talking about audio capabilities, the Sony Float Run earbuds house sizable 16mm audio drivers, vowing to bring the flavor of a natural and expansive sound experience. Weighing a mere 33 grams, they are crafted to minimize pressure during workout sessions. Notable features include IPX4 water resistance, support for SBC/AAC audio codecs, Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, a 10-hour battery life, and a USB Type-C port for charging. The initial price tag for these earbuds was $129.99 in the United States, indicating a likely similar price range for the Indian launch.
To add it up, Sony’s Float Run aims to deliver an unrivaled audio experience for fitness enthusiasts, with a design focused on comfort and practicality during physical activities. The absence of ANC is a trade-off for the unique off-ear configuration, catering specifically to those who prioritize comfort and freedom of movement in their workouts.
