For extended comfort, the Float Run headphones sit on the ears of the wearer and weigh only 33 grams. The design is also advantageous and safe for cyclists who ride on busy roads prone to accidents because the device does not completely block the ears.

Designed to be stable and secure, Float Run headphones stay in place no matter how fast the cyclist pedals or the runner moves. Tested on a wide range of head shapes and hairstyles, the headphones will stay with the wearer, due to the flexible neckband design. Additionally, Float Run headphones were tested with accessories including hats and sunglasses. Whatever is worn, the stabilizing neckband will keep them secure.

The Float Run headphones are designed to fill the user’s ears, but not cover them, so they can still be aware of their surroundings. The Float Run design allows music to naturally mix with ambient sound.
