Sony Float Run India launch teased

In a recent tweet, the Japanese tech giant shared a short video trailer that teased an upcoming earbuds. While the post on X (formerly Twitter) did not specifically mention the Float Run, the earbuds seen in the video teaser have a design that appears to be the Float Run. For those unaware, the brand unveiled the Float Run back in January 2023. Now, it appears that the Indian release is arriving a year after its first announcement. The tags on the tweet like “Move Without Limits” are also in line with the sporty earbuds’ key selling point.

To recall, the Float Run featured a unique design that had the earbuds sit outside the ear canal. These were held in place thanks to an ear hook along with a flexible band. Thanks to this off-ear design, Sony aimed to deliver the most comfortable experience to athletes during exercise. Unfortunately, this unique design has its own drawbacks with the most noticeable one being the lack of ANC (Active Noise Cancellation).

The Sony Float Run earbuds houses large 16mm audio drivers that promise to offer natural and wider sound. These weigh just 33 grams and are built to reduce any pressure during a workout session. Other notable features include IPX4 water resistance, SBC/AAC audio codes, Bluetooth 5.0, 10 hour battery life, and a USB Type C port for charging. The earbuds were announced for a price tag of 129.99 US Dollars, so we can expect a similar price range for the Indian launch.
