Tired of looking for the perfect pair of workout headphones? Sonic Walk has introduced a line of wearable mini speakers that let you rock out to your tunes without being tied down by wires or uncomfortable earbuds.
The entry-level 300 Series (Lightning; pictured) weighs 8.5 ounces and is designed for walkers, cyclists, and joggers. The strap fits snugly around your shoulders and features built-in speakers that can pump out your tunes, but also keep you aware of your surroundings (unlike most earbuds which drown out ambient noise). They even feaure a built-in LED band that lights up with the push of a button for night jogging. Volume controls are located on the strap itself as is a rechargeable 10-hour battery and pocket for your smartphone/MP3 player.
The 600 Series (Sierra) is a Velcro band meant to be worn on top of your backpack strap. It features water-proof speakers and the same 1o-hour battery found in the 300 Series. Other models like the 800 Series Blackhawk (which is worn like a backpack) and the 900 Series Igniter (which is worn like a vest) feature separate volume controls and additional pouches for storing person items.
The Sonic Walk Speakers are available now starting at $90.
