Suunto’s Bone Conduction Headphones Are Designed for Athletes on the Go
Finnish audio company Suunto released its open-ear Suunto Wing headphones – ideal for athletes and anyone who is always on the move.
The headphones tap into bone conduction technology, meaning the headphones send audio waves through a user’s skull as opposed to their eardrums. This allows the user to hear what’s going on around them as well as the audio from the headphones.
Crafted from titanium and silicone, Suunto Wing headphones land in red and black colorways and are available to purchase for $199 USD on the brand’s website now.
House of Marley Launches Special-Edition ‘BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE’ Turntable
To commemorate Bob Marley’s forthcoming biopic BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE, audio company House of Marley whipped up a special-edition Stir It Up Wireless turntable.
With 250 units expected to be released, the turntables are carefully constructed from bamboo plinth, and each is numbered.
“The Limited Edition turntable echoes Bob’s principles, creating a haven for fans to immerse themselves in an album from start to finish,” Ziggy Marley noted in a statement. “It becomes a tangible extension of Bob Marley’s journey, seamlessly complementing the cinematic exploration. Once you listen to vinyl, the quality and warmth you feel is a totally different experience.”
The BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Stir It Up Wireless turntable is slated to release on February 14 for $250 USD.
