Suunto Sonic Headphones Review: Ear We Go
INTRODUCTION TO THE SUUNTO SONIC HEADPHONES RYAN: I’m a big believer in bone-conduction headphones. I made the switch from traditional earbuds to the Shokz OpenRun Pro a few years ago and haven’t looked back. Like many runners who pick up a pair of open-ear headphones, I […]
NutritionINTRODUCTION TO THE SUUNTO SONIC HEADPHONES
RYAN: I’m a big believer in bone-conduction headphones. I made the switch from traditional earbuds to the Shokz OpenRun Pro a few years ago and haven’t looked back. Like many runners who pick up a pair of open-ear headphones, I did so for safety.
At the time, I was living in a small town and running largely on open farm roads. It sounds like a perfectly safe place to be, with few turns and even fewer chances to accidentally run into someone. However, drivers saw it the same way. Cars would fly past me, going well over the speed limit, and in comfortable, noise canceling earbuds, I wouldn’t always hear them coming. One near miss too many, and I decided it was time to try something different.
Well, now Suunto has decided it’s time for something different, too. The company is primarily known for its line of GPS watches that challenge offerings from both Garmin and Coros, but now it’s trying to encroach on Shokz’s territory. It just launched the Suunto Sonic and Suunto Wing, and I’m here to check out the former.
I’ll save most of my comparisons to the Shokz OpenRun Pro for later in the review, but it’s impossible to ignore the similarities. I guess when a design works, it works. The Suunto Sonic uses a very similar wraparound design to the OpenRun Pro, with two main “earbuds” that loop over the top of your ears. They have a multifunction button on the left and volume controls on the right, with a charging connector tucked right behind.
Oh, and the silicone and titanium alloy headset is one size fits all, so don’t worry about the sizing. I haven’t had any issues with the fit of the Sonic, though the band is a little more generous than that of the OpenRun Pro, so you might have to fiddle with it to get just the right positioning. Suunto’s color options are different, too, with either Black or Lime to choose from.
Anyway, let’s get to some of the more important details.
HOW DO THE SUUNTO SONIC HEADPHONES WORK? HOW DO THEY SOUND?
RYAN: Alright, so the first thing you probably noticed is that the Suunto Sonic aren’t like other headphones. They don’t have soft tips that go into your ear in order to block out external sounds, nor do they have a small charging case that you return them to in between listening sessions. Instead, Suunto’s wraparound Sonic headphones use something called bone-conduction technology to play your music and podcasts while keeping your ears open to the world around you.
If you’re not familiar with how bone conduction works, let’s just say that it’s a little bit different from your traditional earbud. Whereas something like Apple’s AirPods uses air conduction to send sound waves through the air and into your eardrum, the Suunto Sonic (and others) use a wide, flat pad that sits on your cheekbone. Then, the sound waves vibrate directly into the bone they’re in contact with to skip the eardrum entirely and instead flow right into your inner ear.
Fun fact — bone conduction is actually how Beethoven kept composing music after he lost his hearing. He clenched his conducting baton between his teeth and set it to his piano to feel the notes as he played them.
Anyway, your brain still processes the soundwaves the same way through the cochlea, completely ignoring the fact that they never passed through your eardrum and leaving it open to process other sounds.
With our little anatomy lesson out of the way, you’re probably wondering how well the Suunto Sonic headphones actually sound. Well, let’s start with a reminder that the open-ear design doesn’t isolate your eardrum from ambient sounds, so you can’t expect the same audio quality that you might with a pair of noise canceling earbuds. But, again, this is by design so that you can both hear your music and hear the world around you. Safety first.
Anyway, I think the sound quality on the Suunto Sonic is actually pretty good compared to other bone-conduction headphones in its price range. You’ll probably have to fiddle with the pads a little bit to get them properly positioned next to your ear, but once you do, you should have no problems keeping them in place. I typically kept mine at around 50% of my iPhone’s maximum Bluetooth volume and found that I could hear both lyrics and instruments clearly while streaming Spotify.
That said, I’ve found that most bone-conduction headphones fare just a bit better with spoken voices and podcasts than they do with music, at least when listening outdoors. There’s something about the sharpness of the human voice that comes across much cleaner than pianos or guitars.
Oh, and you can also pair the Suunto Sonic to Suunto’s official app, which gives you just a little bit more control over your playback. Specifically, it allows you to pair to two devices at one via Bluetooth Multipoint and switch between Normal and Outdoors sound profiles.
HOW DURABLE ARE THE SUUNTO SONIC HEADPHONES? CAN YOU SWIM WITH THEM?
RYAN: Another very important feature on any pair of headphones that you plan to run or work out in is how durable they are. After all, sweat is pretty gross and tends to gunk up any old pair of headphones (or hats, or running shirts, or, well, anything else) it comes in contact with. You may or may not be familiar with the IP scale for water and dust resistance, but it’s important when it comes to understanding just how tough the Suunto Sonic headphones are.
Put simply, products are given a rating for water and dust resistance on a two-digit scale, with the first representing dust ingress on a scale from 0-6 and the second covering water on a scale from 0-9. Suunto’s Sonic headphones come with an IP55 rating, which means that it’s almost fully sealed from dust and protected from jets of water at a rate of 12.5 liters per minute.
Basically, you can wear the Suunto Sonic headphones to sit on the beach with almost no problem but don’t go diving into the ocean with them.
IS THE BATTERY LIFE GOOD ON THE SUUNTO SONIC HEADPHONES? HOW DO YOU CHARGE THEM?
RYAN: Moving on, Suunto boasts that you can get 10 hours of playback out of the Sonic headphones on a single charge. The claim is right there with what others like Shokz offer on their bone-conduction headphones and, in my experience, is just about right. I tend to use the Sonic for rides to and from the Believe in the Run office and while working out in my apartment’s gym since I’m injured from running at the moment, and I only have to charge about once a week.
Suunto isn’t super clear on the size of the battery inside the Sonic, but I would imagine it’s split between the larger segments behind each ear. Also, the estimated 10 hours of battery life comes from Suunto stress testing the headphones at 60% volume while playing Hotel California on the SBC codec — in case you were curious.
Once you drop the battery to the point of reaching for a charger, you’ll need Suunto’s proprietary magnetic connector close at hand. It sticks to the back of the right earpiece and takes just under an hour to bring the Sonic back to a full charge. If you’re in a bit more of a rush, you can plug the headphones in for 10 minutes to pick up three hours of playback.
Honestly, I don’t mind the charging setup; it’s pretty close to what I’m used to with my Shokz OpenRun Pro. However, Suunto’s magnets don’t seem very strong — a simple bump could easily knock the cable free and leave you with a dead battery instead of a full one. How did I learn this, you may ask? Well, I have two cats who are obsessed with cables… so yeah, be careful where you set your headphones to charge. Also, the charging cable is only about 18 inches long, which is pretty short compared to what most accessories come with.
Further, although Suunto is happy to give you its proprietary USB-A cable in the box, you won’t get a charger with your Suunto Sonic headphones. Instead, you’ll have to dig out one that you already have or do a bit of work to buy another one. Most phones and accessories come with USB-C cables, so it’s a little annoying to need a second charger closeby.
HOW DO THE SUUNTO SONIC HEADPHONES COMPARE TO SHOKZ OPENRUN PRO?
RYAN: Ya know the meme where Pam from The Office holds up two images and explains that corporate needs you to find the difference between them? Well, that’s about what it feels like to compare the Suunto Sonic to the Shokz OpenRun Pro. It’s almost like the two sets of bone-conduction headphones are a little too similar to feel legal, but we’re here to test rather than to litigate.
Anyway, I’m not kidding. The two sets of headphones look almost identical. They each have a multifunction button on the left side, a power button and volume controls on the right, and a magnetic charging point on the back. Both sets of bone conduction pads are just about the same size, too.
However, I can’t help but feel like the OpenRun Pro is the original while the Sonic is the impostor. Shokz’s buttons are larger and easier to find and offer better tactile response, and the two “Bass Enhancer” grills do add just a little more bass feedback to your music. The Shokz OpenRun Pro also comes with a nicer carrying case, which offers more protection for the headphones themselves, as well as a soft pouch for you to store the charging cable in.
Mentioning the charging cable, I think Shokz’s proprietary option stays locked in place a bit better than Suunto’s as well. It sits a little bit deeper in the connecting point, making it slightly harder to knock free. As far as battery life and charging speed go, though, it’s a draw. Suunto claims that 10 minutes of charging gets you three hours of playback, while Shokz boasts that five minutes gets you an hour and a half of music. For those of you who don’t want to do math, those two rates are exactly the same.
Heck, even the sound quality across the two sets of bone-conduction headphones is just about identical. Neither one offers any form of isolation, so you’ll still hear the world around you, but both offer a few different profiles for different listening situations. Shokz allows you to prioritize the human voice for podcasts or set an even profile for music, while Suunto offers the normal and outdoor profiles mentioned earlier.
I think maybe, just maybe, the Suunto Sonic handles instruments a bit better than the OpenRun Pro, which, if true, is a huge win for the new product. That said, I can’t listen to both sets of headphones at the same time, so I might just be talking myself into that point.
FINAL THOUGHTS ON THE SUUNTO SONIC HEADPHONES
RYAN: At the end of the day, Shokz OpenRun Pro clone or not, I really like the Suunto Sonic. It’s not every day that a company that primarily makes GPS watches can roll in and take on a headphone giant, especially one as specialized as Shokz. And yet, the Suunto Sonic put in a pretty good shift.
Do I like them because they’re truly good? Or is it because they’re really close to the Shokz OpenRun Pro? I’m not actually sure, but I also don’t think it matters. If they’re close to the OpenRun Pro and the OpenRun Pro are good, then the Sonic must be good. Oh, and they’re $20 cheaper, which sounds like a win to me.

When it comes to travel, having the right luggage can make a world of difference. One versatile and reliable option to consider is a duffel bag. Duffel bags are known for their spaciousness, durability, and ease of use. However, with so many options available, choosing the right duffel bag for your travel needs can be overwhelming. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the essential factors to consider when selecting the perfect duffel bag for your adventures.
- Size and Capacity:
The first step in choosing a duffel bag is determining the appropriate size and capacity. Consider the length of your trips, the amount of gear and clothing you typically carry, and any specific airline or transportation restrictions. Opt for a duffel bag that offers enough space to accommodate your essentials while still complying with size limitations. - Material and Durability:
Duffel bags are subjected to rough handling and different weather conditions during travel. Therefore, selecting a durable and weather-resistant material is crucial. Common options include nylon, polyester, and canvas. Look for reinforced stitching, sturdy zippers, and abrasion-resistant panels to ensure your bag can withstand the rigors of travel. - Carrying Options:
Evaluate the various carrying options that a duffel bag provides. Most duffel bags come with traditional handles for hand-carrying, but many also feature detachable shoulder straps or backpack straps for added convenience. Consider your preferred carrying style and select a bag that suits your comfort and mobility needs. - Compartments and Organization:
Efficient organization is key to a stress-free travel experience. Look for duffel bags with multiple compartments, pockets, and internal organization features. These can help you keep your belongings tidy and easily accessible throughout your journey. Separate compartments for shoes, dirty laundry, or small accessories can be particularly useful. - Weight and Portability:
Traveling often involves moving from one place to another, so the weight and portability of your duffel bag are important considerations. Opt for lightweight materials that won’t add unnecessary bulk to your load. Additionally, choose a bag that can be compactly folded or collapsed when not in use for easy storage. - Security Features:
Protecting your belongings is crucial, especially when traveling. Look for duffel bags that offer security features such as lockable zippers or built-in TSA-approved locks. These features can provide peace of mind and help safeguard your valuables. - Style and Design:
While functionality is key, there’s no harm in choosing a duffel bag that matches your personal style. Duffel bags come in a variety of colors, patterns, and designs. Select one that reflects your taste and makes you feel confident and excited about your travels. - Brand Reputation and Reviews:
Finally, it’s always a good idea to research the reputation of the brand and read reviews from other travelers. Look for brands known for their quality craftsmanship, excellent customer service, and reliable warranties. Reviews can provide valuable insights into the actual performance and durability of the duffel bag you’re considering.
Choosing the right duffel bag for travel requires thoughtful consideration of factors such as size, durability, carrying options, organization, portability, security features, style, and brand reputation. By assessing your specific travel needs and preferences, you can find a duffel bag that meets all your requirements and enhances your travel experience. Invest in a high-quality duffel bag that will accompany you on countless adventures, keeping your belongings safe and secure while you explore the world. Happy travels!
Helly Hansen Fall 2023 Apparel Review: Diving In
INTRO TO HELLY HANSEN’S FALL 2023 APPAREL COLLECTION SAM: I’ve spent vast swaths of my life, including the past 10 years, working or living in Maryland’s bayside capital, Annapolis. The city is squeezed onto the end of a peninsula between two main tributaries of the Chesapeake […]
NutritionINTRO TO HELLY HANSEN’S FALL 2023 APPAREL COLLECTION
SAM: I’ve spent vast swaths of my life, including the past 10 years, working or living in Maryland’s bayside capital, Annapolis. The city is squeezed onto the end of a peninsula between two main tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay and then run through by several creeks. Downtown is dominated by the historic State Capitol Building and the United States Naval Academy. This all makes Annapolis a boating town, the “Sailing Capital of the World,” if you will. I know the Nordic apparel brand Helly Hansen only through its presence here in Naptown.
To me, it’s a sailing brand, ubiquitous on the brick and cobble streets of a town awash in sailing, history, and the United States Navy, and where they maintain a thriving storefront among the bars and tourist shops. I didn’t know they made running clothes, but I probably should have figured.
MELISSA: I was unfamiliar with Helly Hansen prior to reviewing it. However, I’ve since started seeing HH logos everywhere. I guess it’s always been around, and I’ve yet to notice. Go figure. Helly Hansen is a Norwegian brand that’s been around for a long time and is mostly known for offering a wide selection of ski, sailing, and outdoor apparel. Overall, I am really impressed with the apparel, so much so that I’m surprised I haven’t seen more of it in the trail running community. Let’s get right to it.
ROAM WIND JACKET
MELISSA: It didn’t take long for me to become a huge fan of this jacket. It’s lightweight and breathable yet provides ample protection from the elements. I also happen to love this earthy orange color- it’s perfect for fall running! I can appreciate some of the added details of pockets, elastic wrist cuffs, and fitted hood. Overall, this is a great windbreaker for a great price.
PRICE: $100
LIFA ACTIVE SOLEN LONG SLEEVE T-SHIRT
SAM: My day job is in coffee. There, spent coffee grounds are a bottomless resource mainly destined for the trash, and it’s always nice to see them used in forward-thinking ways. Here, they’re added – HH uses the word “infused” – to the polyester weave as natural UPF 50+ sun protection. This shirt is cut loose through the chest and arms for a soft, relaxed fit that’s great for cruising in the mid-temps. I like that the LIFA Active Solen LS sits easily and doesn’t bind around the neck or under the arms, even when wearing a vest.
PRICE: $80
TECH TRAIL T-SHIRT
SAM: This technical tee has everything I’m looking for — it’s lightweight, fast-drying, comfortable, and flattering. Also, some added perks include UPF50+ material made with recycled coffee grounds — that’s pretty cool!
MELISSA: Made of thinner fabric than the LIFA Active Solen LS, the Tech Trail T-shirt is better suited to hotter days under the sun, especially with the S.Cafe sun protection Melissa mentioned above, and that is also found in the LIFA Active Solen LS. A perforated breathable panel that spans the shoulders helps to prevent overheating, which is one of my personal pet peeves in tech shirts. This shirt is also cut loosely and a little long for coverage and comfort.
PRICE: $60
TECH TRAIL SHORTS
SAM: These unlined shorts are built from an airy 4-way stretch poly/spandex blend that feels ultra-light and comfy with plenty of room for motion. They have two unzippered hand pockets and a single zippered rear pocket in wallet position, not center mounted. None of these pockets are very useful for running, but these are great shorts for someone who wants the extended coverage of a longer inseam for hiking or walking with the light weight of a running short.
PRICE: $85
BLAZE TRAIL LEGGINGS
MELISSA: I was able to try these leggings for a few runs, and they proved to be a great fall/winter running option. They’re breathable, comfortable, and very flattering — so much so that I’ve received several compliments and inquiries about them. It appears that other Helly Hansen tight offerings include a built-in pocket in the waistband. If that’s the case, then they’ve traded the waistband pocket for zippered pockets along the thigh that are only large enough for a gel or car key. I wish that this would include waistband storage — it would be perfect for holding a phone and an extra gel or two.
PRICE: $75
