The Sonic’s design is a basic neckband, which is nice and light at just over 1 ounce. They are ideal for running for a few hours without suffering from wear fatigue. Built-in physical controls make it easy to adjust the volume or pause a call from your phone. Talking about calls, the Suunto includes two microphones, which include an algorithm that is designed to cancel out wind of up to 15 kilometers per hour. It’s surprisingly effective how well this feature works to make handling calls worthwhile in more challenging environments.
The bone conduction sound can be changed using one of two sound modes available in the Suunto app. Normal mode delivers a pleasant, balanced profile, with enough bass department and detail levels to make it suitable for listening to podcasts rather than marathon training playlists. Switch it to Outdoor mode, and you’ll enjoy more volume, primarily to combat excess noise in your environment. It doesn’t include some of the fun features of Suunto’s premium headphones, like security LEDs and a charger that also works as a power bank, but Sonic instead focuses on the factors that make it a solid but affordable buy.
