The $199 Suunto Wing and the $149 Suunto Sonic are the company’s foray into bone conduction headphones.

As a city runner, I never thought too hard about wearing noise-canceling earbuds. I’d dabbled with open-ear buds in the past but mostly ran in well-lit parks where my biggest danger was dodging goose poop. It’s different in the suburbs. Recently, I was nearly pancaked by a Range Rover going at least 10 over the speed limit. I never heard it coming, even though my headphones were in ambient mode. Which is why I’ve spent the last two months testing the $199 Suunto Wing and $149 Suunto Sonic.

The rumbly intro on Stray Kids’ “Megaverse” didn’t sound nearly as cool as it would’ve on my Beats Fit Pro, but it was good enough to keep me pumped. After a few weeks, I stopped noticing the difference. But while the audio was better than I expected, these are still bone conduction headphones, which means they’re not great in loud environments.
