With the continuous development of Bluetooth technology in recent years, Bluetooth headphones have been loved by more and more users, which allows us to get rid of the shackles of wire and enjoy music more freely. Due to work reasons, most of the time is usually indoors, the lack of outdoor sports, coupled with the recent increase in weight, I want to enhance my physique through outdoor sports, of course, I want better exercise, how can I be less accompanied by music.
However, there are many brands and models of headphones on the market now, what kind of headphones are more suitable for outdoor use? If it is used outdoors, I think it should be safe first, and then consider other aspects such as appearance and sound quality. Among them, the emerging bone conduction Bluetooth headset in recent years is a good choice, through a variety of comparisons, I finally chose this NANK South Carolina Runner Pro3, which uses a new bone conduction black technology, without tucking into the ear to listen to music, while also hearing the surrounding environment sounds, outdoor use is safer.
What exactly are bone conduction headphones? Many users may not understand that the headphones we use daily are sound waves generated through the diaphragm, and then transmitted to the brain after vibrating through the external ear canal and eardrum; and bone conduction headphones are used to convert sound into mechanical vibrations of different frequencies, directly through the facial bones to transmit sound, without passing through the external ear canal and eardrum, relatively speaking, it is more healthy and safe to use.
The agile hippocampus shape combines beauty and comfort
In terms of packaging, South Carolina Runner Pro3 adopts a red packaging box, the front is printed with gold "Wind Boy" words, from the packaging alone to give people a strong sense of movement, of which the packaging box and headphones use the same color design, the back is printed with the actual pictures of the headphones and parameter introduction.
In addition to the South Carolina Runner Pro3 headphones, there is also a charging cable, a pair of silicone earbuds and instructions for use, of which the earbuds are also equipped with a special storage box. In addition, the charging cable sets charging and data functions in one, using a dedicated magnetic interface, pay attention to the use of the storage after good, to avoid loss and cause unable to charge.
At present, although there are many brands of bone conduction Bluetooth headsets on the market, the homogenization phenomenon in terms of design is still relatively serious. Inspired by the hippocampus, the South Carolina Runner Pro3 blends natural aesthetics with technology to enhance the headset's legibility.
The South Carolina Runner Pro3 adopts a one-piece molding design, the entire fuselage is wrapped in silicone material, delicate and comfortable to touch, not only to prevent fingerprints, but also effectively improve the wearing comfort.
The South Carolina Runner Pro3 acts as a bone conduction headphone that transmits sound through vibration and listens to songs without going through the ear canal and eardrum. Among them, the appearance of the ear hanging part is similar to that of the seahorse, and the "head" of the seahorse is the bone conduction speaker, which adopts the principle of bone conduction sound transmission, and can listen to the song without entering the ear, and adopts a fully wrapped fully closed design, which can not only play a certain dustproof and waterproof effect, but also effectively prevent sound leakage; with the new AF full shock directivity oscillator design of South Carolina, it can improve the effective vibration area of the oscillator and optimize the transmission direction of the sound.
The inside of the earphone bone conduction speaker is also covered with a layer of silicone material, which can reduce skin irritation, effectively reduce the occurrence of allergic reactions, and improve wearing comfort.
The back of the headset is made of high-strength memory titanium material, which can be seen to bounce back quickly after bending hard, and can be dynamically adaptively adjusted according to the user's head shape to make the wearing more stable; among them, the rear hanging surface is wrapped in a layer of silicone material, which can make the wearing more comfortable.
The keys of the South Carolina Runner Pro3 are placed in the upper right position and the outside of the left bone conduction speaker, of which the upper right side is the volume - key and volume + key, of which the button adopts a fully enclosed design, which can play a better waterproof effect, click the volume key to adjust the volume, long press the volume key to switch the previous song / the next song, one hand can easily blind exercise.
There is also a bar indicator on the front of the volume key of the headset, which can know the working status of the headset according to the indicator, and the blue light flashes once every 5 seconds when the headset is properly connected and used.
On the outside of the left bone conduction speaker is the power button, long press 5 seconds to achieve power on / power off, power on state click to pause / play, double click for MP3 / Bluetooth toggle, three clicks to wake up the voice assistant, easy to operate.
Below the bone conduction speaker on the right side of the headset is the microphone hole, which can effectively reduce the ambient noise and make the call sound clearer through the AI intelligent pickup algorithm.
On the inside of the headphone volume key is the charging interface, using magnetic design, compared with the traditional charging socket, not only has the advantages of oxidation resistance, easy to clean, but also has a waterproof and dustproof effect, which can effectively improve the service life.
Designed for Asian ears, it's more secure and comfortable to wear
South Card Runner Pro3 is very simple to use, supports MP3 memory mode and Bluetooth mode, and can be quickly switched by double-clicking the switch key in the boot state. Among them, the first use of Bluetooth mode, you need to first pair the operation, long press the power button for 5 seconds, when the indicator light is red and blue flashing, search for the device named "NINEKA-RUNNER PRO3" on the mobile phone, click to automatically pair the connection.
In addition, the headset also supports NFC speed connection, when the NFC-enabled Android phone is in the NFC state, just put the headset close, without opening Bluetooth to automatically pop up pairing.
For headphones, in fact, compared to the appearance and sound quality, I think the firmness and comfort of wearing are more important, after all, if it is uncomfortable to wear, who will care about the sound quality. The South Carolina Runner Pro3 was developed by 97 South Carolina engineers over 197 days and nights for the Asian ear, creating a more flatter silhouette for a more secure and comfortable fit.
Through the actual wearing, even after a strenuous exercise such as shaking the head and running, the headphones are still firmly worn, there is no need to worry about the problem that the headphones will fall unexpectedly, the firmness is completely fine; and in the outdoor experience through various sports, after a long time of wearing, the ears do not appear pressure and swelling pain, and the comfort is also very good.
Overall, the South Carolina Runner Pro3 performs very well in terms of wearing comfort and firmness, compared to headphones designed in-ear or semi-in-ear, it has obvious advantages in terms of wearing comfort and firmness, whether it is indoor fitness or outdoor sports and other scenes can be easily coped with.
Compared with the traditional in-ear headphones, bone conduction headphones can be used outdoors, and the surrounding environmental sounds can be heard while listening to music, which will be safer when exercising; coupled with the fact that the sound is transmitted without going through the ear canal and eardrum, it can keep the ear canal fresh and breathable, reduce the breeding of bacteria, and make listening to songs healthier and more hygienic.
Not only that, the South Carolina Runner Pro3 also supports 8+ professional waterproofing, you can see that whether it is rinsed with water, or directly thrown into the water, even if you wear a bath directly, it is completely fine; even if you soak in a 20-meter water depth environment for 60 minutes, the headphones will not enter the water, and you can still maintain normal use.
Ten years of bone conduction acoustic accumulation, even if it does not enter the ear can also have good sound quality
Due to the bone conduction sound transmission principle, the South Carolina Runner Pro3 can listen to songs without plugging into the ears, and most users will have some concerns about its sound quality performance. After ten years of bone conduction acoustic precipitation accumulation in the South Carolina Bone Conduction Acoustics Laboratory, The South Carolina Runner Pro3 has a good sound quality even if it does not enter the ear through bone conduction sound quality optimization schemes such as OT closure anti-leakage technology 3.0 and AF full vibration directivity oscillator.
Through the actual audition experience, the sound quality is clear and transparent, the sense of space and rhythm are also good, and with the increase of volume, it can also bring a certain stereo surround sound, of course, there is still a certain gap with the sound quality of in-ear headphones. However, while listening to songs, you can indeed clearly hear the sounds of the surrounding environment, and it is safer to use them when exercising outdoors. As for the vibration, if the volume is below 80% and there is almost no vibration, the sound quality performance after more than 90% is better, and the lack of vibration is more obvious.
If you have higher requirements for the sound quality of the headphones, you can use it with noise-cancelling earbuds. After wearing earbuds, the volume of the headphones increases significantly, and it can also bring a better stereoscopic feeling, and the sound quality performance at this time can already be comparable to the in-ear headphones, but the external environment sound cannot be heard, which is more suitable for use in the indoor environment.
Since bone conduction headphones are transmitted by vibration, many people may be concerned about whether bone conduction headphones have foreign sounds? South Carolina Runner Pro3 adopts South Carolina OT closed anti-leakage technology 3.0 technology, which can not only reduce the vibration of the shell, can reduce the leakage phenomenon by 90%, but also built-in inverted sound wave system, through intelligent output and leakage sound wave opposite the reverse sound wave, the sound leakage sound wave cancels each other out, below 60% of the headphone volume, unless the distance is very close, almost can not hear the sound in the headphones, can effectively protect user privacy, avoid embarrassing situations.
South Card Runner Pro3 adopts Bluetooth 5.2 chip, which can make the connection more stable, the transmission rate faster, the transmission power consumption lower, and can effectively reduce the Bluetooth drop rate and reduce the sound delay. What is the delay effect of the headset? Through the actual test of the chicken eating game, the delay is almost not felt during the entire game, in which the sound of gunshots, footsteps, and cars is clearly expressed, which can meet the game needs of most users.
For people who like sports, of course, the less weight the better when exercising, but many Bluetooth headphones need to be used with mobile phones, and The South Carolina Runner Pro3 has a built-in 16GB large memory, which can store more than 3,000 songs, support MP3, WAV, WMA, APE and other music formats, just download the songs in advance into the headphones, and listen to music without a mobile phone when exercising.
In terms of battery life, the South Carolina Runner Pro3 has a built-in 180mAh capacity battery, with a Bluetooth 5.2 low-power chip, which can continuously listen to songs for about 10 hours to meet the needs of users for a long time; and when the headset is low, there will be voice prompts, and the indicator light during charging is red and solid, and the blue is always bright after full.
A bluetooth headset for outdoor sports safety and healthier
In general, the South Carolina Runner Pro3 bone conduction Bluetooth headset compared with the previous generation of products in terms of design, sound quality performance and hardware configuration has been upgraded again, using a new flexible hippocampus shape, the natural aesthetics and modern technology are integrated, which can bring a solid and comfortable wearing experience; and the use of OT closed anti-leakage technology 3.0 and AF full-shock directivity oscillator and other sound quality optimization programs, can bring a more spatial, rhythmic music experience; plus 8+ professional waterproof, It can easily cope with more complex outdoor sports scenes. If you usually use it mainly in indoor scenes, I do not recommend that you choose bone conduction headphones; and if you are mainly used in outdoor sports, you want a headset that is more suitable for sports, I believe that The South Carolina Runner Pro3 can meet your various sports needs, compared to other Bluetooth headsets. As for the shortcomings, the sound quality performance and sound leakage of the headphones need to be optimized and upgraded, which is more suitable for outdoor environment use.
