As a runner, headphones are a must-have for me for my daily runs, and you know that running and music are a match made in heaven, they can bring out the hidden energy in your body and make you no longer lonely on the long track?
Imagine the first rays of the morning sun shining on the runway, you put on your headphones, and your steps light up to the dynamic beat. Music is like your personal trainer, motivating you and making your running journey more fun and energizing.
What kind of sports headphones are best for running? Based on my experience with Bluetooth headsets, the following aspects are the most important:
Wearing comfort
The light weight, the shape of the ear, and the softness of the material all contribute to the comfort of the headphones. The ideal sports headphones should be as light as nothing, and will not cause pressure or discomfort when worn for a long time, and will not hit the head when worn for a long time.
Waterproof and sweat resistant
Sweat and rain during exercise are the enemies of headphones. A headset with a high water and sweat resistance rating that can withstand harsh environments and ensure that the headset can work reliably in all sports conditions. Running is a very sweaty sport, and sports headphones with poor sweat resistance are easy to break.
Endurance
Excellent battery life means you can enjoy your music for longer without interruption. There is no need to charge frequently, so that your running is not limited by power and more freedom. A run can be as short as 30 minutes, as long as 5 to 6 hours, if it is a cross-country race, it takes more than 10 hours, and it is not required to support a cross-country race, at least it must be able to withstand a full marathon time.
And, of course, most importantly, security. When running, if you wear in-ear and headphones, your perception of the outside world will be weakened, especially when running on the road, and if you are not careful, you will have close contact with vehicles or pedestrians, which is too dangerous. A good sports headset should not only provide an immersive listening experience, but also allow us to clearly perceive the sound of the outside world to avoid potential dangers.
With its unique design, air conduction headphones allow us to enjoy music while still being able to hear the sound of our surroundings. This open-air listening experience not only keeps us safe, but also allows us to better stay connected to the world around us. Whether we're running on a busy street or in a quiet park, air-conduction headphones keep us alert and enjoy our activities while being aware of our surroundings.
I have been using Nanka's bone conduction headphones, and I have never used their air conduction headphones, and recently I saw that Nanka launched the NANK OE mix air conduction headphones, so I quickly got a pair to try.
I chose a black color, a white box with a charging cable, product manual, and a black charging box with headphones.
The charging case is made with a delicate matte process, which gives it a premium touch and elegant appearance. This treatment not only enhances the overall texture of the product, but also shows a low-key luxury, and the charging port is a Type-C port, which is very convenient.
When I opened the charging case and held the earbuds in my hand, I was captured by the South Carolina OE MIX, its appearance and design blend modern aesthetics and trendy elements, smooth silhouette and delicate surface treatment, giving it a look that is both sophisticated and luxurious. Every detail of the headphones has been carefully sculpted, with rounded edges without any sharpness and gentle to the touch.
The earbuds are made of skin-friendly silicone, which not only brings a comfortable wearing experience, but also adds a soft touch to make the overall texture more delicate. The earhook is designed with ergonomics in mind, not only ensuring stability when wearing, but also giving the earbuds a light and flowing look.
The first time I wore the South Carolina OE MIX, I almost forgot that it existed, and by the way, I almost forgot, it weighs only 6.7 grams, which is very lightweight. EAA hovering comfort technology is another innovation of South Carolina OE MIX, which is based on the analysis of more than 100,000 Chinese ear canal data, and accurately adapts to bring unprecedented comfort experience to Chinese people. Music lovers don't have to worry about pressure when wearing them for long periods of time, and these headphones offer stress-free comfort thanks to their compact size and soft silicone material.
The 56:44 front and rear lightweight design makes the earbuds fit more firmly in the ear canal, and it is almost imperceptible when worn. The lightweight design of the single earbud, combined with the hovering earhooks and skin-friendly silicone, provides an airy wearing experience that makes it easy for your ears to wear all day. For the glasses party, its space compatibility is a big boon, whether it is listening to songs or daily use, you can enjoy a perfect experience.
The sound quality of Nanka headphones has always been very good, mainly thanks to Nanka's 13 years of tireless pursuit of acoustic essence, with a number of channel technologies and AI intelligent assistance, it has reached a sound quality restoration rate of 98.6%, close to the pure experience of the original sound. The Super Sound OS acoustic system is also used to ensure high-fidelity transmission of sound quality through audio gain, band compensation and dynamic sound spectrum adjustment.
At the same time, the self-developed Super Bass 3.0 runway sound driver, which surpasses the size of traditional headphones, is equipped with LCP cast titanium polymer material and 0.0096mm ultra-thin diaphragm, so that the sound quality is layered and the bass is deep and powerful. When her daughter listened to music with it, she felt as if she had been brought into a concert, and she was fascinated by the stereo surround sound effects and praised them.
The IPX5 waterproof rating is enough to cope with sweat and rain during daily exercise. It has a battery life of about 8 hours for a single use, and up to 24 hours with the charging case, which meets the needs of long-term exercise. The Bluetooth 5.4 version provides a stable connection and low audio latency, guaranteeing a smooth experience both for running and daily use.
Nanka OE Mix headphones are suitable for running and other outdoor sports, as well as for daily use. For sports enthusiasts who are looking for sound quality and stability, this headset is a great choice.
