The year is 2025. Cars are driverless. Hoverboards are hobbling on the horizon. And, while time travel a la Marty McFly remains firmly in Doc Brown’s lab, the new Suunto Wing 2 headphones bring a little sci-fi magic to your everyday life. With a simple nod of the head, you can skip tracks, adjust volume, or take calls – literally. No buttons, no fuss, just futuristic convenience that would make even Biff jealous. What a time to be alive!
The star feature is head movement control. Picture yourself sprinting through the park, zooming past slowpokes on your bike, or blasting through a treadmill session. In any instance, Wing 2 responds to your every nod and tilt. It’s the kind of tech that feels like it was plucked straight out of 2015’s Hill Valley. Only this time, it actually works. Forget tapping screens mid-run; the headphones move with you, not against you.
Battery life is just as impressive as the gesture control. With up to 36 hours of playback, these headphones could survive a full-on road trip in the DeLorean – flux capacitor optional. And if you’re short on time, a 10-minute charge gives three hours of listening, enough for a quick skate, sprint, or even a marathon “Power of Love” playlist session. Bluetooth 5.3 keeps the connection fast and stable, whether you’re darting around the city or cruising at 30 km/h.
Wing 2 also makes outdoor calls a breeze. Dual microphones with AI-powered noise cancellation cut through wind and traffic so your voice comes through clear, even if you’re barreling down the street like Marty escaping Libyan terrorists. A metal mesh windscreen ensures high-speed clarity, so no one has to strain to hear you yell over imaginary explosions.
Safety has gone full sci-fi, too. The Wing 2’s smart LED lights feature Turn & Brake and Cadence Sync modes. Nod left or right, and the lights signal your direction – your very own head-mounted flux indicator. Cadence Sync pulses with your steps or pedal strokes, creating a futuristic glow that keeps you visible on late-night runs. It’s like wearing a hoverboard’s safety lights on your ears – stylish, smart, and a little magical.
Comfort is critical for long adventures, and Wing 2 nails it. An open-ear design with optimised weight distribution and refined earhooks keeps the headphones secure without pinching, even during marathon runs or day-long hikes. Your music stays immersive, but your awareness stays sharp – because even in 2025, you don’t want to crash into a lamppost chasing hoverboard dreams.
Sound quality gets a serious upgrade too. Deeper bass, clearer mids, and louder volume deliver immersive tracks without muffling the world around you. And with smart sensors monitoring neck fatigue and mobility, Wing 2 even reminds you to adjust posture, making sure your neck survives all the time-travelling. Or at least your daily commute.
Available in black, coral, or orange, and priced at $AU299, the Suunto Wing 2 Headphones are a futuristic fashion gadget that Marty McFly would approve of: bold, high-tech, and ready for adventure.
So, strap in, nod to the beat, skip that song, answer a call, and let your head do the time-travelling work. Suunto Wing 2 Headphones are not quite a DeLorean, but definitely the next best thing.
