Wearable Tech: The Sonic Walk

If you get your excercise from running, chances are you easily get bored with the sound of your own hard-working body and thus prefer to run with a mp3-player, containing your favourite running playlist.
You have undoubtedly experinced wires getting in the way and earphones popping out of your ears, disrupting your concentration on what you are doing right now. And do not get me started on how earphones lowers your awareness on your surroundings! Sheesh.

If you can relate to the text above, then maybe the Sonic Walk is the right choice for you!
The Sonic Walk is part earphones, part backpack and part boombox. It's basically a soundsystem you wear over your shoulders.
What's so great about it then? First off, it's put on like a backpack. It fits ergonomically into the human body and it doesn't fall of like earphones. Secondly, the sound blends with the surrounding environment, which is definitely a better alternative to the deafining earphones.

This invention isn't new in thought, but is considered better than predecessors of its like. The Sonic Walk is ergonomic and comes in various models, built for different types of excercise and one model allows you to hear music while riding a motorbike at 60 mph. Prices start at $90.
