Suunto just announced the launch of the Suunto Spark, their very first air-conduction, open-ear headphones. If you’re a runner or a city commuter who hates feeling disconnected from your surroundings, these are designed specifically for you. By using open-ear technology, the Spark allows you to enjoy high-quality audio while staying fully aware of traffic and environmental cues.
New Headphones, New Tech for Suunto
For the brand, this marks a significant expansion into high-tech audio gear that prioritizes safety without sacrificing immersive sound. The hardware is impressively sleek and lightweight, with each earbud weighing less than 9 grams. They feature a flexible memory-titanium loop and skin-friendly silicone to ensure a secure, pressure-free fit during long workouts.
Tech enthusiasts will appreciate the Hi-Res LHDC 5.0 audio and head-tracking spatial audio, which creates a 3D listening experience that moves with you. Beyond music, these act as a “training companion” by monitoring your running cadence and mechanics. They even track neck health, sending alerts if you’re slouching or overstraining your posture.
The Spark is built for the long haul with IP55 sweat and dust resistance, making them durable enough for tough outdoor conditions. You can expect 7 hours of battery life on a single charge, which extends to a total of 36 hours with the included charging case. With Bluetooth 5.4 and dual-device connection, switching between your phone and laptop is seamless.
Available April 8th
Ready to upgrade your workout gear? The Suunto Spark officially launches on April 8th, 2026. They will be available in three colors: black, white, and coral orange. The new headphones are retailing for $179 through Suunto.com and select retailers worldwide.
