Turn on your SonaTech headphones, connect them to your phone through Bluetooth, place them comfortably around your ears, and start playing your music, podcasts or calls.
SonaTech uses an open-ear speaker design that directs sound toward your ears while keeping the ear canal open, so you can enjoy your audio while staying more aware of what’s happening around you.
If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, you have 60 days to return it for a full refund. Simply contact our customer service team to initiate the return process. We aim to make your return process as smooth & hassle-free as possible.
Traditional earbuds can leave you disconnected from what’s happening around you.
SonaTech keeps your ears open while you listen, so you can enjoy your music and stay more aware of the people, movement and moments around you.
Open-ear audio
Sona Open-ear headphones let you enjoy every beat while staying aware of traffic, people and everything happening around you.
Why open-ear
Earbuds seal your ears — you miss traffic, teammates and the doorbell.
In-ear tips press and ache on longer listens.
Tips work loose halfway through a run or ride.
Sealed canals trap heat, sweat and wax.
How it works
01
Rests on your cheekbone, just ahead of the ear — nothing goes inside the canal.
02
Audio travels through gentle vibration, so your ears stay open to the world around you.
03
A light wraparound band holds steady through runs, rides and calls while you still hear your surroundings.

Questions
They rest on your cheekbone, just in front of your ear, and send sound through gentle bone-conduction vibration — so you hear your audio clearly while your ear canal stays completely open. Nothing goes inside your ears.
Yes. The lightweight band wraps behind your head, so they're designed to stay secure through runs, rides and workouts without pressing into your ears. The water resistance rating is IPX8.
That's the whole point of open-ear. Because your ears aren't plugged, you stay aware of traffic, conversations and everything around you while you listen — ideal for running outdoors, cycling or keeping an ear out at home.
At normal listening volumes they're very discreet and the people around you won't really notice. Like any open-ear design, a little sound can escape at high volume, so in a silent room someone right beside you might catch a faint hint — easily fixed by dropping the volume a notch.
Very. Because nothing sits inside your ear canal, there's no pressure, no plugged-up feeling and no soreness after an hour. The band rests behind your head and above your ears, so they sit comfortably alongside glasses and sunglasses.
A full charge gives you around 10 Hours of playback, and they recharge via magnetic cable in about 2 Hours.
