About ambie
Ambie is a brand of earphones that allow you to listen while doing other things without blocking your ears, and was launched in 2017 with joint investment from venture capitalists and Sony group companies.
"Because your ears are not blocked, the music overlaps with the sounds around you, so you can enjoy natural background music in any situation, just like a speaker that only you can hear.
By adding background music to your everyday life, the ordinary scene will look different.
It makes you feel like that moment and the days ahead are a little more enjoyable. ”
Reasons for selecting ambie
1. You can enjoy a safe and secure running life while listening to your favorite music.
In a survey conducted by R-Bees, 47% of runners answered that they "listen to music while running," while 51% answered that they "don't listen to music while running." Of the runners who don't listen to music, 26% answered that they "want to keep their ears open" for reasons such as "to avoid various risks" and "to feel the change of seasons ."
While there are many benefits to listening to music while running, there are also many potential dangers.
"Some people have given up on enjoying running while listening to their favorite music."
When I learned of this reality, I came across a product called "ambie," an earphone that does not block your ears.
Ambie is a unique ear cuff type earphone that can be worn without blocking the ear canal. You can enjoy your favorite music while still hearing environmental sounds that you cannot hear with conventional earphones, such as the sound of approaching bicycles and cars, and railroad crossings.
It's also perfect for situations where you want to listen to music while also enjoying the sounds of nature (such as birds chirping and waves crashing), so it's a highly recommended gadget for anyone who wants to enjoy their favorite music while feeling the nature.
2. Stress-free fit and stylish design
Many runners say that the longer they run, the more they feel like music is pushing them forward. That's where comfort becomes important. If the headphones feel heavy or hurt your ears, you won't be able to enjoy your run with music until the very end.
Amibé looks just like an accessory and is characterized by its gentle and light feel when worn.
I don't think many men wear accessories like this, but I was able to enjoy running without feeling uncomfortable even when wearing them for long periods of time.
3. Enjoy music in your life even outside of running
Ambie is perfect for spending time in an open space or working remotely from home.
It also makes it easier to hear things like the voices of family members and the intercom, which you wouldn't hear if your ears were covered, so communication isn't hindered.
The microphone supports CVC8.0 noise canceling for calls, which reduces background noise and wind noise, allowing you to have clear conversations.
Another nice feature is that it allows multi-pairing with up to four devices.

Do you understand why we chose ambie? We hope that ambie will help you enjoy the joy of running with music, and that it will help you live a life where music and running are always by your side.
