Built by a kitesurfer. For watersports athletes.
“Every session I'd have to choose between music and the ocean. I refused to accept that.”
— Ben, Founder of AONIC
Ben has been kitesurfing for over a decade. He knows what it feels like to drop into a perfect run with the right song playing — and he knows the frustration of headphones that fall off on the first wipeout.
After years of duct-taping earbuds under helmets and losing three pairs of headphones to the ocean, he decided to build the headphones he always wanted. AONIC Flow is the result.
2019
The problem
Lost his third pair of headphones to a wipeout in Tarifa. Decided enough was enough.
2021
The prototype
First bone conduction prototype tested in the ocean. Survived. The music didn't stop.
2023
The product
After 18 months of testing with pro kitesurfers, surfers, and SUP athletes — AONIC Flow was ready.
2024
AONIC is born
Launched to a waitlist of 2,000 watersports athletes who were tired of compromising.
FAQ
Everything you need to know.
Can I stream Spotify or Apple Music in the water?
Because Bluetooth signals cannot transmit through water, you cannot stream Spotify while submerged. However, you can easily drag-and-drop your downloaded MP3 files directly onto the headphones. For beach warm-ups or running on land, you can stream Spotify normally using the built-in Bluetooth 5.3.
How do I load music onto them?
It's as easy as a USB drive. Plug the magnetic cable into your computer and drag-and-drop your MP3 files directly onto the headphones. No software required.
Will they fall off during a wipeout?
No. AONIC Flow uses a titanium open-ear arc that wraps behind your head, combined with silicone ear hooks. Every pair also ships with a safety leash for total peace of mind.
Are they actually waterproof? What about salt water?
Yes. AONIC Flow is rated IPX8 — submersible to 10 metres for 30 minutes. They are fully salt-water resistant. After your session, just rinse them with fresh water.
How does bone conduction work?
Transducers sit against your cheekbones and transmit sound directly to your inner ear. Your ears stay completely open, meaning you can hear the ocean, the wind, and your music all at once.
Do I need my phone?
No. With 32GB of built-in storage, you can leave your phone on the beach.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 10 hours of continuous playback. They fully recharge in 1.5 hours via the included magnetic dock.
What sports are they designed for?
Kitesurfing, surfing, SUP, windsurfing, wakeboarding, open water swimming, running, and cycling.
When will my order ship?
Batch 1 pre-orders are currently in production and will ship within 6 weeks of your order date.
What's your return policy?
We offer a 30-Day Ocean Guarantee. Take them out. Wipeout. If you don't love them, return them for a full refund, no questions asked.
