The brand’s M2 Open Ear Sport headphones has scooped the top prize in the gadget category of the 2014 Running Awards, as well as Barefoot Running Magazine’s Gadget of the Year accolade.
Says Rodney Annet,
managing director of Pinpoint Consumer Electronics, the exclusive distributor of AfterShokz Sport headphones in the UK and Eire: “We have been delighted with the take-up at retail and ultimately the large percentage of AfterShokz customers who then took the time to vote for their favourite headphones.
“We can’t wait to see the reaction to the new range to be released later this year.”
Annet received confirmation of the awards at The Virgin London Marathon Exhibition, which took place at ExCeL in London’s Docklands on April 9-12, and at which AfterShokz had a stand.
“Attendance at the expo was an integral part of creating increasing public product awareness for AfterShokz retailers,” he explains.
“It follows on the back of AfterShokz partnering the Greater Manchester Marathon, which actively encouraged the use of open ear headphones during the race.
“Runners enjoy listening to music and staying connected to their mobiles when training and racing – it enhances their enjoyment of the event.”
