The Rarity of Over – Ear Sports Headphones and Under Armour’s Opportunity
Many headphones are designed with a focus on sports, yet the majority come in in – ear or on – ear styles. Over – ear sports headphones are quite scarce. Under Armour saw this as a market with great potential for exploration.
Dwayne Johnson’s Endorsement and the Project Rock Edition Headset
On June 22nd, 2025, Dwayne Johnson, the well – known hardcore action movie star often referred to as “The Rock”, who had been collaborating with Under Armour for nearly a year, once again became the brand’s endorser and renewed the “The Rock” series of products. Among them, besides sportswear, there is a special training over – ear Bluetooth headset named “Project Rock Edition”.
The Project Rock headset, featuring the “Boulder Johnson” design, can be regarded as a special version of the new UA Sport Wireless Headset in the Project Rock series from a technical perspective.
Unique Design for Sweat – proof and Stable Wear
The ear cushions’ exterior is wrapped in a special, highly stretchy, and breathable fabric developed by Andres. This fabric is composed of supervent breathable mesh and Under Armour Grip anti – slip micro – particles. It feels soft and, no matter how intense the exercise or how much one sweats, it is difficult to slip off the head. This sweat – proof fabric is directly detachable and washable. With the help of the air – permeable hard shell on the outermost side of the headset, it can dry quickly and naturally. Even right after washing, it can be immediately put back in place and worn for use.
In terms of wear stability, the Project Rock Edition headband and ear cushions have “Grip material” inside, ensuring the headset remains stable on the wearer. The buttons on the outside of the right ear cup are deliberately made large, a design clearly aimed at enabling quick and accurate control while in motion.
Convenient Features of the Project Rock Headset
The Project Rock headset is foldable and supports JBL fast charging and TalkThru no – take conversation technology. When TalkThru is enabled, the music is automatically muted, and the microphone’s volume is increased for vocal gain, allowing the wearer to chat with those around without removing the headset.
The built – in 610 mAh battery offers the convenience of a 5 – minute charge for 1 hour of wireless music listening. It takes 2 hours to fully charge, and has a full battery life of 16 hours. There is also a 3.5mm headphone jack available. However, it should be noted that the headset only supports Bluetooth 4.1 and does not support lossless Bluetooth audio protocols like aptX, so its audio effect is at a “basic listening” level.
Availability of the Project Rock Edition
The Project Rock Edition is currently available on the Under Armour webstore and ua.com. If you are interested in this unique over – ear sports headset, don’t miss the chance to get one!
