Wing 2 general discussion

Raippakari

A Finnish retailer summed up the differences:

“Compared to the first version of the Wing, this version 2 differs in the following ways: it now includes voice guidance for workouts and movement sensor-based workout control. The Bluetooth version is 5.3 instead of the previous 5.2. The environmental protection rating has decreased from IP67 to IP66, which, however, can still withstand things like a downpour without issues. The speaker drivers are slightly larger than before (24.2 x 15.1 x 6.2 mm vs. the previous 22.1 x 13.15 x 6.5 mm). Charging now happens directly via a USB-C port instead of a charging dock. Oh, and it’s also heavier by a whole two grams!”

Mashable wrote that:

“The Wing 2 headphones sport a lighter, slimmer shell, so you’ll find both the fit and sound quality are much improved. The weight distribution has also been adjusted forward to make them more comfortable and keep the earbuds securely in place during long wear”

Does anyone have any first hand experience or links to reviews?

From what i could read the main upgrade seems to be abilty to have direct link to the watch and get direct feedback for metrics (pace…)

I would like to know what’s difference between wing vs wing 2.

I love my Wing and more my Aqua !

m. h.

@Tieutieu there is no review anywhere highlighting these features.

can anybody who has them already talk about what it is specifically they do with that audio feeback?

Mi_chael

@m.-h.

I found this test Wing 2

He speak of two more led fonctions than the original Wing.
Run cadence and bike brake and turn.

He speak of more quality audio and also mic wind reduction.

Finally connection with Race 2 for pace notification.

@Mi_chael Sounds great! There also seems to be the neck fatigue test and the jump test as a feature - the Wing1 didn’t have them or did it?

Shrek3k

@VoiGAS No, Wing 1 did not - and does not - have these two features

Mi_chael

Finally i bought a combo Wing 2 and Race 2.

Someone can explain to me how to connect together for « Real-time performance feedback from Suunto watch »

Thanks

Tieutieu

@Mi_chael can’t help you because not user neither of Wing 2 and race 2, but my understanding is that it might be “feature to come”. Not sure you can have that yet with current FW of SR2. Maybe @isazi could confirm ?

@Tieutieu I also do not have a Wing 2 so cannot test, I know there is a S+ app for Wing 2 that should be released soon. @Mi_chael have you tried pairing the Wing 2 to the Watch as if it was a sensor?

Mi_chael

@isazi @Tieutieu

Yes I heard also for S+ but nothing official by Suunto.

I tried to connect like a sensor but nothing happens.

I wait for the Suunto communication.

Thanks a lot guys !

Tieutieu

Sounds intersting ; I’d love to see a lime color coming like on wing 1
