If you talk about black technology in headphones industry, then you have to mention bone conduction headphones. In the propaganda advertisements of bone conduction headphones, bone conduction headphones are often said to transmit sound through the jawbone. Because they do not cover the ears, this type of headphones does not affect you listening to other sounds while listening to the sound of the headphones. So, what is the experience of wearing bone conduction headphones? ?

What is the experience of wearing bone conduction headphones?

First of all, in terms of overall evaluation, bone conduction headphones are just a type of headphones with obvious advantages and disadvantages. If you need a pair of headphones, listen to some audio books, or some other content that does not have too high requirements for sound quality, or you need to use the headset in a noisy environment, or in an environment where people talk. Then, I suggest you buy bone conduction headphones. Let’s talking about the wearing experience via below factors:

Sound quality

In terms of sound quality, the sound quality of bone conduction headphones can only be said to be average. Bone conduction headphones which cost about 50USD, sound quality is equivalent to the kind of poor external speakers. Therefore, those who pursue extreme sound quality effects can give up considering the choice of bone conduction headphones. Therefore, if you choose to listen to music or other content that has high requirements for sound quality, it is not recommended to buy bone conduction headphones.

Convenience / security

The biggest benefit of bone conduction headphones is convenience and safety. Because the sound is transmitted through the jawbone and does not cover the ears, therefore, when driving, running or riding, it is safer than traditional headphones. Moreover, when talking to people, you don’t need to take off your headphones, you can talk to people while listening to songs. Therefore, the most suitable use scenario of bone conduction headphones is on the way to and from work, when running or riding on the street.

Comfort

Since bone conduction headphones transmit sound through vibration, as long as you use bone conduction headphones, you will always feel vibration. The louder the headphones, the higher the intensity of the vibration. If you turn on the bone conduction headphones for a long time, you will inevitably feel uncomfortable. But it also depends on your environment and what you listen to. Although bone conduction headphones do not damage the periosteum, they can damage other parts of the hearing, so it is recommended not to use the bone conduction headphones to the maximum volume.

Volume

This aspect is the biggest advantage of bone conduction headphones, but also its biggest disadvantage. On the one hand, it does not affect you talking to people while listening to songs, and it also means that once you are in a noisy environment such as a street or a subway station, the volume of bone conduction headphones is often easily covered. However, if the sound of bone conduction headphones is turned on to the maximum, they will often make them feel uncomfortable after listening for a long time. In a particularly noisy environment, bone conduction headphones are also a chicken rib.

Battery life

In general, the higher the volume, the greater the power consumption. If you turn on with high volume and listen for a long time, you usually need to charge it once a day. If you listen less, it will vary from person to person.

Wearing

Wearing bone conduction headphones does not affect wearing glasses and windshields. However, it will affect the ear protectors or earmuffs worn in winter, and there will be a problem of air leakage.

In general, bone conduction earphones are suitable for people who are in noisy environments when the earphones are used for listening to audiobooks and other contents that don’t requirement high sound quality when the climate is not so cold.
