Bone-conducting headphones: The next must-have gadget?
Credit: Shokz
Bone-conducting headphones are a technological breakthrough gaining popularity in recent years. These headphones have revolutionised how we listen to audio by transmitting sound vibrations through our facial bones instead of covering or going inside our ears. This unique technology allows us to hear audio while being aware of our surroundings, making them a safer option for outdoor activities such as running, cycling, or hiking.
One of the main advantages of bone-conducting headphones is that they allow you to listen to music or take calls without completely blocking out external sounds. Unlike traditional headphones that create a seal around your ears, bone-conducting headphones rest on your cheekbones, leaving your ears open to hear ambient sounds such as traffic or people talking. This can be especially important for runners or cyclists who must be alert and aware of their surroundings to avoid accidents.
Another benefit of bone-conducting headphones is that they can help prevent hearing damage caused by using traditional headphones or earphones for extended periods. Traditional headphones and earphones can cause hearing loss or damage if used at high volumes. However, bone-conducting headphones bypass the outer and middle ear and send vibrations directly to the cochlea, reducing the risk of hearing damage.
Bone-conducting headphones are also an excellent option for individuals who experience discomfort or pain from wearing traditional headphones or earphones. As they don't cover or go inside your ears, they can relieve pressure or irritation caused by earbuds or over-ear headphones.
