What Are Bone Conduction Headphones and How to Wear it?
Bone conduction headphones are the latest popular sports headphones. Compared with common sports headphones, they are an alternative existence. The advantages of them are very prominent, so they have a large number of supporters among people who love sports.. However, more people may have just heard them and are curious about them, but they don’t really know about them. So, what are bone conduction headphones? I will give you a complete answer.
We have learned in middle school that the medium of sound transmission includes solid, liquid and air. Generally, sound waves are transmitted to the inner ear in two ways: air conduction and bone conduction. Air conduction is well known. In the case of air conduction,the sound waves pass through the pinna and external auditory canal to the middle ear, and then pass through the auditory bone chain to the inner ear. Bone conduction is that: sound waves pass into the inner ear through the vibration of the skull, jaw and other head bones. Bone conduction is another important way of hearing besides air conduction. Bone conduction headphones are made based on this principle.
Next, I will tell you how to wear bone conduction headphones?
Unlike traditional headphones, bone conduction headphones do not need to be stuffed into ears or cover the ears, but their vibration units are attached to the temporal bone protrusions in front of the human ears. They will be very comfortable to wear without any burden on the ears and neck.
Hanging ear type is also the most common form of bone conduction headphones, it is suitable for sports enthusiasts, such as runners. And it’s also waterproof, so swimmers can wear it with confidence.
In addition, drivers can also use hanging ear bone conduction headphones when answering calls. It does not affect the wearing of glasses, windproof goggles when you wear them. They all can fit the ears well.
Bone conduction headphones have many advantages, such as health, not harming the ears, hygiene, safety. Because of these advantages they are becoming more and more popular. Some people are immediately moved by seeing the publicity. It should be noted that the purchase of them is also a lesson, because you will accidentally buy products of poor quality, or fake bone conduction headphones. In order to help everyone choose good bone conduction headphones, I specially selected some easy-to-use, cost-effective and real bone conduction headphones for reference.
1.Wissonly Hi Runner bone conduction headphones
Reason for recommendation:
The vibration unit optimization technology of Wissonly bone conduction headphone is the first echelon in the industry. Because their team has 10 years of accumulation in the field of bone conduction, and is highly respected by industry insiders in terms of product quality and hearing protection.
Once there was a saying that bone conduction headphones had bad sound quality. But Wissonly Hi Runner refreshes this understanding. It is excellent in terms of sound quality. It uses a 360-degree bone conduction vibration unit, it increase the vibration area by 35% compared with common bone conduction headphones. And its sound transmission loss is lower by bone conduction, which makes the sound more powerful.
Wissonly Hi Runner has also been added with a number of innovative features to make them suitable for more life scenes. It supports IPX8 waterproof of diving level. This is very good for me who loves swimming, and the crazy thing is that it can still work under 20 meters of water! It also has 32GB of memory, so you can play music without connecting your phone.I basically use it as an MP3 player, and don’t take my phone with me when I go out for night running.

In terms of appearance, Wissonly Hi Runner adopts the classic black color, and the simple appearance design, matching them no matter what the scene is and what clothes you wear.
2.AfterShokz Open Swim bone conduction headphones
Reason for recommendation:
The whole body of the Open Swim bone conduction headphones is made of titanium metal, which is tough and durable. It can be worn firmly to fit the ears. The whole body uses a integrated design with no hole design,so the waterproof performance of the body reaches IP68 grade. The sound source unit adopts a long strip structure design, making the speaker veneer area larger and the sound transmission efficiency higher. It has 4G built-in memory, it can store thousands of songs and last up to 8 hours, which can meet the needs of a day’s exercise. But this headphone does not support Bluetooth and call function.
- FMJV13 bone conduction headphones
Reason for recommendation:
FMJV13 bone conduction headphones are cheap and practical. The body is made of titanium alloy, so the headphones will not deform under bending and twisting. It uses music surround design, which greatly improves its sound quality. The ergonomic sunken design gets headphones fitted snugly against our ears without falling out. In terms of sound quality, it is sufficient for daily listening needs. This product has a certain sound leakage problem, and it may not be suitable for those who are concerned about privacy.
- NANK Runner CC2 bone conduction headphones
Reason for recommendation:
The right outside of the Runner CC2 bone conduction Bluetooth headphones is the control function area. It is simple to control and there is no problem with blind operation. The soft material is very comfortable to stick to the ear. And the wearing by hanging ear scheme is indeed very stable. It supports Bluetooth 5.0, uses built-in ceramic chip and signal enhancement technology. So the headphone signal is very stable during use. Its battery life and water resistance are not as good as the two products recommended above.
Well, these are several bone conduction headphones introduced to you. While this technology becomes more and more mature, the experience of them will definitely become more and more excellent.
