Bone conduction headphones are innovative audio devices that transmit sound through the bones of your skull instead of directly into the ear canal. By resting lightly on the cheekbones near the ears, they use vibrations to send audio signals to the inner ear (cochlea), allowing you to hear music or calls while keeping your ear canals open to ambient sounds. This makes them ideal for outdoor activities, running, cycling, or work environments where situational awareness is important. Lightweight, comfortable, and often water-resistant, bone conduction headphones offer a unique listening experience that’s especially useful for people who prefer not to block their ears or who have certain types of hearing sensitivities.
