Bone conduction headphones are legitimately cool, and I think this will change my work behavior.

huh?

The sound enters your ear through the bone, not the ear canal. Since your ears aren't plugged, you can hear everything around you.

I got these:

how’s sound quality, leakage and anything else that you’ve found interesting?

They don't get as loud, but sound quality is pretty decent. Not going to compare to AirPods, but I think they're for another usecase (I have AirPods). These are for when you want to hear, but have background music and be able to talk on the phone, but still be aware of your surroundings. For background tunes, they're solid.

perfect near traffic and sports 💜

Exactly, or if you're like me and have a boss that likes to interrupt your productivity a thousand times a day to ask how it's going. 😂

me after the 3rd time

I finally had that moment. Kinda snapped at turned to him and said, "Exactly like it was the other four fucking times you asked me. Don't call me bro, I'll call you."

The advantages of being a "consultant" in a tiny industry almost nobody knows anything about.

Also, they're waterproof.

Agree with samecat here. The vibration if turned up loud is a thing but you get used to it

The sound quality is not as good as AirPods or a set of over ear

Use cases for sure

I've seen them but never used them, they seem cool also kinda strange lol

I’ve been using them for some time now on riding my bike. I can still hear the traffic. Helps to be that bit safer. Also they don’t fall out and get run over by a car. Ask me how I know that 🔥

They take a bit of getting used too but doable

Yeah. I'm also wondering if they're going to be more comfortable wearing them in bed.

That’s a no for me. Can’t lay on your back.

I'm a side sleeper. So buds cut into my ears.

Interested how they would work on the motorcycle with a full helmet (which is tight over the ears).

Not good. The plastic securing thing that goes around the back of your head sits proud by some distance. This is why can’t lay on your back as well

whelp. Back to the drawing board. Trying not to invest in a super spendy helmet with comms.

One of my best purchases ever

I wonder how this affects your body in terms of EMF radiation 🤔

EMF would be the same as any Bluetooth headphones. It sends audible waves through your bones. Has drivers similar to speakers.

🎧🔥 Bone conduction headphones are indeed a game-changer. They allow you to enjoy your favorite tunes while still being aware of your surroundings. This can enhance your productivity and focus at work. Enjoy the new experience! 😊 #BoneConductionHeadphones #GameChanger

Fellow fan of the Shokz, for the rink and the skatepark they're perfect.
