What are bone conduction headphones

Bone conduction headphones are headphones that use the human bone as a medium to transmit sound to the hearing organs without passing through the external ear canal and eardrum. It works by converting sound into different mechanical vibrations and transmitting sound waves through the human skull, bone vagus, inner ear lymphatic fluid, spiral apparatus and auditory centre.

Compared to traditional in-ear headphones, bone conduction headphones have the following features:

1. Hearing protection: Compared to traditional headphones that transmit sound directly to the eardrum, bone conduction headphones work on the bones, so long-term use does not have a significant impact on the eardrum, and can more effectively protect people's hearing.

2. More comfortable: Compared to traditional headphones that need to go in the ear or wrap around the entire ear, bone conduction headphones are lighter and can be used normally by simply placing them outside the ear, which is relatively more comfortable and reduces the squeezing sensation that headphones bring to the ear.

3. Take into account the ambient sound: traditional in-ear headphones can block out a large part of the ambient sound, so in daily life, there may be some danger due to not hearing the ambient sound, while bone conduction headphones can completely release both ears, avoiding the danger caused by not hearing the ambient sound.

4. More hygienic: traditional headphones into the ear may bring a lot of bacteria, while bone conduction headphones can be used without entering the ear, to avoid the impact of external bacteria on the ear, more hygienic.

5. Wear more stable, suitable for sports: traditional headphones in the process of sports sweating will be easy to fall off, because traditional headphones rely on the cochlea fixed, but bone conduction headphones rely more on the outer ear fixed, more stable, not easy to fall off.
