Wireless bone conduction headsets are becoming more and more popular among sports enthusiasts. Driven by them, more and more people are interested in this new type of headphones. To help you better understand them, here are some facts about this type of headphones.
1. Bone conduction headsets are new headphones developed using bone conduction technology, which transmits sound through bones;
2. They do not cover the ears, nor do they need to be inserted into the ears;
3. They will not damage the ears, they are the healthiest headsets for the ears. Because their sound transmission does not require the use of the eardrum, damage to the eardrum and auditory hair cells is minimal.
4.Wireless bone conduction headsets are not noise-canceling headsets. They don’t sound as perfect as traditional noise-canceling headphones. But if you’re using them for normal music listening, their sound quality is perfectly fine.
5. Bone conduction is a mature technology, bone conduction headset is a new application of this mature technology, and you can use it with confidence;
6. Wireless bone conduction headsets are not headsets with external speakers. It relies on the vibration unit to generate mechanical vibrations, and the sound is transmitted to the inner ear to make people hear the sound.
7. Bone conduction headsets generally have better waterproof performance. Their sound generation and sound transmission methods make them not need to reserve holes in the fuselage, and the entire headphone can be integrated.
8. They will have a slight sound leakage problem. But some better products handle sound leakage better.Such as Wissonly and Philips.
Although they have some small disadvantages, their advantages are more prominent
Advantages of wireless bone conduction headsets
The way bone conduction headsets are worn without earbuds brings tangible benefits:
- Safer: It does not block your ears when wearing it, allowing you to maintain awareness of the surrounding environment, making outdoor sports safer;
2.Healthier: it uses bones to transmit sound, and the sound is directly transmitted to the auditory nerve, avoiding damage to the eardrum, and can protect hearing well;
3.More hygienic: Wireless bone conduction headsets do not need to be worn in the ear, even if worn for a long time, they can keep the ear canal fresh and avoid otitis media, otitis media and other diseases caused by blocked ear canal;
4.More comfortable: They are very light, and there is no sense of weight when worn. The surface of many bone conduction headsets is made of skin-friendly soft material, which is very comfortable to wear;
5.Unique appearance: wearing wireless bone conduction headsets with unique design can help you attract more people’s attention;
When keeping in touch with the outside world, you can communicate with friends or colleagues while listening to music, and you will not neglect them because of listening to music.
These advantages also make them popular among young people.So how to choose the right headset? I think there are three key points to consider: sound quality, sound leakage reduction and comfort.Next, I will recommend some excellent headsets to you.
1. Wissonly Hi Runner wireless bone conduction headsets
Reason for recommendation:
Wissonly wireless bone conduction headsets, the product I use the most, is the first brand I started to contact. When they were crowdfunding online, I participated.
The sound quality is what I am most satisfied with. I am not a professional music player, but from my personal experience, Wissonly Hi Runner is the best sound quality bone conduction headsets I have ever used. It uses a large-sized 360-degree bone conduction vibration unit, and through structural optimization, the sounding area is increased by 35%, so that the sound range is wider, and the stereo feeling and shock of sound are stronger. Its anti-sound-leakage treatment is also very good. The whole body is completely sealed, and the algorithm is optimized to minimize the leakage of sound. I have tested it myself, and at a distance of 2 meters, the volume is turned on at 60%, so I can’t hear the sound at all.
Wissonly Hi Runner’s body is made of memory titanium, which can self-adjust the contact area. It can ensure a good wearing experience of the earphone at any time, taking into account more users and usage scenarios.
Hi Runner is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 chip, and the connection is more stable. It also has IPX8 professional sports waterproof +32g internal memory to swim in the water. The battery performance is also good, and it can play music continuously for 8–10 hours.
2. Philips A8606 bone conduction headphones
Reason for recommendation:
A8606 headphones are made of titanium alloy skeleton, wrapped with skin-friendly silicone material, which can not only keep the shape stable, but also cause no pressure on ears. The body fits auricle tightly, so it is easy to wear and can be used for a long time. This headphones adopts IPX5 waterproof design, so there will be no problem in drenching and sweating. The disadvantage is that the sound quality needs to be improved, and the sound leakage is also serious.
3.AfterShokz OPENRUN PRO wireless bone conduction headsets
Reason for recommendation:
The body of the Openrun Pro weighs only 26g, and it adopts Qualcomm QCC3024 low-energy chip +PremiumPitch 2.0 improved double suspension vibration transmission system and suspension damping technology, CVC call noise reduction algorithm and double silicon microphone. The battery life lasts for 8 hours, and the charging method is magnetic charging. The charging interface has a liquid residue detection function to ensure that it has a good waterproof performance. Its waterproof grade is IP67, and there is no problem with normal sweat. A short period of rain can be used, but it can’t be used for swimming.
4.Earsopen PEACE bone conduction headphones
Reason for recommendation:
The Japanese bone conduction headphones adopt the wearing method of ear clipping that is very novel. Although they are ear clipping type, after wearing it for a long time the ear will be somewhat painful. They have IPX7 waterproof performance. Both battery and charger can be used in the charging case, but there is a small problem that the charging case is not waterproof. Their sound quality is still good, and they are excellent in the audio performance of the high, medium and low. And there is a sound leakage problem, but the overall is still good.
5.Nank Runner CC3 wireless bone conduction headsets
Reason for recommendation:
Among entry-level headphones, the Runner CC3 still performs well. Its body is wrapped in a layer of skin-friendly material, which will not feel uncomfortable to wear during exercise, and the firmness is also good, which can firmly lock the headphones on the ears.
It also has an MP3 mode with 4G memory, which can save nearly 1,000 songs. You can enjoy listening to songs without a mobile phone. The waterproof level and battery life are average, and it is not suitable for swimming.
The above five wireless bone conduction headsets are all products with good performance.Among them, Wissonly and Aftershokz are the most recommended brands because they both have core technologies in this field. Compared with the two brands, Wissonly’s product parameters is better and cost-effective.
