Free your ears with bone-conduction headphones

They’re great for cycling, running or the office.

As a cyclist who loves listening to music while I ride, I’ve tried a couple of different things, including bone-conduction headphones.

Thinking they were gimmicky, I was really surprised at how good they sound.

It’s really quite freaky how well they work, piping music, podcasts or phone calls into your head by vibrating your cheekbone.

Meanwhile they leave your ear holes wide open to keep you aware of your surroundings.

So it’s no surprise that bone-conduction headphones are popular with cyclists and runners, as well as office workers who are on the phone all day but need to hear what’s going on around them. They’re also favored by people with hearing deficiencies or who wear in-ear hearing aids.

We have a surprisingly-affordable pair of wireless bone-conduction headphones on sale right now for just $33.99.

Bone-conduction headphones leave your ear holes open.

These open-ear headphones use bone-conduction tech to deliver audio without plugging up your ears.

These wireless bone-conduction earphones work with iPhones, Macs and iPads. And they let you mix your Apple Music playlist into your soundscape while keeping your ears open for what you need to hear.

Hear everything with bone-conduction technology

Being aurally unaware of your surroundings is never a problem with these bone-conduction headphones. They simply free up your eardrums by sending the audio directly to your inner ear via your jaw and skull.

That means you can jam out to your favorite playlist and still hear that FaceTime chime or a co-worker asking you a question. These earphones fit discreetly over the ear, too, so you can easily wear them anywhere you’d like.

The headphones are rated IPX6

With Bluetooth connectivity, you can switch your headphones’ pairing from your iPhone to your MacBook or iPad easily. A built-in microphone lets you take calls without having to shut off the world.

These wireless headphones also can be worn all day, as their alloy and soft plastic construction makes them both durable and comfortable. And with four color options (red, blue, black and white) in a matte finish, you can stand out or blend in as much as you like.

All-day audio anywhere you go

Six hours of battery life mean you can enjoy your music and take your calls all day without interruption. (When the headphones need extra juice, you can easily recharge them with a USB cable.) IPX6 water resistance means you can wear these bone-conduction headphones during a sweaty gym sesh or a splash through the rain without any worries.

These innovative earbuds earned 5 out of 5 stars, with one verified customer writing, “Comfortable! I usually forget that I have them on. I’ve bought 2 pairs in addition to mine for family members.”

They come in four colors: black, white, red and blue.
