Very curious to try. I bought some surprisingly cheap ones to see if it would be worth spending more on them, but the ones I received said nothing about bone conduction so the ad was a flat out lie.
Yes
Yes
If you turn them up to high volume, they distort, buzz, and tickle on your skin. So only quiet to mid volume. The sound quality is medium-high(I'm no audiophile). Being able to listen to media and be aware of surroundings is excellent. Previously achievable with in-earbuds, only by doing the one earpiece dangle. Sweat/water resistant. 8hr playtime. Pretty wild.
You know they make gobs of different "open ear" earbuds. It's what I use most of the time. No bone conduction needed. The speaker is just positioned close to your ear hole. They also make glasses with em built in that way.
I did not know about open ear earbuds, thanks for the option.
Do they have audio spill for people around you?
Part of my use-case for bone conducting models, is playing music or podcasts with no spill, while others are sleeping or chatting closeby in the car/house.
There's some amount of spill over from the kind built into glasses, but almost none on the kind that hook over and rest in your ear. They also make a kind that sort of clips onto your ear, but I haven't tried that style.
Good to know. The clip ones looked straight out of a 90s tech movie.
