Allow me to add a 5th reason: safety. I was looking for earbuds that would stay in my ears after wasting money on expensive ones that hurt and popped out. Bone conduction headphones were what the folks at my local running store suggested, and after using them for a week I see why. I can listen to my music same as ever, they stay put no matter how much I sweat, and I can also hear other runners, bikes, cars, and animals coming from behind. I am sold! Thank you for explaining how this technology works.

Did you try bone conduction headphones, yet? What you recommend?

One of my pros: doesn't increase the heat in your ears as with the traditional closed-back headphones. I've experienced rapid ear wax buildup and I've heard that covered ears yield faster microbial growth. Another pro Is that when I'm working with these on, I don't have to take them off to turn around and acknowledge another person or their conversation.

Another advantage of bone conduction hearing devices is that they do not cover the ear (you already mentioned that part) but what you didn't mention is that it actually complies with traffic laws, for example, in Denmark you're not allowed to cycle with earphones on as it causes accidents when you can't quite hear the traffic around you. but with bone conduction, that's not a problem at all cause you're not covering the ear.

Hi! I was recently diagnosed with chronic otitis media and was curious how you have been treating/maintaining it? Also if you found any long term health cons with using conduction headphones!

If you want the Bass experience - put the earplugs on. This simulates the noise cancellation of the typical earbuds but it negates the whole purpose of hearing what is happening around you which is annoying for me as a cyclist and is ultimately UNSAFE. I just bought a pair of Openmove by Aftershokz today and took it on a bike ride and absolutely loved it. No ear stress, fits perfectly in my helmet with sunglasses. I can listen to music and make calls and hear my Varia warn me of incoming vehicles from behind. Thumbs up totally !

Really glad to hear this review from an audiologist! It is encouraging to hear that these are safe from a health standpoint. I am considering these for running--as a female I don't like to run without an awareness of my environment, but my runs are getting awfully boring. I have TMJ issues, so one of my concerns was the potential for the vibration to agitate my jaw. I think I will have to try them out for myself, but it was encouraging to hear that when you were working out you didn't seem to notice the vibration. Thanks for the video!

Super helpful. I had an ear tumor removed (vestibular schwannoma) thus I can only hear out of 1 ear so it was super helpful to know that bone conduction is not a magic pill that would allow hearing in my deaf ear. But I'm still super interested for my good ear so that I can hear traffic when I'm running outside.

I know your pain. Over 35 years with just one good ear, the left, car accident when I was 18. Hasn’t really effected me negatively too much. I use Racon earbuds and they work perfectly, highly recommend. Be well.

I work at a power plant and around very loud equipment so hours and hours of walking and taking logs gets so dull. I love audio books and podcasts and bone conduction headphones were an absolute perfect tool. I looked at headphone ear plug combinations but I didn’t want to just plug my ears and drown everything out because I do need to hear my surroundings and my radio. Also ear plug headphone combo’s have a lower decibel rating than actual ear plugs and I want to protect my hearing as much as possible. So it works perfectly because I can have my ear plugs in, I can hear my surroundings and radio and the bone conduction headphones work even better with ear plugs, especially when I just use it for spoken word media like books and podcasts

Explained with excillency. Thank u so much.

Bone conduction headsets are especially good for any situation in public where you want to be aware of your surroundings. You don't have the best sound quality, but can be aware of what's going on around you. I wear the Trekz Aftershokz headset for road cycling because in the ear headsets are dangerous. They block your hearing vehicle traffic. Because of that our cycling club disallows their use for our group rides. I would also recommend them for folks who run or walk on biking/walking paths. Nothing is more irritating than coming up behind a runner on a path and shouting "on your right" and having them not be able to hear you because their ears are plugged up with a headset. This would also be applicable for individuals walking around streets and traffic. A company called "Coros" has now also come out with this technology built into cycling helmets.

I have bluetooth bone conduction and i like this hearing method,,i tried a experiment with bone conduction and i downloaded a frequency generator application and i try a 22KHz tone and i heard this frequency and for me that was very impressive and still unbelievable !!! Due to bluetooth it limits at 22KHz (due to 44.1KHz samplerate) after that i tried with piezoelectric sensor as speaker and i touch it next to my ears and i hear maximum at ~40KHz but it hurts and with spectrum analyzer i checked if theres harmonics etc but on the air (normal hearing) i hear at ~19KHz. I dont know if older ages can hear above 20KHz with bone conduction.

This is the first time I've heard of bone conduction headphones. Since I've never seen one before, it would have been helpful to see an actual pair in the video and how they sit on your head. Thanks for all your great informative videos!

AweSomeNess PerSoNiFied I am thoroughly enjoying my aeropex & my friend is loving their opencomms . They sound greats & even better if you chose to plug your ears . The calls on both have been crystal clear . I cant hype these enough .

So excited to try these. I have osteostenosis. I've had surgery on one ear but not the other. I started having hearing loss at a very young age. Recently I've started noticing a big difference in one ear verses the other when I am listening to my earbuds. Hopefully this will alleviate some of that difference.

Thanks for the tips

I am in my 60's, work from home on the phone and have hearing loss. I just bought Shokz Open Comm headset using bone conduction. It's remarkable, amazing what a change it is, my hearing is so much better on the phone. Also, they are very comfortable, nothing in my ear.

Thank you Dr Cliff.

I’m considering getting bone conducting headphones because I wear my in ears so much that my ear canals are full of wax and always humid beyond normal. Would that be good for that?

Truly valuable information. Thank you!

I've been using bone conduction for a few years now. I've had cheap corded headphones & I have owned all types of Bluetooth ones we well. Even purchased some ear bugs & I can tell you that bone conduction is the best. I can workout with them on, I work outside & they don't slide out of my ears due to sweat or ear wax. Plus I can have them on & still hear my surroundings. They suck for loud nosies like running the lawnmower but they should come with plugs to put in your ears to fix that issue. Drawback: sound quality isn't that great compared to the ear buds or over the ear headphones but hey it's a small sacrifice to gain so much freedom & reliability.

Thanks for telling it straight. Round earbuds of all sizes cause me a lot of pain and pop out even when I'm sitting still. The only comfortable ones I've ever found were the "Apple" style that have the more boxy shape and are hard than the soft round ones, but trying to search for good quality sound with that shape is nearly impossible. This sounds like something worth trying out! Thank you!

I really like them for activity. Running or biking. I even use mine while hunting or fishing either in my canoe or from shore to kill some of the slow periods by listening to audiobooks.

Thank you for the informative and fact based information. Sometimes hard to find! Saying that, I think bone conduction headphones won't be in my future. Something I realize I like about my earbuds in a gym setting is the isolation. I don't want to hear anything but my music.

What are your thoughts of bone conduction and APD? Or those that might struggle with differentiate between foreground and background sounds? With these aspects, would you think bone conduction would be good for a classroom setting or not?

I will try these... thanks

I'm glad I have these now. My ear is sensitive but with these headphone I can listen music for a longer time without my ear aching. Normally with direct earphone my ear aches too soon after using. I think this is the best for someone having ear problem.

Went and got me a pair today now I can finally hear totally!!! Never heard of them until today. Went in best buy for bose companion and guy who helped me out actually had a set on. He has hearing loss as well... so I tried em and so far I'm satisfied with them

As a hearing aid wearer...I have to say I love these. I can keep my hearing aids in and listen to my phone and computer. No taking one out to put another in! So glad I bought a pair. As for sound quality I find it is good for my needs which are audiobooks, meetings and music. My hearing loss is not a conduction loss so hearing of music is not improved with this device and if turned up loud the vibration from the bass is very annoying (even vertigo causing at times). But for my purposes I am so satisfied.

The absolute best for Tinnitus. Use them daily. I use Aftershock. Cost me $160 compared to $3,000k hearing aid that Kaiser Permanent wanted to sell me. Left ear has always had a loss of hearing. I do like the amplifier option too that is offered in the settings of the software.

Bone conduction headphones can have varying degrees of water resistance or waterproof levels, so they could be quite durable for something so small to natural wear and tear over time from your sweat and moisture. This also means it's easy to wipe and wash with a cloth or alcohol wipe to sanitize it.

Thanks for the video 🎉

Hi, I would like to know if bone conduction headphones could reproduce well the upper part of the spectrum (5khz to let's say 16khz...). This is because I am trying to reproduce binaural sound and HRTF are badly affected by these ear canal resonances when using air conduction headphones and I don't see yet any other solution to circumvent this problem. Thank you !

Good explanation....

Would these be a better option for someone with hyperacusis and severe tinnitus? Which style listening device has the least chance of making those conditions worse?

I like to listen to music while I work, this means having earbuds in or headphones on for an extended period of time but I've noticed that after an hour or two my ears start hurting (no matter how well fitted headphones I use). For me that was the reason to try bone conducting ones, they hurt less and I can still communicate with my coworkers without having to stop the music. Best decision ever.

This is very informative. Thank you.

Why are these not more popular?

Dr. Cliff, thanks for the explanation! As a musician, I have sensorineural hearing loss bilaterally, I make sure to use high fidelity earplugs at every loud event/occasion, now when I want to listen to music or work out, I have to use my in ear monitor, which means having to take out both my CIC hearing aids (my audiologist told me eventually I'll have to get the behind the ear ones) which means carrying a hardcase.

Hi Sebastian. I think you are asking if the fidelity of sound transferred by BC headphones or BT hearing aids is good. You would likely want to avoid BC headphones and stick to BT hearing aids that can compensate for the loss, or use a set of circumaural BOSE headphones with an equalizer app on your smartphone.

Great video- really enjoyed. Maybe I missed it on video or in comments, I like bone conduction for voice calls or audio books, as they do have adequate quality and you can hear things around you in your environment even though you are listening to your headphones.

I had surgery to remove am Acoustic Neuroma and I now have one sided deafness and I wear glasses. I’m curious if I would be a candidate for this type of hearing aid.

Phenomenal video.

One more reason is specifically targeted to swimming, it's a bit tricky sometimes to make a perfect seal between the ear and conventional earbuds when swimming. But with bone conduction headphones you don't have to deal with that

Thanks for reviewing these. I don't care about cool, I care about hearing what I'm trying to listen to.

Great introduction to Bone Conduction Headphones. One question though: Do they also double up as 'Hearing Aids'? Do they have microphones? I have to wear hearing aids - and I just found out why for me it is imperative: I listened to the output on my computer to a variable frequency generator and was appalled to find I could not hear any frequency above 700Hz. Until I retired I was a Piano Tuner - in a prestigious Opera House - not only pianos, though, but Harpsichords as well. As my hearing degenerated I turned to getting some expensive hearing aids. Then discovered they distorted the tones I was listening to in a most unfortunate way called 'aliasing'. This is when a tone is modified and caused to have another tone riding on it - like a deep vibrato. This can be adjusted in 'settings' on the hearing aids but with the result that the sound level goes down. Which makes difficulty in tuning Harpsichords in a live environment. Hence my interest in using Bone Conduction Headphones - and - can they be used as hearing aids?? I look forward to your reply Dr. Olson.
