Headphones with bone conduction sound - the best choice for those who love music and it is important to hear what is happening around. This technology provides sound transmission not in waves, as in conventional models, but with the help of vibration on the temporal bones of the skull. At the same time, the eardrum is not activated - the sound goes directly to the inner ear, so the headphones are ideal for people with poor hearing. In this case, the sound of familiar melodies will be changed. The differences are about the same as in the perception of your own voice during a conversation and while listening to the recording. The sound will not be perfect due to the characteristics of the transfer - the bass and high frequencies will be somewhat reduced. But in general, this is easy to get used to if you are not a music lover.
These headphones are ideal for people who need to hear what is happening around - drivers, athletes, young parents and so on. Initially, this is a military sound transmission technology, but now anyone who wants it can use it at a reasonable price. But it should be understood that these are specialized headphones that are definitely not suitable for music lovers. Another question - how to choose the right model? We decided to help you and ranked the best headphones with bone conduction sound. The most advanced and convenient models from those that can be bought on the limited Russian market got into it. The material is compiled, including on the basis of reviews, reviews and real user experience.
TOP-5 best bone conduction headphones
5 DigiCare Do Bone Conduction
A country: China
Average price: 4700 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.5
Chinese wireless device, deservedly in the top five. Headphones are comfortable, functional and easy to use. Additional convenience - in a rolling soft headband, which allows you to adjust the size to the size of your head. You can adjust the coverage up to the minimum values that will suit even a child. I am glad that in the presence of a hard case for storage - breaking the headphones when carrying will be problematic.
Manufacturers claim watertightness. Although we would not risk using a model in the pool and limiting moisture protection during rain and active sports. The specifications specify a polymer battery that can work up to 6 hours in active mode. At the same time it charges in 3 hours. Interestingly, manufacturers also claim the presence of an NFC chip in the device. Theoretically, this is convenient, but not everyone agrees to constantly remove the gadget from his head in order to pay for something in the store.
Unfortunately, the headphones turned out quite heavy - they weigh 55 grams with battery. It is also not very convenient that the controls and the impressive battery are on the back of the handle - this makes it heavier and heavier. Therefore, you have to turn your head more carefully.
4 Rombica FIT X-01
A country: Singapore
Average price: 4300 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6
A rather massive and inexpensive model. By the way, these are one of the few wireless headphones with bone conduction sound that can be bought in stores of large retailers, and not just online. The earpiece of the headphones is very thick and dense - it is difficult to break it, which will be a plus for sloppy and active users.
Built-in microphone, but only one. Therefore, when communicating via a smartphone or other portable device, there may be problems with audibility. But when working with a computer, everything is heard very well.The sound is not perfect - the “tops” and “bottoms” are not enough, in noisy places the music is heard poorly. But this is logical, given the technology and the price of its implementation in a particular model.
It is inconvenient that the handle is covered with gloss paint. It shows all the dirt and fingerprints. But on the inside of the headband is a flexible substrate, which helps to vary the size of the device. Due to her headphone stick better on any head. Some users complain that the emitters chatter instead of normal vibration, and this causes a headache. But the number of such reviews is small, which indicates a rare marriage.
3 Merlin Audiova Conduction Headphones
A country: UAE
Average price: 9100 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7
Technological headphones with bone conduction sound come from the UAE. Created for those who prefer to feel the device on the head, but do not get discomfort. The weight of the model is 43 grams, due to which they may seem a bit heavy. Although at the same time they are quite thin and elegant. In the reviews, customers write that they are pleased with the sound quality - the bass is deep and there are “top”, which is rare in the “bone” wireless headphones.
Charging for about 3 hours. Discharged at the same time for the standard 6 hours with active use. Conveniently stable connection with the sound source. Knock it down quite difficult. Maintain a distance of up to 10 meters from the signal source. But only under the condition that there are no metal and other shielding objects on the way.
Not happy that the “bone” headphones use only Bluetooth 3.0 against standard 4.0 and higher in other models, albeit with EDR. Also inconvenient is its own charging connector - in the event of a wire break, it is easier to throw out the device than to order a new one in the country of manufacture. But the assembly was different - with seeming fragility, the headphones are quite strong and flexible, so you can not be too afraid to break them.
2 Glasses earphones Alfa Sound
A country: Great Britain
Average price: 5990 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8
An unusual model, even for such a rare category in the Russian market, as headphones with bone conduction sound. This device combines sports sunglasses with large lenses and a polarized coating and headphones. Massive arms contain vibration emitters that transmit a signal to the temporal bones. These glasses are ideal for cyclists or drivers. They simultaneously protect the eyes and allow you to listen to music or signals from your smartphone, without blocking the surrounding sounds. What is very important on the road.
I am also pleased that the microphone is built into the glasses. You can quickly answer the call without stopping and without getting the smartphone. Conveniently, the control in the model is touch-free - you will not need to look for a button or switch, you just have to touch a certain place. Three options are available with brown, blue and gray lenses. Correspondingly, the colors of the case are different - black, blue and red.
Naturally, wireless headphones. They are charged in two hours, and it will take about 8 hours to fully discharge in talk mode or listening to music. Unfortunately, the model does not have moisture protection and is mounted like ordinary glasses. So with the active movements of the headphones can fly off the ears, it is worth being careful.
1 AfterShokz Trekz Titanium
A country: China
Average price: 7990 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9
Truly the best bone conduction headphones on the market. And not only in Russia - AfterShokz tightly occupied a niche and create very high-quality and convenient models around the world. Deserved first place. Thanks to the “airy” design, the model turned out to be easy and convenient. Weigh headphones only 36 grams, they are almost imperceptible on the head. Because of the design of the headband have a large space between the metal and the skin. Due to this, they are comfortable to wear with glasses. They do not put pressure on the arms, because of what the head does not hurt. According to reviews, the sound is much better here than other similar devices. But still not perfect.
Waterproof earphones - a rubberized handle will not allow sweat or light rain to spoil the device. Wireless, capture the signal at a distance of 10 meters from the source.The model is charged in 1.5 hours, able to work from one charge to 6 hours. You can connect headphones at the same time to two sources of sound - for example, to the navigator and smartphone.
The model uses technology LeakSlayer. Thanks to her, people around you will not hear what your headphones are vibrating - the problem of “leakage” of sound has been solved by 99%. Unfortunately, in reviews people write that the model’s power is not enough to listen to in the subway or in other places that are too noisy. But this is a scourge of almost any “bone” headphones.
