7 Facts About Wireless Bluetooth Bone Conduction Headset Phones and Their Working Principle
Apr 07,2023 | David
In the past two years, wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones have been the hottest electronic product and are very popular among sports fans. We often see people wearing them when running, cycling, and exercising. But about wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones, everyone’s understanding is different. To help you better understand them, I sorted out some facts about this type of headphones.
7 Facts About wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones
1. Bone conduction earphone is a kind of headphone that transmits sound through bones. The process of transmitting sound does not need to pass through the air and eardrum;
2. They are generally ear-hanging type, it does not need to plug the earplugs into the ear or cover the whole ear;
3. Wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones cause the least damage to the ears and are the healthiest headphones. They can also keep the ear canal clean;
4. Wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones are very suitable for wearing when exercising. They can not only let you hear music but also hear the sound of the surrounding environment, which is safer.
5. The sound quality of wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones is slightly worse than that of traditional noise-canceling headphones, but the sound quality is fine when listening to music or talking on the phone; They have a slight sound leakage problem.
6. Wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones are all waterproof, and some are even professional IPX8 waterproof.
7. Bone conduction is a mature technology that has long been used in the military, firefighting, hearing aids, and other fields. Headphones are a new application of this mature technology. The reliability and safety have been tested and can be used with confidence;
How does wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones work
To understand how wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones work, we must first understand how we hear sound.
Simply put, sound is a vibration, and the source of sound can cause air, liquid, and solid to vibrate. The sound we hear everyday is this vibration into the ear, so the eardrum vibrates. The vibration of the eardrum passes through the ear ossicles to the part behind the ear called “cochlea”. The cochlea then transmits sound information from the cochlea to the brain center, and finally we hear it. The process by which we hear sound includes both air vibration and solid (bone) vibration.
The working principle of wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones is that they transmit sound not through air vibrations, but all through solid (bone) vibrations. The sound unit is usually attached to the temple, and emits mechanical vibrations. The skull transmits the vibrations to the cochlea that in turn transmits the sound information to the brain center, so the sound is heard.
The sound transmission path of wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones is that: sound waves, skull, bone labyrinth, inner ear lymph, spiral organ, auditory nerve, cerebral cortex auditory center. Compared with our traditional way of hearing sound (that is air conduction method), their transmission path is shorter, where air and the eardrum are no longer needed. So they can play a significant protective role to the eardrum, and are a very healthy kind of headphones.
It can be said that bone conduction headset phones are good for using, and the following i will recommends several good headphones to everyone.
1. Wissonly Hi Runner wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones
Reason for recommendation:
Wissonly’s core team is a team engaged in the research and development of bone conduction products earlier. They have accumulated 10 years’ technology in this field. They have adopted the best acoustic laboratory in the Eastern Hemisphere for sound adjustment. Wissonly Hi Runner has good technical solutions to the problems of sound leakage, sound quality and waterproof of pseudo-wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones.
Wissonly bone conduction vibrator adopts a unique full-wrapped design, which makes the vibrator work in a closed environment, reducing the impact on the shell, thus reducing the vibration of the shell and finally reducing the sound leakage by 90%.
Wissonly uses a large-size bone conduction vibrator, and the effective vibration area of the vibrator is increased by 35% through structural optimization. At the same time, the sound transmission direction is optimized, the sound loss is reduced, and the sound is more concentrated.
Wissonly Hi Runner adopts integrated molding technology, with no holes in the headphones’ body and it is no splicing, which realizes IPX8 waterproof, and can be used for swimming and bathing. Even in the depth of 20 meters, diving is no problem.
It also has 32G of built-in memory, which can store 5000 songs. You can use it as amp3 player when you don’t have a mobile phone.
In a word, Wissonly Hi Runner is a product with powerful functions, stable technology and high cost performance.
2. Philips A6606 wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones
Reason for recommendation:
Philips A6606 is very pleasant to touch, especially the side is softer and touches the skin. It looks like an advanced product on hand. And the charging joint soft plug of the headphone and the gap between different parts are smooth, and the overall workmanship is quite good.
It supports for dual-microphone stereo calls, and is made very well in terms of call quality. A6606 supports mobile phone APP control, if a call comes in during running or cycling, it can be connected by simply touching the left unit, which will not affect the safety of riding. And bone conduction sound pickup technology + dual noise-canceling microphones can also filter out the wind noise during moving forward, and the call effect is guaranteed.
3.AfterShokz OPENRUN PRO wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones
Reason for recommendation:
It has improved the sound quality and sound leakage reduction, and can connect two Bluetooth devices at the same time.Duo to its ergonomic ear-sticking design,it has high wearing comfort. There are two sizes, 16.2cm and 18.7cm. Girls suggest the mini version.
4.Earsopen PEACE wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones
Reason for recommendation:
Earsopen PEACE is a wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phone with a novel wearing method. It adopts a clip-on design, which has a certain stability in wearing. It can be worn only by clipping it in the ear canal, and it also supports single ear wearing. IPX7 waterproof performance can also be easily competent for waterproof and sweat-proof work. With the charging case, it can complete the daily wear and use of electricity for nearly a week. The only disadvantage is that the price is slightly higher and the charging case area is a bit bulky. If you carry it in a sports field, you will feel a certain weight, and you will feel uncomfortable if you wear it for a long time.
5.Haylou PurFree wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones
Reason for recommendation:
Haylou PurFree uses Qualcomm QCC3044 chip to make Bluetooth connection more stable, and also supports dual-device connection. And it also has microphone call noise reduction technology to make people’s voices clearer. It is very light and is an open headphone, which also makes it have a better wearing experience. It is IP67 waterproof grade, and general sweat does not affect its work. It just cannot be used in swimming. It doesn’t have built-in memory and can’t be used when there’s no cell phone signal, which is perhaps one of its drawbacks.
Among the above five Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones, Wissonly and Philip are my favorites. Their products are of excellent quality. In contrast, if I have to choose one, I will choose Wissonly because it has better cost performance.
