A brief introduction to bone conduction headphones

What exactly are bone conduction headphones? As the name suggests, they are headphones with bone conduction technology. They vibrate bones through vibrators that come into contact with the periphery of the ear, the vibrations are perceived as sound. That is to say, arguably their greatest feature is that they don't block the ear canal. This principle of sound is different from the general headphones inserted into the ear canal. Traditional headphones transmit vibrations through the air and cause the eardrum to vibrate, allowing the ear to perceive sound.
Bone conduction headphones do not block the ear canal, which brings many benefits. The first benefit is that the wearer can hear outside sounds while wearing the headphone. For example, using a bone conduction headphone while working in the office, when a colleague talks to you, you can respond as usual, so there is no problem blocking communication. In the days of telecommuting at home, when you wear bone conduction headphones to communicate with colleagues or customers, you can also accurately notice if there are visitors such as delivery people. More importantly, when you wear bone conduction headphones to exercise outdoors, these kinds of headphones that don't go into your ears can help you notice the sound of the surrounding environment and provide you with higher security.

A second benefit is keeping your ears healthy. Many people may have heard that wearing headphones inserted into the ear canal for a long time can cause inflammation inside the ear canal and even lead to hearing loss. However, bone conduction headphones are all about keeping your ears open. Even if you often wear them for long online meetings, or listen to music while working, they will not damage your hearing health. They also keep the ear canal clean for a long time, ensuring a clean and hygienic ear canal. For this reason, many ear doctors recommend bone conduction headphones.

If you have relatively high requirements for the sound quality and performance of headphones and want to pursue a comfortable experience during a day of sports, work, and exercise, I recommend you to use Wissonly's flagship model "Wissonly Hi Runner" (direct sale price: USD99.99).

Due to the special technical principle of bone conduction headphones, it is more difficult to improve the sound quality. For this reason, Wissonly Hi Runner subverts the traditional sound quality improvement scheme. They use a breakthrough large-size bone conduction vibrator, and through structural optimization, the effective vibration area of the vibrator is increased by 35%, thereby improving the sound efficiency of the vibrator and making the sound more shocking and powerful. Moreover, they also optimize the transmission direction of the sound, reduce sound loss during the sound transmission process, and make the sound more concentrated.
Their efforts have paid off. The Wissonly Hi Runners are pretty much the best sound quality bone conduction headphones I've come across. During music playback, they are rich in performance from rich bass to delicate treble, and the resolution of each sound is particularly amazing. Sounds like the soft rubbing of a stringed instrument or even a singer's whisper can be vividly reproduced.

The sound leakage proof treatment of Wissonly Hi Runner is also very good. In order to solve the sound leakage problem of bone conduction headphones, they have made comprehensive improvements in the vibrator, body design, and software optimization of the headphones. After laboratory tests, the sound leakage problem can be reduced by 90%. After rigorous actual use tests, at a distance of 1.5cm, the audio volume reached 70% and the sound of bone conduction headphones was not heard. This neither disturbs others, but also protects your privacy very well.
The Wissonly Hi Runner frame is made of titanium, and they can self-adjust the fitting position, which can be applied to different sizes of head circumference and improve the stability of wearing. They are very light, less than 30g, and there is no sense of weight when worn, and you don't even feel that you are wearing them. Their surface material is soft and skin-friendly silicone material, which feels as smooth as a baby's skin, and will not be uncomfortable even if worn for a long time. These features ensure that Wissonly headphones have a good wearing experience so that more people can wear them.

FAQs About Bone Conduction Headphones

1. Are bone conduction headphones safer than traditional headphones?


Traditional headphones are usually in-ear headphones, while bone conduction headphones are open headphones. Bone conduction headphones are safer and healthier than traditional in-ear headphones.
Because bone conduction headphones usually transmit sound to the inner ear through the vibration of the skull, and since the transmission route does not pass through the eardrum, the damage to the eardrum is very small. Moreover, wearing it for a long time will not cause pinna pain, and it is more hygienic to use.
Traditional in-ear headphones are more harmful than bone conduction headphones, mainly because in-ear headphones are relatively close to the eardrum, so they will cause certain irritation to the nerves or eardrums when transmitting sound. If you wear it for a long time, it may cause soreness in the ear canal and damage to the tympanic membrane, which may lead to hearing loss in severe cases.

2. Is the sound quality of bone conduction headphones better than traditional headphones?


The sound quality of bone conduction headphones is slightly worse than that of traditional noise -canceling headphones, but the sound quality is completely fine for normal listening to music.

3. Why other people can hear the sound of bone conduction headphones?


Bone conduction headphones have sound leakage problems, which are determined by the way they work. They generate mechanical vibration through the sounding unit, and the sound is transmitted by the bone. When the headphone is working, the shell of the headphone will be vibrated together by the sounding unit, and the shell will then vibrate the surrounding air, resulting in sound leakage.
Of course, some excellent bone conduction headphones have made more efforts to prevent sound leakage in recent years. For example, Wissonly will use anti-phase sound waves to offset the sound waves of sound leakage or reduce vibration through an integrated body design without holes. The air vibration induced by the driver reduces sound leakage.

4. Are all bone-conduction headphones very waterproof?


Not all bone conduction headphones are waterproof, it depends on the waterproof level of each product. Some headphones have a waterproof rating of only IPX4, which can only support ordinary dustproof and waterproof and cannot be washed or used while swimming. Only headphones with a waterproof rating of IPX8 can be used while swimming or diving.

5. Is it illegal to wear bone conduction headphones while cycling?


It is not illegal to wear bone conduction headphones while cycling in the UK, most states in the US, and most countries in Europe. It depends on the laws of the local government. Of course, even if it is not illegal, you must pay great attention to safety issues.

6. How to wear bone conduction headphones?


There are two ways to wear bone conduction headphones. One is the ear-hanging style. You only need to hang the headphones on the auricle and put the sound unit close to the temple to complete the wearing. The other is the clip-ear wearing method, which clips the headphones to the ears like wearing earrings.
Ear-hanging bone conduction headphones have better sound quality and higher wearing stability, so they have also become mainstream in the market.
