When the mighty Marines are training or performing tasks, in addition to the necessary individual equipment, they will wear a communication device on the pinna, which is a professional-grade military wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones. This equipment plays a very important role in the battlefield environment. They help soldiers to maintain awareness of the sound of the battlefield environment at all times, without missing the command of the commander or the information of comrades in arms. Military wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones are generally more expensive, but the same technology is gradually being used in the civilian field. Engineers designed everyday wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones that quickly became popular in just 2 years.

So what are wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones?

wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones, as the name suggests, are headphones that use human bones to transmit sound. The sound transmission method of this headphone is very special. It no longer needs to transmit sound through air and eardrum, but directly transmits sound to the auditory nerve of the inner ear through human bones, so that the auditory nerve can perceive the sound.

The way wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones transmit sound eliminates the need for the headphones to be plugged into the ear, or to completely cover the entire ear. Therefore, there can be a new attempt in the way of wearing them, that is, the wearing method of the ear-hanging type that does not need to be in the ear. This also makes wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones more comfortable to wear and better for the health of the ears.

Pros and Cons of wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones

The main pros of wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones is that they do not need to transmit sound waves through the ear, but through the ear bone, which allows you to wear them, the ear will be completely exposed, which brings the following obvious pros:

First pros of wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones: protect hearing

Compared with the air conduction method of traditional headphones, bone conduction saves many steps of sound wave transmission, and the sound does not need to pass through the ear, so it will not stimulate the eardrum. This is a great way to protect your eardrums and ensure your hearing is not damaged.

second pros of wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones: comfortable to wear and clean and hygienic

Wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones do not need to block the ears when worn, so that the ears can be completely opened, which makes the ears refreshed just like not wearing headphones. It won’t let you have ear pain and stuffy ears caused by long-term wearing, making you more comfortable when wearing them.

At the same time, it is precise because the ear does not need to be blocked when wearing it, sweat and other bacteria will not enter the ear with the headphone, so it is suitable for patients with diseases such as otitis media.

Wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones have the advantages of cleanliness, sanitation, and bacteria isolation, which cannot be possessed by traditional headphones no matter how they are improved.

Third pros of wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones: suitable for sports

Wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones are great for exercising. I bought this type of headphones precisely because of my sports needs. Yes, I can’t stand exercising without music. When using them, the ears are open, and you can also perceive the surrounding environment well when you are exercising. They are worn with hanging ears, which are comfortable to wear and not easy to fall off, and can also prevent sweating and stuffy ears. They were born for movement.

At the same time, some wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones have built-in memory, so they can be used as MP3 players without a mobile phone, which is very practical for people who like to listen to music during exercise.

In addition, most wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones have good waterproof performance, so they can be used with confidence when swimming. And because it is bone conduction, it does not need to pass through the air, so the sound received underwater is the same as the sound received on the ground.

Of course, like a coin has two sides, wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones have advantages and some disadvantages, you can take a look at the introduction below.

Cons of wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones:

1. Sound quality:

Because wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones transmit sound through bones, the sound quality transmission loss is large during the process, so the sound quality will be worse than traditional noise-canceling headphones.

2. Sound leakage:

Because the sound transmission of wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones is carried out through vibration of the vibrator, and some sound is transmitted through the vibration of the air, so sound leakage cannot be completely avoided. But some headphones brand invest more research and design in preventing sound leakage, so most of the sound leakage problems are solved. For example, the Wissonly Hi runner wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones I own are excellent representatives among them.

The pros and cons of wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones are determined by their working principles.

The working principle of wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones

Wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones are headphones based on bone conduction technology. Bone conduction is a sound conduction method with bones as the medium. It converts sound into mechanical vibrations of different frequencies, and transmits sound waves through the human skull, bone labyrinth, inner ear lymph fluid, spiral organ, and auditory center.

Compared with the classic sound conduction method of transmitting sound waves through the eardrum, bone conduction saves many steps of sound wave transmission, and it can achieve clear sound reproduction in noisy environments, and sound waves will not affect others due to diffusion in the air.

In fact, the principle of bone conduction is not mysterious. Each of us has experienced it in our daily life. When you eat, you hear the sound of the food being bitten off, but others cannot hear this sound, because the vibration of the food is transmitted to your auditory central nerve through the teeth and bones, and finally the sound is produced. This is an example of classic bone conduction. You can also knock your teeth now. Did you hear the sound? This is the sound passing through your skull to the auditory nerve, which also uses the principle of bone conduction.

From the introduction above, you may be interested in wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headphones. However, how to choose the headphones still needs careful consideration. Sound quality, sound leakage reduction and security are the three main issues you must consider. Next, I will recommend several mature bone conduction brands, hoping to help you select suitable headphones.
