What Are True Wireless Bluetooth Bone Conduction Headset Phones and How Do They Work?
Apr 07,2023 | David
Wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones are a new type of headphones, because they have many advantages that traditional headphones cannot match, so they are gaining the favor of a large number of users. But at the same time, some merchants sell fake wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones in pursuit of short-term profits. So what are real wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones? How should we tell the difference? let me tell you in the article.
What Are True wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones?
A wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phone is a type of headphone that uses human bones as a sound transmission medium. They are generally ear-mounted, and the vibration unit is attached to the temple, and the vibration is transmitted to the inner ear through the skull, so that people can hear the sound. The fake wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones are actually a kind of air conduction headphones that look like wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones. They rely on two external speakers attached to the temples to produce sound, and then transmit the sound to the eardrum through the air, causing the eardrum to vibrate, and then to the eardrum, and the inner ear.
For real wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones, their body has no openings and is generally an integrated body with a relatively high waterproof level. Since they rely on bone conduction sound, you can try to plug your ears after wearing them, and you will find that the sound of the real wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones will be louder, while the sound of the fake ones will be significantly smaller. This is the easiest and most convenient way to distinguish between real and fake wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones.
How do wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones work?
Wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones are an application of bone conduction technology in the field of headphones. It transmits sound through the skull, without going through the external auditory canal and eardrum, which is very good for the ear.
The sound transmission path of wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones is “sound wave-skull-bone labyrinth-inner ear lymph fluid-spiral organ-auditory nerve-cerebral cortex auditory center”.
Common headphones are air-conduction headphones, which need to conduct sound through the air in the ear canal. Its sound transmission path is “air-external auditory canal-tympanic membrane-ear ossicles-internal auditory canal-cochlea-auditory nerve”.
There is a little experiment to better understand how bone conduction works. First, plug the ears with two cotton balls, take a tuning fork, and tap it several times with a rubber hammer to make the tuning fork vibrate. It vibrates so softly that your ears can’t hear it at this time. But pressing the end of the tuning fork handle against your frontal bone, skull bone, and cheekbone can make you hear the vibration of the tuning fork. Once the tuning fork handle is out of contact, the sound disappears immediately. This is because the sound of the tuning fork is transmitted through the bones of the human body.
There are more and more brands of Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones in the market, so how to choose the right one?My suggestion is to pay attention to the two key points: sound quality and sound leakage reduction, and choose the brands with better technology accumulation.Here are five best bone conduction headphones for you all.
1, Wissonly Hi Runner wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones
Reason for recommendation:
As a veteran electronic product fans, I can responsibly tell you that the Wissonly wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones are true bone conduction, which can protect hearing, so they are recommended by many otologists.
At the same time, Wissonly Hi Runner is also very good in terms of sound quality. It uses a 360 surround vibration unit, which can increase the vibration area by 35% compared with traditional wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones.They reduces the loss during bone conduction sound transmission, and which makes the sound more powerful.
Wissonly Hi Runner wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones are made of memory titanium that can be self-adjusted, which can ensure that the headphones have a good wearing experience and take into account more users.
In terms of functionality, as the flagship model of Wissonly Brand, Wissonly Hi Runner supports IPX8 waterproof level which is higher than the industry standard, and it can be worn in diving. It is equipped with 32G body memory, as well as the latest Bluetooth 5.0. Its product performance and experience have been comprehensively improved, truly making wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones suitable for more life scenarios.
2.Philips A6606 wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones
Reason for recommendation:
With IPX7 waterproof property, Philips A6606 can be soaked in water for a short time, and has good waterproof performance. At the same time, surprisingly, LED night run lamps are arranged at both ends of the fuselage, which can light up the rear road at night, thus ensuring its own safety factor. The unique bone conduction vibrator makes its sound quality good, and the double shrapnel structure can reduce the distortion. However, when playing high-frequency sound, there will be obvious vibration. If you can accept the vibration of medium and high frequency, it is also good.
3.AfterShokz OPENRUN PRO wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones
Reason for recommendation:
All-weather sports companionship. The body weight of Afershokz Openrun Pro headphones is only 26 grams, but it has up to 8 hours of long battery life. It supports IP67 super standard waterproof grade, is not afraid of sweat and rain, and not afraid of the challenges brought by bad weather. It is a trustworthy all-weather running headphones. However, it is not professional-grade waterproof after all, and it is not suitable for swimming and diving, so you must consider it clearly before purchasing.
4.earsopen SS900 wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones
Reason for recommendation:
Different from other wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones, this earsopenSS900 is mainly worn by pinching ears, which requires both hands to finish wearing. Its’ IPX7' s waterproof grade can achieve the effect of short-time immersion under water, and it is easy to face the daily sweat. The 8g single side headphone body can play a comfortable and non-inductive role in the whole wearing process, but it will be a little uncomfortable when worn for a long time due to the wearing way of clip ears.
5.Haylou PurFree wireless Bluetooth bone conduction headset phones
Reason for recommendation:
Good experience, its weight is very light, weighing only 28g, and its open ear design is very safe and hygienic, which can protect the health of the ear canal . The silica gel material of its body is very comfortable, and it can be bent at will. The frame of aviation grade memory titanium wire will not be deformed, and make its service life very long.
Its IP67 waterproof grade, except when you sweat during exercise, you are not afraid of damage when you rush with water. And the charging interface adopts water-proof magnetic charging, so there’s no need to worry about water coming into the charging interface. It should be noted that it can’t be used in swimming.
There will be a little sound leakage, which may be one of its shortcomings.
Consider three key points of sound quality, sound leakage reduction and comfort,wissonly and Aftershokz are the best of the above five bone conduction headphones. If product parameters and cost performance are considered, Wissonly performs better.
