In the past two years, I have a new toy, which is wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones. I use them to listen to music while running and it feels good. I often share opinions about headphone products and music with my friends in the hardware community and sports community. Nowadays, many people can’t figure out the difference between wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones and air conduction headphones. Some people even listen to the propaganda of unscrupulous merchants and mistakenly say that air conduction headphones are an upgraded version of wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones, which really makes me speechless.

The difference between wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones and air conduction headphones

Literally understood, their main difference is in the way of sound transmission. wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones use the skull as a medium to transmit sound, while air conduction headphones use air as a medium to transmit sound. The reason why some people mistakenly think that air conduction headphones are an upgraded version of wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones is mainly because some air conduction headphones are cleverly designed to look the same as wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones and wear the same way. Once the manufacturers of air conduction headphones carry out large-scale publicity, consumers will be misunderstood.

Air-conduction headphones work with the sound-generating unit attached to the temple, but they are actually two speakers. They rely on the speakers to emit sound waves, which transmit the sound to the ear through the air, and the sound waves vibrate the eardrum to produce hearing. In fact, most traditional headphones are also air conduction headphones. Therefore, this kind of headphone is actually a kind of traditional headphone, you must not be fooled.

How safe are wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones?

wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones are a new application of mature technology, and their safety has early been proved.

First of all, wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones have very little damage to hearing. We all know that hearing damage generally occurs in the eardrum and inner ear. When we wearing them,sound do not need to pass through the eardrum, so they do not damage the eardrum. Because the oscillation of them is relatively moderate, the headphones also have less effect on auditory hair cells in the inner ear. Moreover, the electromagnetic waves of them are extremely weak that they will not cause harm to human brain nerves and hearing nerves.

Secondly, wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones can still keep you paying attention to ambient sounds when worn, which can help you to avoid many accidents. They are not worn into the ear, Whether in running, cycling, walking or commuting, etc., wearing the headphones to listen to songs, you can still hear the surrounding sounds, and can communicate with others normally, so as to avoid the danger caused by not hearing external sounds.

In addition, wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones that do not need to be plugged in the ear canal when worn, are very helpful for maintaining ear hygiene. They do not block the ear canal due to sweating for a long time to deposit a large number of bacteria, and so also reduce ear inflammation and other conditions.

Of course, The safety of any product is relative, and 100% safe products do not exist, and so are wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones. Under the premise of long-term continuous use at high volume, they still have the risk of hearing damage. This point also needs to be paid attention to when they are used. It should be noted that any headphones will have hearing damage problems when used at high volume for a long time. wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones are still the safest and healthiest of all headphones.

Bone conduction earphones are safer than common headphones,and they have a lot of advantages, They are your best sports headphones.So how can you find your most suitable one of them? Let me recommend a few headphones.

1, Wissonly Hi Runner wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones

Reason for recommendation:

As a veteran electronic product fans, I can responsibly tell you that the Wissonly wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones 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 earphones.They reduces the loss during bone conduction sound transmission, and which makes the sound more powerful.

Wissonly Hi Runner wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones 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 earphones suitable for more life scenarios.

2. Philips A8606 wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones

Reason for recommendation:

A8606 are ear-clip-on headphones, so that they fit closely with the auricle during wearing. Because it is made of titanium alloy skeleton and wrapped with skin-friendly silica gel, it can not only keep the shape stable, but also cause no pressure on ears. It is easy to wear and can be used for a long time. This earphone adopts IPX5 waterproof design, so ordinary splashing water is not afraid, and sweat is a cinch. The disadvantage is that the sound quality needs to be improved, and there is a little missing sound.

3.AfterShokz OPENRUN PRO wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones

Reason for recommendation:

Openrun Pro wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones with ergonomic ear-sticking design, which is worn by hanging ears, it have a light body, so they are comfortable and stable to wear. It supports IP67 waterproof, adopts magnetic contact to avoid water seepage for charging, and in order to be waterproof, it is coated with antioxidant nano-coating to isolate water vapor on the chip. Normal sweat and ordinary washing are no problem, even in the rain for a short time is ok, but it can’t be used for swimming.

4.Earsopen peace tw-1 wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones

Reason for recommendation:

It can’t be worn in the ear, and it won’t cause ear discomfort or damage eardrums for a long time. The wearing method of ear clip is different from other wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones. This kind of wearing method is a little troublesome and can’t be worn with one hand, but it can make the headphones have good stability and won’t fall off during intense exercise. Its sound quality anti- sound-leakage are very well, and it can’t be heard within normal social distance.

Its disadvantage is that the ear-clip wearing method may make you feel uncomfortable after a long time.

5. Moing DG08 wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones

Reason for recommendation:

The DG08 wireless Bluetooth bone conduction earphones come with 8GB of memory, which can independently store about 2,000 songs. The battery life reaches 10 hours, and you don’t have to worry about battery problems for a full day of outdoor sports. Their non-in-ear design makes them more comfortable for the ears. They support life-grade waterproofing and are not afraid of sweat. It’s just that there are still some problems in sound quality and sound leakage, and if the budget is not sufficient, you can consider this one.

Among the five bone conduction earphones recommended above, my favorite are Wissonly and Aftershokz. The core teams of these two brands have more than 10 years of technical experience in this field. The sound quality, sound attenuation and comfort of their products are very good. Compared with the two brands, Wissonly has a higher cost performance
