Bone conduction headphones work by using the principle of bone conduction to transmit sound. Instead of sending audio through the air into your ear canal, these headphones rest on your cheekbones and convert sound into vibrations. These vibrations travel through the bones of your skull directly to the inner ear, bypassing the eardrum.
This means your ears remain open, allowing you to hear surrounding sounds while listening to music. The inner ear, particularly the cochlea, processes these vibrations just like traditional sound waves. This technology is useful for people with certain types of hearing loss and is popular for outdoor activities, as it improves safety and awareness.
