Bone conduction is a method of sound conduction, which converts sound into mechanical vibrations of different frequencies, and transmits sound waves through the human skull, bone labyrinth, inner ear lymph, auger, and auditory center.
1. Advantages of bone conduction headphones
(1) Health
Bone conduction uses the principle of bone vibration to transmit sound directly through the skull to the ear nerve inside the ear. Because no eardrum is required, hearing is not affected.
(2) Safety
Surrounding sounds can still be heard while wearing bone conduction headphones, and general conversations can be carried out, which also avoids the danger of accidents caused by inability to hear the outside world.
(3) Hygiene
Because bone conduction earphones do not need to be placed in human ears, it is very helpful to maintain the hygiene inside the ear; at the same time, the surface of bone conduction earphones is smooth and easy to clean. Traditional in-ear headphones tend to deposit bacteria.
(4) Comfortable
The bone conduction headphones are fixed on the head and will not fall off during exercise, which will not affect the good mood of running and listening to songs.
2. Disadvantages of bone conduction headphones
(1) Sound quality
Because it is transmitted through the skin and skull bones to the ossicles of the ear, the degree of separation and reduction of music is worse than that of earphones. However, everyone's feelings and preferences for music are different, and you can only know how the earphones sound when you actually listen to them. But for sports earphones, in addition to sound quality, it is more important to be able to fit the ear stably, not to shift or fall off due to shaking, and not to bring extra heavy burden to the head and ears.
(2) Sound leakage
Bone conduction earphones are wireless bluetooth earphones, the bone conduction earphones can clearly transmit the sound to the inner ear through the skull, but for wearing comfort, the bone conduction earphones will not be close to the skull, so part of the energy will cause air vibration and cause sound leakage. Therefore, it is recommended that friends who like outdoor running and listening to songs try bone conduction headphones.
