What Is Bone Conduction Open-Ear Headphones?
The rise in popularity of open-ear headphones has demonstrated how important it is for consumers to be environmentally conscious.

It is also incredibly lightweight and ergonomically designed for a snug, comfortable fit.
What Is Air Conduction Open-Ear Headphones?
Air conduction is the process by which sound waves travel through the air and are picked up by the ears. When sound waves enter the ear canal, they cause the eardrum to vibrate. The vibrations then travel through the middle ear bones to the cochlea in the inner ear. Unlike traditional air-conduction headphones, which isolate or enclose the ears, open-ear headphones leave the ear canal unblocked. Open-ear headphones are intended to provide a more natural listening experience while also increasing your awareness of your surroundings.
