How is the Panasonic HGS10-W Open Ear Bone Conduction Headphones different from the other headphones in the market? I heard that these headphones are worn next to ear so that sound is carried into your head through the cheek bones. Is it really true and how is it beneficial for the user? Can anyone throw light on this headphone?
This is a different kind of headphones because it is not placed directly in your ears. When placed, it sends vibrations via your upper cheek bones into your ears. This lets you hear your surroundings while listening to music. With this setup, it is useful to allow you to hear anything while listening to music like a phone ring or to keep you aware of traffic while you are jogging.
The headphones are sweat and water resistant which means the device can be splashed with water and will not have a bad effect on the headphones. Bone conduction audio carefully sends sound vibrations via the upper cheek bones of the face into the inner ear’s cochlea. Because it is not placed over or in your ears, it is placed along the upper cheek bone exactly in front of the ears.
