Air Conduction Open Ear Headphones,3.5MM Wired Headphones and Built-in Microphone Suitable for Outdoor Activitie

My review will tell you everything you need to know about this product from my personal experience communicated as genuine and straightforward as possible.It is imitation bone conduction and you're paying $20 (at the time of this post) so what can you expect? Well I'll tell you.If you're buying this to listen to music then don't. You're wasting your money. If you're buying this to protect your ears in the long-run and have very clear audio signals come through this is everything you could ask for. I'd recommend this to anyone who is police, fire rescue, security, host, honestly any work related radio that requires a non-bluetooth 3.5mm radio jack for work. My motivation to buy this was every day my job pushes out really high alert frequencies that are extremely loud and will undoubtedly lead to hearing loss and I want to avoid that as a future audio engineer. Another reason I chose these is in my current profession (security) I need to be aware of everything going on around me but I still need to be able to hear all the radio traffic. These babies allow me to do just that, and it also auto balances very high transmission signals to level out with the rest of the sounds which is super nice compression.How it works in comparison to the real deal. These (imitation bone conduction headphones) have little speakers that push audio frequencies up from a speaker right below the outer ear shaving past the ear but not directly into the ear. It does not go into the ear so it doesn't block external sounds or lock the frequencies into your ear. Most radios are mono, not stereo, so the signals will only transmit through one side. If you need situational awareness this is honestly a good thing. If you plug it in to PC, phone, etc, you'll get stereo. You can listen to music but I'd recommend a different pair of headphones for that.Real bone conduction headphones can even work better than hearing aids, and allows people to hear even more bands of frequencies on the spectrum that they usually could never hear at all. It's for those who have hearing damage at (all levels minus deaf) it really is a miracle tech. How it works is it sends the audio frequencies direct through the muscle tissue, skin, and bones using direct vibrations to make it all the way to the inner ear where all of the audio signal can be received and processed much better than any ear piece or hearing aid could do. The good ones are not cheap.Again, don't expect this to make up for your hearing loss, this is an imitation device that could do so much better if it marketed more properly using the strengths in this comment and a bit more honesty in the description/title.If you have a "wide" head, these might be a bit to tight and will not fit properly. If you're head isn't super big you'll be just fine basically. I'd say it would fit most men, women, they, them, so on, so forth, snug.Summary: Using it for radio in the work force I highly recommend you buy this product. If you just want to protect your ears with basic headphones these will do that but don't expect it to sounds amazing, or boosted, they're just clear and audible. If you're looking at this to make up for hearing loss as an alternative this is probably not for you, and if you're looking at this for music (it's not terrible) but this is not the way to go. I would recommend more "name brands" that are marketed specifically as music headphones.I hope I've cleared the confusion going over this product and addressed any questions or uncertainties in the purchase. I hope you have a great day!

NOT BONE CONDUCTION!!! They work alright for what they are. They are lightweight. The sound is a bit too tinny. I do not recommend. Once again, NOT BONE CONDUCTION!!!!

There's a LOT of negative reviews on these that say that they aren't bone conduction speakers. My daughter proves otherwise. She has 100% conduction hearing loss in one ear and 85% loss in the other. Her range of hearing is extremely small.The instant she plugged it into her phone and played a song, she lit up like a Christmas tree. "Oh my God!!! I can hear it!" I then had her put ear plugs in both ears and try. Exactly the same volume, range of frequencies, loudness, etc. I had her do a hearing test app while wearing a pair of Sony Bluetooth over-ear headphones, then another test with these headphones. Not a single person would think that the two results are from the same person, taken minutes apart.The bone conduction headsets are a life-changer for her, and no one can tell me anything different.

If I had better hearing, these would be okay. but not as good hearing quality to me as conventional ones.

They don’t really sit how they are supposed to (I have a pair of real ones). They work well enough for me to plug into my laptop and hear while in virtual meetings.I feel like I got a used pair, as the box was open and the headphones were just thrown in the plastic tray. The controls on the cord do not do anything to control the volume, etc. I will be returning.

For the sound quality, I would give the head phones a 4 out of 5, but that might be because i listened to my music way to loud when i was younger. But the fit is great, they're very lite weight and comfortable, I wear they all day for work for phone calls and for the price, I think they are an exceptional value. I prefer them corded so I don't have to worry about batteries dieing, though if you were using them for working out, you may was a cordless option. Long-term, if they hold up for a year, I'll definitely buy again, so we will see.

My son has a large head and these end up on his ears instead of in front, he still uses them, but would be nice if these were made adjustable

These are great that they get good, solid sound without overpowering your eardrums, and still allowing you to hear what's going on around you. Having the 1/8" is helpful for devices that aren't bluetooth. The primary application I got it for is for a deaf person to use our Church hearing impaired system who needs more than just amplification.
