We’ve shown you bone-conduction headphones of different shapes and sizes before, but these new Audio Bone 1.0 ones may be the first genuinely stylish-looking ones (though you’ll undoubtedly get people asking why you’ve not got your earphones in your ears.) They’re a development on the version we showed you ages ago, hanging around behind your head, and making contact with the bone just in front of your ear: hence you get your MP3 sounds directly delivered to your inner ear without blocking the sounds around you. They’ve got a frequency response range of 50-12,000Hz, and come in different colours for $US189.00. [Product page]

We put these audio bones headphones through a few paces before we added them to our website. We have a vid showing some of the tests of bouncing and water and head shaking to see if the sound still comes through. Turns out these headphones are pretty cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7B4x9LiEss

These are truly an awesome development and I hope to buy a set soon.I have suffered profound hearing loss and have worn hearing aids for the last twelve years,but all the bone conductivity hearing tests I’ve had show I have good bone conductivity.As a musician/guitarist I cannot tell you how important it is to me to be able to hear sound in a pure and true stereophonic state.These headphones seem to be the answer to my prayers.Thank you.
