If you’re in the market for a new pair of headphones to listen to all of your tunes, might I suggest the Audio Bone 1.0 Headphones? They’re safer on your eardrums and provide top-quality audio you’re sure to enjoy.
Released by GameChanger, the Audio Bone 1.0 Headphones use bone conduction technology in order to channel audio in a safer, clearer manner. They bypass the eardrum, so listening to loud music won’t produce the same sort of negative effects as a standard set of headphones.
You can get a pair in black, orange and blue. They retail for about $190, so they’re definitely a bit of an investment. But if you care about your ear health and keeping your hearing, these might be the best option for you. Oh, and they’re waterproof, too.

I saw these online, too, and wanted to test them out for myself. They really do work, and what’s the coolest is that my mother in law has hearing loss in one ear due to a old ear drum rupture, she can’t hear music in that ear with regular headphones, but we let her try the Audio Bone Headphones last night and she was blown away. It’s the first time she’s heard things in stereo in quite a while.
I will be taking them into the office this week. Since you can hear around you while listening to music, I can’t imagine the boss will say no. Wish me luck, and thanks for the tip on the Audio Bones.
