Today I received an Aftershokz Aeropex.
They are bone conduction headphones. No speakers, they convey sound as vibrations through your cheek bones.
The sound quality is actually really good, although the bass isn't very strong (but better than expected. I've been listening to music today at my pc with them and it's fine.
Interestingly (more like "will this stupid idea work?") I can wear them under my Corsair HS70 headphones and listen to both at once. 🙂
The main point of bone conduction headphones is that you can hear audio while still hearing real life around you, so they are good for cycling or running (hear traffic). I'm going back to work on campus in 2 weeks (after 1 year of work from home) so I thought I'd try them for music in the staff room while still able to hear if people nearby want to ask me something.
Looks great, congrats - might try something similar later!
Also the Sony headphones I showed earlier have the big advantage as being open-ear headphones, so you can hear your surroundings - and they can hear you 😉 Newer similar surround-sound headphones from Sony have been closed-ear.
Also important with open-ear in the summer where closed-ear headphones can be quite hot, and with children/family closed-ear headphones may be too isolating.
