written in front
Nowadays, headphones have almost become our daily necessities. They are needed for video meetings, using Tik Tok on and off work, and listening to music while exercising. Especially now, there are more and more types of headphones, such as wired, wireless, in-ear, There are many options for neck-mounted, bone conduction, etc., especially wireless headphones, which are nothing new to mass consumers. But the more varieties there are, the harder it is to choose. Different headphones have different advantages and disadvantages. Especially for me who has difficulty choosing and , it is even more difficult. I have tried many headphones before, but wired ones are too troublesome to consider. If you use wireless in-ear headphones for a long time, you will get earaches and headaches, so this time I want to choose a bone conduction Bluetooth headset .
1. bone conduction headphones advantages and disadvantages
The advantage of bone conduction Bluetooth headphones is that they are comfortable to wear. The plastic contours of the headphones surround the head and are very stable and suitable for various sports. Some bone conduction headphones also have a great advantage, that is, they have built-in storage function, so you can put audio directly into them and listen to songs without using a mobile phone. In addition, it has good waterproof performance, so many swimmers like to use bone conduction headphones. Bone conduction Bluetooth headsets also have shortcomings. Due to the fact that they are not in contact with the ear canal and sound is transmitted through solid materials, the sound quality will be poor, with more or less sound leakage, and the three-dimensional sense of listening to music will be reduced.
2. Reasons for choosing bone conduction headphones
In fact, it mainly depends on personal needs. For me, the main reasons for buying bone conduction headphones are as follows:
1. I am a person whose ears hurt after wearing in-ear headphones for about 30 minutes;
2 , I don’t want to waste the more than 20 minutes of commuting to get off work, and I also want to make full use of the time on the road to listen to books and study. However, wearing in-ear headphones does have safety risks. You cannot hear outside sounds. Bone conduction headphones still maintain the perception of outside sounds when in use, and they can also be worn while riding.
3. I have a need for exercise. Although I am not a sports expert, I still like to exercise. Especially when exercising outdoors, wearing bone conduction headphones can better maintain communication with the surrounding environment and is safer. In addition, it is more hygienic, especially when you sweat during exercise. In-ear headphones may cause bacteria to grow in the ear canal due to sweat, which may cause some inflammation.
3. How to choose bone conduction headphones
Bone conduction headphones are a very niche type in the field of headphones. Satisfy specific people, specific scenarios, especially sports. Therefore, the positioning of bone conduction headphones is " sports headphones ". A very important point for sports headphones is wearing comfort. Whether it is comfortable to wear, whether the fit is good enough, whether the quality is suitable enough, etc. When choosing bone conduction headphones, you mainly look at the following four aspects: wear, sound leakage, sound quality, and appearance.
1. Wearing: I think wearing comfort is a very important criterion when purchasing headphones. Sound leakage and sound quality are both relatively subjective aspects. After all, whether the sound quality is good or not is different for everyone and there is no way to judge. However, wearing comfort will affect the overall experience.
2. Sound leakage: Sound leakage is a point that bone conduction headphones have always been criticized for. Of course, the sound leakage situation has been greatly improved now. When people complain, there is demand. Many brands invest heavily in sound leakage. Therefore, with the development of technology, the current sound leakage of bone conduction headphones has made relatively good progress.
3. Sound quality: Bone conduction headphones, due to their own limitations, do not perform very well in bass. Nowadays, the sound quality of some big brands of bone conduction headphones has been greatly improved, and they are still worth it. For a "sports headset", wearing comfort and safety are far more important than sound quality.
4. Appearance: Headphones are accessories, and appearance may be more important to some people than other factors. Which one looks better or worse is purely a matter of personal preference.
Finally, through comprehensive comparison, I chose the Nanka bone conduction Runner Pro 3 wireless sports hanging neck Bluetooth headset. Nanka is a relatively well-known headphone brand in China. It features a sporty anti-flip design, long battery life, built-in 16G memory, and is lightweight, compact and does not press against your ears. Let me share with you my experience using it!
