Honestly, I hate in-the-ear headphones and have only been able to use over-the-ear headphones until my husband told me about bone-conduction headphones. I was intrigued and wanted to try them out. Luckily I was sent a pair of bone-conduction headphones by Wigfar to review and I am in love.
I like over-the-ear headphones but they always leave my delicate ears in pain which I think is from the headphones pushing on my ears on top of where my glasses are. With these bone-conduction headphones, I don't deal with this. They run behind the back of my head so I can comfortably wear my hair up or down it doesn't matter. They are lightweight, pair up easily by Bluetooth and sit gently on the Tragus by your ear. I can also wear my glasses with them and haven't had any pain. That was the big seller for me.
Now for a few reasons why I love these. A few of my girls are runners and I was constantly telling them to leave one headphone out of their ear so they could hear their surroundings while they were running so they would be more aware of nearby danger. With that being said depending on how loud you have the volume set others may hear what you are listening to but I find that I can have these set at a much lower volume because the sound is so clear. Again when my children have headphones on in the house, they often can not hear when someone is calling them so these are able to be used and you are still aware of everything around you.
These would be great for exercise, relaxing, while cleaning your home, watching your favorite show, or even taking phone calls.
If you are looking for noise-canceling headphones these are not for you. These are headphones where you can listen to your favorite music, podcasts, etc, and not have to worry about missing out on anything that is going on around you. Check them out below.
