'Orange Amplification' has launched the 'O Bones,' a pair of wireless headphones that deliver the sound they produce through bone vibration rather than air vibration. The headphones use bone conduction technology that gently shakes the wearer's facial bones to create a clean range of frequencies from the highest pitches to the deepest bass-heavy sounds.
The O Bones are equipped with soft cushions to ensure they sit comfortably on the face of the wearer. One key advantage to bone vibration-based music rather than airwaves based sound is the fact that the O Bones do not impede the regular hearing of the wearer, meaning they can still hear conversations or environmental sounds. Additionally, the O Bones do not side inside the wearer's ear, and they can be easily cleaned, meaning they are a very hygienic pair of headphones.
The O Bones are available now for approximately $87 USD on Orange Amplification's website.
