If you’re a cyclist, you’re probably already familiar with bone conduction headphones. They’re the only type of headphones allowed on two wheels, as they leave your ears completely free to hear ambient sounds. That got us thinking: why not use these headphones for playing the flute? As you’ll see, they can be incredibly useful! Let’s dive in!<\/strong><\/p>\n Among the ever-growing range of products, there’s one leading brand for bone conduction headphones: Shokz. A pioneer in the field, the company has continuously expanded its catalog and refined its products over the years, now offering some of the most advanced models on the market.<\/p>\n In their lineup, we used the OpenRun headset \u2014 the brand\u2019s entry-level model \u2014 available in various colors to match your mood and personality. We kept it classic with the sleek black version.<\/p>\n The technology behind the headset is osteophony, or bone conduction \u2014 meaning the sound is transmitted to the inner ear via the bones in your skull. This health-safe process uses two transducers positioned in front of your ears, which transmit sound waves from your Bluetooth-connected audio source. The first try can feel a little unusual, but after a few minutes, you forget it\u2019s even there \u2014 to the point where you might actually forget you’re wearing it. The sound feels as though it\u2019s coming from a distant source and blends seamlessly with ambient noise, allowing you to have real conversations while the headset is still on.<\/p>\n Surprisingly, the sound quality is quite good. Of course, it won\u2019t rival high-end headphones, but it offers a respectable experience \u2014 even for classical music listening.<\/p>\n Comfortable and ultra-lightweight, it disappears as long as the volume isn\u2019t too high. At louder volumes, vibrations can become a bit unpleasant, but simply adjusting the volume resolves this instantly.<\/p>\n The headset comes with a proprietary charger. The design is clever, using small magnets to connect to the headset \u2014 practical and neat. However, you can\u2019t just grab any old cable to charge it\u2026 That said, with upcoming EU regulations, the charging system will likely be updated to USB-C.<\/p>\nOverview<\/h4>\n

\nOne small drawback: despite its bulky size, the headset doesn\u2019t come with a storage case. A shame. That said, many specially designed cases are available online at very reasonable prices. We went with this model, which does the job perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n
