Bone-Transmitting Headphones

‘Headbones’ Amplify Sounds By Sending Vibrations Through the Skull

— June 19, 2014 — Tech

Shaped to easily rest upon your temporal bone, the Headbones can instantly shut out background noise if you desire, making the audio experience much more tailored to your preferred taste. Utilizing the natural properties of the human skull to send audio vibrations, and subsequently enhance hearing capabilities, the Headbones help to minimize any potential hearing damage that may occur.

Perfect for listening to beats at home or simply jamming to tunes while out for a run, the Headbones are offering a unique alternative to the traditional audio accessories.
