# Bone-Vibrating Headphones Orange Amplification's 'O Bones' Deliver Sound Through Facial Bones By Colin Smith | Published 2022-03-10 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/o-bones References: [orangeamps](https://orangeamps.com/product/o-bones/) '[Orange Amplification](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-bluetooth-speaker)' has launched the 'O Bones,' a pair of [wireless headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nwm-one-openear-headphones) that deliver the sound they produce through bone vibration rather than air vibration. The headphones use [bone conduction technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bone-conduction-headphones1) 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.
