Open-Ear & Bone Conduction Headphones

Bone conduction headphones are the latest advancement in the world of personal audio. Rather than situating a speaker in or on your ear, bone conductors rest on your cheekbone. From there, they send soundwaves directly to your cochlea, skipping your eardrum altogether. Although anyone can enjoy the benefits of bone conduction technology, people with hearing aids should take special note.

Damage to your eardrum often causes partial hearing loss. Regular headphones send audio waves past your eardrums in their journey down your ear canal. But with a pair of bone conduction headphones, you can listen to music even without a fully functional eardrum. They'll let you hear the finer details of your favorite songs again, as if for the first time.

But open-ear headphones aren't just for the hearing impaired. Traditional headphones block out the sounds of the outside world and can feel almost claustrophobic as a result. Open-ear models let you listen to your favorite music while staying aware of your surroundings. And while open-ear headphones will surprise you with their sound quality, don't expect much in the way of noise cancellation.

Abt's selection of open-ear headphones has something for everyone. Shop models from top brands, like Bose and AfterShokz to find your perfect pair.
