It doesn't render high frequencies quite as well as the Pillow Talk, meaning podcasts and audiobooks can sound a little muddy, but very reasonable for the price and superior to the more expensive Sound Oasis Sleep Therapy Pillow Speakers below. What's more, those who will be using the headphones to take calls, but who don’t want interaction with their smartphone while doing so, should look for units with built-in controls and a microphone.

Hummingbird Turns Anything Hollow into a Speaker – With its innovative bone conduction technology, this mini speaker can turn anything hollow into a speaker, providing you with a unique and spectacular sound experience anytime, anywhere. Limited Connectivity – This speaker only connects via Bluetooth, which may be inconvenient for some users who prefer other connectivity options. Zhi Cai; Alan G. Madsen; Douglas G. Richards; Martin L. Lenhardt (2002). "Response of Human Skull to Bone Conducted Sound in the Audiometric to Ultrasonic Range". Virginia Commonwealth University . Retrieved 3 July 2013. HumBird uses bone conduction technology to offer you a DIY customizable experience of sound. You can test and enjoy different sounds—almost as if different instruments are used. Place It on top of different surfaces such as a guitar, a kraft box, a plastic storage box, photo frames, sports helmet or even dashboards can provide you varying of sound effects. In the same way, the following elements generate the following sound effects: Overall, the Inossa Conduction Speaker can be a great buy if good battery life is your top priority. The speaker comprises a 400 mAh battery, which works tirelessly to deliver exceptional sound performance. Also, this speaker is pretty budget-friendly. It was easy to set up and use; however, we experienced Bluetooth connectivity issues as we moved away from the speaker. Per our experience, the Bluetooth functionality works perfectly within a 10-feet distance.Connecting this speaker to our Bluetooth audio device was easy breezy. You can also enjoy true wireless (TWS) stereo sound experience with two Vapeonly Humbird Bone Conduction Speakers that pair automatically using Bluetooth. We were also very impressed with the mic quality. While it wasn’t quite on par with holding a phone up to our face – a longer boom mic might have closed the gap – it’s still better than most headsets out there. Of course, you do have to pay a hefty price for OpenComm UC and the vibrations of bone conduction technology at higher volumes can feel unpleasant but we think it’s worth the cost. And, since you’ll most likely get it to make calls, keeping the volume at a reasonable level is easy.

Look for speakers that provide clear and strong vibrations while maintaining sound quality and clarity. 3. Design Excellent Combination Experience – We highly recommend you to use two interconnected HumBird speakers to achieve true wireless stereo, you can have 2.0 surround sound experience since this innovative Bluetooth enabled device is also TWS enabled. The humbirdSPEAKER works best on hollow, light surfaces, as the sound quality and volume may be reduced on hard surfaces. We endeavour to try out as many different genres of music as possible, as well as other content types such as audiobooks, podcasts and YouTube videos, to get a clear idea of the sonic strengths and weaknesses of a pair of headphones. If the headphones in question support streaming over Bluetooth as well as playing files stored locally on the device, we’ll test both extensively and make use of the full range of audio presets, EQ options and features at our fingertips.During our testing, they've also proven to be great for listening in general – a little bass-heavy, but rich-sounding overall in all modes. In the air, both music and podcasts sounded great and were surprisingly rich, whether streaming by Bluetooth or from the flash drive. Underwater, podcasts’ sound quality was just as good. In Bluetooth mode, briefly press the power button to switch to FM radio mode. You will hear a prompt saying "radio mode." They're also pretty light and comfortable to wear (as you can see from the photo, I tried the square version). The small version weighs 43 grams while the large weighs 48 grams. By comparison, the Echo Frames, the lightest audio glasses on this list, are 31 grams. The glasses include 35% blue light filtering lenses along with a set of polarized sunglass lenses (you can easily swap them in). This smart eyewear is touch-enabled, plus you can play or pause media, manage calls and pair easily to your PC device. The built-in Bluetooth speaker hidden on its frame provides stutter-free sound and does not skip or delay audio.
