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: The launch of AfterShokz (now Shokz) in 2011, was the start of the new acoustical listening experience for sports enthusiasts, offering them a more comfortable and safe listening experience and allowing them to perform better. Sportz, launched in 2012, was the first bone conduction wired headset and was promptly named one of "Nine Products That Changed the World" by PCWorld magazine. Bluez followed a year later as the first bone-conduction Bluetooth headset. The brand furthered its independently researched and developed core technologies, with “Leak Slayer™” and “PremiumPitch™,” to improve the product. The user experience continued to garner focus, leading to the 2017 launch of the upgraded Air sports headphones. By 2019, the brand had launched the outdoor sports series flagship Aeropex sports earphones.

Plus, it has an FM radio that allows you to listen to music, have phone conversations or conference calls, and even enjoy an fine sound experience of your playing games, videos or movies. Things To Consider This simple set of speakers were the quietest of all those we tested. That's not a huge problem (after all, your ear is only a few inches away, and you don't want sound leakage to disturb your partner), but we had to turn the volume up to full using the dial integrated into the 2m cable, and turn it almost to maximum on our phone as well. The open-ear design of these headphones means that nothing plugs into or covers your ears, offering a comfortable, pain-free experience. It also offers the most hygienic way to enjoy music during sports. All Shokz headphones are mounted on light-weight titanium frames. In addition to its great sound quality, the LebonYard Bluetooth Bone Conduction Speaker also has a large 500mAh battery capacity, giving you up to 20 hours of battery life. It also has a timed shutdown feature and an IPX 4 waterproof grade, making it safe to use even in wet conditions.Yes, bone conduction does work. Bone conduction is a method of hearing in which sound waves are sent directly to the inner ear via the bones of the skull. This bypasses the outer and middle ear, allowing sound to be heard without the need for traditional hearing aids. In building up its portfolio of IP rights, Shokz uses the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), which offers a streamlined and cost-effect route to seeking patent protection for its cutting-edge technologies in international markets. In so doing, Shokz is seeking to build an “unbreachable patent moat in the field of bone conduction.” This approach will enable Shokz to safeguard its R&D achievements, maintain its leading position in the field and will enable it to defend itself effectively against any infringement of its rights. Stream of new products: creating a “category concept” (Source: Shokz.com) These rights have also allowed the company to effectively do battle with cottage manufacturers who illegally copy their patented technology. Shokz invests significantly in monitoring abusive use of its rights. Marketing staff and patent attorneys regularly search for similar products appearing on the market, which the company’s patent staff further investigate. The company’s patent engineers, technical staff and external patent attorneys jointly confirm whether these products infringe its patents. For products that do cross the line, the infringing party will be asked to cease infringement and compensate Shokz through various means for the relevant losses. This may include, for example, removing links to pirated products, a letter from the company’s lawyers, or in more serious cases, litigation. Deterring copycats

The HumBird Speaker is the world’s smallest and most versatile bone conduction speaker that allows you to have a different but always spectacular experience of sound anywhere, in any context. Transforms anything hollow Into a speaker, at any time.HumBird Speaker allows you to listen to music, follow podcasts, have individual phone conversations or conference calls, and even enjoy an amazing experience of the sound of your games, videos or films played on your device. Drown out the voices in your head with a bone conduction transducer! This incredible speaker does not have a moving cone like most speakers you've seen, instead, a small metal rod is wrapped with the voice coil. When current is pulsed through the coil, the magnetic field causes a piece of metal to expand and contract - if pressed against a flat surface or cavity it turns it into a speaker!
