What Are The Side Effects of Bone Conduction Headphones and Best Bluetooth Headphones in 2023

 This is an era of frequent disasters, but also an era of heroes. At the scene of emergencies such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, there are always respectable firefighters who are desperate to save lives. Various equipment enters the rescue scene with firefighters, among which communication equipment is the most important. The harsh environment of the rescue site is a huge challenge for firefighters to communicate.

To solve this problem, people have equipped firefighters with a new communication artifact — tactical bone conduction headphones to help firefighters listen to clear instructions in noisy and harsh environments, so that they can accurately and quickly reply to information. Tactical bone conduction headphones relatively bulky. Based on the same principle of sound transmission, engineers have developed this type of headphones for ordinary users. In the past two years, they have become a phenomenon-level earphone product and are very popular among young people.

What are bone conduction headphones?

Bone conduction earphones are earphones that “attach the sounding unit to the temple and other parts, convert the sound into mechanical vibration by the sounding unit, cause the bone to vibrate through the mechanical vibration, and conduct the sound to the auditory nerve from the bone”. Simply put, bone conduction headphones are headphones that use human bones as the sound transmission medium.

Bone conduction headphones are a new application of mature technology. Its technology is widely used in the military, fire protection, hearing aids, and other fields. Daily listening to music is a newly expanded application field of bone conduction earphones. However, it is foreseeable that the field of listening to music will make bone conduction headphones more popular.

However, some people worry about the side effects of bone conduction headphones

What are the side effects of bone conduction headphones?

Many people think that bone conduction headphones have side effects. Some people think that they are harmful to the body because they vibrates the bones to hear the sound which will affect the brain. However, this statement is not accurate. The side effects of bone conduction are very low. The following will clarify the rumors about the side effects of bone conduction one by one.

Side Effects of Bone Conduction Headphones 1: Hearing Damage? rumor!

Bone conduction headphones are the most hearing-protective of all headphones. Because the way of bone conduction transmits sound does not need to pass through the eardrum, which can avoid damage to the eardrum. And its vibration waves are very gentle, and the impact on the cochlea is relatively small.

Side effects of bone conduction headphones 2: damage the brain? rumor!

Some people think that the electromagnetic waves of bone conduction headphones will cause damage to the brain nerves. Of course, any electronic product has problems with electromagnetic waves, and strong electromagnetic waves will indeed cause damage to the brain nerves. However, the electromagnetic waves of bone conduction headphones are extremely weak and have the same strength as the electromagnetic waves existing in nature. So it will not cause damage to human brain nerves and hearing nerves.

Side effects of bone conduction earphones 3: Pain after wearing for a long time? Inaccurate!

It is indeed uncomfortable to wear bone conduction headphones for a long time. Long-term wearing here means that the sound unit is attached to the temple and worn for more than 3–4 hours. Usually, there will be no problem wearing it for less than 2 hours. Because even traditional over-ear headphones can be uncomfortable to wear for hours on end.

In addition, some people mentioned that wearing bone conduction headphones for a long time, caused pain in the temples. This situation has a lot to do with the individual’s physique — it is the individual’s physique that causes trigeminal neuralgia.

Therefore, we can know that the side effects of bone conduction headphones are very low. It is a very healthy headphone.

In addition to being very healthy, bone conduction headphones have many advantages, such as safety, comfort, high waterproof level, etc. These advantages also make them more and more popular.

There are more and more brands of Bluetooth bone conduction headphones in the market, so how to choose the right one?My suggestion is to pay attention to the two key points: sound quality and sound leakage reduction, and choose the brands with better technology accumulation.Here are five best bone conduction headphones for you all.
