The Best Bone Conduction Headphones for Running

Wissonly Hi Runner Bone Conduction headphone


Wissonly is a headphone brand that attaches great attention on health, and that does not hurt the ears. Their team is also the first one to design non-in-ear headphones that are used to listen to songs. They began to explore the application of bone conduction technology to Bluetooth headphones as early as 10 years ago. After 10 years of accumulation, they have made great progress in the sound quality improvement and sound leakage reduction of bone conduction headphones. And these technologies are applied to their Wissonly Hi Runner headphones, their flagship product.
In order to solve the problem of sound leakage of bone conduction headphones, wissonly developed full closed sound leakage reduction technology. They comprehensively improved the vibration of the headphones, body design, software optimization and other directions. They finally reduced the sound leakage by 90%. In terms of sound quality, most of the bone conduction headphones have average sound quality, but the sound quality of Wissonly Hi Runner is undoubtedly better in bone conduction. They used a large-sized vibration unit, and through structural optimization, and finally increased the effective vibration area, so that the sound range was wide. The official claimed sound quality reach the HIFI level, but I don't think that they reached. They are just close to the HIFI sound quality, which is enough to satisfy me.
The excellent performance of these two characteristics, sound leakage reduction and sound quality, makes Wissonly Hi Runner have the basic conditions to become an excellent bone conduction headphone. Their other configurations are also very good. They are with a built-in 32GB of memory, and can play music even without connecting the phone. You can use them as an MP3 player.

The best running headphones for 2023:

圖片
  Getting motivated to lace up your running shoes and hit the pavement can be challenging enough, but millions of devout joggers and marathon runners will tell you that they can't do it without the sounds of their favorite 125-BMP tunes pushing them along. But to do this, you need a firmly-fitting and great-sounding pair of running headphones. Not every pair of earbuds are suitable for running, though. Wired headphones, for instance, might become a nuisance after a few minutes, and poorly designed earbuds can quickly fall out with a little sweat or movement. When shopping for a good pair of running earbuds, you want to consider several things: do you want to block out the world around you with active noise cancelation or do you want features like transparency mode so you can hear traffic or other potential obstacles?

Many options at a variety of prices also offer active noise cancellation—they model the background noise and make an inverse waveform that effectively “cancels” the sound, taming the rumble of a subway or an airplane or even the howl of a lawn mower. How should you choose? We rate sound quality most heavily in our ratings, because headphones that sound great make you happy, while those that sound bad can put a perma-frown on your face. The very best-sounding models tend to be expensive, but you can find some great options for around $100. Consumer Reports is a nonprofit member organization.

  In the past two years, I have a new toy, which is bone conduction headphones. I use them to listen to music while running and it feels good. I often share opinions about headphone products and music with my friends in the hardware community and sports community. Nowadays, many people can't figure out the difference between bone conduction headphones and air conduction headphones. Some people even listen to the propaganda of unscrupulous merchants and mistakenly say that air conduction headphones are an upgraded version of bone conduction headphones, which really makes me speechless. The difference between bone conduction headphones and air conduction headphones Literally understood, their main difference is in the way of sound transmission. Bone conduction headphones use the skull as a medium to transmit sound, while air conduction headphones use air as a medium to transmit sound.  The reason why some people mistakenly think that air conduction headphones are an upgraded ver...
