I’ve always hated buds, but also can’t wear standard over ear headphones when riding a bike with a helmet on. They’re also useful in the winter.
Looking specifically for clip on over ear headphones. Wired or wireless, although wireless would be preferred. So far the only ones I’ve ever found are cheap ones on Alibaba that will shock you in the winter (and break easily) and these Koss ones that have been really good quality, but are American.
Philips do some I had a wired pair some years ago I used for traveling which lasted.
Oh! These are different, but I’ve always been curious what bone conduction headphones are like. I’ve seen other bone conduction headphones too - I think it’s like them for running especially, but don’t know about the gym since they play their own music there too.
What’s it like using them? Is it kind of like hearing a speaker?
I don’t own any but my brother does and he swears by them when he’s running or on the bike because he can still hear the rest of the world. He has a different set of earphones for when he is focussing or working or in his car (never heard of anyone doing that, but he prefers it so yeah).
Yeah that’s exactly why I’m interested in them! There’s situations where I want to do listen to my surroundings
Sennheiser is German, not sure if they do that style
Yes, but I already have really good wired ones (and don’t like buds). I’ve had bad luck with Sennheiser in the past - I initially got them because they were one of the few with built in wired mic, but no sound came out of the right side. When they gave me a replacement, there was instead a severe crackling issue.
That’s actually how I ended up getting the Koss.
