The "bone conduction wireless headphones" I bought at Geo did a better job than I imagined [Today's life hack tool]

Personally, bone conduction earphones that have been on my mind for a long time.

However, I put it on hold because it was quite expensive, but I found "Bone Conduction Wireless Headphones B300" for about 3,000 yen (at the time of purchase) at GEO.

This item was almost an impulse purchase when I saw the affordable price. Let's review it.

Check it out if you like.

The opposite of noise canceling

If you were to describe the B300 bone conduction earphones in one word, it would be the exact opposite concept of noise canceling.

To put it bluntly, these earbuds that let you hear everything around you aren't for people who want to immerse themselves in their favorite artist's songs.

Imagine the background music playing in a hotel lobby. Music that is played comfortably in the ears at a volume that does not interfere with the conversation of the people there.

Is it easy to understand that "B300" is an item that realizes that BGM in a personal way?

There is a strange feeling that the sound you hear changes depending on whether you concentrate on the sound of the earphone or the surrounding sound.

It's not just the sound that travels through your bones

Since it's named "bone conduction," you might have the impression that it's sending sound signals directly to your brain. By the way, the sound is normally emitted from the driver.

When I used it, I had the impression that I was listening to the high frequencies through my ears, because it was not possible to reproduce gorgeous sounds with only the sound transmitted through the bones.

In other words, when using on a train, etc., the person next to you will hear the sound leakage that is unique to earphones, so you need to be careful about the volume.

As I mentioned earlier, the advantage of these earphones is that they don't have a housing that acts like earplugs, and you can easily hear the surrounding sounds, so it's not suitable to use them at high volume in the first place. .

Very useful for web conferencing and telework

B300 is ideal for situations such as web conferencing between multiple groups or teleworking while hearing calls from family members. It will be active.

Even if you don't want the sound to come out of the speakers because your child is sleeping, you should be able to listen to music comfortably without worrying about blocking your ears with earphones and not being able to sense the child's presence.

Exactly, earphones that are perfect for work. Please try using it.
