Hi Guys,
So I dont know how many of you suffer from this condition but I cannot use in-ear earphones. Not even for few minutes and has been using earphones which just sit on the ear. Now, I cannot wear these for long hours. Same goes with headhpones. Recently came across bone conduction headphones and would like to know if anyone is using it and whats their view!

I tried it for a day when a colleague lent it to me a couple of years ago. I can't remember the brand or model though.

It was comfortable and has good battery life. But the sound quality is mediocre. It'll be fine for calls, meetings, podcasts and but not recommended for music, movies etc. A lot of detail is lost (Sounded closer to a hearing aid than proper earphones IMO). Another thing is that it can get drowned out by ambient noise easily.

Things might have improved since then, but this was my experience. Depending on what you plan to use it for, this could be a good option.

So the primary usage is calls or movies during commuting. But I feel that its not very suitable for it as well :(
