Headphones Use Military Tech To Deliver Tunes Directly To Your Inner Ear

New York-based company AfterShokz has debuted a line of unconventional headphones that use bone conduction innovation to deliver sound waves directly to a person’s inner ear. This technology improves the wearer’s experience as it doesn’t drown out ambient noise so you can remain aware of your surroundings during listening to music.

AfterShokz headphones are powered by military special ops bone conduction innovation and claim to offer consumers a more comfortable, healthier, and safer listening experience. They sit just in front of the ear and deliver sounds through the listener’s cheekbones. Direct vibration of the bones in the head carry the sound waves directly to the inner ear, bypassing the eardrums.

There are three types of headphone available. The Sport is designed for outdoor activities like jogging, hiking and skateboarding. The Mobile with in-line mic automatically interrupts your music if you receive a call. The Game with in-line mic includes a USB connector and is designed for gamers who use Skype or other VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) systems. All of the headphones are lightweight, sweat and water resistant, and feature in-line controls, rechargeable battery, USB charger, water repellent storage tote, and a lifetime warranty.
