    Despite thinking they kind of sound like garbage, this is the best use case for bone conduction headphones.

      Granted, mine are probably higher-end ones (Openrun Pro) but the sound isn’t that bad. Certainly not audiophile-worthy, but I like to compare it to early-90s Sound Blaster computer speakers. They get the job done.

      I love mine because they don’t totally disconnect me from the rest of the world, and when I am doing some kind of physical activity my ears are open to let heat escape (supposedly that’s a major place for body heat to be released)

        I have the same, and yeah maybe I was too harsh. But compared to my over ears they’re definitely not spectacular.
