It was just too dangerous using conventional headphones on the road so this new product is just perfect for my needs. I was a bit skeptical to be honest about the sound quality before I tried them but I knew the safety aspect would outweigh a slight loss of audio quality. I am pleasantly surprised though; the tunes sound just as good as the in ear buds I used before and the bluetooth connectivity is ideal.

Though headphones that use bone conduction technology to transmit sounds through the cheek bones to the inner ear are not exactly new, a trip to the personal audio section of your local electronics store will confirm that they haven't really jumped into the mainstream.

The audio engineers at Damson aren’t afraid to play around with new technology. The last piece we reviewed from Damson, the Twist, was a small Bluetooth speaker that used Navy-patented tech called Incisor Diffusion to vibrate surfaces, essentially turning flat surfaces into speakers for better bass response. For its new Kickstarter project, Headbones, Damson is again employing vibration technology, only this time it’s your skull — not a table — that makes the system work.

What makes the Damson Headbones a product to check out is you can take calls on it, listen to music and even listen to what’s going around you and not miss anything. Also bone conduction is supposed to be better than using your ears and can combat future hearing loss.
