Comment on My opinion on Bone conduction earphones
macattack@lemmy.world 10 months agoWhen cycling, did you find that they worked as good as or better than noise canceling earbuds to reduce wind?

They don’t reduce wind noise at all. Your ears are completely open and the speaker rests on your cheek. This is for your safety as a cyclist or runner so you can hear traffic noise, that dog barking, pedestrians etc. I would not wear isolating or not cancelling headphones on a bicycle.

Oooooo. I might try these! I’m not a cyclist, but I have a bit of an anxiety issue where I can’t have a sense completely cut off from the outside. I feel very uncomfortable when I have both ears covered and can’t really sense my environment.
I really want a VR set, but I know I won’t like having my vision cut off from “reality.” Stupid anxiety lol

Gotcha. I almost exclusively ride on a bike path so it doesn’t quite fit my needs, but I’ll keep an eye out for them regardless

It’s still good to hear “on your left” or whatever even if cars aren’t a concern. I ride almost exclusively in a bike path and I really like my bone conduction headphones. I mostly listen to audiobooks and podcasts, so a bit of background noise is rarely an issue.
