Bone conduction is a solid option for getting out and about. That said, like anything, if you have the volume really high, it’ll still drown out noise in general. If you’re in a loud environment where you may need to raise the sound on your headphones, this is something to keep in mind.
Generally though, they lend themselves well for navigational app usage. Getting audible feedback in stereo is going to be easier to hear than with just one headphone and you don’t’ have to worry about blasting out your eardrums Microphone quality for making calls is passable, but I wouldn’t advise on making it one’s default choice for conversations. I have my Plantronics 5200 for this. When I’m on my treadmill, I blast my Trekz Air and drown out the rest of the world, but again, I’m not trying to cross streets or listen for oncoming traffic either.

Here’s my question. The reason I want bone conduction head phones is that I am often walking along noisy streets where it is hard to hear my phone without turning up the volume to the point that it hurts my ear. I tend to wear one ear bud at a time so that I can use my other ear for hearing my environment. I think the main reason most people want bone conduction is to hear without blocking out environmental noise, but do they work well enough that you can hear by a noisy road? Do we still run the risk of hurting our precious hearing when turning up the volume with bone conduction? Thanks. Robin -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
