Bone conducting headphones are an interesting concept because they don’t use speakers, in the traditional sense. Bone conducting headphones instead use mini vibrations to send sound why bypassing the eardrum.
AfterShokz is one such brand that uses this technology to not only produce a quality product but also provide premium sound. However, in doing so, they choose to not sacrifice comfort. Their newest model is the OpenComm. This headset is Bluetooth and specifically designed for meetings, conference calls, and general high-class performance.
It accomplishes this goal with AfterShokz’s 7th generation of their bone conduction technology, but also a DSP boom microphone for collecting your voice. The DSP boom microphone uses noise-canceling to eliminate the background noise around your office, making sure the people around you only hear your voice. Additionally, the conduction system connects to your cheekbone and leaves your ears unobstructed, so you won’t be distracted from the things going on around you.
Additional OpenComm feature are:
