00:00Bone conduction earbuds versus open earbuds. Don't pick wrong. Bone conduction earbuds convert sound waves into vibrations that travel directly
00:07through the cheekbones and the jaw, aka the bones in your face, to the inner ears. Because your ears are
00:13open, they can hear cars, people, or anything around you. That's the biggest advantage. But there are trade-offs. Sound
00:20quality isn't as rich as traditional headphones, bass is weaker, sometimes a little non-existent, and in loud environments, it's
00:27hard to hear your audio clearly.
00:29Open earbuds, however, use small speakers that sit just outside your ear and direct sound towards it. You may also
00:35see this referred to as air conduction. So, which should you pick? Bone conduction is better if you want maximum
00:41awareness and a super lightweight, barely there feel, such as if you're doing fitness activities. Open earbuds are better if
00:47you care more about sound quality without needing to sacrifice the ability to hear your surroundings. Which do you think
00:53is right for you?
