Won't Aftershokz do the job?
-----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Friday, March 1, 2024 6:00 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Open-Ear or Bone Conduction Wireless Headphones for Safe Travel in Noisy High Traffic Areas Sadly, with the open ear, or bone conduction headphones, the fact that they let the surrounding sound in, means that if the sound is really loud, you cannot hear the info through the earphones. If you could, you would probably be damaging your hearing. The Bluetooth speaker idea should work better. I hope folks find what they need.
