I never cared for bone conduction headphones. They don't fit well or sound well to me. What I would recommend for out and about usage where listening to your outside surround sound system Porten, are cheap Bluetooth headphones but only cover one ear. The Samsung HM 1900 are a good example. So is the Plantronics M 50.
