MODERATORS
I have two sets of bone conduction headphones. They wrap around like old school ones.
They last nearly all day with me wearing it for work, chores and even white noise while I sleep. Last 10+ hours each easily with a 2~ hour charge time.
Mind if I ask which you're using? Looking to retire my second had samsung buds, struggling to get 1 hour out of the left ear lately. Wouldn't mind looking into these bone conducting types.
Shokz is pretty much the only brand worth your time in bone conduction.
Their flagship model OpenRun Pro 2 is very good kit.
They're very different to true wireless buds though, check out a demo unit if you can, especially to get the right size and see if the temple pressure works for you.
Good info. Thanks!
I dont mind. Addressing the other guy here.
I tried shokz
$180 for the top end one that includes the USB WiFi transceiver. I prefer USB dongle ones because Bluetooth does a stupid audio compression with calls.
No issue with audio or build quality but the USB dongle required a headset power cycle or replugging the dongle if I went out of range and returned. (Like leaving the house or just going too far.) Returned it due to that. I can't tolerate that glitch for that price point. It was a daily annoyance.
I turned around and purchased four sets of no name bone conducting headsets for less than the Shokz. All of them worked as intended. I wasn't kind to them at all. Doing chores, exercise, sleep with them on and even shower with them on.
I broke one of them wiping them off and anothers battery died. Two survived.
Picun T1 are fantastic. Durable, water resistant and fantastic bass for the price. Best bass of the 5 sets I tried.

Were talking $20 vs $180~ for Shokz.
These are totally worth the price point.
