[blindLaw] Bone conduction & open-ear headphones

I honestly prefer on-ear headphones. In large settings where I tried using
BCT (bone-conduction technology), the sound was not as clear, I had to
increase the volume, and my head hurt more afterwards. It does not feel
that great/lasting for me. For bct headphones, I had to increase the volume
to a higher amount in office settings; but for on-ear, I usually have the
volume less than 5% or so.
I like on-ear headphones because they are not in the ear (like buds), over
ear (surrounding like noise-cancelling), and can be moved/adjusted, so that
one ear hears the outside more if wanted. They are harder to find though,
especially with the cord.
The one I currently prefer (cheaper option) is
$10 for Amazon.com: Panasonic Headphones On-Ear Lightweight with XBS
RP-HT21 (Black & Silver) : Electronics
