[blindLaw] Bone conduction & open-ear headphones

[Julie A. Orozco]

I love my bone conduction headphones. I have the Shokz, not sure which model. But I generally use them when listening to something long that I don't have to interact with much. 

I did not know there were bone conduction headphones with a cord. I would recommend these because there is absolutely a delay when I use my Shoksz with my computer. 

I don't like over-the-ear headphones because they make me feel clostrophobic, and I get tension headaches easily, so the bone conduction headphones are ideal for me. The ones I have are easy to use, set up, and seem to stay alive for a long time. 

Good luck!

Hi everyone,

As a totally blind person, I use in-ear headphones every day for long hours in the office, which has been very annoying since that causes issues for my ears, namely the prolonged usage caused more earwax and consequently my ears get blocked regularly. I’m thinking now of shifting to bone conduction or open-air headphones, but not sure how efficient they would be when I pair them with my laptop through Bluetooth, as I think there is usually some delay with the sound of the screen reader when using Bluetooth headphones.

If anyone has tried bone conduction headphones with the screen reader, would be grateful for any information about how good its connection with laptops. And what types would you recommend?

Best Regards,
Abdul
