[nfbcs] Good earbuds for a good tablet!

[Jack Heim]

I use a bone-conduction headset, specifically, Aftershokz Bluez2. I am 
not sure what the science is with respect to different types of 
headphones. I believe there is proof that ear buds damage your hearing. 
But I doubt there is scientific evidence that a bone-conduction headset 
does not. So I will admit I am not being entirely scientific here. But I 
try to stay away from anything that goes in or even over my ears.


You get good sound quality from speech with a bone-conduction headset. 
So they are good for listening to a screen reader, talking books, and 
podcasts. They are not great for music. If you are a real music geek you 
might find the sound quality unacceptable.
