Here I am using BlueTooth headphones that transmit audio trough vibration over my chin bones into my ears covered with ear plugs.
The best of both worlds
can you recommend a good brand? been looking for a good pair of those.
I use Aftershokz and have no experience with any other brand. I had mine for at least 2years the battery lasts me 2 full work days on one charge and are excellent in an environment where you have to use ear plugs due to high noise. They are comfy and I don't have to worry about losing them. They however do make audible "humm" noise when standing near working welding machines. I think for this specific scenario they are absolutely perfect for me however I would never use them for their intended purpose which was outdoors sports. At least not without ear plugs as I find them necessary otherwise the surrounding noise (due to passing cars for example) may easily overpower them. For your typical gardening, walk in a forest, etc... they are fine though even without ear plugs as long as there is not too much surrounding noise. I also find the use of an EQ necessary as I found the base to be too overpowering.
thanks, i appreciate all the other info. part of my job is noisy, so I've been using noise cancelling buds. but I felt like they might damage my hearing over time.
