      bone-conducting headphones

      Very curious to try. I bought some surprisingly cheap ones to see if it would be worth spending more on them, but the ones I received said nothing about bone conduction so the ad was a flat out lie.

      Yes

      Yes

        If you turn them up to high volume, they distort, buzz, and tickle on your skin. So only quiet to mid volume. The sound quality is medium-high(I’m no audiophile). Being able to listen to media and be aware of surroundings is excellent. Previously achievable with in-earbuds, only by doing the one earpiece dangle. Sweat/water resistant. 8hr playtime. Pretty wild.

      So, I tried wearing earplugs with my Shokz. Disappointingly, the sound became very, very muffled. I don’t think that it’s true bone conduction, because if it was, then earplugs shouldn’t have had a significant impact on the sound. They’re still nice, just… Not as cool.

      Firefly is solidly decent. It’s not great, it’s not terrible. It had real potential, and then got cancelled after 12 (?) episodes. Babylon 5 was arguably a better show overall, but I can see why Firefly still has a solid fandom 20 years later.

        Interesting test. I just tried mine with my high fidelity ear plugs and it actually made it clearer when my music is at a lower volume. of course these aren’t meant to block out all sounds though.

        With regular earplugs, its a little muffled, but I’m honestly quite impressed by how good it still sounds.

        Glad to see Innovation getting so much love after being on SUSD. It’s really a great game.

        I’ve also enjoyed exploring Mottainai after everything in the rules finally clicked.

      Do you have a specific recommendation? I’m interested in trying one

        Not OP but I got Shokz OpenMove years ago, specifically because they use USB type-C to charge. . I use them daily at work and love them. Sound is good enough for me. I can hear music and stuff still going on at work. It’s like sounds being pumped into your brain with your ears still working.
