We all love to listen to music, and personal audio gear has evolved in many ways over the decades. For the most part, improvements in the tech have been focused on sound quality and portability. But these Open Ear Induction Stereo Wireless Headphones finally make a relatively new feature affordable.

For only $33.99 (regularly $109), you can have the ability to hear your tunes and the outside world without one disturbing the other.

Hear the music in your bones — literally

This ability is possible through bone-conduction technology, and it works exactly how you might think. Rather than funneling sound directly into your ear canal (which can damage your hearing if you crank things up too loud), these bone-conducting headphones use precise vibrations to transmit the sound waves through the bones of your skull.

They sit comfortably over your earlobes instead of being jammed inside your ear. And they offer greater awareness of what’s going on around you.

First and foremost, you can now hear outside sounds completely unmuffled. They’re also much more secure than traditional headphones, as they have a strap that connects the devices fitting snugly across the back of the head. These two features make them ideal for jogging or other high-impact workouts, especially in outdoor settings where users must stay alert for traffic or other hazards.

Save on bone-conduction headphones

Even without the high-tech delivery method, this is a quality piece of personal audio. The plastic and alloy casing has an IPX6 water-resistance rating that keeps it safe from stray drops of rain or sweat. Bluetooth capability lets it pair seamlessly with your smartphone or any other compatible device.

And when fully charged via the USB connector, these bone-conduction earbuds can provide up to six hours of continuous music, podcasts or audiobooks. In short, this is an incredible piece of on-the-go tech.

Ready to listen to your favorite audio in a whole new way? Grab these Open Ear Induction Stereo Wireless Headphones now for just $33.99 (regularly $109).
