It seems that “bone conduction” technology become more and more popular nowadays. By embedding this technology, it’s possible to listen to the music (or any sound) without covering your ear. It will send the vibrations directly to your brain through the skull for perfect and pure sound. What an interesting technology, isn’t it?

Previously, we already have several devices that take advantages of the bone conduction - the Ring Phone, the SwiMP3 Underwater MP3 Player, and Nikkei’s Motorcycle Helmet with Integrated Headset. Added to the list, here’s the “Audio Bone” from Pegasus Corp. Japan. This bone conduction headphone is able to deliver sufficient volume and sound quality, again, thanks to the great technology.

Comes in 2 flavours, the black-colored GDB-01 model and white-colored GDB-02 model, the headphone has 80dB/mW Sensitivity, 8 Ohm impendence with 50Hz - 4 kHz frequency range, and 120cm cord length. Weighs at just 60 grams, the Audio Bone will be available in the end of December with for 14,490 Yen or around $125.
