As I've mentioned in the past, I really enjoy watching all sorts of infomercials and home shopping channels. "As Seen on TV" stuff fascinates me! So, about a week ago, I was re-loading the channels on my antenna and deleting the vast number of channels I have no interest in watching when my TV landed on HSN. So far, so exciting, right? Ha!! I sat back and watched for a bit, I couldn’t help myself.

A few presentations in, the coolest thing came on! Headphones that you don't have to insert into your ears that also aren’t big bulky huge DJ sized either. How do they work? Bone conduction! I was so excited to see these things, you have no idea! I've never been able to wear earbuds because 1) my ear canals are too small (even for child-size earbuds) and 2) I have really sensitive ears and just about any pressure on them is painful.

I got right onto the internet and did some research. The manufacturer and their products are top rated across the board. Now, I knew not to expect Bose standard quality, but compared to not being able to wear anything up to this point, any decent sound at all will be pretty fucking amazing! You wear them around the back of your head and they sit lightly on the top of your ears (where glasses would rest) and the little sound thingies rest in front of your ears on the cheekbone kind of wear your sideburns are.

No surprise, I bought them!!! Almost half off their retail price, so they were a bargain too!

Now, when I got them and opened the package, I thought maybe they were just a little speaker hanging by your and that's what I would be hearing... not so! I asked people if they could hear the music or podcasts I was listening to and no one could! If I wear my hair down, they barely show, which is good. Turns out the sound quality is really good too! You can put ear plugs in if you want more sound immersion (I can’t, but you can). Also, a big plus is that, since nothing is jammed into my ears, I can still hear what's going on around me.

The only drawback so far is that they aren't adjustable, so the back tends to hang down which makes laying back against something uncomfortable. Small price to pay though!!!

I love these things!!
