One side is an oscillator, the other is a microphone. When the sounds hits the mastoid bone it activates both ears, not just one.

The only problem I could see with this headphone is that, like my son's hearing aids, there's no stereo. Both ears receive the same signal.]]>Nov 21st 2006 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/Nov 21st 2006 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/Nov 21st 2006 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/Nov 21st 2006 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/
But, (a) how does that apply to the consumer, and (b) how do you create a device that not only won't be bulky, but popular with the market as well? I'll admit that this device is a great idea, but it's design needs to be totally reworked if the company plans on marketing this for general consumption. It looks far too bulky, seems to be too easily removed from the head, and the color is way too loud.]]>Nov 21st 2006 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/Nov 21st 2006 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/Nov 21st 2006 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/
You can hear the sounds more clearly when you are submerged than when you are above the surface. Compared to earphones, the sound is much poorer and you don't have nearly the same wide range of sounds.

Earphones just don't work well in water so bone induction makes sense in this application. However, if you're not swimming, I would stick with earphones.]]>Nov 21st 2006 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/Nov 21st 2006 8:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/Nov 21st 2006 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/Nov 21st 2006 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/21/n-tech-headphones-sing-straight-into-your-bones/ http://tanetane92.web.infoseek.co.jp/052961.jpg]]>Nov 21st 2006 7:09PM
