Sometimes I feel like the only person on earth that cannot find a comfortable pair of headphones. Dramatics aside, does anyone enjoy wearing ear buds that feel as though they are trying to permanently stretch the inside of your ears? At first they feel good and you say to yourself “maybe I have finally gotten past the painful stage”. Then fifteen minutes later – about the time they need to be adjusted – the painful burning begins. So, do you leave them in not? Personally I cringe and then quickly remove them.

Years ago I purchased a Sony Walkman Sports Radio. It is one of the gadgets that I have kept and continued to use although technology has passed it by. Actually, the radio is not my favorite, the headphones that came with it are. They are very thin, easily adjusted and they sit just inside of my ears – pain free.

Now there may be another set of headphones that I could love. The Audio Bone headphones are quite expensive but the price may be worth it. Bone Conduction Technology works by transmitting vibrations to the inner ear via the bone in front of the ears instead of through the eardrum – inside of the ear. Not only do you have a better chance of protecting your hearing but they are more comfortable as well. Big ears or small ears the fit is the same.

The Audio Bone headphones may not please everyone. Those that are looking for the highest quality sound like they would get through a set of noise canceling Bose ear buds may want to pass. After all, the design of the Audio Bone headphones are meant to allow for the surrounding sounds to be heard. This is another reason that I like them. Real life sounds are important to runners, walkers and even cyclists.
