Open-ear headphones, like bone conduction headphones, are worn so the transducers sit comfortably outside your ear, just above your temple bones.
Here's a breakdown of how to wear them correctly:
- Positioning: Place the headphones so the transducers (the part that delivers the sound) rest comfortably outside your ear canal. They should be positioned just above your temple bones, in front of your ear.
- Secure Fit: Ensure the headphones are secure and stable. The band should comfortably wrap around the back of your head, keeping the transducers in place.
- Activation: Once you've confirmed a secure and comfortable fit, turn on your open-ear headphones.
- Enjoy: With the headphones correctly positioned and powered on, you can enjoy your audio while remaining aware of your surroundings.
Open-ear headphones utilize bone conduction technology or air conduction outside the ear canal. This allows you to hear sounds transmitted through your cheekbones (in the case of bone conduction) or delivered near your ear (in the case of air conduction) , leaving your ear canals open to ambient noise. This makes them suitable for activities where situational awareness is important, like running, cycling, or working in an office.
