I live in LA and like to walk a lot so I bought a pair made by Aftershokz. I find them lightweight, fairly comfortable, the fidelity akin to an earbud, and, most importantly I can hear traffic, emergency vehicles, protect my hearing and, be aware if someone is coming up behind me when I am walking (important, these days, especially for women.) My only issue in wearing them is combined with with sunglasses it is a bit uncomfortable, but think that a designer could consider that in future models.

A few comments to be made here about terminology:
The cochlea is simply the cochlea. It is part of the inner ear. The vestibular system is the other part of the inner ear. There is no ‘inner’ cochlea.
The sensory cells of the cochlea are called hair cells. (Stereo)cilia are not those cells. They are hair-like projections from those cells that move in response to mechanical stimulus, allowing ions to cross the membrane of the hair cells.

The sound quality is nowhere near the same as headphones, even AirPods. So you have to decide if it’s too sub-par for your needs.

“It should be noted, however, that the overall sound quality isn’t higher-end. That makes little difference for audio like podcasts, though fidelity on music is significantly worse than a higher-end headphone — or even AirPod — experience.”

Maybe that gets better, maybe not, but for stuff like podcasts, workout music, etc., it worked for me. Just manage your expectations on that one.

Is this an ad? These things are terrible in sound quality, fit and feel, and look.
