    Bone conduction headphones?

    I was wondering if anyone's tried riding with bone conduction headphones rather than the usual in-ear ones. I saw this money-back guarantee from Panasonic on their RP-HGS10E-G (until 30/12/2015):

    Thought I might give them a go.
    Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. And don't start a sentence with a conjugation. (William Safire)

    Only issue I see is that won't block out wind noise. Other than that, money back guarantee us hard to go wrong with.

    Wouldn't the band around the back cause issues in a helmet?

    every time I've had my ears tested by an audiologist (a lot) they do it first with a conventional headphone over the ear, and then with a bone phone. The bone phone has to be pretty tight against the skull to work well, and gets, not painful but pretty uncomfortable after a while. I wouldn't like to have to have that pressure against my head for an extended time.
    The Panasonics might be different but I'd expect they have to have very close contact to work well.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
