Shokz
Shokz builds bone-conduction headphones that sit in front of the ear canal rather than inside it, transmitting sound through vibration to the cheekbone so riders can hear music or calls while staying fully aware of traffic and surroundings. How do bone-conduction headphones work? Bone-conduction headphones send sound vibrations through the cheekbone directly to the inner ear, bypassing the eardrum. Because the ear canal stays completely open, you can hear ambient sound — traffic, other riders, verbal cues — at the same time as your music or calls. Are Shokz headphones safe to use while cycling on the road? Yes, that's the core design purpose — by keeping your ear canal open, Shokz headphones let you stay aware of your surroundings in a way that traditional in-ear or over-ear headphones don't, making them a safer choice for road and group riding.
