Our headphones are innovative and novel, but the bone conduction technology it uses isn’t anything new.
A common response we receive from customers is that they have never heard of bone conduction technology prior to using our BoneTalker Adder headphones.
Believe it or not, bone conduction technology has existed since the 18th century!
Renowned music composer Ludwig Van Beethoven hid his hearing deterioration disability and invented a technique to recognize vibrations of piano notes. He attached a rod to his piano and clenched it in his teeth. When he played the piano, the rod transferred the musical notes to his jaws as vibrations. These vibrations spread through his cheek bones to reach his inner ear, allow him to hear what he played.
Burning with the passion for music, Symphony No. 9 was born from bone conduction technology.

Innovative and useful bone conduction products like our BoneTalker headphones benefit users in their daily activities by delivering sound directly to the inner ear. This keeps our ears open to the surrounding sounds, making bone conduction headphones safer than conventional headphones.
