Water-Proof Bone Conduction Headphones

Ahhh, bone-conduction headphones. Now I can wear my OSHA-required earplugs at work and still listen to my Indn music all without going deaf from having to turn up the volume so I can hear over the racket of the workplace. Actually, mitakuyapi (my relatives), tain't a joke. I really do work where it's incredibly noisy; I am required to wear earplugs in order to save my hearing (& whatever I still have of my sanity); & with these, I can actually listen to powwow songs (MY kind of music) instead of the sound of the gears in my head grinding, or 8 - 10 hrs of CW or 'other'. Now how much are these & where do I get 'em?

Someone should sell a little iPod frigate that floats along ontop of the pool with the earphone cord dangling down to you. I'm sure people would buy it.

You very much still need a waterproof case, and it may matter how the jack is designed...it may not work with every case. I have a waterproof case that came with some pretty unacceptable headphones...I'd love to see if this headset will work with that case.

Quick Question - Does that massive jack keep my iPod dry, or do i still need to buy that crazy waterproof case?

Neon Yellow and Grey? That's a winner of a color combo right there.

FWIW, these don't work by sending signals directly to the brain. The vibrations move through your skull, yes, but end up in your inner ear just like ordinary soundwaves, and are translated into neural impulses in the same way.

I think this will lead to a new condition: osteotinnitus.
