Bone conduction is the way of the future. It allows for music lovers to enjoy music, freeing up their hands, and better yet, their outer ear. Meet a safe and fitness-centric bone conduction band called Trekz Titanium.
Trekz Titanium Bone Conduction Headphones
This skull-vibrating headphone looks like a headband with two extenders positioned around the ear. The ends of these extenders feature patented transducers to create mini vibrations that travel through your cheekbones and parts of your skull to reach the inner ear (also known as the cochlea). The result is what sounds like music playing in your head rather than your ears. This opens up your outer ear to remain spatially aware of your surroundings.
Titanium has all the additional makings of a sports headphone which makes these ideal for working out. The open fit means your ears are never covered and naturally allows for one to remain engaged with the world around them. Trekz Titanium is made of… you guessed it, titanium! This means the headband is durable, flexible, and lightweight allowing for a relaxed and comfortable fit. In addition, the frame is designed to repel sweat, water, and dust.
When it comes to sound, Trekz uses PremiumPitch+ technology to ensure the sound created is not weak or faint. PremiumPitch+ is the New York-based company’s patent to establish dynamic range, powerful bass, and a quality audio experience. It can reach a frequency response between 20-20,000 Hertz. With the addition of their patented sound leak technology called Sound Layer, music or voices from calls will not be audible to others. To boot, the system is built with dual noise-cancelling microphones to cancel out ambient noise and enhance speech.
Trekz uses Bluetooth 4.1 technology to communicate with your smart device over a range of up to 33 feet. It can run for up to 6 hours of continuous music playback on a full charge which takes 1.5 hours to reach. On standby users can expect up to 10 days of use.
Trekz Titanium bone conduction headphones can be purchased via AfterShokz.com for $129.99.
